Phud? Is that a slang 'food'?
Or definition 1 here?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Phud
- sorry if you think I am being petty, but there are a lot of sensitive issues here, which 'blanket labeling' can hit.

I have never heard that word used in any of the Urban Dictionary contexts.
As for your analysis: it's good food for thought.
(Despite having been to Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar, I was unaware--as I would suspect most outsiders are--of the degree of offensiveness surrounding the issue of Gibraltar being assumed to be part of and discussed as part of the Spanish region without separate enumeration.)

Based on the goalie I know as well as the wording of his post (and the ^), I'm pretty sure he meant it as slang for food.

Sorry for the delay replying to this.
I was reasonably confident that was what you meant, but just wanted to check and also clarify for others.
(I'd not seen "phud" for "food" before - what with them both having the same number of letters, etc! )
To go back on topic, I could see such a 'Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar' section working if it was created.
Any stickys could be organised in agreed format, to group by country, etc.
[Spain: Transport in Spain]
[Spain: Airports in Spain.]
[Spain: Madrid Airport the complete guide.]
[Portugal: Airports in Portual.]
[Portugal: The reference thread...]
[Gibraltar: Everything you need to know.]
- Indeed, as a virtually entire life Gibraltar connected/resident (it has varied) person I'd be happy to help manage the Gibraltar bit.
However having said that I CAN see it working and working well, I'm still not saying it is necessarily needed yet for any, I don't know.
But if anything IS done, make it this combined section, not an individual one, as I think individual would really create problems.
