    Spain's reputation as an honest, truthful and well meaning nation is taking a battering.

    @1 Agreed, seems like they caught the lying disease during their brief affair with the Argentine foreign ministry. Really should be more selective with the company they keep.

    lmao, they “Spain” are clearly stupid, Gibraltar gets its own International football team, enters into EU membership & has its own government, yet Spain thinks they are getting closer to a hand over, ugh no hope for them I fear!!! Gibraltar is getting further and further away from ever being part of Spain, and they can't see it haha

    Duped? Joke. Spain couldn't “dupe” the Flowerpot Men. But the best option is to kick its nuts so hard that one lands in Morocco, one in Portugal and one in France! One too many? Who likes chopped sausage?

    I wonder where Garcia-Margallo was told to put his toothpaste tube?

    No way the spicks have ever had a good reputation.

    I don't there is any need to use derogatory terms like 'spicks'. It is what I expect from Conq or Captain Poppy and not you.

    Spain and Argentina has and always will have one thing in common,

    The ability to believe that if they lie to everyone,
    Then someone, somewhere will believe its true.

    After all,
    When did they ever tell the truth ??
    Considering they dont know what the truth is..

    To everyone I have managed to offend by the use of a word it turns out I cannot even spell correctly: DOH!

    Please accept my unreserved apology.

    I am so uninformed with this term (which I heard decades ago and thought it related to “Spanish idiots”) that I have no defence at all.

    Sorry.

    That's alright, I'd prefer you heard it from me than others. And I didn't want your usual contributions to be degraded. There's a reason I usually skip (a skip that skips LOL) reading Conq's posts. Even if he has something worthwhile to add, I don't wade through the bile to find it any longer.

    It is actually not fair to blame Spain and Argentina.

    The problem is that every time their governments are in dire straits, they start screaming about Gibraltar resp. Falkland Islands. Blame the misery on these corrupt clowns.

    The very few times my Argentine friends in Mendoza mention the island dispute they just shake their heads, say horrible things about their government's priorities, and several of them call the islands “The Falkland Islands”.

    “t under the Tripartite Forum Gibraltar had had its “own juridical personality” equal to UK’s,”

    Err yes, of course they do if they live, were born there and consider themselves Gibraltarians.

    Not really a controversial concept.
