The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian 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.
The Russians have been re-categorised 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 “*** Off” to “Let’s Get the ***.”
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. They have also started wearing their reversible coats.

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 Neighbour” 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.

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.

Australia meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

the English are getting hysterical on chat sites. The Scots are retaining their pawky sense of humour about it.

Other websites are avaiable, of course.
TTT; You do seem to despise and even hate our European neighbours. I suppose it's just 'banter'?
Meanwhile a good friend of ours and her son in Kyiv are off to join the war tomorrow.
Homeland resistance.
A sobering thought
^ Indeed.
Terrible time for you Ich.
So many sobering and worrying thoughts today, Ich. I hope for their safety...x
The post from TTT was first aired in 2011 supposedlycomposed by John Cleese and circulated widely by Clive Maxfield ... no one had an attack of the contrived vapours back then though. Mind how you go.
“ anneasquith Terrible time for you Ich”

Thank you Anne but I’m alright jack.
Lucky but helpless to help
Have seen similar before. Very apt, ttt..
SOHF from Atheist again I see.

Yes, I've seen it before Togo. the thing with the British is we have the ability to laugh in the face of adversity. Something that cant be seen by those that hate our way of life,
youngmafbog; would you be polite enough to explain what SOHF means?
sense of humor failure?
Sense of humour failure
Sense of humour failure? From AB at least, while younger generations are often described as "snowflakes", I am glad that British humour seems to be on the way back and people can tell what is meant adlnd what is a joke now.
Which he says you don’t have, Atheist but he has though in all my years hear I’ve not seen it.
“Here”
SOFH failure; a bit like branding gypsies as fair game for Nazi death camps?
No, that's a crowbar moment.
Atheist, if you took that as a serious suggestion, then, yes x
"the thing with the British is we have the ability to laugh in the face of adversity."

How does our adversity compare to those in Ukraine?
