@1 - I just think MP are too used to running stories about Argentina and therefore every story is about disputing....

May 07th, 2013 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You mean Taiwan (aka 'Republic of China') competing at the Olympics as 'Chinese Taipei'? If being politically isolated means being like Taiwan, I think the Falklands could live with that!

They either want to claw their eyes out by the end of the day and kick their dog when they get home.
Or...
They laugh their arses off all day at work.
Though I sometime wonder if they don't also post to ramp up discussion and increases visits to the site..... could Think actually live in Montevideo perhaps?
With some of the comments from the usual suspects (Dany, Malen, Think, Marcos, Jose, etc) you would have to say it is the latter Anglotino!

There will be a problem with this petition if none of the signatories are born in the Falkland Islands-the UN will flush it down the toilet.
In other words a load of RGs signing a petition relating to a completely different country is a waste of effort-it will get nowhere.
But hey, go ahead if your country wants yet another failure.
It's a great historical precedent though. Hey maybe if we get enough signatures we can get Kyrgyzstan to give us their country.
