Peninsula War



The Big Basque(reflective): Anyway, you have some very good-looking women in your royal family these days.
Me(gossipy): Well, I don't think you are the first Spaniard to think so. Apparently....I'm not one to gossip, but...King Juan Carlos...years ago...Princess Diana...I am sure it is absolutely not true at all but that's what they say.....
TBB(intrigued): NO! Really?
Me: Let's have a look (quick internet search). There you go.
TBB(looks, astounded, impressed,): Consecrated hosts!* If that's true, you can have Gibraltar!




*"Hostias", the Spanish equivalent of "bloody hell", I suppose. A Bad Word, in any case.
