    I wish I had just watched the two chimps telling the penguin joke and not subsequently clicked on the video of the monkey masturbating. :o(

    Glad you enjoyed it.
    As for the “old sea dog” the best description is frpm the Dire Straights: “Last time I was sober, man I felt bad, worst hangover that I ever had...”

    Clyde both very funny!
    I understand and sympathize with the dialect.
    Or as they say in the Highlands: Whale eye beef hooked!
    (hint for the others: say it phonetically with the best Gaelic imitation you can muster...)

    Rockhopper penguins are happy, the Brutish don't boiled them anymore for oil and their oily “cousin” Rockhopper Exploitation keeps collapsing (137.38 -4.50 (-3.17%).

    #9 Clyde: the other version is “whale oil beef hooked”...

    The usurpers talking about the penguins as if they belonged.
    There is a history of British gangsters “kelpers” related to the topic of the colonies of penguins (argentines): do you remember Mike Bingham, the scientist?:

    @17:
    Give yourself a good slap across the face, and then do the same to your mother and father.
    Because they are the ones ultimately responsible for your garbage posts.

    Do it now - Quickly!!!!!!

    Jose - You sound like a 'born again' christian when pushing your 'truth' on other people.

    The truth is spoken in the English language of the Falkland Islanders Joseph.

    Mike's Supreme Court victory was not a laughing matter for the colonial government in Malvinas, but it's certainly something he can smile about.

    If you read the article, idiot, you'll see that the quotes are of two English speakers: Alexander Betts Goss (“Malvinas National Identity”) and Mike Bingham (“The Malvinas regime”).

    @17 Tell us. How far back can you trace your “family”? Would it be “one Saturday night in 1994”? Do you know “daddy's” name? More important, do you know “mommy's” name? Or did/do you have lots of “uncles”? Who have to rush off after 2 or 3 hours.
    And isn't that Miguel Bingham?
    @22 Yeah well, we all make mistakes. Should have shot him for treason. Or followed the argie example and just made him “disappear”.
    @23 Isn't that “Alejandro” Betts and “Miguel” Bingham? A couple of argie infiltrators. Did you think we wouldn't figure it out? Why and how would the Falkland Islands Government seek to deport Bingham. He is, supposedly, British. You can't “deport” a British person from British territory. On the other hand, if there was information that he was really an argie..... ! And the Betts “thing”? An argie politician, I believe. Sorry. Let me rephrase that. An argie liar, I believe. Ever tried intelligence? Go on, go to the ICJ. We'll all be around. Showing British lawyers how to make argie government lawyers look stupid. Not that they need much help.

    22==23

    Its abt the penguins

    Why you have to bring in gangsters and violence
    If you no like penguins then leave them alone,
    Gangsters=argentine =threats and intimidation
    Please, your jealousy and envy of the penguins is not amusing..
    Still,
    You wait until they are advanced enough to fly planes and sail ships,
    Then your be for it.olol.
