Coming across this small article on a maritime museum which is to be created on a naval rescue ship in Spain which was due to be scrapped, I couldn’t help but remember one of the three most desired projects of our dear departed Editor. One of them was just that; a maritime museum in Gibraltar; which has a glorious naval history; which could be equipped with many artefacts; photos; memorabilia, paintings etc. Read more

The death of the British monarch and head of state Elizabeth II has had a profound impact not only in UK and British Overseas Territories but across the entire world. She was one of the few remaining representatives of the paradigms of permanence, stability and certitude which once provided solid foundations to our societies, values which have been sadly dismantled in a mad rush to dispense with tradition and invent new, floating systems of belief, fashionable social experiments that could fit into the fickle, self-indulgent demands of the contemporary world.

For some people when they have to pass wind they do it while others try to hold it in for a more convenient time. Can it kill you if you hold it in too long? Read more

SPECIAL REPORT by PETER TABERNER
Gibraltar’s business community is still wondering whether a full Brexit agreement will be brokered, but also if there will be access to the Schengen Area, which would hugely affect all sectors of the economy.
So far the government has firmly stated that the main objective is to create a common travel area between Gibraltar and the Schengen zone, for the future relationship of Gibraltar with the European Union. Read more

In my Opinion by CATHERINE NUZA
It’s no secret that Gibraltar and Spain have problem cockroach areas. Main town area has become increasingly worse when storm drains aren’t functioning correctly.
DRAINS
These cockroaches are mainly seen coming out of clogged drains and they love to inhabit the plumbing of old buildings. With so many houses needing repair within the town area the problem seems to be getting worse. When the winter weather starts to set in and the streets are soaked in rain the cockroaches from fear of drowning find some dry places to wait it out. Read more

IN MY OPINION by CATHERINE NUZA
Unfortunately the GHA have been found to have earned a progressively poor reputation. This is based on a collection of failings that aren’t being corrected!
