Isn’t it great to be British,

Certainly greater than being an Argie...

I have difficulty naming any Argentine explorer of note, they are a bunch of johnny-come-latelys, and would sooner put their hand in your pocket and sell their grandmothers than do anything really honourable, in fact I can't see them ever doing anything that might be a little bit hard, requiring a bit of effort.

AJuan Bautista Ambrosetti
MFrancisco Moreno
SEmilio Scotto
José María Sobral
I'll have to read about those guys, never heard of them before, and I suspect neither has 40 Million RGs
Nov 25th, 2011 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When you think of a famous explorer, one may thing of David Livingston, James Cook, Henry Stanley, Captain Scott, Christopher Columbus. Not those people.
Nov 25th, 2011 - 08:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And Marcos, since when was this a page about teeth? Are you going to start banging on about how we are “violating Argentine territory”, seeing as Argentine territory seems to stretch to just about anything south of the Equator?
i remember a watched BBC documentary tv film which narrated
Nov 25th, 2011 - 09:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0how Scott was inept behind Amudsen ....!!
@4 Marcos Alejandro At what point did it become apparent to you that your post had anything to do with this at all and contributed something intelligent towards the discussion of this page.....
Nov 25th, 2011 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well that was enlightening, Ambrosetti was a guy who investigated the North West of Argentina, and dug a few holes. Moreno followed the Conquest of the Desert and 'discovered' and named everything, maybe if they hadn't killed everyone they could have asked them where things were, and what they were called. Scotto appears to have ridden a Motorcycle a long way, great. Sobral went outside Argentina and tagged along with the Swedish, studied in Europe, banged out 9 kids to a Swedish lass, and then helped his country attempt to establish its late 'claim' to Antarctica.
Nov 25th, 2011 - 11:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Such a creditable exploration team, they must be dead proud these RGs.
9 geo /how Scott was inept behind Amudsen
Nov 26th, 2011 - 12:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0the blog is scott not amudson,
always negative vibes,
Cue Mercosur to complain about our “remilitarisation” of the South Atlantic.
Nov 26th, 2011 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Geo, I can't seem to recall hearing much about the Argentine team in this race...

BUT
everybody could discuss every article if they want here.
l've just finished reading a book by Scotto. He rode a Honda Goldwing around the world for ten years & says he clocked up something like 450,000 kms.
Nov 27th, 2011 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Actually wasn't a bad book.
Seems he was a bit of a casanova too! Or so he says.
Good luck to the boys trekking through British territory.
Stick a few flags here & there so the johnny-come-latelys realise whose territory it is!
HMS Edinbourgh is on it way to ascension isle,
Nov 28th, 2011 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0perhaps something is in the wind?
end the military occupation of Islas Malvinas Argentine, we support a nuclear weapon defence program in south America to rid our land from imperial british occupation, execute the british pirats and all their allyes and agents.
Nov 28th, 2011 - 09:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just try using nukes against us. We'll ensure you are still picking through the rubble of your urban centres half a century from now.

Nov 28th, 2011 - 06:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Again, you want to kill people living peacefully on the Falklands, there no Malvinas.
If your coutry ever gets nuclear weapons and still exibits child like rages and tantrums like they do (with CFK just learning 'not to lose her temper') then guess what may well happen.
Just ONE Astute Class submarine could sit off the coast and destroy ANY target that we wished to in you country and you would not retaliate because if you did Argentina would be destroyed, never to recover.
THOSE ARE THE 'FACTS'.
the civilised world will never allow argentina to play with matches,
Nov 28th, 2011 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0let alone her children, sorry .
