What to do with this drunken sailor?

USS New Hamphire
docked at Gibraltar 

GIBRALTAR (Agencies) An American sailor on shore leave from the nuclear submarine USS New Hampshire hit an RGP officer and bit a bystander in a drunken brawl in Irish Town recently. Juvenal Ramirez, 23, was ordered to pay a £500 fine and faces disciplinary procedures on board his vessel. The US Navy sub, and 160 crew, arrived in Gibraltar on August 24 and was the subject of controversy in the Spanish media for its nuclear capability. (Prospero note: enough explosive capacity on board, without including Mr. Ramirez, thank you.)

RGP trials new scheme for bikes crossing frontier

GIBRALTAR (GBC) The Royal Gibraltar Police is piloting a new scheme at the frontier with separate lanes for bicycles and motorbikes. This is in response to problems caused by the large volume of cyclists and motorcyclists trying to squeeze through the border at the same time as larger vehicles. The problem has been worse in recent months as border queues have increased, with Guardia Civil officers checking bikes more frequently due to the large amount of tobacco detected among them. "Time will tell how successful the new system is. We'll monitor the new setup and fine tune it if necessary," said Chief Inspector Michael Lynch.
