    Of course!!! I was forgetting!! wasn't the deadline the 02nd May 2012? Oh... and I can't wait for the first writ to start flying, only to be shot down it flames by every sensible court in the world.

    Still it is GREAT news for the Falkland Ilands economy, The guys down there in the South Atlantic are becoming a proper little powerhouse!!! Good on you guys!!! Keep it up!!

    I can hear the tantrums of a spoilt child somewhere in BA because she can't get her own way. Tee hee! Shouldn't have pulled out of the offer of collaboration with the UK/FIG on oil exploration then!
    As a result, they will get precisely zip rather than engage in meaningful “dialogue”

    A writ from an Argentine court eh? maybe they'll print 'em on nice soft paper so they'll make good toilet paper, not much use for anything else.

    Argentine law is a fine oxymoron isn't it.

    It was a chicken!!! I may not know much but I do know my cr*p jokes!!!

    Ok, here we go

    A chicken walks into a Library and goes to the librarian “Book!” The librarian then gives the chicken a book and the chicken walks out. The next day the same chicken walks into the Library and goes to the librarian “Book, book!!” and this time, walks out with two books.
    On the third day when the chicken comes in and goes “Book, Book, Book!” the librarian hands over three books and then follows the chicken to see where it goes. He follows her down the road onto the village green and sat there in the middle of the pond in the middle of the green sits a FROG, on a lily pad. The Chicken hands over the books tot he Frog but the frog just says “Read it, read it, read it!!”

    I knew the punch line wouldn't be worth the wait!! but there you go.

    Oh well, ho hum...........

    Ah yes, it's working up to a complete farce as far as The Rat, Timmidman, The Gingernut, The Wop Defence Minister and not forgetting Juggalo all led by The Mad Bitch (supported by FatBoy) are concerned.

    What a cast of complete (choose your own descriptor) don't you think.

    I just cannot wait for the next installment of 'Die for me, Argentina'.

    @10 You forgot that imbecile in NY that no one will invite to a party with plates piled high with Ferrero Rocher. He's just left out in the dark like an old sock, so he resorts to just making stuff up about the Falklands.

    @7T
    Brilliant, loved it.
    How about this one.
    Zoo keeper goes into the aviary and finds some of the birds have have died.
    Next day he goes into the ape house and some monkeys have died.
    Bugger me, he then goes into the Insect house and all the bees have died.
    Anyway, a new lion arrives at the zoo. He walks up to LEO and says.“ What's the grub like here mate?”LEO replies, Not bad, yesterday we had Finch, chimps and mushy bees.”
    Sorry best I can do, unless you want to hear the one about the French restuarant/
