The medal will of course have the additional words “Malvinas Son Argentine” and not forgetting the immortal cliche: “Thank you for your support in our great cause”.

I wonder how many “veterans” will make their drunken way to the Vatican to “assist” in presenting this fabulous item, sure to be copied and given to every argie whether they can read or not.

Two weeks after the hand-over it will be on E-Bay for 10 arsewipes ONO. You just have to laugh at the antics TMBOA gets up to.

BUT, in a spirit of ”complete humility”, this, as a final laugh a minute quote: We believe that the way of being, the charisma and the humility of Pope Francis have managed to revive global sympathy for the Catholic Church” said Argentine lawmaker.

Ha, ha, ha. In your dreams.

When are the FIG bringing out a coin to commemorate CFKs contribution to their increasing autonomy/free publicity ?

Is the 50p coin big enough or will it have to be a banknote?
