Alert status update...


Some Terror Alert Status definitions you should be aware of, especially with regard to our friends across the water.

The British
The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats in Islamabad 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'.

Brits 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.

The French
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 paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy
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'.

Germany
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'.

Belgium
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.

The Spanish
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.
These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. (I love that one......... awsome rotfl)

Americans
Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies, just in case.

Australia
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from 'No worries' to 'She'll be right, mate'.
Three more escalation levels remain, 'Crikey!', 'I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend' and 'The barbie is cancelled'.

There has not yet been a situation that has warranted the use of the final escalation level.
