Feb 24th, 2012 - 07:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is the country Danny Burger thinks will attack the UK lol!
Feb 24th, 2012 - 11:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In all seriousness though, I've spent time in Spain, like the place and the people and feel for them. I hope Spain is able to make a recovery in the near future since this economic misery causes a lot of good, decent and honorable people incredible hardship and misery.
I am glad the UK continues to help Spain financially and offer support through these bad times.
AS if the Uk is not doing it hard with the recession!! elderly folks are dying from the cold because they cannot put on their heaters due to the high cost in heating! and let us not forget the riots in The UK a symbol of decadence in morality and economics.
Feb 25th, 2012 - 12:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Since when has The Uk helped Spain financially!! If the UK cannot feed their own.
Yes, elderly people are dying in the UK because of the cold. We typically do something about that, like the people who don't need heating money give theirs to the poorer folk. At least pensioners haven't had all their savings and pensions destroyed through inflation, and the Argentinian national pension company is joke. Get back to eating your tree-bark soup.

Maybe we should give “aussie sunshine” an ocker language test like Think gives Argentines tests who don't toe the malvinas party line!

Feb 25th, 2012 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK contributes over 65 Billion to the EU each year!!! And a lot of that is going to Spain and has done so now for many years.
Not to mention the forthcoming bailout proposed by the ECB & IMF will be paid yet again in part with British money.
@8 Well, son, an Aussie salute to you. The question is: are you a bitzer? Or a brown-eyed mullet? Are you speaking from your clacker? Are you a figjam? Are your kangaroos loose in the top paddock? Is it time for you to get your port? Or are you worth a liquid laugh?

@11 ChrisR,
Feb 25th, 2012 - 09:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0lt could be our old cobber, JohnJones.
But he was smarter than this bloke.
Johnny boy(if it is you),
Never heard anyone say “fart a crowbar”
& its “couldn't drive a stick up a cat's arse” when talking about engine power.
Your idioms are out of context. You're a fake, mate.
l'd say an Argentine thats read a bit about Australian slang.
Drongo
Isolde..I see you don´t have many aussie mates if you did you would have heard of Aussie slang I have used, but I presume you guys are all pommies so it doesn´t surprise me!! we´re getting a lot of your folk coming down under, something must be wrong in the old mother country, but never mind we welcome you with open arms!! The real issue here is The Falklands. The kelpers are getting more and more isolated as each day goes by from South America and they are roughing it out. So come on lads let´s have a fair dinkum forum here with intelligent and conclusive suggestions on how to fix this problem.Bashing this person or bashing that person is getting nobody nowhere.We need real suggestions to help the kelpers and bring down the presssure of war (we don´t need it).So lads,what do you think on
Feb 26th, 2012 - 01:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0double souvereign rule for the Falklands, Argentine and British? This would please Argentina and help the kelpers keep their way of life and have connection to the mainland.
As Dame Edna would say. “ Goodnight possums”

So what do you think of sharing australian sovereignity with Indonesia?
@13 aussie sunshine,
Feb 26th, 2012 - 07:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0l stand by what l have said. You're a fake.
Sure, there's Aussie slang.
A lot of what you are coming out with is stage Australianisms.
Like stage lrish, not used very much by the general population.
l have know many Australians & spent a lot of time in Australia.
Never heard ANYONE say “fart a crowbar” & you NEVER accuse anyone of being a “greasy stick up a dog's arse”!
The correct context of this saying could be,“this truck has not got enough power, it couldn't pull a greasy stick out of a dog's/cat's arse”
You are a fake.
My guess is an English speaking Argentine, maybe in Australia, reading up on Aussie slang.
Poltroon.
Agreed Isolde, he's a troll of some description.

@15.... strayans don't say 'lad'..... nor do they say 'goodnight possums' at noon......

Fake Aussie is Fake. I just watched nothing to declare and I feel they should do more turning away of Argfags at the border. It would help Australia no end, and they could use the same reasoning for not letting damaged biological material get past customs.
Feb 26th, 2012 - 09:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0@17Squatter Think,
Feb 26th, 2012 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0You would make alliance with the devil(if he existed!)himself just to get your envious thieving paws on the Falklands.
So a recomendation/praise from you means precisely nothing.
I think Think is incapable of thinking, perhaps he should think about that.

Feb 26th, 2012 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When you're rattling on about Gibraltar, please give a thought to the £600'000'000+interest that you owe us from 1763 for the Manila Ransom. I expect the cheque in the post.
Regards,
Dave 'Bullingdon Riot Club' Cameron.
well as I expected very little intelligence in this forum.
Feb 26th, 2012 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Frank, Indonesia does not have a claim on Australia and in case you did not know both countries get on verywell.
Isolde we use slang down under when we want to but we speak ENGLISH
down here without the slang.
Think, thanks for your comments.
The Uk is getting thrashed in the diplomatic race around the world.
everybody is backing Argentina and the UK is looking silly on every passing day.And what the how is wrong with this newspaper when they are bashing Sean Penn.He has my backing (eventhough I don´t like the man) to express whatever feelings he wishes to express.Those of us born in free societies should Know better than attack FREE SPEECH even if we do not agree with the individual.
This will be my last posting.
regards.
Good.....
Feb 26th, 2012 - 08:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ah Aussie boy, when he says everyone is backing Argentina back in the real world they didn't get a single vote of support over the recent UN conference, amazing level of support that.
Feb 26th, 2012 - 09:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Other than that they've got some South American countries cohered into supporting them and a once great actor who turned into a wife beating wannabe diplomat. He's entitled to free speech as am I when I openly mock him for his hypocrisy.
Good luck with that.....
@54 ... the people from the country that is now known as indonesia were in northern australia long before the white man..... and the javanese are great colonisers... from Aceh to the PNG border....
Feb 27th, 2012 - 12:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Good friends? give it time sunshine.....
LOLOLOLOLOL! Aussie, my arse. Hilarious. Why do pro-CFKC posters need to assume foreign identities? Why do they think it carries more weight to be foreign than Argentine? I am curious.
Feb 27th, 2012 - 01:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0@27 Because of insecurity.
Feb 27th, 2012 - 09:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0@aussie sunshine,(NOT)
Feb 27th, 2012 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0l agree with Frank @ post#26 aussieboy,
lt shows just how little you know.
lndonesia believes that it owns both PNG & Northern Australia.
lndonesia calls its half of the main New Guinea lsland West lrian.
lt calls PNG East lrian & it calls northern parts of Australia South lrian.
That you didn't know this, shows me clearly that you are not Australian.
So Frank is right & you are wrong,
lndonesia DOES have claims on Australia & no they are NOT friends.
Fake.

The Spain 30% people below poverty line it’s not so far from 25% of the UK people below poverty line.
Poverty line has nothing to do with their military power resources. So they can attack you pretty easy at least the have a shitty carrier and you don’t. Or may be the can lean their carrier to Argentinians Who knows?
Can you see how bad you are Mohammed?
@Conqueror
G'Day mate are you really an Aussie? And you are plotting with these kebab eaters? Give us a break mate and become a republic before Mohammeds invade you. Trust me, turbans on the beach would not be nice for tourism.
Anyway I know who you are now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SPjy5RlqFE we forgive you we know now that you are not so responsible for your acts.
@Mohammeds I wouldn’t underestimate aussie_sunshine posts if I would be you can be your only solution to avoid war and have a good relation with Argentina. But as fanatical Mohammed that you are sure you will refuse any pacific solution wating for Sharia law coming from Ukistan.
@30Danyboy,
Feb 29th, 2012 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0l'd say aussie sunshine is an Argentine agent.
Hes certainly not Australian.
Wonder who they'll come up with next?
You show your stupidity by calling us Mohammeds.
And now you're threatening us with war!
You do know what happened to your pathetic army last time, don't you?
Do you want more of the same?
Do you really think that we want anything to do with you lying, threatening, posing idiots?
Get lost, Danyboy.
