Mujica and Cristina Fernandez seal peace at a de-sulphuring plant inauguration
Uruguay and Argentina presidents Jose Mujica and Cristina Fernandez seem to have ironed out differences, at least in public and in the pictures, during the inauguration of a gasoline and diesel de-sulphuring plant in Montevideo, which was financed with Venezuelan funds and Argentine technology.

Didn't know that version....
Thanks Pepe!
“we are not nationalism with symbols and banners” - President Cristina Fernandez took off her speech interrupted by a crowd of young militants who cheered and sang with banners and flags in support of the Argentine leader. They belonged to La Campora ........ They were flown in for the occasion.

In Argentina today if you want a government job,being a member of La Campora is recommended,I,ll put it no stronger than that!(at the moment)
Argentines investing in Uruguayan real estate as they consider Uruguay their second home? Well, culturally similar, not unlike the similarity between Australia and New Zealand but is it not more to do with having a bolt hole?

Nafta = diesel fuel in Bulgaria. Transfered to S.A. along with Dilma?
Probably derived from naphtha in gasoline fractionation.

Aug 28th, 2013 - 08:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0The old prat wouldn't even blink at these thugs, and as for “If Ancap (Uruguay’s oil refining company) did not inaugurate this plant today, Ancap would have been reduced to a junk yard.” that's the best thing for it. From the top to the bottom of the company they have no concept of what a customer is and set the price high because of the numbers of useless employees they have on the payroll AND of course the directors bonuses.
Let us hope that 2Argentine technology” is not the oxymoron it sounds like. Apart from Ferrum sanitary ware which IS good quality, anything else I have bought that was made in Argentina is crap: even the paint I bought the sides of the plastic pots split and let the paint out! Obviously an attempt to sell more paint.
Get yourself a Bersa 9mm put it in your head and see whether it works or not ;).

Shaking CFK's hand, Mujica commented excitedly on the strong smell of sulphur in the air. “But Mr President” said the engineer beside him, “We haven't switched the plant on yet”.

There are two or three allusions - one warns that UR might open the door to AR at its peril. Two emphasises this using the Trojan 'horse' analogy, and three ... well, links the Bolivarians to the Trojans in their duplicity.

Some ~400,000 Argies own property in little Uruguay…
Some ~200,000 Yoruguas reside permanently in Argentina...
Some ~2,000,000 of us invade little Uruguay every summer…
We share a parallel genesis, a parallel history and a parallel destiny…
In short…… To tell apart Uruguayans from Argentineans can be so simple (or so tricky) as spotting the difference between fair skinned blue eyed North and East Ridingers……
You get my drift, my friend? ;-)

Aug 28th, 2013 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Poor old Pepe, actually the Russian word for gasoline is “benzina” not nafta! NAFTA was the name of front company which sold black market Russian oil which was subject to sanctions at the time. Buying illigal oil and thus supporting from Stalin during one of his most bloody periods of genocide is probably not something most governments would want to celebrate. Whats next, for Uruguay, buying surplus pesticides from Assad in Syria?

You do realise that when mated to the fabulous FM range of Argentine “manufactured” ammunition there are a number of possible scenarios:
1) the round won’t strip off the mag because it has the wrong form for the loading ramp;
2) the slide won’t go into battery, the interlock with then prevent the striker hitting the primer – no shot fired;
3) as above but due to the superb argie manufacturing the interlock does NOT work, the striker hits the primer with sufficient force to cause a breech explosion (nice that one);
4) everything locks up, the striker hits the primer but the round does not fire because the argie “firearm experts” forgot the primer “priming” (see what I did there);
5) lastly, and probably least of all with FM ammunition it fires!
By then of course I have managed to track either of you two prats down, used another type of firearm and Remington ammo and shot the pair of you in the arse. The arse is, after all, where your “brains” are sighted.
@ 25 TBATOTOCB again!
You simply MUST tell me when you are next visiting Uruguay and I will make sure I come and give you a welcome you will never forget: I will introduce you to my 2/3rd scale Bowie Fighting Knife at VERY close range.
This will solve all those little problems you have with your French/ Ruskie Navigators ? Pilots watch that is spot on time twice a day and no need afterwards to worry about the micro-still running dry: you won’t be around. No need to thank me, it’s the least I can do to put you out of you problems.
Ha, ha, ha. Pair of twats.

And today, Reuters tells us that 'stem cell research produces mini-brains' ... some 150 million years after dinosaurs developed secondary brains in their bums (why?).
Its just a matter of time until we insert mini-brains in the computer-finger; finger-brains that refuse to press the naughty keys.

Weaselly differentiated; they're stoatally different.

“Countries don’t move; they are prisoners of their geography“
Aug 29th, 2013 - 03:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But not the Falklands as the UK is not scared of Argentina.
”President Cristina Fernandez took off her speech interrupted by a crowd of young militants who cheered and sang with banners and flags in support of the Argentine leader. They belonged to La Campora, a youth group commanded by her son Maximo Kirchner and which have been generously supplied with funds and jobs in government companies and institutions. They were flown in for the occasion.“
But recently, after CFK offered them 50 million Pesos apiece, silver service first class seats on Tango 1 to fly to MPA, to demonstrate outside UK troop barracks with banners, shouting ”British colonialist cowardly pig white flag implanted conquistadors go home,“ the La Campora stooges mysteriously declined her offer......
“I want to start by thanking the deference and honour of having given the Argentine president the keys of Montevideo.”
She later added that she would prefer the Uruguayans to join in the conquest of the Falklands so that she could have the keys to Stanley, Port Louis or failing that, the keys to Scragg Paddock Point.
“There’s always a confusion between the person who has a post and the job itself, the honour is not for the person but in her representation, and in this case it is the Argentine people.”
Though the numbers of Argentinians able to participate is limited through $ controls and her dislike of them leaving Argentina.
”We have no pending conflicts in the region”.
