Falklands’ current cruise season much quieter and rather ‘turbulent’

Friday, March 15th 2013 - 02:21 UTC
Full article 104 comments

This year’s Falkland Islands season has been much quieter than usual with over 19.000 passengers to the first week of March mainly because of cancellations due to weather and technical issues with a handful related to the political situation created by Argentine harassment early on the season, according to industry sources in the Islands.

    Why is poster 2 SHOUTING?

    And it amazes me that “English” weather affects the Islands so much. Doesn't the Argentine government keeps whining incessantly about how far away England is from the Islands.

    Which is it? Close or far? If only Argentines could make up their mind what they want the rest of the world to believe.

    Nothing says one is old more than questioning why there seems to be more gay people around these days!

    Oh poor Think pines for bygone days where the brownies and women were seen and not heard and the gays were neither seen nor heard.

    Another deflection for a poor old man to hide his confusion and inabilities behind. And yet another thing that differentiates the Islands from their foreign neighbour.

    “Extroverted”? You flirt!

    @5 I'm all for diversity but if the Islanders use up too many of their 44 Permanent Residence Permits on non-breeding stock, not to mention native Spanish speakers, they could be storing up problems. Fortunately JB has his hand on the mixer tap to keep the Bitter Sweet balance.

    Oh wow DoD is here talking to Think. It's beginning to feel like an old man convention especially considering some of the quaint....no, old fashioned..... no, ignorant.... yeah that's it... ideas being blown around.

    “if the Islanders use up too many of their 44 Permanent Residence Permits on non-breeding stock”

    First off that assumption rests on several falsehoods.

    That gay people don't desire / have or plan to have children.

    As for your use of the derogatory term of “non-breeding”, the important thing to differentiates nearly all gay couples from the mass of “breeding” heterosexual couples is the planning and thought that goes into having a family.

    Using our esteemed older members of the forum as an example, gay couples don't just pop out puppies by mistake whenever the desire to mount their prized “breeding” heifer (socially known as their wife/partner) takes their fancy.

    Indeed gay couples are usually better educated and more affluent than the average heterosexual couple. Just the sort of people the Islands probably desire.

    And that rules you two out much much more than it does me.

    @16 What's your problem? Argieland already advertises itself as the homosexual capital of the world. They like to refer to it as “gay” to disguise the fact that most of the males are “benders”. It is understood that there is confusion in argieland about who is supposed to do what to whom. So it's “anything goes”. And it's legal! In a few years it will probably be compulsory. That should kill the tourist industry!

    @13 Anglotino,

    So according to you most heterosexual couples are uneducated, poor and don't put any thought or planning into having children.

    And when heterosexual mothers do give birth they are merely “squirting out puppies” fathered by men who don't love their partners but are merely looking for a prize cow?

    Can you also explain to me how gay couples can have children? I thought it was a biological impossibly.

    Heterophobia anyone?

    They don't even need to see the prize cow or pick the baby.

    @59 Oh, P A, we do understand that argie forces are trained to recognise civilians. They are the ones you can safely attack, aren't they? Shall we take a look at the “abilities” of the argie soldier? In the two “Conquests of the Desert” brave argie troops armed with modern Remington rifles went up against Amerindians armed with spears and bows and arrows. In 1982, courageous argie troops began their illegal occupation of the Falkland Islands by locking over 100 Islanders, including children, into a hall, without food or water, and under armed guard. In one of the first “actions” of the Falklands War, the argie navy ran like rabbits, not even attempting to pick up argie survivors, as they realised that the single British submarine wasn't crewed by civilians. Later on, argie forces painted red crosses, symbol of the International Red Cross, on “their” buildings and boats. And, as we all know, placed argie artillery pieces between civilian homes. And got 3 Islanders killed. Oh, and didn't you “disappear” 30,000 civilians in the 70s? Yeah, you'd know a lot about civilians!

    And Think's selective editing of Stevie's removed post shows he has indeed learnt all the pertinent lessons on disseminating propaganda from his government. Why don't you post the rest of his comment?

    Please continue. Think and DoD hijacking a thread to talk about anything other than the pertinent subject is nothing new. Indeed it is their modus operandi.

    I'm loving this thread too.
    Especially today's pearls from Mr. Anglotino:

    ”Gay couples don't just pop out puppies by mistake whenever the desire to mount their prized “breeding” heifer (socially known as their wife/partner) takes their fancy. ”
    And…......:
    ”Gay couples are usually better educated and more affluent than the average heterosexual couple. Just the sort of people the Islands probably desire.”

    I’m positive that more people like Anglotino in them Islands is exactly what lesser educated and affluent Kelper breeding heifers as Monty96 and Isolde desire the most….

    Gay hypocrisy anyone…..

    Think I am glad you are enjoying it. With a tanking income, crashing economy and farcical government that is castigated even by its supposedly closest allies, you need all the enjoyment you can find.

    I'm glad I could help.

    As per usual you fail to even address the most basic of questions or arguments. But I never expect anything more.

    But here's one you won't pass up!

    Where have I been hypocritical? I didn't refer to having children as “breeding” until your friend Doveoverdover used the term.

    As “breeding stock” in English is the usual term for animal mating by humans, I just extended the analogy further. Stock being usually reserved for ungulates.

    Are you not hypocritical for castigating me and yet refraining from doing the same to him.

    Didn't you then repeat the use of the term “non breeding stock”?

    Does this not mean your post at 72 is the hypocrisy you are so desperately looking for?

    As for my comment:
    ”Gay couples are usually better educated and more affluent than the average heterosexual couple. Just the sort of people the Islands probably desire.”

    For someone who continually corrects others in their use of English, isn't it farcical that you deliberately missed the connotations of “usually” and “average”.

    Again does that omission make you a hypocrite?

    And finally, was my use of these terms a personal attack on anyone such as your personal attack on other forum members Monty96 and Isolde?

    Does that make you hypocritical again?

    You raise interesting points but rarely difficult ones.

    @74 Think

    And yet the Falkland Islands still have a better educated and more affluent population than Argentina. Go figure. After all your comments and not so thinly veiled insults, that is what it boils down to.

    An affluence you cannot share in. Instead you are mired in the effluence of your own country. The one your parents chose for a better life! If only they had thought about the Falklands all those years ago as much as you think about them now.

    I again note your failure and inability to address any of my points I raise. Silent acquiesence is another great trait you practise. You are nothing if not consistent when confronted.

    @75 Stevie
    I have had more posts by Conqueror removed than any other. Think is probably second at the moment due to his penchant as a first generation European immigrant for using derogatroy and racists terms for anyone with a darker skin tone than his own. You, being new and quite ineffective in your use of language, hardly rate.

    BP accepted some responsibility for the disaster, but its report also assigned blame to Transocean and its other partners on the project.

    Vidrine told BP investigators that Transocean crew members had “dismissed drill pipe pressure as anything serious” and had “somewhat joked about my concern over drill pipe,” according to notes from their interview of Vidrine.

    The trial opened last Monday and, barring a settlement, is expected to last several months. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier is hearing testimony without a jury and could decide how much more money BP, Transocean and other companies must pay for their roles in the disaster.

    @77 Stevie

    “You forgot to mention you are gay.”

    Stevie, there are plenty of things I choose not to say when I comment.

    For instance, this is the first time I have highlighted your continual misspelling of my name on here. It's ANGLOTINO - not Anglolatino.

    It is called a portmanteau. No need to thank me for teaching you something.

    The other thing I have not mentioned before is your lack of independent thought. Instead you just swoop into a thread and attach yourself to another person's line of argument or attack and join in. I did allude to it in my comment @ 76 when I said you are “quite ineffective in your use of language” and that you “hardly rate”.

    So did I forget to mention I was gay? No!

    Where did I actually mention I was gay on this thread? It was Think (your recent attachment) that first raised the subject.

    Perhaps his use of “extrovert rainbow posters” in post 5 was just too subtle for your intellectual ability to recognise? Or perhaps you just felt that you were on a roll in attacking without realising why you were doing it.

    Let's look at your contribution:
    Post 18 is alas gone though Think is selectively quoting you in a vain attempt to make a point. But let's just say that this one was quite homophobic.

    Post 75 was you whining about how you were censored and others aren't. Perhaps others are more intelligent and subtly in their insults and denigration than you are capable of.

    Which brings us to your latest contribution at post 77. Wow hasn't that now fallen flat.

    I mean, Think has taken 19 posts to make his points - that's 25% of this thread. And of those comments, half are concerned with or mention homosexuality either directly or indirectly.

    And yet you feel smug in asking me why I don't do something that I have yet to do on this thread.

    Oh, my Kingdom (queendom) for a challenge on here!

    I know many gay men.They don't feel the need to flaunt their sexuality as if they needed some kind of acknowlegdment.
    You on the other hand, have told everybody you are gay plenty of times now, not counting the celebrities you share your fantasies of.
    I understand the kick you got from making your sexuality official, but there is a reason people don't end every post with “byw, I'm hetero”.

    Aaah still no challenge.... alas!

    @80 Dear Think, where did I say I was gay in post 79? Again?

    Let me help you (you seem to need it more frequently lately):
    Did I mention it in post:
    3 - no
    7 - no
    13 - no
    69 - no - hehe
    71 - no
    76 - no

    So supposedly, according to you, I have mentioned it at least twice.

    And yet you can't back up your claim..... again, you are nothing if not consistent in your disabilities.

    Disabilities which are becoming more glaringly obvious as the weeks go on. Are sure your pension is adequate to purchase a good balanced diet?

    It is interesting your continual interest in homosexuality though. Us younger people are more accepting, which obviously confuses you. But soon you will grow bored and look for easier targets. It is inevitable given your abilities.

    And my dear Stevie at 81.

    I see you are still running around after Think. And again had trouble with my name! Just between you and me, I’ll admit that I’m not surprised. You’ll also notice that I don’t have trouble with other poster’s names….. perhaps something to do with intelligence level. What do you think?

    But anyway. CONGRATULATIONS on knowing “many gay men”. How very cosmopolitan of you. Now you know one more! Your inclusiveness never ends!

    But unfortunately you share the same disabling affliction as Think. Where have I “told everybody you are gay plenty of times now”. Think can’t even find one single example on this thread. And I can see you are still smarting after your facile and failed attempt to highlight my “culture” on another thread.

    Also I’m not sure what “acknowledgement” you think I am craving. You do realise Think first mentioned homosexuality don’t you? Actually he has continually raised the subject for discussion. Don't you find that weird?

    I am who I am. If you don’t like it you are quite free to ignore me. That doesn’t mean I’ll ignore you though; as my repeated put downs of your juvenile “We are Chavez” comments has shown. You are an easy target mate.

    Again I say, you have told everybody plenty of times that you are gay. Fact is, every time I see a closet, I expect you to show up and surprise me.

    While the many posts by one or two malvistas no doubt increases the advertising revenue for mercopress, the fact they rarely bring anything of interest to the discussion that has not already been done to death does make them rather tedious.
