    ”Bermuda Premier Michael Dunkley called for the British Overseas Territories (BOTs) to present a united front in key areas”

    BOT´s key areas?
    like what for example?
    smuggling?
    money laundering?
    tax evasion?

    guess the best this mr donkey can do is to shut the fuck up.

    and tell that asshole in the middle of the first pic that he forgot to put his pants on.

    What an ignorant moron you are! Have you never heard of Bermuda shorts? - they are de rigor for all men in Bermuda, including visitors.

    Your comment shows exactly what an ignorant fool you are! How's your Asperger's today?

    Yup I cannot tell if the guy is wearing pants or not.
    However he appears to be wearing Yellow Shorts. The other delegates are wearing Trousers.

    The Falkland Islands do very well with the Sheep rearing industry and selling fishing licenses for their territorial waters.
    And of course the exploration activity has found sizable reserves of oil.
    All BOT's also do pretty well from Tourism. Helps of course they have generally much lower crime rates than say for example South America.
    The GDP of all BOT's is again rather higher than that experienced in SA.

    The Argentines are going around saying that their claim to sovereignty over one of the BOT the Falklands, South Georgia and Sandwich has the support of Bermuda and other BOTs ! What is true in that?... have some of these leaders taken a few Argentine pieces of silver to sell out their friends?

    It confuses many Latin Americans no end that the BOTs are completely happy with their current constitutional status and don't want independence or (shudder) to join with a neighbouring dysfunctional state like Argentina.

    All 16 should fully support the Falklands as a matter of course,

    And together condemn Argentina.

    Cant you guys recognise Bermuda Shorts when you see them? Ian Flemming must be turning in his grave!

    As for Pauly, those shorts have got him all excited. Pants are what you wear UNDER your shorts (except if you are from the US).

    Cleaning up puke today Pauly? Or are there no ships docking today?

    @1. The most important “key areas” are these.
    1. Airstrips capable of take-offs and landings by fast jets, tanker aircraft, transports and providing fuel;
    2. Harbours for surface warships, submarines and auxiliary vessels with fuel available;
    3. Exclusion of all south american nationals from BOTs;
    4. Acceptance of surface to air anti-aircraft missile batteries;
    5. Military control wherever appropriate.

    You ignorant little boy - “pants” in proper English are what you call “calzoncillos”! What Americans call “pants” are trousers in the original English.

    I suggest the so called English experts here have a look at the Oxford English dictionary. If you want to speak American thats fine but dont call it English. Pauly are you on puke duty this week or is it turds? Did those nasty English cruise passengers leave you any tips or did you have another tyre burning and intimidation session for those 80 year olds? Warning, the British government is sprinkling their number with Royal Marine Commandos in disguise, tbe sort that your troops ran for their lives from… Watch it.

    Got it?

    The key areas would only interest you if they involved;
    1/- Being in debt up to their eyeballs.
    2/-Burning lots of tyres.
    3/-Kicking Indigenous people and depriving them of any rights( as they are considered 'flora and fauna' by South American Spanish and Portuguese implants).
    4/- Talking macho bullshit while achieving nothing.
    5/-Making their countries go backwards instead of progressing.
    6/-Equipping their defence forces with white flags in their ration packs.
    7/-Issuing medals and military pensions to people that didn't fight or who were in prison during the war they were supposed to fighting in.

    the whole bunch of ridiculous 4th class plebs of the picture should be jailed for the sake of mankind.

    not only because they represent all the corruption of the 4th class english colonies, but also, and more important, because they are aesthetic criminals with those ridiculous outfits, faces, and overall look.

    we can also add kirchner the mare, fatty pig-ardo, the old bitch of england and all of you benny-hillbillies.

    by the way, it seems the old bitch stole state poverty fund to heat buckingham palace, eh??

    what a lovely old bitch you have there.

    Nah, it doesnt compute does it?

    Those shorts would suit your job Pauly, clearing up puke etc, it would avoid stains on your turnups. I got it wrong you are not a Cartonero after all, just one of the untouchables.

    Is that supposed to be English? American or British English, it doesn't matter to me, but do try to write something that someone can understand.
    If you left out the filth it might make it more intelligible. As well as making you look less of a pillock.

    I believe I might have become aware of the identity of paulcedron.

    If I am correct then all I can say he is a sorry individual of whom nobody should take much notice. He has a very large chip on his shoulder and I am sure his mother dropped him on his head when he was an infant. This would, of course, account for his erratic behaviour and his foul language.

    'Paul Cedron' is a sock puppet of Think's, one of many. I think he's providing a valuable public service in making Argentines look like complete idiots, so I don't particularly want to discourage him. I do wonder from time to time what's in it for him, but people do get their entertainment in very strange ways.
