New Terror Threat Announcements

New Terror Threat Announcements


The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised 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 nearly 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 in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.


The Scots have 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 paralyzing the country's military capability.


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 have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."


Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .


It's a joke, no offense intended...

Those frenchies lost more more men in a single day in WW1 than the US lost in Vietnam. The following day, again.

Today they concentrate on non-esentials such as food, energy, education, and healthcare.

Your info is not up to date....
As a belgian I am very happy to announce that NATO is not pulling out of Brussels and a new NATO headquarters is being constructed as we speak.
Returning to my hammock and coctails...
(First part is in green because to be honest, I could not care less....)


Future new Nato HQ (still under construction), across the street from the old HQ

Where is the moat?

I did some design work on a smaller scale version of something like that (12 years ago), we had a moat and a certain blast distance from the drives.

Doesn't seem like the mainstream media is covering this. Scroll down to the video and watch the guys face.
