I am....  :(

It doesnt like the address, even when copied and pasted. Which is odd, because there aren't any surf controls or anything. Obviously there's a security rule somehwere which isn't happy...

As many are aware, the French government recently

announced a raise in its terror alert level from "Run"

to "Hide". The normal level is "General Arrogance",

and 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 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 British are also 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 re-categorised from

"Tiresome" to "Bloody Nuisance".  The last time the

British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was

during the Great Fire of 1666.
