Don't we still OWN them? So any decent players would be picked for England?

I think Jeff Wood is their manager.

I saw the stadium last year, like a few in that part of the world is reminded me of Withdean.

Gibralta is one of the wierdest places I've been.

It isn't just like England, it IS England, down to the litter bins and the corner shops selling fags and papers.

Like a boring town centre, imagine Swindon on a sunny day.

I felt a little embaressed by the place to be honest, you walk out of Spain into a utopian cloned high street.

I got a flight back from there and thought I'd the day walking around. I was like the holiday had ended a day early.

it's a second home to any sea-going jack tar. must of stopped off there at least 40 times in my career. loads of pubs but the local coppers are arseholes (well they were whenever i went ashore there ).

That's cos you were nothing but a trouble maker Foxy.

My tip would be a few JC's in the 3 Owls, cheapest in Gib.

They got my vote; come on you Rock Apes!

Didn't John Lennon marry Yoko Ono on Gibraltar?

Without wishing to hijack this thread I'm doing fine mate. Back to SEA on the 17th. Christmas duty is a bit better on a cruise liner than on the grey funnel though.

What are the ingrediants of a JC anyway? I think it's something like Gin, Vodka, Bitter Lemon & something else. Only ever drank them in Gib', very nice though.

Imagine a Gib v England match? At least there's enough pubs to cope. They've coped with the RN for enough years!

is the runway really that lumpy?

the other ingredient was (spelling) angostaras bitter (only a few drops as it is quite poisonous in vast amounts). Gib v England would be great. most of the fans would probably get lost and end up with 'Charles' from the 'hole in the wall'
