Falkland Islands declares public holiday and celebrates with a community party
AT least thirty bridal gowns will be paraded before guests at the Falkland Islands’ Friday community party to celebrate the Westminster wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, reports the Penguin News.
The dresses have been sourced from weddings held over the past six decades – and some have seen duty more than once. The earliest was first worn in 1958 but, although two of the original brides can still fit into their dresses, none will be wearing their own dresses on the day.
The “red carpet” parade of brides, grooms and page boys is just one of the many highlights lined up for the free ten-hour event, which kicks off at 10am at the FIDF Hall, and celebrates the biggest royal wedding since Charles and Diana’s on July 29 1981.
Organiser Trish Jamieson has been gathering a small army of supporters over recent weeks to ensure the Falklands celebrates the big day – declared a public holiday by government – in right royal style.
As well as dances, games and giveaways, the wedding itself will be beamed into the hall on a big screen TV. Guests are asked to bring their own food, drink… and confetti.
Raffle tickets also are selling well, and will be available for purchase at the party, with prizes drawn from 4pm onwards.
Meanwhile the soon-to-be royal couple –or at least life-size cardboard cut-outs of them – has been touring the Islands. Photographs from their novelty walkabout, together with the party’s guest list and full details of Friday’s event, will be compiled into a journal to be lodged with the Museum as a permanent record, unlike previous royal weddings where details of celebrations in the Falklands are virtually non-existent.
The Pod Gift Shop in Stanley has produced a range of wedding memorabilia, including mugs, cups, rulers and coasters, all priced at £5 or under, to be sold exclusively at the party, and Susan Knipe and her team at Jac’s Café are producing icing images of the Kate and William – who was born exactly seven days after Liberation Day in 1982 – to decorate some of the teaberry cup cakes from which Heather Smith will be fashioning a celebratory tower.
Commercial premises seem to have been slow to respond to the suggestion that they should make special displays for the wedding, with the notable exception of Kandy Kabin in Philomel Street, whose windows are gloriously decked out.
In the UK, the Falklands will be represented at the royal wedding by Assembly Member Sharon Halford and her husband John. Sharon said John raised his eyebrows at the price tag on the irst choice of hat, but a suitable, simple alternative was soon found to finish her three-piece cream suit with black accessories.
“The shops are full of it, as well as the TV, in the build up to the event,” said Sharon.
In the Colchester area where she has been spending time with family, there is a lot of dressing up and street parties being planned.
“Everyone is very excited,” she said.
Sharon and John are being picked up at 9am on Friday to be taken by coach to Westminster for the wedding ceremony, and afterwards will be transported to Lancaster House for a reception with Foreign Secretary William Hague.
For those looking for a more traditional weekend, the William and Kate cut-outs will be making the journey to North Arm on Friday, and will be welcomed at the club with much flag-waving before dancing gets underway.
The championship dog trials take place on Saturday morning, followed by a barbecue lunch and the Darwin Harbour Sports Association sweepstake draw at the Social Club, rounded off with a fancy dress dance.

Looking at the picture above I see that the sheep is gone from your “flag” :-))
But if you look close, you will see 2 islands called east and west Falkland,and do you know what? they dont belong to Argentina :-)))

And a little something for you
LOL... and I thought I was harsh
Probably true though... they work with what materials they have in the royal inbred colony. : P
The second reason for sam-sex dancing is the fact that dancing was seen as a means to a woman's heart. This was further exacerbated by the fact that men outnumbered women in Buenos Aires

I'm just surprised that the wedding of a member of our Royal family has had the coverage that it has had in Argentina, and I assume in many other places in the world
That's Hear! Hear! not Here! Here!

Britain 'on the edge of a double dip recession'
“Britain is “teetering on the edge of a double dip recession” after official GDP numbers confirmed that the economy has stagnated for the past six months.”
www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/8476464/Britain-on-the-edge-of-a-double-dip-recession.html
The problem with constant breeding from a small group of households is the recessive genes express themselves more frequently. Not a problem in our lifetime but, over the centuries of royal history that we have experienced and enjoyed, the odd trait has surfaced and has been worthy of comment.
Kate brings the well mixed genes of the 'common-woman' - or plebian as our latin (american) friends say,
Both she and her genes are most welcome.
When it gets this bad get back to us
Argentina quickly lost the confidence of investors and the flight of money away from the country increased. In 2001, people fearing the worst began withdrawing large sums of money from their bank accounts, turning pesos into dollars and sending them abroad, causing a run on the banks. The government then enacted a set of measures, informally known as the corralito,[7][8] that effectively froze all bank accounts for twelve months,[9][10] allowing for only minor sums of cash to be withdrawn, initially announced to be of just $ 250 a week.[11]
Because of this allowance limit and the serious problems it caused in certain cases, many Argentines became enraged and took to the streets of important cities, especially Buenos Aires. They engaged in a form of popular protest that became known as cacerolazo[8][12][13][14] (banging pots and pans). These protests occurred especially in 2001 and 2002. At first the cacerolazos were simply noisy demonstrations, but soon they included property destruction,[15] often directed at banks,[16][17] foreign privatized companies, and especially big American and European companies. Many businesses installed metal barriers because windows and glass facades were being broken, and even fires being ignited at their doors. Billboards of such companies as Coca Cola and others were brought down by the masses of demonstrators.
Any thoughts on the Kelpian gene pool?
You'd think the Kelpians would welcome a new genetic string in their gene pool, not that I find them particularly pleasing to the eye.
In fact, he is fighting back on behalf of all those Argentines who don't fancy themselves as film stars or models.
But does Martin_Fierro not much care what he looks like. He planted himself in front of the presidential palace, the Casa Rosada or Pink House, to harangue President Nestor Kirchner to change the law.
It's not fair, he said. The beautiful people get all the breaks. Beauty is a natural advantage and he wants the good-lookers to be taxed to finance compensation for the ugly people.
Not pretty
His book, Feo (Ugly), has just been republished and is selling well. On the inside cover is a picture of Fierro as a youth. It is not a pretty sight.
Stupid people do that to me
That was clever. I also agree that the whole commotion surrounding the wedding feels like empty entertainment for the masses. Even though the wedding obviously was not intended for that purpose, it is going to work like panus et circuses.
Nothing 'royal' about the country itself...
What a clown... lol

but then again she shoots herself in the foot so often , she knows not what she says most of the time, stop living in the past, and enjoy the day,

What a fine pair... ROYAL I should say... lol
This is the British Attitude! “They don't yield any power” . . . hence the Falklands.
(an easy mistake to make ;-)
What word would you use to describe what the Argies have done with your “resource rich country ”
at leat we can amend our errors and say sorry,
theirs no blue on blue here martin.
im well aware frase is british, i just got it wrong,
if only argentina could put right all the nasty things you have done to the falklands, then we could all be happy,?
And sticky... you're undeniably the voice of 'f@cking' reason, a true royal eminence, I surrender to you... lol

Who are you talking to?
So sorry to have missed this high quality debate yesterday; I was far too busy watching the royal wedding on TV.
And what a lovely day it was; the bride looked fabulous, everybody looked really happy, the choir sang beautifully, and all the hundreds of thousands of people in the crowd seemed to be having a great day out.
I can understand if someone else's royals don't seem important to you.
There are 2 billion people around the world who disagree.
However, it seems a poor show if you can't be happy for a young couple on their wedding day and refrain, just for once, from the usual vile contemptible insults.
I live in london.
I agree with you. I doubt very much they were all at home glued to their TV screens. At least they had the chance.
To be a“people” with distinct identity from the British Clown! Dignity? Ask Charles or Camilla. Or your HMG “governor” to convey the message: where's dignity? Do hope this time Mercopress does NOT delete my message
www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13248199
That said, I guess the point is that it was watched by many people across the world.
I'm just curious as to how they came to the figure of 2 billion.

What does this have to do with Charles and Camilla, or the Governor?
There were royal wedding celebrations all over the world; how are our's any different?
And our choice to remain British subjects is no secret from anyone. The British royal family is our's as well. So what are you getting at?
They say 2 Billion on here:

FWIW.
Less people watched dianas wedding in our country, Her funeral is still the most watched thing in the world.
Just a comparison.

www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/tv-column/2011/04/28/AFbhUR8E_story.html
From what i've read. 99% of people watching TV in the UK were watching the wedding. The numbers do also go on households. I would have been counted as one person watching the wedding, i was watching it with four people.
In other countrys. There was apparently 40 million in india watching, 10 in australia and canada. About 25 in the US, almost as much as obama's inauguration considdering it was at 5am it's not a bad number. 400 million apparently on internet
I don't think one billion is a stretch. Two i think is. Then again 2.5 watched the diana funeral.
Elaborating on ”Brainwash Light” Mr. Frase…………........................
Just read what poster No. 86 has to say………………..
Even when presented with clear evidence about the baselessness of those estimates, he keeps repeating them as a mantra:
”Diana’s funeral is still the most watched thing in the world.”
and
”Then again 2.5 watched Diana’s funeral.”
I quote from the Washington Post:
”….Doesn’t begin to match that of BBC’s, which, back in ’97, told an equally unquestioning press that 2.5 billion people around the globe — half the world’s population at the time — were going to watch Princess Di’s funeral.
That number was repeated so often that it, too, became fact before the funeral, and has continued to be cited as fact ever since, living on like an eternal flame. As recently as this month, it was used in that Reuters article in which Britain’s culture secretary unveiled the official 2 billion viewers figure for the wedding of Di’s elder son, William, to Middleton — nearly a month before the happy event’s occurrence…..”

British Brainwash light anybody?
“The Royals” are just humans like you or me. Except they are hyper wealthy and over privileged. The richest people in the country are having the wedding on taxpayer money while UK is in financial crisis, great job!
The sooner we rid the world of monarchies and the aristocracy, the better.
Royalty only belongs to children fairy tales book and brain washed adults.
One incontestable fact about this Royal Wedding is that that Pippa lass has a remarkably nice ”bone structure”……….
I agree two billion people...laughed their rear off after watching these two clowns....

Didn't read the link the first time you posted it. Could be right it's not something i know too much about just using the general numbers floating around the internet.
Then again what he says is just as baseless as what he's claiming is baseless, without proof none of it is fact.

Thanks, Interesting article!
86 -
“There was apparently 40 million in india watching, 10 in australia and canada. About 25 in the US”
40 million is certainly a lot of people but, bearing in mind for the 2 billion figure to be true almost 30% of the whole world's population would need to have watched it, out of a population of 1.2 billion, 40 million is what 2-3 %? With less than 10% in the U.S.
Some other countries must have REALLY been into it to make up the shortfall, but I can't see, China, for example, taking much more interest in it than the U.S or India.
Undoubtedly many people watched it across the world, but how did they arrive at the 2 billion figure? And why has it been so widely accepted and reported without question?
So, brainwash light on a global scale, then?
I'm not sure how the exact numbers came into place. A british MP(Culture i think) said 2 billion. Someone from the New York Times estimated 3 billion. Google said something about 400 million through YouTube alone. The BBC site got 34 million before it crashed.
Again i don't think 2 billion is a realistic number, i think one billion is more realistic.

Brainwash .... anyone ?
But apparently not everyone fully understands the full extent of Argentina's spurious claims. The brainwashing technique needs a little tweaking maybe?

San Martín, for if you dont know, was the libertador of Argentina, Chile and Perú a reality so yes he is el padre de la patria !!!
Sarmiento created 1425 law, for an education gratuita laica y pública for first time in Argentina, another reality so yes bregó incansablemente por la educación. Ma Que brainwash!!! If Sarmiento was an orgy lover or whatever thats a problem of his personnal life and doesnt invalid all he did for education. (he brought new methods of teaching, like Montessori for ex)
Malvinas first discovered and they were of spain and then of argentina and then you expulsed our people living there with a gobernador
where is the brainwash!!!!
Its our history that you dont know............
The Falkland Islands were contested between Spain and Britain ... Argentina was never involved !
and please about Sarmiento why do you say he no bregó por la educación en Argentina (sentó las bases de la ley 1420 no 1425)......
I generally find Argentine women more attractive, if a touch on the fiery side........But that Pippa lass.......... daymmnn
ley 1420 was very important because allow for first time to regulate our educational sistem and also because it was obligatoria that means it was to all the children and not only for those who could pay. And Sarmiento did for education many others things you can search in the web.
And San Martín I know he is not the father of your fatherland but if you are posting that its brainwash that San Martín is the father of our fatherland yes show me please why or perhaps you are the ones repeating nonsense.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-13262090
the Argies havent got any Patience :-)))))
I'm pretty sure Argentina DID own the Falkland Islands briefly in the 1980s, by force majeure; but the same force majeure took it back in no uncertain terms.
This defines its recent 'ownership' time-line and powerfully conditions any discussion on the matter.
Hell, it seems to command a good 70% of all discussions on Mercopress!
Indoctrination is not education.
we are indoctrinating kids on Malvinas issue?? In that my country is making a presentation and a claim in the ONU............ahhhhhhhhhhh we cant talk of Malvinas because you dont like what we say??? you want to say us what and how to teach???
Education here is democratic and free cathedra and with a lot of diversity
That's not what Axel says. He says that the teaching of 'Malvinas' history is compulsory in schools and doesn't deal with anything after 1833. Doesn't sound very diverse to me. You should be representing both sides of the dispute if you are teaching this.
And yes, I am telling you what and how to teach. Teaching one side of history isn't teaching history at all. It's indoctrination.
Children should be taught how to think, not what to think.
My translation software makes that - “ ... The Malvinas are Argentine', these are things we learned from breast milk and are part of our identity ...”
If it comes with the breast milk then there's a good chance its indoctrination.
But I'm glad to hear that you can be taught both sides, although there's little evidence of it.
Rotted, Do you tell the same story about “indoctrination” to the millions of people who suffer British occupations around the World?
And what's your point?
You have your monarchy as part of your identity...their faces and your flag in plates, cups, towells, t-shirts, newspapers, magazines even films books they are in your every day life just representing britain nothing else you paid them for just that, and you must learn a lot of them too since you are very little kids....... isnt that some kind of patrioterismo???
If you can't see why we (the Falkland Islanders) have a problem with Argentinas approach to the Falkland Islands then you're an idiot.
Your teaching about the 'Malvinas' is like if British schools taught that the empire was a jolly good thing and in fact that the British have a right to reclaim it, this as a concept is of course bollocks and is not taught in British schools, you however DO teach a concept that is equally nonsensicle as 'history' in your schools, and you think you're being entirely reasonable and objective, your hypocrisy is frankly incredible.
and havent you seen how many different opinnions there can be with democracy by the argentines, antik and prok, proarg and probritish argentinians living all together ..(there must be we can think and we can make our own point of view after seeing a lot of both sides).... i dont know if that can happens on those isles.....
Yes it is. the difference is that if I buy a royal wedding mug, it doesn't hurt anyone.
However, your version of patriotism hurts me and my family and everyone here. You are teaching something in schools that is intended to damage people and that is the bit that is unacceptable
You're right about one thing though, you're never going to see Falkland Islanders taking a pro Argentine point of view with regard to our sovereignty. It's not, however, because we're incapable of appreciating that point of view as you believe, it's because we are Falkland Islanders, not Argentinians. Would you, for instance, be prepared to accept it if your government decided to concede that your claim to the Falklands was invalid?
We do not have 14 territories in dispute. Of those 14 only the Falklands and Gibraltar are in dispute and they are not claimed by their country, they are claimed by another country.
-.....if you cant see your colonialism and illegal occupations all over the world its your problem.
No Malen, the problem is your ignorance and the ignorance of people like you.
There is nothing illegal about the UK's relation with its territories. Those territories are not colonies; those territories are British because the majority people in those territories are British and want to remain so. The UK does not hold any territory against the will of its population. There is absolutely no impediment by the UK to any of those territories becoming independent or joining another country if the peoples of those countries so wish.
What is colonialism is Argentina's attempt to take over the Falklands against the wishes of its people.
sorry westisbest but if you want to be british then go to britain the isles dont look so similar to britain not even are in the smae continent
and dab for you watch the list of territories on dispute in the web .....chagos, rockall, etc.
well westisbest the ones that thaught different than you in a pro argentinian way are living here....so yes you can think different the problem if in the isles there is place for both sides.
And Mad'un is correct. There are two claims from other countries for the Indian Ocean Territory as well as one from those who claim to have been the population of the Chagos attol ( an assertion that is rather more complicated than some would have us all believe). There is indeed another claim in for Rockall. Something of a joke until the UN decided to divide up the worlds oceans!
Nobody appears to want Pitcairn :-)
''it hurts us the isles have been stolen''???
No it doesn't. It might hurt your feelings or your borderline insane sense of national pride, but it doesn't actually affect you at all.
Will it make any difference to you if Argentina get the islands?No. Will it make a difference to us? Well what do you think? You want to ruin the lives of every man woman and child here and you think it's OK.
Your damn right it's our problem, or rather you are, but only because you choose to be and you choose to teach your children lies in school so that they'll carry on the noble tradition.
This isn't about being British, it's about not being made to become Argentine against our will.
I hope Prince William does come here. The rest of his unit is due to be posted here and he should be too. I don't think it'll happen unless our friends in the FCO get their balls sewn back on first, because you lot will insist on making it a political issue. You have the insane idea that everything that happens here is about you.
“Would you, for instance, be prepared to accept it if your government decided to concede that your claim to the Falklands was invalid?”
Well?
they are part of our territorial integrity
West i saw the question dont understand well, not in dreams would argentina leave the claim :)
I would accept a Un resolution or an agreement with you
and you?? leave it i know the answerrrrrrrr
that'd be 'no' then. You wouldn't accept that anymore than we'd accept any concession to Argentina.
@148
Get real Malen, you know that in the real world the only solution that is acceptable to Argentina is the transfer of sovereignty, you've said it yourself: “they are part of our territorial integrity” then you say “I would accept a UN resolution”, a UN resolution saying what prey? that, for instance, Argentina must respect the wishes of the Falkland islanders perhaps? yeah right, sure you'd accept that.
Any talk of agreement is a sham, there isn't any middle ground between us and Argentina, We and the British government are honest enough to aknowledge that.
btw malen, our lslands are NOT part of your territorial integrity. so keep your nose out of our affairs.
In reality it's not going to change anything, You guys are safe and they can't do squat. If they ever do try nose in your affairs those typhoons can give them a bit of a slapping.
