Wonder where to go on hols next year. Maybe not Spain ::)

I don't know why we go to lots of countries, not just Spain. Turkey, for instance, has a terrible record for hard-line government trampling on human rights, but even they backed off when it hit the tourist trade.

I better shut my gob :-?

You need to practice your English - it's gob not gop.
Bloody Spanish, come over here, marry our women... :)

I've had one too many.
Pete, put your glasses on ;)

Does strike me as a bit odd. I can see the point in the argies moaning about the Falklands because of the oil that may lie within its territorial waters but if Gibraltar goes back to Spain then it ceases to have any value. Just smacks of Spain getting upset because we beat them in several wars and they now want back what they had to give up for losing!!!

I like your New hairstyle but I m sorry you still look like a twat :))
My English is ok , I had my phone in Spanish ;)

No comment !!

You beat fuck all , It is difficult to say who won the war, for although England beat the Armada, and later managed to land soldiers in Spain itself, it never managed to win any major victories over the Spanish, and Spain remained the strongest country in Europe, and was always a threat to England, and the Protestant religion.

Gibraltar has been British since 1704. Thats 4 minutes past 5pm.
Joking apart, I don't see its relevance in this day and age. Ok its a naval blockade to the Mediterranean.And they have Monkeys that steal your food.
I'd say give it back to Spain - are we that desperate to keep it :?

No Scimitar , we don't want it . Gibraltar should be British
Forever and ever .

You beat **** all
Firstly young man moderate your language, I accept English is not your native tongue but you should still know what passes for acceptable.
Secondly as far as I am aware winners don't tend to sign treaties giving things away?
-
you talking rubbish,
The treaty hasn't got a legal leg to stand on.
-
Fight! Fight! :P
-
I was going to say , "you taking shi@" but this is not acceptable
Britain gave away Menorca in the treaty
-
No Scimitar , we don't want it . Gibraltar should be British
Forever and ever .
So why is Spain being so bolshy?
And,as JR says, please don't swear so much ;)

On a lighter note, we've decided to go to Majorca next year, probably Palma area 8)

Es Espana no

Espana, JR, Scimitar ;)
Im sure JR was jesting about the language. That's the problem with forums. You don't know.
Never known JR have a problem with language. Saying that, yes, it's a little bit better natured on here nowadays.
Probably for the better. New members etc. Me personally, not pulling anyone down for swearing though.
I'm probably one of the worst >;
-

I guess you don't like people cheating the system in the uk , I guess you don't like people claiming benefits in the uk and living in others country'.
Spain has his reasons too, They are doing something about it.

Bloody Spanish, come over here, marry our women... :)
How many women do you want to marry then Mr Pete you have Mrs Pete

I thought the moderators MD are the ones that should tell off people in here , not other members.....

Well you got it wrong :P

Isn't Majorca British Territory? Who owns the bars and fast food places?

Mallorca is German , they get their towels down first.
British are The least wanted visitors around the world by a large margin
-
>> British are The least wanted visitors around the world by a large margin
Why do you say that?
-
Certainly not for their 'tipping' for service ;)
I think the British have for many years been welcomed as a favourite in other countries I would say the majority are quiet and well mannered when out, the Scottish are not always so welcome - reason for this is they have a reputation for being too loud and drunk. ^-^

When is Spain handing back Ceuta and Melilla?

Sorry old cruser but British Are the worst behaved and the rudest. They made no effort to speak the local language and they are tight-fisted tippers.

You're not wrong. I have several English friends who have lived in France for ten years or more. Though France is grateful to us as a nation, the French really dislike the behaviour of the English; their lack of respect, bad manners, ill behaved children. A friend says the French have a phrase when dealing with an unruly child, it translates as "Are your parents English...?" i.e. bad behaviour is a result of English parenting. Having watched English families in French supermarkets (especially the booze aisles) I'm not surprised.

Come on Big dave i was winding up people in here, but this place is full of nice people .

Es Espana no
NSS :P
Balearics Scimitar ;)

Mmmm, well now, had you been 'trapped' on the ship earlier this year which had an abundance of Europeans and Americans who all talk really loudly and just 'take over' you may see a different side.
Thay had no thought for anyone else and if one wanted a quiet read or conversation - tough!
As for the children, I wouldn't disagree with that but european children can be just as out of control as you say - it's the poor parenting.
Tipping - we have had that one and the British are not the best I'll grant you that.
Language - I would agree with that as well, we as a nation are rubbish at being bothered to speak the language of the country we are in and expect the people there - to be able to speak English - and many do which shows us up!
I think Espana loves us really - i just wish he/she would get rid of that bloody cow picture ;D ;)
ps
stop swearing Mr Fly by night ;)

I was merely pointing out the region where Majorca is :-X
Yes I know it's still Spain. That was the irony ;D

You may have been but in my experience it's true that we tend to leave our manners behind (if we had any) once we cross the English Channel.
