This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

Will Self.
Aside from the volume of evidence from his numerous TV appearances, I remember one time hearing him going on at great length, about a consignment of plastic Formicidae that he was having shipped into the country.

Apparently the shipping container in which they were being transported suffered a knock, resulting in the compressed gas units built into each of these simulacra discharging and rendering the previously flaccid entities into fully-engorged, giant sized replicas of the real thing.

Inflated Self-import Ants? You tell me.

Well someone had to.
...and I also seem to have clicked "I like this" to your response.

Good work, though, while understandable, the "Formicidae" is rather cumbersome.
But good marks for effort - I give this pun a seven.

I shall strive to better myself.
TBH it's very rare these days that I post in QOTW, but I'm struggling with some really monotonous writing work at the moment, so the slightest excuse for distraction is profoundly welcome.

Will Self was a perfectly valid entry,
so there was no need for the laboured pun. And so early in the week, too.
