Feb 09th, 2013 - 01:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least the people attending will actually be from the countries they claim to represent, unlike the farce of a charade Timerman attempted to display.
Feb 09th, 2013 - 02:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Great stuff Keep at it. Timmerman will probably lay claim to the Isle of Man after this
Feb 09th, 2013 - 02:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0This prooves that the Islanders do exist.

Feb 09th, 2013 - 07:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Considering the programme and attendees, they will be able to frame and elucidate much better arguments and points than the amateur hour that is this forum.
Time to start flooding the airwaves with the truth instead of the twisted version that spews from Argentinean government mouths.
Don't you just love it when a plan actually works?
Feb 09th, 2013 - 10:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Can't wait for the result of the referendum to see what TMBOA and the stupid Jew do next. Suicide would be a great idea.

Feb 09th, 2013 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry, you will not be invited to the party as we don't like you. Go into the naughty corner and cry, stamp your feet and tell anyone who will listen that it is not fair.
Pity Timerman can't be present when the transplanted Falkland Islanders turn up.
Feb 09th, 2013 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to Timmerman the Falkland Islanders are all 180 year oldsettler transplants.
Can you tell us your secret?
Do you get everlasting life from drinking the waters of that waterfall east of Mount Adam?
Is it by eating the darker Diddle Dee berries by Mt Adam?
Are you rewarded with long life by having an Argentine bullshit filter attached to your ears?
Please reveal the secrets of your longevity.
Clearly the islanders only have to last another 20 years and they will get a second royal telegram.
Lucky buggers.
Interesting piece in the sun this morning Tinman is the son of a Ukranian immigrant, so much for his constant spouting off aboutbeing real Rgenweenians

Feb 09th, 2013 - 01:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hector`s daddy (Jacoba) emigrated from Ukraine in 1928 and was a popular human rights campaigner, so much so that the Argie. government of the day tortured and imprisoned him. Looking down from wherever, (died 1999), he must be really `proud` of his son.
Is this the 3er world equivalent of the Love Parade?
Feb 09th, 2013 - 01:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@13 No, that's “your” Congress. Where the crooks hang out. Headed by Cuck F*** Koo!
Feb 09th, 2013 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@13 Is rgenweener the 3rd world equivalent of a shambles, or just 3rd world?
Feb 09th, 2013 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The British Islands and Mediterranean Region is made up of branches from Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, CPA UK, St Helena, Cyprus, Malta and the Falkland Islands.”

In 28 days you can take the result of that referendum and shove it your ar*e aaaaannnnnndddd you can f**k off while you do it!!!!!
Remember!! 27 days!!! The world will be watching, and watching how you react to it as well......
My money is still on the tantrums and the hissy fits and the throwing the toys out of your trams.
Go Falkland Islands!!!!!!! Stick it to the man!! ( or woman )
They will not shut up even after the referendum. They will just change tactic, trying to get countries to come out and state that the referendum was illegal. The usual South American countries will come out on their side, they will lobby hard elsewhere.
Feb 09th, 2013 - 10:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After the result, HMG must come out and in no uncertain terms announce that democracy has spoken and that there will now not be any kind of talks on anything to do with the Falkland Island. Any and all such requests must be forwarded directly to the Islands legislature.
my considered opinion is that in the year 2018 ( one year after 1st oil ) the FALKLANDS will have another REFERENDUM. DO THE FALKLAND ISLANDERS WANT TO BE FULLY INDEPENDANT. They could aford to do that by then. They of course would be able to afford the cost of defence.

Feb 10th, 2013 - 12:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is no need to rush independence. Argentina's antics has very little impact on the Islands and would contine after independence. So nothing gained there.
I'm sure the Falklands will look at a funding deal with the MOD when the oil starts to flow.
Also Argentina's attempts at economic sabotage and blockade isn't really working. Lip service by the Chilean, Uruguaian and Brazilian governments is already just that. Wait until their private companies start making money from an oil industry run by a business friendly government with low taxes and no chance of nationalisation.
16- Toodie - A few years ago the CPA grouped us in with the Carribean! We are out on a limb a bit down this way - further away, but linking us with UK and the Med makes more sense.

Feb 10th, 2013 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0US and French companies in partnerships will be starting 2nd phase of explorations in other areas to the south in 1-2 years time when they can charter rigs to do so.
It is happening - idiot.
Great comeback Malvinero1!
Feb 10th, 2013 - 10:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm speechless. It's just impossible to argue with such well laid out and researched facts such as those.

Feb 10th, 2013 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this loony for real. I can almost feel the enraged spittle foaming from his mouth.
I suppose impotent rage manifests itself when he sees that he is screaming over a lost cause.
I always have a picture of Malv. in my mind when he makes a post. It was of a taxi driver in BA when they heard that theirt invincible forces had been beaten by the despised Brits.
He was incandescent with rage, waving his arms and shouting, A-R-G-E-N-T-I-N-A, Malvinas, la bandera. He knew he had been stuffed by his govt. and us, but could do nothing but give display of histrionics. Something which seems to sum up a certain type of Argie personality regularly posting here.
Enough of this frippery. Lunch calls. She who must be obeyed has set out a plate of venison plus veg. and demands my presence.
I remember seeing that scene too, spot on Clyde.
Feb 10th, 2013 - 01:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16,17 Please, guys. Notice the first bit. BRITISH ISLANDS. Also that the members from the “Region” include Cyprus, Gibraltar and Malta. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Parliamentary_Association

Feb 10th, 2013 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Quite so, the truth hurts...
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

@36 : But to also quote WC, it does take some time for it to get its trousers on. That said the truth always outs which explains why CKF, Timerman and their fascist little Malvanistas are so scared of March.
Feb 10th, 2013 - 08:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps an option worth thinking about. Dominion status within the Commonwealth for the Falklands. After all Newfoundland , a pretty sparselt populated island was a dominion until the people voted to become part of Canada

Let me be the first to welcome you back to the fold and say that the picking around here have been a bit stale of late.... The likes of Think and Tito and Gustbury and DanyBerger have become lost and even Marco appears to have run out of ideas.
If your blinding flash interlect at 27 is anything to go by then we should all be in for a wild ride!!
Welcome home son!! this place just wasn't the same without you!!
