October Pt1

Unpublished. Social services and the Minister under a lot of flak these days. So I thought a different kind of suggestion box quite useful for the public.
Published. Post Cordoba and Snr Moratinos made a fleeting visit to La Linea... this is my belief as to why he came.
Unpublished. Apparently newspapers have been reporting the co-operation between Spain and Morocco is much better than between Gibraltar and Spain... no kidding? Not quite the kind of co-operation they meant.
More Cordoba, unpublished of course, the new terminal will mean a red and green channel and a channel for entry into Spain which as 'shengen' won't be quite the same??? Yeah that's what I thought so how about a red, yellow, red channel?
Good old RGP decided to crackdown on noisy motorcycles. Of course it won't be the noisy ones you expect as usual from the RGP it'll be the one's they can pick without causing trouble amongst the family, or the rich, or the blah blah.

September 2006

Rumours are rife the Japanese have 'squeezed' several tonnes of tuna through Gibraltar and not included it on their global quota? Allegedly. This was unpublished.
The apes (monkeys) on the Rock are biting more frequently. Depending on who you speak to it is either the tourists fault for feeding them. (for tourist read taxi drivers cough cough). Perhaps it is the fault of the government there is another line that believes the apes aren't fed properly by the people employed to look after them so they look for more food from the tourists. Whatever the issue they bite because they want something and logically if they have enough food why fight for more? Unpublished.
Published. The discovery this summer that Gibraltar was perhaps one of the last places we find evidence of Neanderthal Man before he became extinct gave rise to this one around the time of National Day.
The talks are now in the public forum but this unpublished attempt to recreate the atmosphere in Cordoba I believe is accurate depending on your view of politicians.
