Given that the trainer/manager is the man who gets sacked if they
don't win outright, I think he should get the trophy when they
do win.

Too true, but only if he doesn't expect GBP5,000,000 when his contract
is terminated for not living up to expectations.

And Morocco hardly wants to draw international attention to its illegal
and genocidal occupation of the Western Sahara - which the UK has given
its tacit consent to ever since the invasion. That's a situation
vastly worse than anything the most ravingly jingoistic Brit or Spaniard
could accuse each other of over Gibraltar or Ceuta/Melilla.

I wouldn't describe much of it as particularly British.

It's what's called international elsewhere in Europe.

There are one or two Belgian beers I'd like to be able to get in the UK, but
otherwise .........

Douglas Hurd wasnt a Moroccan government spokesman

But Morocco has rocked the boat

Which presumably is why the Moroccan Prime Minister
Abderraman Yusufi said: "The current status cannot last".

Let's come back to those island swaps. We could do with some German bit in
the Mediterranean. Can we have Gibraltar for, say, the Rhineland? We don't
really need it that much.

They were? I should think the "Berliner Ring" autobahn is the prototype for
all of the above.

Bollocks, they lives in Gibraltar. Otherwise why was the place

Aurora.

insurance
intermediaries and insurance managers to comply with the anti-money
