    My symapathy for british subjects!
    #4 I am sure that to you everything is a reason to blame Argentina, don't forget Malvinas Argentina military defence budget with The estimated Sterling figure (FY04/05) was £365 million which came from the UK defence budget. This equates to a US Dollar figure (FY04/05) of $657 million, and another $500million in drilling programs that have generated 0.000,00 million barrels of oil in returns, lets put it this way you have nobody else but yourselves to blame, I am not sorry, a sympathy is all I can afford, maybe if you had kept an eye on your own nest full of eggs your nest would still be full, this is a tipical problem dealing with brood parasites species.

    @Redhoyt

    Well inflation... inflation sounds much better than depression... depression.

    What do you think?

    Or do you prefer Invasion, Invasion...

    Lets see if I can make a poem...

    The day Argies got a lot of inflation...
    and the Birts went into depression...
    In a little and irrelevant Island in any dimension...
    louder voices were screaming Invasion... Invasion...

    The little Bennies try to hold their flag with obsession...
    but that didn’t stop the Argies to take easily possession...
    they were remove to the Islands Ascension...
    while they were screaming bloody Argies and the inflation...

    : )

    Very good Dim ... your stupidity should get an award!

    You couldn't invade anywhere at the moment, as Think says the Military has little more than an answer phone!

    You've tried to steal the islands twice, 1833 and 1982 ..... fancy going fot the hat trick ! Betcha!!

    if its every 50 years then the next one may be in 2032 possibly
    Perhaps this time they will bring their navy with them and leave the air force at home
