    Last Big Anniversary?? Why? The bulk of the veterans are only in their 50's and 60's. The Queen and thousands of others including many veterans attended a big D-Day anniversary recently with most of them in their 80's.

    They shall not grow old....

    @2 Good evening, Think. And what might you have against Mr Clifton? I'll do some research on him in the interim...
    @3 Jeez Kiwisarg - how about a name change, or something? Do the real Kiwis a favour. They're already trying to get rid of one arsehole tomorrow...

    Ah yes, Mr Clifton. Found guilty of insider trading. At least we charge and find guilty those that have committed fraud and corruption! All they do in Argentina is give them another 4 years!

    As usual the brits will celebrate, and the Argies will throw envy and jealousy at us,

    We will have fun, and they will cry in envy at not being invited,
    They will then start there own celebration at losing, claiming a victory,
    What a world of difference
    Still, I suppose they could lend a few rowing boats and come and watch in awe. lol

    A suggestion for the celebration:
    The possible construction of a coffin with this inscription:
    “Malvinas argentinas”
    The proper burial place would be for the Islanders to decide!
    With best wishes,
    Philippe

    Argentina embarrasses itself Xbox. Even though Argentines seem to lay the blame of the Falklands War on the Junta, the anniversary of the invasion is still celebrated in Argentina.

    And it is our celebration Xbox, we welcome anyone to join us in the celebration of our liberation from aggressive and unwanted forces. And trust me, it’s a big party! Of course the celebration is after we commemorate those who died to liberate us.

    @2 “Comittee”. Uneducated prole.

    @3 Anybody care what you “say”? No!

    @10 But you are just an embarrassment. Goodbye!

    @12 We're also glad that you don't live in the UK or our territories. Although we are generally kind to animals. We like to stun Argies before we slaughter them and feed them to our pigs. Look at that. Pigs eating pigs!

    Don't you Argies just hate it? Warships and combat aircraft you can only dream of. Troops where 1 of ours is worth 10 of yours. And how many members of our Royal Family will be visiting? Don't worry. You won't be forgotten. And we have a very appropriate salute for you. British aircraft and warships will be encouraged to empty their sewage tanks over and around Argentine territory.

    Actually, some of those countries you listed owe alot to us, and are not necessarily pissed off at us. Argentine and chinas new relationship ? Dont you see your country will be used as a pawn by china. You may be growing, but you a very naive if you think that it means that your country is all powerful again.The UK is not beaten, we are still extremely powerful, underestimation was one of your many downfalls 30 years ago.

    Malvinero1 utter rubbish,
    India is a very good friend to Britain; the opium trade is not a country,
    And Nigeria receives a nice little lump sum of overseas aid, does she not,
    as for china, she has not said or done anything to hurt or even suggest they she dislikes Britain, simply not true,
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    China is not that keen on the Americans at this point in time,
    the opium trade finished over a hundred years ago,
    India is in the process of deciding if she will buy our planes,
    And last of all, Nigeria, is urm Nigeria .
    But out of interest, the British government did say publicly that it liked Argentina,
    A one sided argument don’t you think .

    @28 Malvinero1 yes, really.
    The empire brought many 3rd world counrties too a 2nd world status. India is hugely successful, and many other countries have been with our help. Some countries actually preferred being in the empire. Jamaica was a big fan, and some still today wish to go back to the empire .Did you ever talk them ? i think not.

    'Argentine and chinas new relationship
    No??/'

    Your country will be used, and you know it. Its jut because you desperately want someone with creditably as a power to help you, and you dont care if you whore out your country in the process.

    Yeah months of sailing and a few barrels of rum and the disgusting creature might start looking half human.

    Still wouldn't even consider it.

    Am sure Think and Tits would though.
