UK threat level raised to critical

[Squeak the Rat]

What I find damn stupid is that according to the new regime, you can't even take a book with you or crayons and a colouring book for the kids. Now the fact that certain airlines (yes, I'm looking at you Air NZ) only show 1 frickin movie per long haul and the rest of the "entertainment" is 5 year old episodes of Frasier, how will they stop people from going stir crazy. All airlines better upgrade to personal video and Nintendo in cattle class before I'd fly the thing that far.

Next stop will be padlocked seat belts and you'll need to buzz a stewie to let you loose to go to the toilet.

I'd be right pissed if my inflight movie thing malfunctioned [as per last flight with singapore] and I didn't have a book.

You don't get many muslims going around committing adultry in the name of Allah do you?

Do muslim women yell "Oooh Allaaah, Allaaah, Alllah!" when you tickle them just right?

Unfortunately crayons would be a perfect disguise for C4 plastique explosive.

I think the stronger countries has been taking advantage of their on weight.
It's time for the smaller countries to show their power...

And what is the best way for a small country to show it?!?

By making the stronger counties tremble in their boots.. Even if it destroys the small country to...

All is fair in love and war... You always get what is coming to you!!!

Good luck USA,UK,AUZ!!!

Thanks - but were not exactly trembling in our boots you little cock fag.

This does make me (living in London) laugh You must lack a lot of knowledge of whats going on around the world as in London we get on with things and don't give a flying F00K what some mad wankers think!

What I don't understand is all the hypocrisy.

The Yanks say "God is on our side"
The Israelis say "Jehovah" is on our side
The Islamic Terrorists say "Allah is on our side"

er.....scuse me but the Bible, The Koran and the Torah all say "Thou shalt not kill" (coz they're all the same book!)

The Bible also says Thou shall not stick thy willy into thy little boys bottom but it hasn't stopped the masses.

Big McJim, it's easy. Religion = hypocrisy. Religion was born from power and money. Nothing has changed. The "god" was made up as a decoy.

And by the title of this thread, I thought the UK had run outta beer.

Here's a good one. A few months ago, we went to Raro for a family holiday (highly recommmended as a destination too). We got to the airport for a 7am flight, boarded and then the fog came down. We were on the tarmac at the gate for 3 hours and during that time we:

a) had no air con as the engines weren't turning
b) did convince the stewies to open the front door only for ventilation but they would not open the rear
c) convinced the stewies to run a movie 90 minutes in (there was only that music video they show with the bubbling brook up till then) which finished before we took off
d) were served a bread roll with jam and water only as they couldnt open the bar or serve hot drinks until they were airborne

The kicker is that after we got ariborne for the 5 hour flight, they had alrewady shown the 1 movie the were allowed to, so they showed a few comedy shows and that was pretty much it.

Dumbasses didn't have a second movie?? What's with that?

Dover for president?

You even look the part...

Their supplies have been abundant for the last 4.5 years.

Funny that.

That's the problem though, the ragheads can't afford the firepower necessary to go one on one with the big boys, so instead they blow up the big boys wife and little kids.

I think you're missing the point. This isn't about the good old-fashioned days of countries going toe-to-toe over territory or points of principle. Those geo-political conflicts are soooo last millenium. This is largely about a bunch of folk from wherever rallying around a cause. What is that "cause"? That too is hard to tell, because we look at our world from the comfort of a (comparatively) affluent, western middle-class perspective and wonder why, because we "have it all" other people on this planet don't aspire to our lifestyles and beliefs. But I suspect that there is a significant bunch of folk out there who are a bit pissed off with western countries and businesses meddling in their affairs, telling them what to think and what to "want". They just want us to fuck off and leave them alone but struggle to make themselves heard through the channels we traditionally listen to, so they are looking for innovative ways to get our attention. I have a measure of sympathy for them and their views.

This is why invading Afganistan and Iraq, or bombing the bejeezus out of Lebanon is futile. It may be what western voters in large "democracies" want but it isn't going to solve the "problem".

True they don't like Westerners meddling, however their bigger goal is to make the world an extemist form of Islam. This is why they bomb their own for using ice, as they deem ice to be unislamic for example. Even if we had nothing to do with the Middle East and Westerner had never set foot in the place, the current situation would still arise. They hate us, simple and believe that a perverted form of Allah has told them to fuck the place.

Thats cos you Laaahndaners have already dealt with 30 years of this shit with the IRA and PIRA.

[Lou Girardin]

So you are suspecting that this is a set-up Lou? "Rent-a-Terrorist" must be doing a roaring trade whenever the politicians phone up and book them just because some election is on the horizon...

Tui moment.

Not a set up. But a little exaggeration and media manipulation works wonders.
Remember the 'terrorist they shot in the tube?
Remember how the truth came out?
