    I love the narcissism of Argentinians, don't you realise most people don't even know where your country is? You have no army, no money and little respect in the world community. How in the world could this end up being a problem when The Falklands are under UK authority, protection and laws? And that ridiculous Cristina thought changing the law to keep out oil exploration companies would stop them from investing in The Falklands I think all the plastic surgery must be warping her reality.

    Hello Everybody!
    Malvinas are Argentinians. When you understand this point, everything will change. All argentinian people think that MALVINAS are Argentinians. For ever. No doubts for us. So, please, stop with this program. Respect to the argentinian people!

    “I love the narcissism of Argentinians, don't you realise most people don't even know where your country is?” It is not our fault that people are ignorant. Just like your countrymen that in 1982 they had to go to the map to look the place up. Many could not read a map.

    khh...youbig NODDY...I gather that by the number of wars that the RAF participated in, that the RAF surpasses the rgies with with this experience. One happened in our very own Andes, with a Lancasterian. Do you still want want another salvo?

    That particular Lancaster was flying as a civilian airliner and was not on an RAF mission.
