Heightened European threat level

The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and haveraised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though,security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Little Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Little 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.
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.") This 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 its 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 Poland" 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.

I hope that you are "kidding" with that post.
My wife has been in Tanzania / Kenya since Friday 09/08/06 and is not due back in the states until 09/24/06 having to fly through amsterdam and London to return.

Has the terror level actually increased?

I hope you're kidding with your post. I don't how you couldn't recognize the humor in it.

Tommy,

Do not worry, the threat level is still the highest it has ever been, but hasn't increased in the last month.

Take care

James
