The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings 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 recategorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.Also, 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 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." 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." Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday, as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

MAPAD, my comment about London versus NY was how phelgematic we are. And the joke about the cuppa tea was with reference to the following joke which was circulated hugely. Relax mate, we are on the same side. Check out my other writings! :) cheers bd

Chandra #5, I am afraid i am very disappointed with David, he was supposed to come up with what i would call as the compassionate conservatism but he turned into a bloody tree hugger conservative. Very lightweight, no wonder Gordon Brown walks all over him. He has a major credibility and plausibility issue. All show and no action.

Yes, Chandra, I'm paranoid. That's probably what you would have said to the Jews in 1930's germany isn't it? You probably would have accused the Jews of being insecure and displaying hatred for Nazi's too wouldn't you? Beslan, Madrid, Mumbai, London 7/7, Bali, 9/11, London/Glasgow, etc. etc. I'm just being paranoid right! :)

MAPAD Accusing BD of being a junky is nothing less than funny. It seems you suffer from a very high degree of paranoia. Please read other posts by BD before jumping to conclusions. If you cannot understand sarcasm, nobody can help you. You sound very insecure, no wonder you display so much hatred for muslims. rgds

"Remember the case where the overwhelming reaction after the London bombings was, "we are a bit inconvenienced but nothing that a cuppa tea wouldn't resolve", while see how NY reacted after 9/11? They went to war, while we drank some tea!" Oh yes, we know the inference here...America is violent and aggressive! America are just war mongers who should have had a cup of tea in response to 9/11. Can't resist a bit of America bashing can you? You America Haters are like junkies. The difference between America and the UK right now is that America doesn't surrender to Fascism and terrorism. Maybe the UK should have had a cup of tea instead of standing up to Hitler? Maybe you just think we should let the terrorists and their supporters win because it's our fault for upsetting them in the first place? right? Didn't the Allies impose the unfair Versaille Treaty on Germany? Surely the Allies were responsible for German anger? Surely the UK had no moral right to go to war with Germany having been the cause of it in the first place? Also, not ALL German citizens were actually committing violence in the name of Nazism so it was really unfair of the UK to fight a war against a whole country just because of the actions of a few members of that country! The vast majority of German never commited a violent act! As for America's war with Islam, you actually you all have it the wrong way round. America is the victim in all of this. America is unfairly demonized by the Islamic world who unfairly criticize its foreign policy so it really has no choice, but to go to war. Surely, the liberal in you can see America's POV? Why don't you look inside yourselves and see how your attitudes have caused America's rage?

BD Thats true. BTW do you expect a Cameroon recovery before the next election? He is increasingly looking and sounding like a labor me-too. rgds

of course not, Chandra, why would politicians ever change anything!, that's not part of the job description! :) The very idea, to expect London Mayors to make a difference! cheers bd

BD Like everything else, nothing is likely to change irrespective of who wins. Property prices will continue to go up and Trains will be late and crowded.

beady: does eccentricity flow up or down? or is it the english weather? the royalty has its share of eccentrics and that is what prompts this somewhat serious query sans sodium
