    Oh dear. How nasty. City of London/England/United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland seems to be dealing in some market outside the EU. Hang on, I thought the SERVICE industries of the UK would fall apart without multi-nationals based in the UK. And CHINA has moved, en masse, into UK, has it?

    Dany is always saying the UK is doomed. China doesn't seem to think so.

    lt would seem, malvinistas, that China has confidence in the UK.
    Any stupid trollish comments?

    GREAT!

    But how can that be when TMBOA flirted like a two Yuan whore with the new Representative of China only last year?

    Perhaps the blow job she gave him wasn’t up to his expectations.

    I mean, it couldn’t have been the economy of The Dark Country going down the shitter to default AGAIN that stopped China dealing with the Argie money market, could it?

    Ha, ha, ha.

    “when TMBOA flirted like a two Yuan whore”

    I am confused....Does this mean that she is more up market than a 2 dollar whore?

    Does anyone know the exchange rate?

    @10 toooldtodieyoung,
    lts about 5.5 Yuan to the US dollar.
    However many analysts believe that its undervalued & should be about 3 Yuan to the US Dollar.
    The Chinese govt keep it that way so that their exports will be cheaper & imports dearer for Chinese consumers.

    @ 10 toooldtodieyoung

    According to the data from Isolde, it seems I may have over-valued her “charms”.

    Sorry folks for the awful mental picture that conjures up!

    This article underlines the fact that London is the financial centre of the world.
    The Chinese will be doing their trade deals that decide the economic fate of much of Latin America, in London, with British advice and influence.
    Great news for the UK economy as the British will be sure to get their cut.
    Maybe buy another aircraft carrier!

    “This article underlines the fact that London is the financial centre of the world.”

    Nope this article only shows how ruined you are that you have to sell Yuans or Juans to get a miserable fee to survive.

    Bhaaahahaha! !!!! @ dunny. You so funny!

    Majorly crap answer.

    How is that parallel dollar working out for you?
    Don't like it?
    Fed up with worthless pesos?

    Come to London. Buy some Yuans instead! We own the market place...
    So you will have to ask nicely, maybe beg a little. .. Or at least pay our friends in the Paris Club their money first.
    see how it works dunny?
    Finally getting educated?

    @ 14 lsolde
    “Que?”

    I am referring to the schism between my valuation of TMBOA “charms” as 2 yuan and the question is that pricing her above a 2 dollar whore? My reply was I seem to have overvalued TMBOA somewhat.

    It wasn’t until I re-read my post after your “Que” that I realised you may have thought, erroneously of course, that it might refer to someone who lives on the Falklands, not a million miles from you!

    May I say there was never, ever, any intention of that and that I hold you in great esteem AND the offer of a ride on the pillion of my Suzy GSX1250FA still stands!

    Grovel, grovel. Yours in perpetuity. :o)

    (I have only just seen your post @ 17 but I thought you would have a chuckle at this)

    @6 ChrisR

    Despite allegedly supporting RGs claim to the Falklands we still get loads of dosh from China.

    So they didn't feel like trusting INDEC..........

    I guess CFK will be re hiring that British Jet to take her to China after practising suck starting Boudou's Harley Davidson to redouble her efforts in China.........

    A horrible thought really.

    Many, many years ago I was an executive of a famous (at the time) engineering works and we had 1200 or so workers, so things got out of hand from time to time.

    One 19 Y/O male was really taken with one of the machine shop girls but she spurned him a number of times and one day there was a tremendous kerfuffle outside the ladies and this lad was the centre of it. It turns out he had a mirror on a wooden broom handle and had gone from cubicle to cubicle trying to find her. Well, he found her alright, hence the shouting.

    Next morning he came into work with severely blistered lips. He had attempted suicide when he arrived home on his Russian sidecar combination by sucking on the hot exhaust pipe!!!

    We sacked him of course.
