“The people of the Falklands have spoken clear and loud”, MLA Hansen tells Trinidad and Tobago
The Falkland Islands have spoken, and have spoken clearly and loud for all countries in the world to listen, said Ian Hansen, member of the elected Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly currently on a tour of Caribbean countries to deliver the message from the March 10/11 referendum.
“Falklanders have spoken clearly and loud for all countries to listen; we have done so because we have a right to self determination, to decide on our political status and on our future”, said MLA Hansen next to Emily Hancox, a young Islander who is part of the team currently visiting Trinidad and Tobago, according to a report from the Trinidad Guardian.
The March 10/11 referendum with an overwhelming turnout of 92% showed that all Islanders (99.8%) with the exception of three votes want to remain a British Overseas Territory.
The government of Argentine president Cristina Fernandez a likes to say they are the champions of human and civil rights, “and I imagine this means everyone has the right to self determination, but no, she says the Falklands’ people don’t have that fundamental right and for Minister Timerman we do not exist as a people” explained MLA Hansen during a gathering at Trinidad’s International Relations centre.
MLS Hansen said the right to self determination is enshrined, not only in the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514, but also in the Falklands’ Constitution.
British High Commissioner Arthur Snell was present at the seminar, but no one from the Argentina Embassy turned up.
“In the spirit of diplomatic dialogues, we were hoping to have a representative of the Argentina Government here today but that didn’t happen,” Snell said.
MLA Hansen was quick to say that the Falkland Islands are not closed to dialogue with Argentina: “I don’t want anyone to think we are not open to the concept of dialogue”, on those issues that are of mutual interest, but which do not include sovereignty.
MLA Hansen and Ms Hancox at the seminar titled ‘Sovereignty and Self-determination: Discussion of the Falkland/Malvinas Islands Referendum’ pointed out that the referendum was initiated by the people of the Falklands and was done in a “correct and international manner” following international standards and with international observers.
In a reference to the Falklands’ economy MLA Hansen said the Islands are fairly wealthy with main income from fisheries, tourism, agriculture and in the next few years, hopefully oil and gas. “By 2017 when the first shipments of oil are expected, this could change the Islands’ economy”.

Yeahhhhhh............................ what difference do you think that makes!
They are all English Squatters anyway.
PS:
Glad to see that the word “Squatter” to refer to “squatters” has been incorporated to the official Argentinean Discourse Vocabulary....
A little victory for the new “Thinkers” in Argentina ;-)
Francis 666 is 100% pure Argentinian. Fact that both parents born in Italy shouldn't detract from his Arginess.

Found this review on amazon :
This is an extremely interesting work, although it really needs to be read in conjunction with its companion work “Suspension of the Critical Faculties for Dummies”. A word of caution is however in order, in that both works are extremely difficult to grasp unless you have been obliged to spend your formative years reciting “Malvinas Argentinas” until blue in the face.
Nevertheless, here are some extracts to give you a flavour of the work. In each case the term in Argentinian Discourse is translated into its meaning in the real world :
Dialogue: You do what I tell you
Arrogance: You don't do what I tell you.
Squatters: Owners
Usurpation: Recovery
Recovery: Usurpation
Peaceful resolution: see Dialogue
Negotiations: see Dialogue
Pirate: Policeman
The Whole World: Argentina
Rights: Demands
Legitimate: Illegitimate
Perfect Friendship: Imperfect Friendship
Implanted: non-Spanish speaking
etc, etc.

Amazing how you “two” manage to post so close together despite being in different parts of the world...and it happens so often too. gasp, shock, horror, what coincidence.
Now, remind us all why we need to take any notice of somebody who is so insecure in their own ideals that they have to make up fake accounts to back their own ideas up?
I mean your point and stance is so weak you cant find real supporters so you make up fake people to try to make it look as though you have friends... which is pretty sad to say the least.
Reminds me of your President though: whoring herself to anybody or anything if it might save her politics from going down the shitter before she has time to re-write your constitution so she can rig another term in office.
You're absolutely right.

your comment @23 DoD
“What difference does it matter where she was born?”
I'm beginning to “Think” that some posters in here have never seen an European Union Passport*.....Not even an “English” one....
No “Country of Birth” on them
Just “Nationality”
And “Place of Birth”
It doesn't matter where you were born....
It's your “Nationality” that matters...
And that bored lass in the picture above certainly looks English ;-)

Born in the Islands as Emily was means she is an Islander - and British as being born in a Br.Overseas territory. - most certainly not English.
Think - I actually thought you could have worked that one out.

By the way, I don't have the right to decide who represents the Falkland Island electorate on these jaunts. If I did there would be a little less of the“ old man with young woman” formula for a start. I'll tell you what I do have the right to do though and that's advance an opinion about a series of actions that are designed to advance a cause that, if successful, will be prejudicial to both my personal and the British national interest.
By failing to seize the opportunity to move away from colonial to integrated status the electorate have chosen the worst option for the disenfranchised majority of British people. In my opinion, of course.
“Speak roughly to your little boy
and beat him when he sneezes!
he only does it to annoy,
because he knows it teases!”
It's getting more and more Lewis Carroll in the Argieverse, though isn't it? I guess this is related to the absence of rational argument.
Surely you don't think Think .....
I want to see any of the English turnips in here attack this, your perfect example of Scottish Free Thinking...
I would agree that sometime some of the English do think they are only ones who are British.
So glad though that you do not call an Islands born person an Argentine.
Dover - simple reason why we voted for staying a B.0.T. is that GB does not recognise or accept the concept of full integration. France does with some of it,s O.T.s yes - but thats their decision.
That then leaves Independence as the only other option to B.O.T. - and that is not exactly a vaible runner with Arg breathing down our necks and stating that the only thing that keeps her out are the British Forces here. Let alone our population size etc etc.
Ok Belize got Independence and a UK defence guarantee - but other that Guatemala pretty well the entire world recognized belize,s Independence so invasion was not a likley happening- even Arg recognized Belize! I would not expext UK nor any other State to offer us a solid Defence Guarantee on its own for as long as Arg continues with its claim - and reality tells me that claim is unlikley to drop!
New Zealand and the Cook Is and Nieue - well again nobody is claiming those places! - it does make a wee difference!
Like all of the Caribbean states, they fell into line behind CFK, and T&T had extra pressure from next-door Venezuela too - money and military pressure, Chávez bluster too.
What makes it even funnier? A 1st generation Argentine is vainly trying to back him up.
It's the blind leading the blind here today ladies and gentlemen.
This would free him from the constant interference of the CFK government, the leftist anti business, anti middle class, anti democratic policies which are harming this major metropolitan city & would also make him The President which is what he desperately wants
Last heard of his advisors were trying to contact the Governor of the FI & RIOM to organize such a referendum
Millions of Argies including Raul, Doveoverdover , Malvinero & Thick are lining up for their DNI to the new independent BsAs wishing to be free from socialist, militant, Bolivarian policies that are destroying Argentina :-) :-)
It makes sense to me to have older/younger and male/female representatives so they can talk about the Falklands from a wider perspective. I suppose Jan or Sharon could have gone gone along with a young Falklands bloke but I imagine you would make disparaging remarks about that as well.
In my humble opinion, the Yes vote in them Islands will give Argentina much more than just “an annual world forum for airing our claim”...
Your laudable but quite unsuccessful campaigning for a NO vote, tells me that you somehow agree with my above conclusion…
Lets hope that the FCO continues sleeping under their Self-Determination comforters...
It appears not.
You are as naive about people as you are about the world. ;-0

“Somewhere in the world, is a pantomime horse with two heads.”
LOL
MLS Hansen said the right to self determination is enshrined, not only in the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514, but also in the Falklands’ Constitution.
British High Commissioner Arthur Snell was present at the seminar, but no one from the Argentina Embassy turned up.“””
The Argentine Government isnt big of face-to-face meetings it seems, at least not with people who are not already signed-up to the CFK circus.
Its the same with the Argentine Press and CFKs need to shackle it and to avoid answering questions.
Rather like ThinkoDoD answering direct questions proves very, very difficult, and if the Argentine Government attended this sort of meeting they would get asked direct questions.
With no shackled press to avoid printing their cock-ups and lack of knowledge it would become obvious how badly they understand the situation, history and the UN Charter.
So its not so much an issue of them not attending because they dont want to, its more to do with fear and incompetence dictating that they cant without appearing out of touch, stupid and arrogant.... unless the meeting were promised to be held in secret with no observers etc etc etc...
With folks like TImmerman and the trolly-dolly leading their way though who can blame them.
But at any time we can vote to change that arrangement - and no doubt it will change and develop over the coming years - and one day I would say it is quite a possibility that we may become a small Independent Comminwealth nation - but for now reality is reality.
As for giving Arg an annual opportunity - well they rant almost weekly anyway - if that now gets cut to just annually - we have indeed won a victory.
lool ;-0
How desperate are these clowns.

@22 No such place. When will you return to Buenos Adios?
@25 Then why don't you sod off? You're not wanted. Be aware. You have as much right to “free speech” as the Falklanders do to self-determination and sovereignty.
@31 I've got another one for you
It's not THINK, it's PRICK.
@32 Who told you that you have a “right” to advance an opinion? Is that a BRITISH “right”? A “right” you wouldn't have in argieland.
@44 Just be aware that the FCO might be sleeping, they've always been traitors, but the RAF and RN aren't. And neither are the British people. And all the available evidence indicates that the people of Britain have no problem visiting retribution and destruction on argieland.
So, the decision is prejudicial to your “personal interest”. But your “personal interest” is of no significance. You are an insignificant minority. Probably of ONE. Fortunately, you do not represent the British people. Do I recall that you have said you were in the British forces? What as? A cook? A toilet cleaner. Last time I looked, we don't have a regiment called the Cowardly Traitors. That's what you were discharged for, right? That and being a barrackroom lawyer.
@53 As we all know, argieland has nothing, because it is nothing. A territory replete with resources. But they are poor. They poison their crops and land, their animals in their greed. Their creed is “something for nothing”. And what have they managed after 200 years? Nothing. Shit in a basket with a hole in it. Never be concerned. We may have to fly in a few extra aircraft before turning their shanty “capital” into a smoking crater. But we will keep the noise pollution to a minimum. We will, after all, be guests.
Don't tell me... all of your social interactions are with us on MercoPress? I wouldn't be surprised.
And your point is what, oh Mr Thicker-than-frozen-pig-shit-on-a-stick? In case it had escaped your attention, it is the Danish spelling of the name Hansen, rather than the Norwegian spelling (which would be Hanssen), and Norway had pretty much always been Danish until it was liberated from that by the British defeat of the Danes in 1812. But of course, you are too dense to understand the subtleties of Scandinavian spelling, aren't you? Så gå af til helvede til, du svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul.
@4 Think
Thinkers in Argentina? Who are you kidding? Thinking and Argentina diametric and opposites mutually incompatible concepts. Thinking requires a degree of rational processing, not tortured rabid nationalistic froth.
Would one not have to accept?
That Argentineans are in fact European squatters,
The only deference being,
That the British did not kill the indigenous people,
[as their were none]
But
The Spanish and future argentines on the other hand
, almost wiped out the indigenous population.
Totalling millions of innocent people,
And they have the cheek to call us implanted.
We call them hypercrits..
.
It's ok though, according to axel arg full reparation has been made in the Argentine constitution to the indigenous, I think it goes something like this...
Sorry for the genocide but as we now outnumber due to the fact we virtually wiped you out, you we will let you vote in our country as long as at no time your vote means squat..oh and by the way, we will continue to rape your country for everything it's got.
He sees that the Argentines are due “similar reparation” for British theft in 1833.
I have offered that the FI constitution could be adjusted so that all the UP that weren't evicted (as opposed to slaughtered) in 1833 could have the same entitlement on the islands...I am not sure that's what he meant.
As I suspected, you are not that smart Norwegian hunk, Mr Skare....
You are just another insulting English Turnip...

Two dumb mistakes in just a line?
The real Mr. Skare would never.....
correct,
the guilty always have some exuse as to why they always lie,
And in that one post you confirm that you are nothing more than a pig-ignorant fool who relies on Google Translate. Just another coke-addled twerp, aren't you? :-)
It's not....: Så gå af til helvede til, du svagtbegavede .....

No it isn't. And google translate is quite enough to see what's wrong with it.
Kära Tingelings fjärde inkarnation.
du svagtbegavede .. = you feeble-minded ..
din svagtbegavede .. = your feeble-minded ..
Det er helt indlysende, at du og alle dine flere personligheder - som alle viser tydelige tegn på de præcis samme vrangforestillinger og personlighedsforstyrrelser - er intet mere end et fuldstændigt bedrageri fra en uvidende og lidet overbevisende troll (og ja, da en trold ikke er det samme som en troll, er det stavet helt korrekt) så vær venlig at skrid af .. eller behöver du det på svenska för att förstå det, kära dåraktiga sydamerikanska bondlurk?
And what is this obsession with me being a “hunk”? Are you gay or something? If so, trust me, I wouldn't touch you with my worst enemy's, let alone my own. I'd rather get drunk and gag on Francis in a Vatican sauna.
Think tried to do the same in German with me. His results were laughable to say the least.
As for Think's take on homosexuality, read the comments on this thread if you dare:

A) Your Danish is quite ok… Allow me though a pair of suggestions…
1) “alle dine flere personligheder” ... Here I would use ”mange” and/or ”andre” instead….
2) ”vær venlig at skrid af”… Uuups, nogen “glemte” vist en lille ”e” i ”skride”….
Ikke desto mindre, det hedder stadigvæk ”DIT svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul”, ikke ”DU svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul”.
Ed dette forstået, dit svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul ;-)
Oooooops...... You did it again, Anglolatino....

Keep trying, laddies.
Oh dear!
1) flere = several, which is what I meant. Mange would have meant many, which isn't what I meant .. unless you are openly admitting that you have MANY online personalities . DOH!
2) oh dear, you inserted an extra 'e' on the skrid, which would have been fine if I was politely telling you to step away, but I think we both know that it was meant in the more Anglo-Saxon foxtrot oscar sense, where there is no additional 'e' unless you are addressing it to several people, rather than one person with a multiple-personality disorder.
You really aren't very good at this Danish lark are you? Did you learn it from a farmer in Jutland? That would certainly make sense, because your German certainly looks like you also learned that from an octogenarian jutlandic farmer, who votes for Dansk Folkeparti.
Don't worry, I've known for ages that Think is more fake than the tits on a drag queen mincing up Flinders Street in the Mardi Gras parade. Ditto his misogyny, homophobia and difficulty in dealing with the fact that this proud self-confessed uphill gardener in the great pink allotment is more man than he can ever dream of being :-)
@74 Be serious
Nice one?!?! You're a bit fast, I haven't even gotten it out of my AussieBums yet ;-)
1) I can see that you tacitly accepted mi suggestion Nr 1….: ”Mange” and/or ”Andre” sound much, much better in Danish that your cacophonic: ”Alle dine flere”......
2) Not so fast, Mr Skåre….....
Omitting the letter “E” in the Danish word : “Skride” amounts to omitting the letter “R” in the English word: “Bugger”
So…........................; “Bugge Off” ;-)))
3) I must say that you were kind of close about whom I learned Danish from…
A delightful Danish lady (born In Argentina, by the way :-) who’s Rigsdansk was so classic and unpolluted that the Copenhagen University send down a team of linguists to record and study that living language monument.
4) About that octogenarian Jutlandic German speaker your mention… As you should know, most of the octogenarian population in Sønderjylland speaks, indeed, German. (with the loveliest of Frisian accents.)
Mange gode hilsner.....

Which reminds me, I was so busy laughing, at your feeble attempts at Klingon, that I almost forgot ….
Ed [Er, not Ed, you mullet!] dette [det, not dette, unless you learnt Danish by watching endless repeats of Matador on DR1] forstået,[misplaced comma] dit [du,not dit] svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul [missing question mark]. Going for gold with five glaring errors in a single sentence, eh? :-)
Whilst we are at it, since you are having difficulty understanding it, here is a little lesson in patronymic naming conventions for you, using 'son of Hans' as an example: Hanssen = Norwegian, Hanson = Swedish, English & Anglo-Saxon, Hansson = Swedish & Icleandic, Hansen = Danish, Hanzoon = Dutch, MacHans = Gaelic, Fitzhans = Anglo-Norman, Hansyevich = Russian, Kusse bin Hans = Arabic.
You remind me of a dim but cute little Danish squealer I did a few weeks ago. His middle name is Høj. He is all of 5'2” and has an inferiority complex that could rival yours.
Now quit your feeble attempts at using pidgin Danish to call on this imaginary Nordic solidarity you delude yourself is stronger than my anti-fascist principles, because there is none to call upon .. not even when you are hawking your røv, on Istedgade, to make ends meet. Besides, everyone knows that Norwegians hate Swedes with a passion. Got it, bonderøv?
Why do you contine to raise my sexuality? Isn't that my job? You are too old to be my type. I don't have grandpa issues.
And yes, you prefer to spell Goethe's name differently. Always trying to buck the trend that even Goethe himself followed. I'll let your posts stand for all to see. Unlike you, I don't need to have the last say when you have said what I need you to say. Just like you and Stevie in your homophobic bullying on another thread. You said everything I needed you to say. And now it's there for everyone to see.
My German speaking friends and I had quite a chuckle over your lack of ability in German. The fact that you couldn't differentiate between using university alone and as part of compound words spoke volumes. When joining two nouns together in German there are some rules. You will notice that all the examples you gave where compound words with two or more nouns joined together. I didn't need to highlight this because you proved me right.
I suggest you look up the definition of an epenthesis.
Here are the examples you posted:
“Universitäts-Kommission, Universitäts-Sternwarte, Universitäts-Präsidenten, Universitäts-Tag, Universitäts-Stadt, Universitäts-Rat, Universitäts-Klinikum, Universitäts-Gesellschaft, Universitäts-Forschung, Universitäts-Zeitung”
And here is how they are usually written:
Universitätskommission, Universitätssternwarte, Universitätspräsidenten, Universitätstag, Universitätsstadt, Universitätsrat, Universitätsklinikum, Universitätsgesellschaft, Universitätsforschung, Universitätszeitung”
University Commission, University Observatory, University President, University Day, University City, University Council or Senate, University Hospital, University Society, University Research, University Newspaper.
Anyone else other than Think see a theme here?
I'll reiterate for you Think; once you'vejumped through my hoop and performed the task I've set you, I lose interest.
Like now.
Vuggervise, you are good value mate!
He keeps raising your sexuality because he is trying to divert attention from his own closeted fondness for pickling his twig in the springtime :p
“once you've jumped through my hoop and performed the task I've set you” *snigger* You can't beat a good risqué double entendre .. not that I'd want him jumping through my hoop ;-)
Jupppp... I commited 1 (one)a typo at (76)...
It should read...: Er dette forstået..... (R and D keys are contiguous...)
But it still is: “DIT svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul”, dit svagtbegavede fascistiske røvhul.....
Anyhow not bad for being my fourth language.....
You know it.... and I know it

PS: It is rather curious that you don't understand compounding conventions in German, because they are basically the same as the rules for compounding in Danish - which is, after all, a language that you have the gall to lecture people on, even though you are so obviously helplessly adrift with it – so Schwarzwälderkirschtortenlieferantenhut and Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft to you.

www.politics.co.ukResidents on the Falklands Islands were waking up with a certain degree of trepidation today, after discovering an Argentine cardinal with firm views on the territorial dispute had become Pope.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has now become Pope Francis, has clear views on the islands, which the Argentines call 'Las Malvinas'. Last year, during a Mass to mark the 30th anniversary of the war, he said the islands belonged to Argentina.
“We come to pray for those who have fallen, sons of the homeland who set out to defend his mother, the homeland, to claim the country that is theirs and they were usurped,” he said. “Many young people were there and could not return. Others returned but none could forget. Many scars, many families destroyed by permanent absence or a return cut short. The country needs to remember them all. The country cannot exclude from its memory any of those who were called; it has to take care of so many hearts with scars and say thank you, to those who remained on the islands or submerged in water, all of them. The country should recognise their scars.”
Three years earlier, he told families of those killed in the conflict: “Go and kiss this land which is ours, and seem to us far away.”
The election of the new pope marks a turbulent week for Falklands Islanders, after they voted overwhelmingly to remain a British overseas territory. But initial responses from the territory were cautiously optimistic.
“He must be seen as pope first and where he comes from should not figure in the equation,” Monsignor Michael McPartland, apostolic prefect in the Falklands, told the Independent. ”But I would also like to think he would have a beneficial impact and perhaps be able to express some soothing words that wo
After meeting those sturdy, God fearing Islanders he might start to understand what's important here and finally divorce Roman Catholicism from its perceived love for facism.

Excellent posts.

You need tired old dover to make an appearance.
No need to save “Face” in here.......... ...... I have no “Face” in here.
It seems imperative for you to try to deny my Scandinavian provenance…..
Other Turnips in here have tried to deny my Argentinean citizenship!
Some have even accused me of being English! (That one did hurt)
Many turnips seem also to believe that I have many names…
Nothing further from the truth…
Fact is, I'm just an average, first generation Argentinean citizen of Scandinavian descent who speaks tolerably some 7~8 languages and is thoroughly pissed by the colonial ambitions of a Northern Hemispheric Nuclear Bully (read: England) in the South Atlantic.
No more..... No less.

“Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who has now become Pope Francis, has clear views on the islands, which the Argentines call 'Las Malvinas'. Last year, during a Mass to mark the 30th anniversary of the war, he said the islands belonged to Argentina.”
The Mass to mark the 30th anniversary of the conflict was offered by Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, not Pope Francisco.
Can you imagine the Arshbishop of Canterbury giving a memorial service for the British fallen in the Falklands saying that the Islands were not British????
Or that the British fallen had died for nothing?
That is what Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio would have been saying to the families of the Argentine fallen if he had not said that the “Malvinas” were Argentine!!!!!
As Pontifex Maximus of the Catholic Church, Francis will not take sides in the Falklands dispute, at the most he will trot out the very tired formula: “would like to see peaceful negotiations between the two countries...” just like every other country that has been bothered by CFK!!!!!

Get real you feeble-minded twerp. Where have I attempted to deny your Scandinavian provenance? If that was my motive, then repeatedly referring to you as a Swede would be a strange way of going about it.
I'm just poking fun at the fact that your mastery of the Danish language - a language which for some strange reason you keep trying to address me in - is quite atrocious and nothing close to the level you delude yourself it is at ... but then of course, self-delusion is the one thing you repeatedly demonstrate a mastery of.
So stick that in you box an blow your brains out, you rancid little genocidal fascist pig.
You say...:
“Where have I attempted to deny your Scandinavian provenance?”
I say...:
well..... Right from the beginning.
That’s the problem with you ”Insulting Turnips”
You forget what you write between all your insults.
I quote :
”....... (Isolde) Trust me,Think isn't Danish - no Danes gives a monkey's about either of the Battles of Copenhagen and knows that 1500 years of alliances with the UK supersedes a few minor skirmishes. If Think claims to be Danish, then this half-Danish Norwegian is calling out the liar.”

PS:
Ian Hansen's origins are still Norwegian...
Ask any Kelper.
And nothing there demonstrates your utterly banal assertion that I have attempted to deny your Scandinavian provenance .. it denied Danish heritage (which, by your own repeated admission, I was quite about). So that is your claim in tatters on the floor, along with most of the other dross that is ejaculated from that rancid mouth of yours. In fact, it is you who went to great lengths to try to deny the fact that I was a Scandinavian - not only under your Think identity, but also under several of your other unconvincing sockpuppets - and you have even done it on this very thread, if you care to look back through your posts. So perhaps a case of the hypocrite accusing me of what he know he himself is guilty as sin of, eh?
But on the subject of your identity, you don't do yourself any favours by constantly changing your own tune. You have often denied that you are Argentinian - insisting that you are Uruguayan - but now you suddenly claim to be Argentinian (of Scandinavian heritage).
PS: I didn't say Ian Hansen wasn't Norwegian - I said he had a Danish name. Just for once in your pitiful little life, do yourself a favour, get your facts right and give this habitual cretinous torturing of the truth a rest.
PPS: This constant reference to turnips is quite hilarious for a freak who repeatedly claims that his heritage is from the one country that has a type of turnip (the rutabaga, aka the Swedish turnip .. hence 'swede') named after if :D
You are confusing me with an Uruguayan poster called Mr. Guzz....
I remember him quite well.....
He did also speak Danish and Swedish....
A good socialist boy, I remember.
Maybe, if you insult less and “Think” more you would remember better....
Insult less? Pots and kettles. I only insult you when you have insulted me, you rank little hypocrite.
As for Guzz, that was you using another identity - and everyone knows that, because he mysteriously knew thinks that only you had been told.
You say:
“As for Guzz, that was you using another identity - and everyone knows that, because he mysteriously knew thinks that only you had been told.”
I say...:
“things that only I had been told.”?
And how was I told about those “Things”?
As far as I know we have only communicated through these pages.
And, as far as I know, everybody can read all what is written on here.
You sound a little bit paranoid, Mr.Skåre....
And you sound like a habitual liar moving on to yet another bizarre claim, after all your other bizarre claims have been shot down in flames. As for the paranoid, that is a bit rich given that paranoid drivel you have posted over and over again in the posts above.
Just give it rest, Think, before you choke on that smoke billowing from your pants.
Facts are facts and I don't need to prove anything. You haven't proved a single one of your bizarre claims – all of which have been shot down in flames up above - in fact, instead of proving them you just move on to another bizarre claim and hope that the previous ones have been forgotten. So basically, just you typical sad little flamebaiting troll.
But everyone, please take not that Think takes care not to deny anything, because he knows that every word of it is true.
Over to you, Tingeling.
Dodging the question huhhh.... your “hung like a horse” hunk....
How did you ever told me, only me, and nobody but me some “Things” ?
Over to you, søde.
I'm not dodging anything, I am just playing you at your own game.
1) Rather than insult you, I should stop and think. Not only do you never stop to think, but you are free and easy with the insults in pidgin Danish .. which you no doubt think you can wash your hands off simply because others don't understand them.
2) I have supposedly claimed that Ian Hansen is Danish, when none of the posts here indicate any such thing.
3) I am determined to rubbish your Scandinavian provenance – yet nowhere have I done that and the only evidence offered to support that claim is a post from 11 months ago where I quite clearly wasn't doing what it purported to show I was doing (unless Denmark now miraculously constitutes the whole of Scandinavia).
4) I am paranoid .. says the certifiable freak with a multiple-personality disorder - not to mention a perverted turnip fetish and an abnormal preoccupation with other peoples' sexual orientations - who earlier in the thread had an irrelevant paranoidal rant about what he is accused of.
Want me to carry on? You haven't supported a single one of those bizarre claims, yet now you expect me to prove what everyone and their dog knows - namely that you post under multiple identifies .. and do so with glaring transparency.
The truth is that you are just a tiresome liar, a clueless dunderhead and a rabid fascist troll. It is my own fault for being stupid enough to take the bait, but that doesn't change the truth of what you are. Socialist? Yeah right .. you don't even know the meaning of the word and if you are a socialist, then I am Evita Peron.
With that, you will get no further response until you have backed up your claims with solid irrefutable evidence.
Still dodging the question...., your “hung like a horse” hunk....
How did you ever told me, only me, and nobody but me some “Things” ?
Telepathy?
Over to you, again søde.
“Dodging the question” followed by spelling errors.
Everyone else:
ROFL
See what I mean about him being obsessed with me being a “hunk” and “hung like a horse”? Don't ever tell me that is 'normal' for a heterosexual ;-)
Yes it is quite amusing that he raises the topic of homosexuality at the drop of a hat for no reason whatsoever when replying. Almost as if he sees it as a weaponised admission of weakness. I've repeatedly tried to tell him he is too old and hence not my type. But there are dirty old men in every country.
I must admit that I'm jealous of the description you get though. He just keeps calling me an “Ozzie”, so can't even get my nationality right. Mind you after reading about his confusing array of identities it doesn't surprise me as he can hardly keep his own nationality straight.
He's a Swede you say? Probably why he claimed to be 104% Aryan on another thread. Not sure where he got that extra 4% from though. No wonder he is so bitter. His parents CHOSE Argentina for a BETTER life than Northern Europe.
Oh God, nothing has ever screamed FAIL louder than that. No wonder he covets the Falklands so much. Too old and poor to emigrate back to a wealthy country that can look after its elderly, he looks across the water at a small nation that is almost Scandinavian in its wealth and lifestyle and sees the salvation from his parents poor country choice.
I have actually visited Denmark and can state without doubt that Argentina has almost no chance of ever approaching that level of wealth. And let's not even get started on the streak of fascism that seems to run through Argentina's politics.
You say...:
”....him (Think) being obsessed with me being a “hunk” and “hung like a horse”
I say...:
I just remember your sophisticated flirt with Chère Squatterette Pom Isolde last year ;-)
Dont you?....:
”@61 lsolde Naturally .. with the bonus that we are all hung like horses :)”
en.mercopress.com/2012/04/03/argentine-invasion-of-the-falklands-a-profound-wrong-says-pm-cameron#comment109846
Charming......
But then again he has variously claimed that I am 0.00% Norwegian, varying percentages of turnip and a 100% hung like a horse Norwegian hunk. Whilst 6'4” is admittedly no shrimp, I'm not sure how he deduces the contents of the trousers ... unless he has secretly been stalking me around the cafés and bars of Copenhagen, London and Bodø.
To be fair, there were a lot of Swedish NAZIs who had to make a sharpish exit to South America when their collaboration with the Germans became common knowledge, so his story isn't beyond the realms of possibility and certainly explains his fervently fascist and anti-British leanings.
Don't you start again....
1) I never claimed to be 104% Swedish Aryan......; just 104% Aryan.
2) You remembered my Ghanian citizenship! How sweet of you......
3) After the first language test, I fully accepted your “Norwegity”......
4) Bodø's pizzarias, matey, Bodø's pizzarias.....
5) Not nearly as many Swedish as Danish or Norwegians in the 5th Viking, min lille ven.
6) I luuuuuv all things English*, as long as they keep off the South-Atlantic.
* (Except lukewarm,watery & flat English ale.....)
But since the fart pointed us to that part of the conversation, it is interesting, in the light about his earlier false accusations about me rubbishing his Scandinavian heritage, to note his comment to me: “You are as Norwegian as I am British.....:0,00%. Just another fake British insulting Turnip............. “

Well and truly hoisted on his own petard.
PS:And do feel free to remind him about Bodø's pizzerias .. the test I passed with flying colours whilst he and his lame sockpuppets crashed and burned because they couldn't figure out how to Google the name of a town properly.
You can remember what a person said a year ago on an obscure message board? How sad is that?
Well, he does have to maintain an extensive index to keep track of which of his “many” (according to his earlier comments) multiple online personalities claimed what .. especially when half the time he is actually conversing with himself :-)
Are you gay as well.............? Well....................... I never ;-)
By the way...... How do you know Isolde is straight?
Telepathy again?
I told you before....., I had my doubdts about you being Norwegian...., but you passed the language test with honours.
You are a “Think” certified Norwegian.
I still remember you discussing for hours with that Turnip (can't recall his name) about how many pizzarias they were in Bodø. I couldn't believe you wasted so much energy on that Turnip!
It was quite amusing................
I think you will find that very few lesbians will ask whether Norwegian men are still “the spunkiest in Europe?” ... en.mercopress.com/2012/04/03/argentine-invasion-of-the-falklands-a-profound-wrong-says-pm-cameron#comment109846
So all this time you got it wrong, it was “spunky”, not “hunky”.
Who, Tipsy Think? Don't go denying your own alter ego .. anyway, you have room to talk, because you jumped on his bandwagon and accused me of being in the wrong :)
That doesn't exclude BI's does it?
Bi the way she's into leather and dungeons......
Mr.Tipsy Tink it was!
What a Turnip he was...
I suspect he was from Bulgaria...
But I was on your side on that one, laddie.....
As far as I remember I just pointed out you had forgotten one Pizzaria northeast from Bodø's city center.
So any woman who is into leather and dungeons is a bi? I think you would have a problem making that assumption hold up to scrutiny :)
A woman who is into leather and dungeons is not necessarily a Bi.
But it's certainly a step in the right direction.......;-)
The Argentines do not want dialogue with people born on the islands, if their case was solid they would have showed up.
They are scared of the islanders.
Either way, she is welcome to accompany me on my next visit to www.torturegarden.com/ ;-)
See........................ You are flirting again................. With a Woman! ;-)
”Excuse my dirty heterosexual mentality ;-)
No, old dirty Hetero sex-predators, like you, are just creepy :-(
I agree! He is starting to creep me out a bit too. I've never met anyone on any forum that is so ready and quick to raise another poster's sexuality without any reason.
I'm sure he thinks he is being extremely cunning and wily, but sexual predator hit the nail on the head.
It's like verbal frottage to him and skin crawling to the rest of us.
Ack, “verbal frottage”!
Ha ha ha!!!
He is so obviously titillated by “one-handed typing”. Ewwwww!!!
I am trying not to visualise this.
I know I I shouldn't bait him but its just so easy. He can't resist biting back.
I've got him so busy jumping through hoops he doesn't even realising what he is saying until it is too late.
And sorry about the visual. But I guarantee that your skin is crawling only half as much as mine is.
:-)
