John Cleese at his brilliant best........

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2016 EUROPE

From JOHN CLEESE

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria 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-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 "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 paralysing 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 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 right, 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 last final escalation level.

Regards,

John Cleese ,

British writer, actor and tall person

And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Meanwhile in New Zealand the Government is consulting with opposition parties and various iwi to hopefully find a consensus on an appropriate response to the actions of Middle Eastern indigenous peoples against their Tyrannical Masters. This is expected to take some decades.

Filming a movie outside our house as I type. Based on the "Black Widow" case from Christchurch about five years ago. Where the mother tried to blame her son for her murdering her husband. it is quite impressive watching them setting up a scene for all of 3 to 5 seconds of film. Was chatting to some involved in it and it is bloody fascinating stuff. Well it is to me anyway.

Huge number of fighters 

Many had healed wounds so suggesting professional soldiers in a professional army.

They came from all over the place.

Was this the first time mankind got into regular organized combat in Europe?

Sadly, I think the Belgians will have found a few more levels now. Funny piece though.

Netflix series "F is for Family".

King of the Hill meets Family Guy, in an authentic 1973 setting. 

The gags nodding towards those times are just hilarious. 

"This is the largest and heaviest tv we have, 33 inches, and COLOUR!"

"What? Why the f*ck would you want to get a job? You sell plast-o-ware on Wednesday nights, isn't that enough???"

Definitely worth a watch. Surprisingly well-known actors voice a few of the roles too.
