Oct 08th, 2015 - 09:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Excellent true history of the Falkland Islands and a total rebuff of all the Argie lies.
An effigy, Christ Mercopress that is the best one yet, obviously no idea the meaning of effigy.

Oct 09th, 2015 - 12:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I thought the Brittos were past “imperialism and colonialism”, at least that's what the platoon of Brittos here has been telling me for 4 years.
Don't tell me?
ANGLOS WILL BE ANGLOS? (let's remember what this succinct phrase means:
PECKSNIFFIAN, DOUBLE-FACED, DUPLICITOUS, HYPOCRITICAL, and... just dead wrong usually.)
rules the waves?...
Oct 09th, 2015 - 02:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0britannia??...LOL
and an “effigy” of the old b*atch?...LOL x 1 MILLION
and what material is it made of?

toy coin for a toy society
“Stool, Britannia! Britannia, stool you crave; Britons ever shall deprave.”
Oct 09th, 2015 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0And Argentina always always will waive the rules.
Oct 09th, 2015 - 04:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Aww look at the Argentine trolls getting all upset over a coin!
Oct 09th, 2015 - 05:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0A coin commissioned, minted and used in a free society. A coin that has more worth than the Argentine peso, and all the trolls can do is gnash their teeth impotently.
It's really amusing to watch them squirm with their own inadequacies.

LOL, brilliant !!
I can imagine thier troops singing that as they retreat from better trained forces, and Kicilarf leading the chorus as tries to wriggle out of financial obligations
Sail on La Camporas yacht, and get that sinking feeling. Bahahahaha
Oct 09th, 2015 - 09:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Judging by the bilious reactions from the Nationalist Peronists .I think this coin will be a big success. I will definitely be watching out and purchasing one.
Oct 09th, 2015 - 10:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3. Just taking a breather. Plenty of time. Just imagine TWO 70,000 tonne aircraft carriers arriving in the Rio de la Plata and launching wave after wave of Apache attack helicopters. You lie, so obviously we can. We'll call you an “imminent threat” and a “clear and present danger”.
Oct 09th, 2015 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4. Ever used Google to look at your Belgrano Naval Base. There seems to be a destroyer lying on its side almost completely under water. The waves are on our side! We sank one Belgrano. Shall we do it again?
@5. Stooled on you, didn't we? Would you like us to do it again? We can control the weather. 115 Typhoons arriving over your cesspit!
Typhoons! A squadron or two of Sopwith Camels would be overkill.

People the world over, are laughing at the Argentine “FAIL-boat”!!!
Very patient the Argentines?
Oct 09th, 2015 - 11:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They can wait.
Shame I won't be around to see what the 300th anniversary coin looks like.
What beautiful representations of our Queen and our Britannia. Can't wait to order some from my coin dealer in London. Thank you, Falklands, for such a lovely tribute to our classic song which always fills us with pride and joy.
Oct 11th, 2015 - 03:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now leave the Argentines to wail and splutter about their worthless currency which no one in the world wants.
Latest currency, bond and credit ratings from Standard and Poors:
Argentina: SD (Junk, avoid like the plague) United Kingdom: AAA (The highest, most respected rating, get as much as you can)
I see paulcedron(cara de orto podrido), Great_coral_aTrol and Marquitos Alejandrito, our resident juvenile trolls, were quick with their usual inane comments.
Oct 12th, 2015 - 08:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is pleasing to see that a coin can engender such idiocy!

Oct 12th, 2015 - 10:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is wonderful to know that these deranged individuals are choking on a British coin. A British coin! What power we have over these saddos.

Oct 12th, 2015 - 09:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0what that plastic coin engenders is:
laughter.
scorn.
schadenfreude.
and a bit of loathing.

We all have to acknowledge that sad boobies like this chappie have only a basic education and are crippled by an extremely childish knowledge of English. Because of their reduced intellect they are incapable of forming human relationships and so seek an outlet for their failures by writing puerile nonsense here. We just need to humour and pity them. Pobrecitos.
They live in a ghastly, failed country and have no means of escaping to a better life in Great Britain like so many thousands of Argentines have done. No wonder they are in such mental torment.

Oct 13th, 2015 - 05:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you were a rational adult then you would just ignore it.
By you and your acolytes comments it just shows that it just makes you bristle with impotent rage. Apart from posting inane comments, there is absolutely nothing you can do vis a vis the Falklands sovereignty.
However it's just your way of venting your feelings of inferiority..we know that.
Ponder on the following..........
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”
Railing about your inadequacies is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to do but it won't get you anywhere.

Could it be? could it?? You are surely not BottyBoyPaulie the 4th???
I've been away, but now I'm back..........
Did I miss Paulie toilet cleaner the 3rd? What ever happened to him?
Did someone flush him down the U bend with the rest of the turdies??
How the peso? Are you having a nice stagflation?
Are you wiping you a*se with grass and leaves yet?

Oct 14th, 2015 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please don't be too hard on poor little pcIV. He can't spend much time here scrawling his babyish inanities because he keeps getting dragged away for even more potty-training. Remember that the mess of crap he leaves here is simply more of the same he leaves all over his smelly backside.
