Did I miss something?
Yes, Jorge, you miss just about everything. You've never been to the Falklands so you wouldn't know either way...
Apr 09th, 2010 - 07:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0OMG is there casinos there???
Apr 09th, 2010 - 07:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0I know everything. don't forget it!!!
Yes Jorge, you forgot to tell, that the tourist has to be protected by bodybilders/bodygards especially when it is dark or darkening or otherwise .....
Apr 09th, 2010 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, for Jorge, a holiday isn't complete without a visit to a casino? I am not surprised - after all, Jorge has been gambling with his credibilty ever since he started posting in MercoPress;-)

Apr 13th, 2010 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps the Falklands markets itself to the traveller who doesn't want to go to casinos, who doesn't want to get drunk in night clubs or visit crowded sun kissed beaches. But instead markets itself to the traveller who wants to see remote places, pristine enviroments abundant wildlife in a wholly unique setting?
I don't know about you Jorge but I would rather have memories of stunning pristine landscapes unique remote places, that I will remember for the rest of my days....rather than spending a weeks wages getting plastered in a sweaty night club and having a hangover that incapcitates you for the next two days...what an achievment and a story to tell the grandchildren?
You can find a casino and a nightclub in every corner of the globe and I must say they are wholly un-different between continents, except in south Africa where they have shoot outs on the dance floor as an added attraction.
The Falklands are seen as a little bit of sanity 300 miles off the coast of South America. A little bit of Britain, stable and free, a beacon to, and covetted by, its bigger, bullying and envious neighbours;-))))))
