I don't think there's enough OAP homes in Spain to intern them :D

Spain has more sense than to think about invading Gibraltar so there would not be a war.

erm there would be a replay of the battle of almanza 1707

o god sandy this is a replay of the most gormless ridiculous questions that AOG could possibly pose - but not involving sex or the dangers of untethered swinging breasts - blap! or that should be blap! blap!! shouldnt it ? 0r blap x 4 as a double tap
the most inconsistent question Nigh could pose about languages. - She loves languages ( and I quote) (and this must be true because she tells me so herself) but she cant abide foreign languages used on AB. ou - la! hou! hou! c'est la vie ! houp! [totally sad that]
[ so she doesnt really love languages but she says she does - no ! no! this is girlie talk - that is, it makes no sense at all. ]

rephrase
when oh when will the King of Spain realise that Gibraltar independence ( or "la reconquista de jebel el tariq" as they put it in Thpanith) will not depend on pendulous discussions or the swing vote of homeless Gibraltarians - we need to hit the target en masse. - (hey did you notice I sneaked in some arabic there? )
jebel el tariq = tariq's rock = gibraltar
but is a Spanish Right ever since - oo- 1496 or later

I mean that is really old innit ? older than the union of England and Scotland yeah ?

so the Thpanith can just march in to Gibraltar and geddit - yeah ?

Battle of Almanza 1707
in the war of the thanith thuccession
( Louis XIV: il n'y a plus que Pyrenees ) [ damn damn - Ni I am Truly Sorry ! oops my fault!] ( my french spanish arabic just sortta dribbles out) is a battle where a thpanith army led by a Brit ( duke of berwick - Jacobean rather gives the game away ) defeats a british army led by ... someone else
( the duke de medina y de alba y guttierrez - ramon y cajal y calzon e cinchon en las platas de ......) erm Marquis de Rouvigny in fact

this defeat led to the war of the spanish succession being fought outside Spain.

o god this is a question about internees
not sure about that one

I don't really understand why Spain wants it so much, by all accounts Gibraltar is a dump.

Couldn't we send an armada ?

I think one of the reasons for the formation of the Common Market, as it was then, was the desire to avoid the prospect of another European war.
The ink had hardly dried on Theresa May's letter when the clarions could be faintly heard in the far distant.
Could the Britexers have ever imagined the consequences of their vote?

All I know about Gibraltar is that during WWII my father drove a truck load of soldiers all the way from France to Gibraltar with a German convoy only ten minutes behind him. He managed to arrive safely and remained there for the duration.

Yes, I have been pining for a war for years.
I wonder if the yung uns will stay in bed again?

I have lovely memories from 1968 when I fell for the master-at-arms' daughter in Gibraltar. We were on the beach in a From Here To Eternity moment. It was probably nothing like that, but that is how I choose to remember it.

Bloody hypocritical on the Paellas.....what about the city states that they have owned on the other side of the straits, what should be Moroccan territory, i.e. the city colonies of Ceuta and Melilla? Ceuta, they have had since the mid 17th Century.

Somebody in the FO better tell them this, or their puppet King or Brussels and tell them to FO or get in line.

What about the Canaries too?

Garaman - I hope you didn't get your Rocks off.

If it's War, we could send all our messages in Peterese.

DTCwordfan

and Sqad interned? AB would collapse.
