Talk:Gibraltar/Archive 2

message: I the comment "Very loud scooters and motorbikes are popular and there is a good modern bus service which hardly fits around the corners." at least refect the views of someone who has at been 
here - At one point the way the #3 bus gets round a 90 degree corner is a small miracle, albeit repeated every 15mins.  Although local motorbikes are subject to noise emission limits, those from a nearby country do not seem to be. A note to watch out for bikes overtaking from all angles might be appropriate.--Gibnews 19:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Extract from the ECHR judgement
AS TO THE FACTS 
12. The facts set out below, established by the Commission in its report of 4 March 1994 (see paragraphs 132 and 142 below), are drawn mainly from the transcript of evidence given at the Gibraltar inquest (see paragraph 103 below). 
I. Particular circumstances of the case 
13. Before 4 March 1988, and probably from at least the beginning of the year, the United Kingdom, Spanish and Gibraltar authorities were aware that the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army - "IRA") were planning a terrorist attack on Gibraltar.

replies: text: NB: Before I get the finger pointed at me for racism or else, I need to clarify "More popeist than the Pope" is a direct translation of "Más papista que el Papa", a popular Andalusian saying, and it is NOT related in any case with Northern Ireland talk. And by the way, I am RC... --Asterion talk to me 10:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats certainly the way I understood it.  The IRA were an equal opportunity terrorist, the bomb would have destroyed a middle School where 95% of the children were RC and a Jewish retirement home, and the bank where I was installing a Reuters terminal on the appointed morning.--Gibnews 16:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to worry, it wasn't addressed to you. I just know how some people like to dig out dirt during Requests for Adminships, so I would rather explain this now than in four or five months time. Cheers, --Asterion talk to me 23:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You can refer to the 'banda terrorista ETA' however its unwise to blame them for everything.  However I think there were a lot of other reasons for the change of Government.  The PP was not so P--Gibnews 23:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Agree. I do not usually vote for Central Government elections anyway, and certainly not for PP. Regards and good night, --Asterion talk to me 00:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: What are the percentages on it refering to? I assume it would be total population of Gibraltar but then why does the Gibraltar entry come 98%. josh (talk) 23:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In addition to the problem of Gibraltar mobile phones not working in Spain, there are also serious issues relating to landlines. As noted in the main article, Gibraltar is reached from Spain as a domestic call to 9567xxxxx. Gibraltar has sought to expand the range of telephone numbers available, but Spain refuses to either route calls to country code 350 (as required by EU law and regulation) or to allocate an adequate domestic numbering space for Gibraltar. Thus Gibraltar must choose between staying within a cramped numbering space or allocating numbers that will be unreachable from Spain. I would like to see something about this issue added to the main entry, but I don't have sufficient primary sources. Lincmad 22:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
