BBC Announcement .... By John Cleese

03-07-2011, 02:46 AM

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.

WW1 military dead : French : 1 397 800 - 4.29% of population
UK : 885 138 - 2.19% of population

WW2 mlitary dead : French : 216 600 - 1.36% of population
UK : 383 600 - 0.94% of population

I'm fond of John Cleese, love his humour but one can sometimes pick up a stereotype and make use of it without inquiring where it's been. I got the figures from Wikipedia.

Welcome to Cigar Asylum. It would be great if you could please head over to the the "New Inmates Processing Area" and tell us something about yourself, how long you have been enjoying cigars, what cigars marques you enjoy and so on.

Assuming, of course that he's here because of cigars or tobacco products!

True, and that was taken into consideration when I posted.
