    Yep Paul

    And every article draws you out to comment.

    Argentina won't get a drop of the oil nor a single dollar in income. You'll just ha e to work harder so your government can steal more of your money.

    Who is the parasite? HAHAHAHAHA

    In February 2010 the Argentine Foreign Minister promised to take action in the international courts against UK oil companies drilling in Falkland waters.

    Why is the case taking sooooo l o n g?

    you have to face it, a tiny little oil well with no commercial oil is useless.
    that's why no serious company is involved in that joke.
    i´m afraid you have to get a job.

    Borders & Southern Petroleum PLC? LOL

    @7 paul

    A multitude of organisations, institutions, people, come together; form structures, form companies, form international partnerships; work out plans, finance plans, regulate plans. And then actions it. All with the absolute minimum of governmental interference. Are you not impressed?

    This is how the first world, serious countries, big and small, do things. Argentina by contrast is just a dysfunctional joke - a perpetual under achiever.

    For the sake of your own sanity, keep praying there's no oil.

    Such matters are beyond his comprehension. Full marks for trying tho.

    All the best with the oil. Just promise not to sell any to those goons unless it is at triple rate and comes with a genuine and humble apology for 1982.

    That is so typical of Clarkson....he just does not GAF....
    “H982FKL”
    Quote article...
    “Clearly, neither settlers nor authorities paid great attention in the South such identification: a reference to the 1982 war and the ”Falkland Islands“ as they call kelpers British and the Falklands.”

    The program broadcast by the BBC ...... resulted in a controversy over the display of such registration, provocative considered during filming that made by different cities of Patagonia since mid-September

    Voice- and why should JC-BBC- UK-Falklands give a F***** anyway?
    The maniac woman in charge of Argentina has a good old rant about the war against the Islands every 2nd April and praises the Argentine who invaded peaceful Islands.
    Every month we Islanders have to put up with “so called veterans” coming here and spending a week tramping around the hills wearing their military uniforms and waving Argentine flags to celebrate what they did.
    Now someone is having a little bit of crafty fun taking the rip at Argentina a bit - wow - 40 million of them have clearly got a psychotic neurosis problem! - get a sense of humour Argentines

    1st, nobody knows jeremy clarkson here, and i doubt he is known in the rest of the world, except in the uk.
    2nd, minister of ushuaia? it does not exist.
    3rd, he was not banned from filming, but it is true that there was a manifestation of...40 (forty) ex combatants.

    in brief: no story.
    and it seems this british celebrity has already had some probs with “slopes” and “niggers”, no?

    “Local councillor Juan Manuel Romano claimed the digits 269 on the number plate of the Ford Mustang Mustang Richard Hammond was driving were close to the 255 Britons killed during the 1982 war.”
    That's clutching at straws a bit.
    “ you also see it on S.American satellite TV dubbed in Spanish.”
    “islander, believe me, nobody watches that program here.
    once is more than enough to realize it is so bad.”
    Obviously they do or it wouldn't still be aired.

    So it's ok for Argentina to film a propaganda video of a hockey player exercising on a WW1 war memorial, but as soon as someone has a dig at them they lose there minds? A country of pathetic losers, that all they are, pathetic poor losers.

    paulcedron, i would love to see the Argentine Top Gear, a bunch of dirty gauchos riding stupid donkeys around complaining about the Brititsh LOL

    Argentina love to pull stunts on the Falklands designed to upset the Islanders but wet their pants alluding to false messages on a number plate.

    Karma-more stunts like this need to be pulled in Argentina with the message-if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    cannot believe that shitty tv program is so successful in the islands and in the islets.
    well, you lot are not very demanding with tv programs.
    that´s why reality shows and all that shite are the favorites there, no?

    “that´s why reality shows and all that shite are the favorites there, no?”
    Cannot stand reality shows, they are for the lowest common denominator. This is one area that I will agree with you wholeheartedly, it beggars belief that show like Essex, Geordie, Chelsea get so many viewers. Top Gear I do like but that's because I'm one of those guys that hasn't grown up, I just like more expensive toys.

    paulcedron, the show is popular in many countries, i believe Australia and the US have there oen versions of it, also it is not reality tv, its all scripted.

    But will an Argentine answer this simple question. Why is it ok for Argentines to wave Malvinas banners at football matches and other stuff to annoy us, but when the Brits do it back you whine and bitch like little babies?

    i do not agree with that imbecile who filmed a publicity in the islands with the argentinian flag.
    that was a provocation, like what this imbecile clarkson did
    now about the malvinas banner, that was in argentina, so i don´t see any problem with that.

    paulcedron, well we agree on something at least, and your people csn wave as many damn banners as they want.

    But the reaction from Argentina is ridiculous, throwing stones over number plates? Pathetic. The amount of Argentines that come here, waving flags, wearing military uniforms, do we beat and threaten them? No, our police isn't even aloud to stop them, but if you lot wanna play tit for tat I'm not above kicking the shit out of some Argies who come to my country to stir up trouble.

    what country are you talking about?
    the islands are not a country, they are a colony.
    agree that the nabos throwing stones to those beautiful old cars are pathetic.
    now, the falklanders also did a big mess when that guy waved the argentinian flag.
    anyway, how many argentinians go to the islands regularly?
    1, 2?
    not big deal.
