On a serious note, they have some quite good hardware too - a few weeks back they had some decent looking 20" monitors for about £85...

Erm....anyone in for the purchase of those Harriers? Doug? Woody? Mark?

The missing parts shouldn't be a problem. The local black arms market should have 'em all - and a little more.
I'll build the first Harrier capable of carrying nukes! *evilgrin*

Ah well. That was fun while it lasted. I enjoyed if nobody else did but I'm exhausted with all that laughing & trying to keep up with you lot. I'll let you know what happens with this darned fox. Maybe we can get back on topic now. That's if I can figure out what the topic was. ??? Grin

I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't have a clue. Grin

Do you have anywhere to keep them? I'm a tad short of space with all these blasted animals all over the place. Roll Eyes

Hmm...we've got a lot of small mountains (or big hills) around here, with forests and quite lonely areas. How about that? Grin

We've got a little museum at work (couple of Phantoms, JP, Hunter)...

I reckon that fox is watching you now Doug, being cunning and all that.... Grin

Ant's... Well, Amdro has always been the natural solution. Although officially it's for fire ants, and I'm not quite sure if it's sold in Her Majesty's land.

I've heard mixed results about compusive measures like gasoline, oil, etc. If it doesn't work, surely you're doing something to the earth.

Generally, an ant nest is 10 times deeper than it is wide, and the Queen is (if I remember correctly) 2/3 of the way down. If you can find anything to wreak havoc that far below the earth, that should do it.

Failing that, ask the Royal Navy for a bombardment, or me for a good Texas-chili-bomb run! Grin

Going over some of my insect books.

If I read this correctly, the Queen is in fact at the bottom of the nest. You might want to cover the nest in shade as much as possible, to reduce the sunlight, thus temperature, of the entire nest. Not too much else to be had, as most of these books were made to inform about insects, not how to eradicate them in a glorious display of genocide. Wink

Thanks again for the advice. They seem to be fresh out of aardvarks around here. Might be just as well as 'm rapidly running out of space to keep all these animals. Maybe I'm better of with the ones I started with. Roll Eyes

To avoid 1 fox and associated problems Doug's garden would now contain (if he followed advice from Sim V:

2 Fox Hounds
1 Llama
1 Tiger
1 Aardvark
1 Lifesize cut out of the Fozzer (naked)
1 Harrier
Several landmines

This will deal with the "infestation of fox" by ensuring that it cannot fit in the garden if nothing else.

Sorry mate, I feel somewhat responsible.
