*New Year brings rise in Security Alert State*
> > Recent terrorist threats have caused the English to raise their > security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security > levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." > The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when > tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from > "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the English issued a > "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the > Spanish Armada. > > The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get > the Bastards". They don't have any other levels.. This is the reason > they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last > 300 years. > > 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 "Collaborate" and "Surrender.." The rise was precipitated by > a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively > paralysing the country's military capability. > > It's not only the French who 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." > > The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful > Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs."

Due to continuing defence cutbacks (the air force being a > squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some > toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more > level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue > us". > > Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" > to "She'll be all right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: > "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and > "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use > of the final escalation level. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Yay, Scots! ![]() I'm sure the overly-polite English would like to refute the assesment of their terror-threat levels, but they are indubitably concerned about causing a stir. If only the Empire could return to the glory days when any son of a king could be a king......when girls were girls and boys were women and other nations didn't have boats ![]()

Hello,
> The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful > Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also > have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose". Us, lose ? Never ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I especially liked the NZ and Australian levels, and certainly the scots ![]() Greetings, Catfish P.S. But really, when i first heard of Bush's introduced "alert" levels in the US i imagined the Star trek audio alert sirens going off in all US cities lol. "National alert level" ![]() |
