For a few months now, there’s been a lot of little ants invading my bathroom. Mostly I realised this because they’ve been accumulating, dead, all over the floor. More recently, I also noticed live ones wandering around the basin. Even more recently, in the last week or two, they’ve invade my bedroom as well –… Read more
Also, F1 had already read the book(s) upon which ‘I Am Legend’ is based (called, creatively, ‘I Am Legend’, I believe), so he knew more or less what the deal was.
