Falklands’ oil equipment arrives in vessel with giant computer-controlled kite
One of the strangest ships ever to visit the Falkland Islands this week lay at anchor in Port William after making a hasty departure from FIPASS. Had it not left the dock, an ongoing legal wrangle involving its owners could have caused it to be detained there indefinitely – rendering a significant proportion of FIPASS unusable by other vessels, perhaps for a very long time.

Disclaimer & comment rulesI've already spotted a significant design flaw, what happens when the bugger suddenly loses lift and falls into the water. Then you've got 600 square metres of expensive kite and rope tangled in your prop shaft....and no ones going anywhere :(

I can call you a plank because you have provided us with the evidence and because being an idiot isn't illegal (although it should be IMHO).
You can't call someone corrupt because that would be illegal and harms their reputation.
And I didn't say I was going to sue you. Keep up.
Nope, accusing an individual of a crime, without a shred of proof is libel.

“The FSA accepts that Mr Clifton’s conduct was not deliberate, in that he did
not consider at the time whether the information he was given was inside
information; he was however reckless in that he failed to consider what should

information was generally available would result in his requiring Byron to

had an existing shareholding in Desire. It wished to increase its shareholding
over the long term and did not seek to realise any profit after the
announcement on 25 February 2008 (which supports the FSA’s conclusion
that Mr Clifton’s conduct was not deliberate).“

he was stupid and amateurish, but certainly not corrupt, making false accusations based on not reading your sources, dear me, you wouldn't make a good journalist :)
Martin, Malvina (as opposed to Malvinas) is an old Scots Gaelic name for girls, since the majority of current inhabitants are descendent of the original Scots and Cornish (traditional Gaelic speaking areas in the UK) settlers, it is no surprise many words of the old country were present.

Others have already demonstrated your stupidity, but i'll add to it i guess.
The Scottish term Malvina comes from folklaw of the celtic bard, Ossian who had a daughter called Malvina. She fell inlove with a warrior called Oscar, he died and Malvina's tears turned purple heather white, It is the reason why Scottish people wear white heather as good luck.
The exact date of the story is unknown, it is thought to be around 600BC. A Few years before the falklands were an issue.
ACTION
Mar 30th, 2011 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 01.1.
The FSA gave you, Darwin Lewis Clifton (“Mr Clifton”) and Byron Holdings Limited (“Byron”), a Decision Notice on 19 January 2009 that, for the reasons listed below and pursuant to section 123 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“the Act”), the FSA had decided:
(1)
to impose a financial penalty of £59,500 on you, Mr Clifton, for requiring Byron to engage in behaviour which, if engaged in by Mr Clifton, would have amounted to market abuse between 19 November 2007 and 8 February 2008 (“the relevant period”); and
(2)
to impose a financial penalty of £86,030 on you, Byron Holdings Limited, for engaging in market abuse in the relevant period in breach of section 118(2) of the Act.
REASONS FOR THE ACTION
Summary
2.1.
Desire Petroleum plc (“Desire”) was founded in 1996 in order to explore for oil and gas in the Falkland Islands. It is a company incorporated in the UK whose shares are quoted on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”). Mr Clifton was a founding director of Desire in 1996 and has been a non-executive director since May 2005 (he was not a director at Desire between November 1999 and May 2005). He is also a director of and shareholder in Byron Holdings Limited (“Byron”), a Falkland Islands incorporated company.
2.2.
Mr Clifton was aware, by 19 November 2007 at the latest, that Desire was in advanced discussions with another company in relation to an agreement for that company to “farm-in” to Desire’s exploration prospects, i.e. enter into a joint venture drilling arrangement. This constituted inside information. Desire issued an announcement on 25 February 2008 that it had concluded the farm-in agreement (which was still at that stage subject to certain awards and approvals by the Falkland Islands Government). At close of trading on that day Desire shares were worth 46.5p, a rise of around 36% on the price at close of the previous trading day.

Mr Clifton directed Byron to purchase shares in Desire on fo

However we are talking about the word “MALVINA”, you know the Malvina house house hotel? The one you had a little hissy fit about back up in 32? And suddenly thought that because of its similarities it must therefore be referring to the islands? and thus the product of some grand conspiracy XD
I shall remind you:
”I was looking at the Penguin News site, (boring) clicked on the MALVINA House link.
www.malvinahousehotel.com/index.php?page=history
”(Malvina is an old Scottish name, once popular in the Falklands, and is unconnected with the Argentine name for the Islands).“
As you can clearly see there is the removal of the letter ”S”, so by removing S from MALVINAS it becomes a totally different word, completely unconnected in any way to the word MALVINAS, its just a mere coincidence that the Anglicised spelling of an ancient Gaelic name, happens to be similar to the Iberianised spelling of a Breton name.
You really are pretty dense if you have not yet figured that out yet :)
par example (an example more suited to your clearly lower standards of intelliegnce) - OOOH look your name Martin is like the word the word “Martian” but with the word “a” removed, must you therefore be from the planet Mars? Because of the eeeer....similarities between the two names?
Of course not Thick Arse!
