The UK terror threat level is being reduced from "severe" to "substantial", the home secretary has announced.

The new alert level means the risk of a terrorist attack is considered to be a "strong possibility" and "might well occur without further warning"

So that's good then, as long as it can occur anytime without warning, that's absolutely fine.

I think an arbitrary system like the DoHS's colour-coded one, or maybe something like Greek Gods would be desirable, without all this tiresome explication.

How much better if today's announcement was Threat Level reduced from Hermes to Demeter and just left at that.

[Ted Max]

Or West Indian fast bowlers.

Or Death Metal band names.

Or incarnations of AFN.

[mockney piers]

In the light of recent events in Poshandbeckistan the threat level has been raised to sagatelsagouni.

[david_carnell]

Or combinations of the three.

"The threat level was today reduced from Curtly Ambrose to Anvil. We expect Tomas Stillington 3rd by next month."

[HonaloochieB]

DC, Anvil weren't Death Metal, that just makes a nonsense of the whole thing.

[Brendan]

Aren't Death Metal.

[Brendan]

So we've been reduced from Cannibal Corpse to Deicide then.

There could be a "Forum Threat Level" posted at the top of the screen to identify how many weirdos are hanging around at the present time.

The threat levels could be named after weirdos from the past.

Nuclear: Big Bad Wolf

Red: MikeCG

Amber: Tony London Suburbs

Yellow: SteveT

Green: Louisa

It's like a DefCon for the strange.

Alert - The forum would like to draw your attention to today's threat level which is STEVE T. Please remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, mild racism and misogyny to a member of forum staff. Your assistance is appreciated

Would Zombie Plague be above Nuclear, if so can I nominate AllForNun for that one?

[Brendan]

Zombies aren?t actually that dangerous but they are responsible for puce.

[Annette Curtain]

No no...

We are a subjects aren't we.

So, we should use the succession scale.

The highest level would be "An Elizabeth the II"

The lowest would be a "Princess Anne"

It makes sense you know.

Is that another death metal band?

[mockney piers]

What a great list. All it would take would be a tragic turn of events on It's a Royal Knockout Mk II and we've some peripatetic central european aristo, who lost their country about the time they lost uncle Ferdy in Sarajevo, ascending to the throne.

I know, it's fab.

I also love the fact that conversion/marriage to Catholicism knocks you clean off the list.

Cor, they 'narf hold a grudge that lot.
