    On the basis of the British invasion of Río de la Plata I have been able to establish that Argentina is in fact owned by Great Britain.

    I have been tabling a series of motions at the UN in order to officially establish this claim to Argentina. There is historical president for this, on the basis of an almost 200 year invasion of the Falkland Islands by a German and some British ex patriots, Argentina claims the Falkland Islands.

    I can establish as historical fact that Río de la Plata was invaded by Britain and that this claim was never renounced, there is over 200 years of continued British claim to Argentina.

    This makes all Argentines suject to British law and taxation. I am planning to get Buenos Aires renamed Port of Britain. Argentina will be called Bairdland, after the leader of British forces in the first occupation of Río de la Plata.

    It is important to state that this did not happen just once - as in the Argentine claim to the Falklands - but twice!!!

    Hmmmmmmmmm............

    Still no answer from Mr Beef................
    Usually, his resounding silence on Malvinas oil articles mean one thing........

    That little piece of information provided by Despair Petroleum, contractor of the Ocean Guardian, about the rig possibly leaving the area in the first quarter of 2012 may be true after all.

    Good news.........

    You did read the other bit of news about another rig making its way down shortly didn't you think?

    And you did also know that rigs move don't they? So the Ocean Guardian may go away for a bit, and then come back :)

    And you did also read the bit which said: “may result” and “there is no end date for the current contract”.

    I have a box of straws here, I will send them down to you and you can grasp at them till your hearts content.....

    “DESIRE Petroleum shares fell in London after the company announced Ocean Guardian may leave the South Atlantic early next year.” WHEN? ALMOST SAME DAY AS ARTICLE ABOVE. Still believe in Mercopress? I wouldn't. Too biased. Extremely biased. Not (only) because Argentina says so. Look at http://www.penguin-news.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=items&cid=16:main-news&id=126:desire-shares-lower

    Think - there are more than just this drilling rig in the world! If RKH/DS come up with a find in the well to be drilled in dec they may press to retain the rig back after it moves to Argos and drills their 2-3 wells.
    Or they may be glad of a break in the pressure of drilling to allow more time to study results so far and plan another drilling session in say 2012/2013.
    It will have been here for 24months by March - not bad when the best estimate initially was for a 6 month progremm
    Who Knows! - I dont - and NEITHER do YOU!!
