Feb 23rd, 2011 - 07:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are too busy thinking of a reason to make a claim for New Caledonia. So far they have come up with its a long way from France and its an Island.
Feb 23rd, 2011 - 08:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”This all began nine years after the war in 1954 when an advertisement in the Portsmouth News attracted the attention of the young Roger Edwards, together with several other local boys
Feb 24th, 2011 - 12:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Roger Edwards at the time was living with his family at Leydene House (now called Observatory House) in Clanfield. He was working for the Ferris family at North Farm which is just off the Hambledon Road. Roger, attracted by the advert, swiftly mounted his bicycle to find out more. It transpired that a Mr Matthews who lived at Green Lane, Clanfield was recruiting on behalf of a Keith Luxton the Farm Manager at Chartres in the West Falkland Island. He was employing local men for various sheep farms in the Falklands The ship left Southampton on 16 February 1954. Roger had taken the trouble to discover the whereabouts of the Falklands but there were some on the ship who honestly believed they were going to Scotland!”
Mr Edwards should take a few days to relax in nearby Bora Bora, then finally take the long fly back to England where he belongs.
.....and your point is.....??

Feb 24th, 2011 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BILLY TWO HATS, [YUL] Be sorry playing with my XBOX, mind you THINKing about
Feb 24th, 2011 - 02:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0MARCOS and RUFUS [I] FOGGETIT, but while smoking with NICODIN we notice that-
MALEN has been at the cookie jar again . Not many Argentine names of any worth are they.
The point being , names like the above just like Brussels, just sprout rubbish.
They only insult when they have nothing else to say,
They cant justify there theft so blame others,
Deaf dumb and blind, they cant hear the truth,, cant see the truth, cant speak the truth
Falklands are British, the British are great, and the argies are losers losers losers .
Lalalalala,
just an honest opinion .
Don't know what the point of that was More crap.....he's lived there longer than you've been alive in Argentina :)
Feb 24th, 2011 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If we used your logic....YOU Should crawl up your mothers womb, because THATS where you belong LOL your such a muppet!
In hindsight though this would be a great idea as your mothers womb can shield the rest of the civilized world from your insane parrotlike rants and logic that insults even the intelligence of non-sentient single celled organisms.
On a serious note, this should indeed be an interesting series of discussions, should EU directorates apply to Oversea Territories? And how to deal with undemocratic irredentist claims by Foreign powers...intriguing as well is the lack of a response from nut job Kirchener? A representative of a people who do not supposedly exist on a international forum? Another nail in the coffin of Argentina's bizarre logic.... tut tut :)
your logic may be lost,
Feb 24th, 2011 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but kircherner , well, she has no logic but her own
Marcos what business is it of yours if a person chooses the Falkland islands as his home. As long as he complied with Falkland island law at the time what's the problem. if you want to live there why don't you apply for residency. Or are you mindful of the fact they're picky about who they let in.
Feb 24th, 2011 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@10Charle, don't put ideas in his head. l don't want the idiot for a neighbour.
Feb 24th, 2011 - 10:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 010 Charle “As long as he complied with Falkland island law”
Feb 25th, 2011 - 05:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Which law? The same law that keeps the murderers of Royal Marine Alan Addis free?
More crap..you really are a hopeless loser....in order for a law to work you to need find somebody to prosecute and arrest them based on credible evidence.
Feb 25th, 2011 - 08:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0So the relevance of your above idiotic outburst was....Nothing more than your fanatical hatred of anything Falklands and British trying to win an argument....because you have no other way to win one :)
looooser!
So do you have an opinion on the above article Milk Boy?....Nope thought not...You might have to ask your mum for pocket money to buy one then hahaa!
Spanish police helped Britain win Falkland War
Feb 25th, 2011 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0IN May 1982 Spanish police probably altered the course of the Falklands War after stumbling on Argentinean plans to blow up British warships in Gibraltar harbour. A recently reissued documentary, directed by Jesus Mora, refutes Sunday Times claims that the French intelligence service alerted Britain to the plot.

#12 Marcos (the Spaniard, from Spain)! Are you saying there are no unsolved crimes in Argentina?
Feb 25th, 2011 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentines go on about the Belgrano sunk outside of the “Exclusion” zone, what if they had succeeded in sinking some RN ships at Gibraltar?
Feb 26th, 2011 - 09:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thats a lot further outside said zone. Oh of course, one rule for you but a different one for me..............How very Argentine.
“if they had succeeded”
Feb 27th, 2011 - 11:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That would require them first succeeding at something
