I'm working on a project. I can't do just one thing at a time :D

I should try and translate your lyrics for you ...

Goodnight. Sleep well.

Is it going to be somehow left to Cyprus to decide what to do with Gibraltar then? Only they seem unable to come to a decision about what to do with Cyprus without getting involved in any other country.

Travel Agents usually lump Cyprus & Malta together in their brochures. Is there some connection that has escaped me?

Yes they are both Sovereign, Mediterranean Islands; not far from each other.

Any more stupid questions, Gassy?

People who say it should be handed over to Spain should remember that Spain has territories on the other side of the Med, in North Africa, which it is showing no signs of `handing back`. Do we really want any one country to be able, technically, to control the entrance to the Med this way ?


Damn Right, Margo! All the countries in the Med should be thankful to Gibraltar for being in British Hands so as to keep the straits open!

Veering slightly off-thread, but on a similar subject, what do we make of the latest rumblings coming from Argentina and the Falklands?
As I've called them the Falklands, I've tipped my hand a little.

No surprises there, then! :roll:

Are there any uncontested associations to which you lean?
