Google Bot 3,936 Posted July 16 I don't know why but 'Ends.' made me laugh at the end of that statement. I think it's because it sounds like an Essex term for ending a letter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Mustard 106 Posted July 16 I'm not surprised Gibraltar have complained! Political chanting by Spanish players whilst the eyes of the world are watching represents an opportunist cheap shot to me. I have family living & working on the Rock; after 38 years there, my Norwich-born brother & his family are now Gibraltarian citizens & I get to hear a fair bit about the border shenanigans. Thankfully, he's pretty laid-back about it all. Unlike some of the Spanish folk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite bit about the Argentinians who claim the Falklands should be given to them is the conversation always goes along the lines of 'The Falklands is ours! It belongs to Argentina the people deserve to be free!' 'But didn't the people living on the island get given a vote if they wanted to be British or be controlled by Argentina and 99 percent of them voted to remain British?' '... Well Um..uh.. You illegaly imported brits to vote for you! And no I won't expand or explain this clearly nonsense claim any further!'

The Argentinian claim on the Falklands stems from a Spanish king drawing a line on a map and saying 'stuff that side of the line is mine'. Then they say it's justice fighting against colonialism. Freaks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But anyways always going to be British despite the Argentine claim that its attached to the by a Contonental Shelf. If Self determination was based on Physical Geography then the Channel Islands had better start driving on the right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
