Oct 18th, 2013 - 06:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0I even like CabezaDura...
By the way, isn't Pomi Mujica's personal choice?
;)
@1 I have to agree. I'm not sure whether Pomi looks more like a prat or a bald, and less intelligent, Terry-Thomas in “Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines” and “Monte Carlo or Bust!”
Oct 18th, 2013 - 12:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Apparently not. He was Mujica's personal choice for BROU, but was vetoed. The general impression is that he can be approved for any post that gets him out of the country.
I like this woman. She is the first Argentine “lawmaker” that talks sense and seems to have a good handle on the situation.
Oct 18th, 2013 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only thing that surprises me is that Almagro is considered anti-Argentine; he seems to be just as big an arse-licker as Pepe as shown in the press.
The real problems remain: TMBOA herself, Gollum is as typecast, Cream Bun running things in “government” when he is an unelected person and of course the venomous La Camping It Up bunch of thugs in dresses aka the argie flag.
Argentina is completely out of control and I see nothing that this bunch is doing to alter that, far from it: if the Dead Cow had got petrol, they would be throwing it on the flames.
“This happens for not having professionals running diplomacy and two light weight bum-kissers running foreign relations. This chums’ thing of the seventies can only end in disaster as it has”

Perhapsitstime for the expenses of the Uruguayan embassy in BA to be investigated by a parliamentery commission

“Argentina is completely out of control”
Oct 18th, 2013 - 11:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has diplomatic and trade disputes right now with EVERY nation of the planet, because EVERY nation on this planet has a problem with us.
We are just standing up now and telling you all to stuff it.

I have a friend who is looking for a helper to sell Jade and Obsidian this summer seazson in Villa Gesell. Any unemployed, starving Euro or North Am interested, please leave an email. Job starts last week of november.
@10 The Truth PaTroll Argentina has diplomatic and trade disputes right now with EVERY nation of the planet, because EVERY nation on this planet has a problem with us.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 01:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0ever wondered why? te he
@10 Sorry? Didn't you lot want to be “isolated”? And who'd want to get involved in some dodgy beach trader scam?
Oct 19th, 2013 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse 010. Toby, How is your friend importing Jade and Obsidian under the current restrictions?
Oct 19th, 2013 - 12:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is Moreno allowing it in instead of Fuel or Wheat?
You are so stupid it hurts.
Obsidian is nothing other than the vitrified glass that has been thrown out of volcanoes. Here are a few pointers to the scams:
Oct 19th, 2013 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Obsidian comes in black, brown, gray and several combinations such as white and black ”Snowflake“ obsidian and brown and black ”Mahogany“ obsidian.
What it DOES NOT come in is brightly coloured Reds, Blues, Greens and the like sold by metaphysical dealers and scam artists. I can assure that most all coloured obsidians are actually slag glass”

And as for jade:
Here is a list of the common “fake jade” misnomers:
“Amazon or Colorado Jade”: amazonite (blue-green or green) feldspar
“Canadian jade”: serpentine
“Henan Jade”: Talc
“Indian” Jade: aventurine
“Korean” Jade: serpentine or gem serpentine (bowenite)
“Mexican Jade”: green-dyed Mexican calcite
“New jade”: serpentine
“Olive jade”: serpentine
“Oregon or Swiss Jade”: green chalcedony
“Pink Jade”: rose quartz
“South African Jade”: TL Grossularite
“Styrian jade”: serpentine
“Suzhou Jade”: Serpentine
“Transvaal Jade”: green hydrogrossular garnet, grossularite
And personally I also consider dyed/coloured real jade fake. Dyed jade can be most easily distinguished from un-dyed jade by examination with a Chelsea filter; un-dyed jadeite will not show the red colour of dyed jadeite or nephrite when looked at through the filter. Or you can careful inspect the piece; the colour will be seen to be distributed along grain boundaries rather than throughout the stone. Also, obtaining a written guarantee from the seller can protect you from dyed material.
Now I wonder whether the argie “gems” are real or fake. Answers on a pin head to TTT.
Ha, ha, ha.
It's a typical attitude from “SA leftists” to blame somebody else to get rid of their responsibilities. It's not common however, having them blaming each others. Anyway, Carrió should have not spoke so freely while Pomi should have not spoke at all.
Oct 19th, 2013 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Luckily for Uruguay, the diplomatic relationships are a bit tenses now. It´s better do not get close of argentinian government, and don´t touch them even with a stick.
According to an article in todays El Observador tomorrows routine cabinet meeting is to be replaced by a meeting of the Defence Council.Apparently this is “routine” and was planned two months ago
