The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."

Soon, though, security 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 the
British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great
fire of 1666

I think I might have posted that. Re the threat, here is the rest of the French statement followed by the Italians.

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
paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of
alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and
Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain:
"Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."




Who have we offended now !!!!

Yeah, probably it was posted by you. It IS a repost, but it fitted perfectly on this thread.

Do you really think we offended someone?

Yeah. Only about 50,000,000 French and Italian nationals.

I'm glad I didn't post the German statement.
