After reading the article I was going to comment that Malvinistas will be on here claiming dramatic falls in stock prices - but Marcos chimed in on cue before I even arrived.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 08:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Reminds me of the war where the Argentines claimed to have sunk Invincible every other day.
@1 Actually, Borders only dropped by 70%. Not unusual in the case of an unsuccessful exploatory drilling. By comparison, FOGL dropped 8.4%, Rockhopper by 12.4% but Desire only 1.73%. British plans in the Falklands are fine. Who knows where these “Malvinas” are? Must be awful for you no-hopers watching a little British company spending more money than one of your “provinces” has got in its piggy-bank. I do hear that they are still paying their employees in proper money as well!
Jul 17th, 2012 - 08:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0On with the drilling!
Jul 17th, 2012 - 08:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Really Marcos? I think first oil to market in 2017 is a sign that things are moving quite nicely. What does it feel like to be on the loosing side Marcos?
Jul 17th, 2012 - 08:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wait until the oil flows and then compare the stock prices, the early investors take the greatest risk, but, also take the greater rewards. Marcos, this is basic stock business sense, you must not confuse that and your imaginery Malvinas that never existed, will never exist (except in your mind), get a grip on reality and ignore the Priestess of Botox.

Jul 17th, 2012 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Stealing is bad karma”
Yes. Payback time for Argentina as they have stolen land off virtually every South American neighbour plus as referenced in @2 Boovis off the original inhabitants.
And the assets they stole off Reprosol. Oh yes, thanks to that cock-up, can Argentina still get LPG?
And the milllions Argentina have stole off virtually everyone by not paying back debts which is theft.
That Marcos adds up to a lot of stealing by Argentina, and that's why very few countries will be stupid enough to invest in you-whereas the FIs get their investors despite Argentina's childish tantrums.
Stealing is bad karma eh?
Jul 17th, 2012 - 10:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0That must explain why the Argie economy is so badly screwed.
Borrowing money then refusing to pay back your creditors is basically theft, RGs.
yep the IMF loans, US Loans, the stolen spanish company, and the very soil they stand on....all stolen and all bad Karma.

@15 I'm surprised at you. Did you not know that Britain can build a new aircraft carrier AND have it sail 7,000 miles in 2 days? Did you notice the flag it was flying? The cross of St George. Not the White Ensign. Did you also notice the every argie aircraft, except one, got exploded? If that's the standard of proof they accept, we should get someone to start creating some video game-standard cartoons. Shouldn't be hard to prove that the whole of LatAm belongs to Britain!!

which is the thread we're on?
As usual Tobias, your only tactic seems to be to change the subject, just shows how under educated you are!!!!
Well, since Mercopress will never report on the bad stuff going on in other countries BUT Argentina, you should complain to them why us Argentines don't get the chance to criticize other countries in the appropriate articles, since they rarely if ever (maybe once a week), will place articles about problems in the UK, Spain, USA ,etc. I have as much right to insult your countries as you all do to insult mine. Simple as that.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0TTT, why don't you go on the Daily Mail site and insult the Brits there? You'll find plenty of people to agree with you. We're all happy enough here selecting the best bits of Argentinian idiocy to fall about laughing over. No shortage of material either.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@29 Why don't you go to an online newspaper covering the countries you want to insult? It seems an obvious solution. And the bonus is you will get a lot of that attention you crave.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 02:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you want to hurl abuse at the UK I highly recommend the Daily Mail. It is the newspaper for zenophobes, misogynists and armchair racists. I think you would love it.

But you won't, so I go on. Be glad I only stop by every 4th or 5th day now... I have a life and projects outside of this.
Besides, you all had already deviated the topic from the actual one to that of “video games”. Don't come all crying to me about who deviated the topic first, to continue insulting the Argentine war dead btw, which is what all foreigners here love to do.

Jul 17th, 2012 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OMG insulting Argentine war dead, thats a joke, you left their bloody corpses there and I'm sure the Falkland Islanders would be only too pleased to let you have the bloody lot back. Also I don't recall any of our athletes being filmed defiling an Argentine war memorial. You are utterly without shame.
@32 Can you actually read? Or is it that you just don't bother? If you were to go and view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJMkDuhzww you would see exactly what it is. It's video game-level graphics. Perhaps you'd like to point out the bit where argie war dead were insulted. Not that I have any particular problem insulting argie war dead. Send people to attack/invade British territory, insult British servicemen, treat citizens of a BOT like animals, act like animals, kill British servicemen, you deserve all you get. And you lie about the reason for the invasion and what that heap of scrap you used to have that we sank was up to. Apparently, you just can't help lying. But that's no excuse. You bunch of tossers need to grow up. Even at 16 you should know better than most of the crap you come out with. Am I not right in saying that, back in '82, you lot reported HMS Invincible sunk no less than six times. Even wimps as dumb as you lot ought to be able to figure out that you can't sink the same ship six times.
Jul 17th, 2012 - 05:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Paraphrasing Britworker, you left your stinking, rotting war dead in OUR islands. Be glad they aren't floating home or feeding the fish.
You have a major problem with the concept of responsibility. You don't have any. Nothing is ever your fault! Back in 1820, you tried to claim territory that was already British. You complain because we took our territory back. You don't want to recognise the evidence that your claim got dropped. No justification for your 1982 war crime. If there was the slightest valid evidence, I'd admit you had something. But you don't. And you lie and cheat and thieve without shame. You have possibly the most disgusting 40 million things on the planet. And you are expecting respect and/or consideration? You bunch are so sick, your removal from the planet would do the world a favour. You are such scum!
Ah the last four examples cement British education, manners, and politeness.

From a country of uneducated people we seem to have invented a lot of useful things. But I suppose the rgs choose not to use their huge intelligence for the good of the world.

I missed the part where the UK has invented anything during the last 40 years.
But you did win a minor skirmish 30 years ago, that's true.
@37 I understand your need to fight. Your country's economy is collapsing and, if the last time is anything to go by, life is not going to pretty. Rioting and looting were a daily occurance, crime was endemic and food scarce; especially in the provinces. I don't envy your situation or would wish it upon anyone but you are fighting the wrong people. Why not use all that anger to rally the youth and make your government accountable? It is your country and no one else is going to do it for you. Start the revolution and take your country back from the despotic, thieving witch in charge. What have you to lose?

This is the “South Atlantic News Agency” after all. Bound to have far more about Argentina than Britain.
It is clearly Argentina that is the “pro-active party” here, quoting versions of history that are completely fabricated, laying claims to British territory that are completely unfounded and threatening the Islands tiny population of 3,000.
And you wonder why you encounter a level of hostility from the Brits here!

What about the tango and polo ?
I see the Argentina National Institute of Tourism are having a stand at the British Birdfair in August this year.. Sensibly they have been separated from the Falkland Islands stands !!
I will visit them anyway. I nearly booked a holiday with them last year until you-know -who started the ball rolling.
Their suggestion was to take a single ticket to Arg. join one of their guided tours, move on to Chile, spend time there and then take the flight to the Falklands. Returning to the UK via Chile - the flight to Brize Norton being too expensive. I wonder what they would advise now - take a flak vest ?
However, they were charming people and if all Argies. were like them, we would have no trouble.
Considering that he is argentine,

Would it not be simpler, for him just to name 10 things argentina has invented.
Simple, is it not .

I was in Buenos Aires in 2002.
There I saw e.g. people fighting over the trash bins outside restaurants and beggars who looked like fugitives during one of the great famines in India or Africa.

Totally of topic,
Jul 19th, 2012 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0These Argies change the subject, to argentine inventions,
Realise Argentina has invented nothing,
Then totally loses interest,

The oil, will come sooner or later,
And its not yours,
But as you have your very own argentine oil, just sitting there under the ground,
Rather than trying to steal of the islanders,
Why don’t you lot get off your back sides and drill your own oil, for your own people,
And leave the Falklands alone.
Seems fair to me .

Teenagers from all walks of life, trainee priests, medical students, given guns that they didn't know how to use and sent off to die.
Bitter and twisted little fella, aren't you TIT. Thanks for the entertainment.

WTF!! Did I miss something? Do we really know that Marcos is the one and only creepy Mike Bingham? There is no doubt that Marcos has firsthand experience of the Falklands but what makes you think he's Mike Bingham? Please tell me.
Please support this page - Falkland Islands Desire The Right - dedicated to Falkland Islands current affairs, keeping the islands free and poking fun at the lunacy of the Argentine government and their various claims and winding up their Internet trolls -

#91 If I was Marcos I'd take the allegation that he was the hero Mike Bingham as a compliment (even though i doubt its true). Wasn't he the guy who was run off the Islands for opposing corruption?
