May 07th, 2012 - 06:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0I haven't seen that film for a while. It's still as good today as it was the first time I saw it.
The funniest bit was when they showed the riots in the streets in BA and explained that the Argentine population thought they were winning right up until they lost. The same thing is happening again now. The Malvinista clowns all think they have the upper hand now too. LOL!

May 07th, 2012 - 06:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0De Ja Vu. Me Too. I often get out my videos, ( I have about 7), and watch the Falklands Victory all over again. I am going to put them on DVD , maybe even a memory stick, so that I can be content in my old age. It was a tremendous achievment by the serviceman of Great Britian. Sailing halfway around the world and kicking the living shyte out the regional bully.God Bless The British. God Bless The Falkland Islands. Rule Britannia. Amen.

@5 Asking an argtard not to tell lies is like telling a baby not to drink milk. It's futile, because they're incapable of telling the truth. Look at any of these statements, they're all full of lies.
May 07th, 2012 - 10:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Orange-head seems not only incapable of telling the truth, she's also incapable of answering questions.
she says you are being agressive to argentina,
May 07th, 2012 - 10:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0that in its selve has to be an admittle of humiliation,
a few tiny wind swept rocks with strainded brits on them, are being threatening and agressive to a great big giant of a country like the unmighty argentina, says a lot for her credintials , does it not .
Yiiihaaaaa!!! Bang!! Bang Bang!!! Lets do this preemptive strike thing. Britons!! To arms!!! Attack them and blaim them for having made plans for attacking, I'm sure they have weapons of mass destruction (a brit in a box?) too...

Negocios con Venezuela: otro acuerdo bajo sospecha
A strange company, linked to the presidential campaign of Cristina Kirchner and Julio De Vido, has been exposed as a complicated money laundering scheme with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. ...Tip of the iceberg...
Time for the IOC to act then, or be regarded as a bunch of windbags.

May 07th, 2012 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These Islands are windswept occasionally, I agree, but what gives you the idea that I'm stranded? I have a very nice life here thanks. Plenty of bananas, strong economy, transparency in government. Only downside is the annoying neighbours and their hockey captain who has forgotten that sport should transcend politics.
11 - Love the premptive strike bit ratatata tat (thats a machine gun) (argggggh run away - thats the RG's fleeing from the Gurkhas)
May 07th, 2012 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But very much doubt anybody would believe the RG's could develop anything as complicated a weapons of mass destruction. Maybe they could steal them? or lie and cheat to get them.

I wonder if Conlat, the mysterious company, prints Chavez's pictures. Did you notice the picture hanging behind Kretina is the same as the “regalo.”
#17 Yes, but the real question is what we don't notice what cannot be seen. 1.6 million dollars is chicken feed to what's really going on.
May 07th, 2012 - 03:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1 I assume you don't have an agency in your cuntry that vets ads for truthfulness!
May 07th, 2012 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11 Good idea. Who could blame Britain for turning argieland into a smoking, radioactive crater?

It seems that the Argies seem to think we are all stranded, and desperately trying to escape,
But the nasty brits are holding you all hostages,
Their logic never ceases to confuse us .

Argentina is a product of colonialism, conquered by the sword, most of the natives killed and infected by disease, their land taken from them and worked by imported African slaves, oversean by imported European colonials. The African's who made up 50% of the population would themselves completely disapear from Argentina between 1850-1900 in what could have been a chilling fore runner to the disareances of the Dirty War in the 1970's when an estimated 30,000 Argentines were raped, tortured and murdered, many more were held illegally in detention camps and tortured. The true figure for the dead could be as high as 100,000, no one knows because there is little official documentation and most bodies were dumped in the sea.
May 08th, 2012 - 02:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina took land from its neighbours in numberous wars , civil wars and land grabs - Paraguay, Uraguay, Chile. Today Argentina despite the changed political landscape is still a nation characterised by uber nationalism. The claim to the Falklands was surendered in 1850 but reserected in 1941 by a fascist junta, which inc Peron, they thought their friends the Nazi were going to win the war, the Falklands looked easy picking.
In 1982 Argentina was under the latest succession of a series of fascism military junta's. Their hold on power was looking precarious, in deperation they sort a war, Chile looked like a good victim, they already claimed lots of land and were ignoring the international tribunals that had ruled in Chile's favor. But then they changed their mind and invaded the Falklands. Today the war is romanticized by a nation ruled by a kind of cross between a Neo-Nazi uber nationalist and a Charvesta Revolutionary uber Marxist. The only thing missing is the land reform. Maybe that's for later? But as few natives remain, maybe they'll just ignore their rights... God knows they always have. An entire culture replaced by a European one. Entire languages destroyed.
Timmerman should take time to read about his country's history.
Many thanks for the interesting background. Puts the whole mess in an understandable context and explains why Argentina is so screwed up and a danger to all it's neighbours. The dark side of politics gone wrong.

The whole world sees RGland as a nest of insolvent thieving bastards. That is simply a fact. Stripping the value out of anything that they can get their bony little hands on. No one in their right mind would want to touch your country with a 40 foot barge pole. It is plain to see why you want to usurp the Falkland Islands. Thank God someone stood up and said “no further”. Cannot think of anyone who would have a good word for your murderous thieving country. You are that thick that you cannot understand.
Great commercial thank you for honoring our dead heros Cristina keep up the good work and never forget that the whole of Argentina supports you and voted for you to do the things that need to be done, UK did not vote for Cristina let their war mongers do their work for them in Libya,
