Terror Alert


Why the fudge is there a bl00dy terror alert at the bottom of the page?

JDK is keeping us abreast of the situation at hand, it seems.

A breast, yes.


Dunno, really.  I found a bit of html on the MI5 website and thought it was cool.  It's not really though, is it?

Just seems like pointless panic-mongery to me.  Not from you Daz, from the creators of the site.

It does seem a little like overkill - having said that I hadnt spotted it...


 


But no post from Hengle is correct without someone using the word Flange - so here we go...


 


Flange...

Well, if it makes you feel less panicky, it seem that 'severe' actually means 'normal'.  I've never seen it different - except for that day with the raids, when it was 'critical'.  You'd have thought that with less terrorists on the streets, that would make the alert level go down, not up!  D'oh!

That's sort of my point though, how can "severe" be normal?  It's severe ... by definition.


If severe = normal, and critial = high ... what's actual threat?  "You're all gonna die!!!"?


Sorry if this is all a bit over serious, but panic mongering is the very worst kind of spin in my opinion, and the kind that our governments on boths sides of the atlantic seem to be persuing.

OK, so I realise this is a highly contraversial opinion in the current climate, but do we really need to be worrying about the terror threat?
I don't mean we should just bury our heads in the sand & hope it goes away, I did report an abandoned bag in Euston a couple of weeks ago, I just refuse to get scared by the whole thing.  Maybe it comes from growing up at a time of regular IRA bombings?

I think Our Shaz has hit on the perfect solution there.  The goverment should invest in 65 million buckets of good quality sand - one for each person in the UK.


No only can we bury our heads in it when things start to go badly, but it has a nice exfoliating action that will keep our skin feeling soft and young!


 


Oh yeah... and you're right about the other thing too, Shaz.  We're British.  Stiff upper lip and all that!

I look at it this way.. if something's gonna happen, and I'm gonna get blown to bits or wahtever.. there's really not much I can do about it. So I just live my life and go about my business.

Sand in your ears is really annoying.

So is pee:

There's nothing wrong with pulling the plug on a season and planning for next year, but don't pee in everyone's ears and tell them it's raining.



Got that right!!

Yeah.  Fair point.  Maybe we could use talcum powder instead.  It has the benefit of smelling nice and looking a bit like a class A substance.

Not while it's still a talking point.


It took you all a week to point it out...

It's not a flange.  It's clearly a flibbet.  No nee-eer to you, too.  So's your face.

You shouldnt have a go at Hengle about his face - it isnt his fault and besides his Mum loves him... though she is a Nurse and therefore has seen some pretty bad stuff...

I've got nothing to add to this - I just wanna put it back at the top of the board because it angers Hengle...
