    I had sausage, chips and mushy peas from the chippy last night. Tonight it's roast beef and homemade Yorkshire puds

    Gibraltar - Originally under moorish control for 700 years, the Spaniards had it for 300 years before the Brits captured it and it was signed over in Treaty of Utrecht 1713. Designated a crown colony by the UN. Spain said it was taken by conquest and claim ownership of the island and the territorial waters surrounding it. The treaty of utrecht mentions nothing about reclaiming land or territorial waters.

    Ceuta - Under muslin rule for hundreds upon hundreds of years, the Portugese captured it and when Portugal and Spain went to war with each other Ceuta was ceded to Spain. When Morocco was given independance in the 50s Ceuta was one of the areas kept by the Spanish. The Moroccan government dispute this and claim that it is their land.

    See the similarities?

    I don't get these references.

    When we went to Spain in May, the ****s made us pay a tourism tax to stay in Catalonia. But hang on, I thought we had freedom of movement due to being a member of the EU? What a bunch of thieving ****ing putas <grr>

    I reckon they are trying to deflect news from the mess that they are in. Wouldn't be the first time <Falklands springs to mind>

    The UK govt should levy a £500 tax on any Brit that wants to visit Spain.

    I thought they were "spics". Am getting my casual racism all mixed up now. I feel as thick as paddy. #shame

    His "My Boomerang Won't Come Back" is considered a classic comedy song but, personally, I thought "Mr Custer" was superior.

    All vegetarians and vegans are on perma-beel because they are all secretly desperate to have a mouthful of meat. Especially ST.

    I am unaware of such a ditty by the venerable Mr Drake. I think you may be thinking of someone else. <ok>
