Oct 27th, 2012 - 12:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0#1 & 3 - actually more like planning to steal the bear once it is shot, borrowing with the hypothetical bear as collateral - and then spending the entire loan while waiting on the bear to be shot. Then default and get the cart intended to haul away the bear after the heist impounded.

Just sour grapes deary as they seem to be making a go of their tourism business.
Try to be bit more inventive with your posts - you have used this one about a dozen times and it still looks like a jealous loser with nothing new to say.
A minor point about your “bloody rubbish English”
Should be money not monies.
Should be airline not airlines
I expect to see an improvement in your next post.
I ate out in Stanley several times last week which is a lot more than my once or twice a month usual. There was enough choice to mix it up but I'd never say no to a few more restaurants. When's Caroline opening the old Brasserie back up? Does anyone know?

Oct 28th, 2012 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From your posts let me take a guess-your choice of resturant is Burgerworld with Beavis and Butthead as the chefs?
@10 You're certainly an arse, sussie. Is it your best feature? How does it go? “This is my arse. Shag it. It's bigger than other entry points, except the mouth. Can take four in the mouth, but only three in the arse. Although there's no problem str-r-r-e-e-e-t-t-c-c-h-h-ing it. Bit of lubrication and it can take a bus. Nose, mouth, hands, snatch, arse - all available. Good rates. US$2 per.” Look at that. Advertising. Would you like to add “Will travel”?
Oct 28th, 2012 - 03:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@12 Sussie can't improve. She can only post more garbage. Or offer more “services”. Don't know why she hasn't come up with something more descriptively accurate. Sussiewetback? Sussie - - legal? Sussiewanks? Sussiesucks? Sussieswallows? Sussiefarter?
Tourism, oil, fishing, agriculture.. blimey, they're raking it in.

As a native English speaker I do not consider TIT a model of good expression in English. Under his various aliases, he is verbose and pedantic and fails to communicate his opinions in a clear and simple manner. He uses archaic words and terms that are not in current use and he would fail any exam in the English language if he wrote in this manner.
He has his own opinions and is entitled to express them, as are we all, but his style gives the impression of smugness and undeserved superiority to the rest of we poor benighted souls.

You may be correct in stating that no one is interested in my comments - then why bother to reply ?
I have stated already that I am not Isolde and I have no idea who she is. I suspect she is on the Falklands but cannot say yeah or nay.
I see that you are back to your anal fixation again. Have you thought of visiting a proctologist for treatment.?
As to the islands stinking, I would imagine some beaches with decomposing seaweed may stink as would penguin colonies, but as I have never been there I could not confirm this.
I see you took my advice and changed your posts from the usual.
Keep up the good work.

On certain locations on the Islands where there was Cinnamon grass and Vanilla Daisies (in flower), the smell was very nice. Strange to hear of a woman (if Sussie isn't a drag act) that doesn't like the smell of chocolate......

Hold on there. Don't forget that this belongs to it's rightful owners, the Argentines. A tanker enbargoe should be in the doing.

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho
Chorus
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go

Hence our AAA credit rating?
Please explain why Argentina is being demilitarised by NML (not even a nation) and please explain why if the UK is so badly off why the Royal Navy's ships aren't being impounded in foreign ports, wise ass?
