The Rock

Me at the Rock of Gibraltar


Tuesday 22 August.

Got no sleep at the Hostal in Lagos as we had turned it into party hostel for the night. Then got up at 4.30am to hitch a ride with two Israeli girls down to Gibraltar to investigate ferries to Maroc. Only fery sailing is on Friday from Gibraltar so muct go into spain again. This place is just like Little Britain - streetsigns are the same, there's a Morrisons. Ceapest booze ever, cheap smokes and perfume, tax haven for gamblers (where the two girls work in customer service). Check out some of the photos from the flickr site by clicking on the little badge to the right. Not sure how expebnsive it is here, but hopefully I can change money on the cheap! Need a shave. Thinking I should start a company in Gibraltar to get tax benefits.Wikipedia - Gib

Everyone has heard the expression "...great minds think alike". but what does it mean? What is it referring to? Do great minds really think alike? If all minds thought alike, would we still get innovation? Genius can also be defined as: = intuis (wisdom) = cognis (knowledge) = technis (practical ability) and in addition, those people are often in possession of a 'special vision'.
