#3 The Gloucester man - whom police said was "British and of Asian origin"

That's code for him being a Paki.

#4 Beat me to it, didja?

There's gotta be a first time for everything! Maybe too much Thanksgiving turkey made the difference between posting and post-post posting... ;)

Update:

Explosive material has been found at the house of an al-Qaida suspect who was arrested by police on Thursday morning in a major anti-terrorism raid. [A] Scotland Yard spokesman would not comment on reports that a suicide attack on a football ground had been foiled. A "relatively small amount" of explosives was found, which was removed and examined, he added.

A bomb-belt's worth of explosive's not going to be much good against GCHQ. More likely a football crowd, shopping centre, bus...

The suspect, who is a Briton of Asian descent, has been transferred from Gloucester to a police station in London where he will be questioned by detectives. He can be held for up to seven days in custody under the Terrorism Act.

#5 That's code for him being a Paki

Pakistani, Indian or Bangladeshi usually, "Asian" in the UK in this context is usually applied to Indian subcontinentals. "Paki" is a very offensive term in the UK, btw.

#6 Um, does that mean PakiWacki is out, too? How about Iwacki?

Man, I hate it when this happens.

Can we call then "Steve" as a Rantburg inside thing? Know what I mean? Know what I mean? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

That will clear up all of the confusion, I'm sure, and keep Fred out of the clutches of sinister forces. ;-)

#7 Fool! Taunting the Army of Steveâ¢ will cause us to bring a fat-wa upon you. At least 6,000 calories for this day alone! You shall become shiny and plump, and the Thai bar-girls shall no longer glance in your direction! Your money shall no longer buy the best beer! The burqas in your dreams shall all be XXL sized! Do not taunt the Army of Steveâ¢!
