that's so last year :

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings; the security level has just been raised from "miffed" to "peeved". Soon though, the levels may be raised yet again to "irritated" or even "a bit cross".

Londoners have not been a "bit cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from "tiresome" to "a bloody nuisance." The last time a "bloody nuisance" warning level was issued was during the great fire in 1666.

Be aware that the French government announced yesterday that it has raised
its terror alert level from RUN to HIDE. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.

The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing their military capability.

It's not only the French that are on a heightened level of alert, the Italians have increased their alert level from "shout loudly and excitedly" to "elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain, "ineffective combat operations" and "change sides".

The Germans also increased their alert state from "disdainful arrogance" to "dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher levels, "invade a neighbour" and "lose".

Seeing this reaction in continental Europe the Americans have gone from "isolationism" to "find another oil-rich nation in the middle east ripe for regime change". Their remaining higher alert states are "attack the world"
and "beg the British for help".

Finally here in GB we've gone from "pretend nothing's happening" to "make another cup of tea". Our higher levels are "remain resolutely cheerful" and "win".

The French are consistant I will give them that. Nice of them to really step up to the plate and offer a grand total of 200 peacekeepers.

On the contrary, it was at least somewhat entertaining entertaining as opposed to the drivel and country bashing supplied by beetle. But that little situation was solved.
