Bob,
As a European, I find this posting offensive. Besides, as this is a blog
for R22 owners, I strongly believe it would be nice to keep restrict
this nice communication tool to matters related to sailing and Rhodes22
technical tips and questions. There is no need to add further trash to
the irritating flow of spam on e-mails.

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 paralyzing 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 Neighbor" 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
canceled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation
level.
