The Augusta Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 A quite brilliant post, Julius! I love it - and it gave me a real boost today, after I went helter skelter down my icy garden path in a fair imitation of a slalom skier. I am nursing a sore coccyx! The British are also feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephele Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I loved that the first time I read it in e-mail. The original author left out my New York City though (which I count as a nation unto itself): New Yorkers took a break from arguing over what to build on Ground Zero when it was announced that the city's terror alert level had been elevated from "WTF?" to "Seriously Cranky". Emergency Starbucks have been added as a protective measure against a collapse of the city's infrastructure due to New Yorkers not getting their cups of cawfee. If conditions persist, the alert may even rise to the catastrophic, last resort level of "Make Eye Contact". -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Can I add a serious note to this fun thread? After reading all the intense jibes on the Rome and USA thread, isn't it good that we can add a corrective like this, whereby we can all laugh at ourselves? It used to be what Brits and Americans were famous for. Let us revive it! And now, I shall climb down off my soapbox and weep tears of joy over all my brethren from both sides of the Atlantic, across Europe and beyond, and even on the furthest reaches of Jupiter. You know - I am not a Christian or any other sort of god-botherer - but some of what that dude said made sense..... Instead of highlighting our differences, why not rejoice in our similarites?

Northern Neil Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Lets leave the Germans out of this - their contribution to the war on terror has been profound. When we went into Afghanistan, the Luftwaffe flew their first sorties outside Germany for 60 years. Its just a shame they were half way to Coventry before they realised they needed to turn round!
