    It is about time that Argentina realised that it will be annexed by the Falkland Islands within the next 25 years.
    That will be their biggest catch of fishy fuckers ever!

    @5 So officials found an issue with air traffic control systems and closed the airspace over London for safety reasons...... yeah that screams of a country in chaos....... or a modern country with safety regulations and procedures in place to deal with such situations. The Argies would just carry on and hope for the best LOL. Anyway what has this got to do with the Falklands thriving fishing industry. Mind telling me how Argentinas unregulated and over fished industry is doing? Oh by the way, thanks for destroying the Blue Whiting stocks you bunch of mongs, thanks to us it may make a recovery.

    Your level of English is very weak.
    Just like your Government.
    Oh and it is ilsen not “Ilsen”. Do have the good manners to address me correctly, if that is not beyond your capabilities?
    PS: both the singular and the plural of 'sheep' is 'sheep' , but I guess that is a little too sophisticated a concept for you?

    @3. Bad karma? Argieland has thousands of years of suffering ahead. Trying to steal British territory in 1820. Again in 1828. Again in 1832. Trespassing in 1964/6/8. An invasion in 1982. Something that will probably not be forgiven for at least 500 years. Talk again in 2490.
    @5, 8, 11, 14. Yes, we understand. London airspace closed because of some idiot with a radio-controlled aircraft flying into a controlled zone. Maybe a power failure. You'll be used to that. Something similar in argieland would probably have seen a dozen argie pilots crashing their aircraft. Have you got an airport with the same capacity? But then, argieland has very little in the way of inbound air traffic or radar coverage. Seven inbounds every other week? Most RAF aircraft could cross argie airspace with no chance of detection. And it will get 'worse' for argieland. So many ways in at Mach 2.

    Oh, by the way, London airspace isn't closed anymore. See how quickly we fix things! That's because we're TEN times better than you!

    As a matter of interest, why do you keep referring to your leisure centres? Isn't that what sheep are for you? Could it be that male goats get upset when they see you trying to shag their partners? We know you couldn't reach high enough to manage a cow. Do you get by with Kirchner and Castro? Head in the bag and away you go! Don't knock it. They're probably so desperate they'll even take you. Your 2 inches should be more than enough.

    Marquitos Alejandrito - why are you so immature as to make such a big deal of a temporary glitch in Britain's Air Traffic Control operations? Please explain what your problem is?
    The problem has been resolved and air traffic has resumed - your panic must be over!

    Immature NABO!

    Do TDC HAVE a major server handling ALL the flights out of the BsAs area?

    I suspect it is still done with marker boards which transit from controller to controller: ideal for fuck-ups.

    The fuck-ups being the argie AC's.

    I flown thousands of miles all across the world in my lifetime, thousands and thousands of miles.
    I flew across the Atlantic on Aerolinas Argentinas once.
    My one and only time. Never again.
    I cancelled my return ticket and resorted to Iberia (which is a bit shit).
    Once was enough.

    Argentina of course being an expert thief -pay your debts-scroungers.

    Considering many seats were missing in several aisles, and numerous oxygen masks dropped everytime we hit minor turbulence, I doubt they could afford such modern devices.

    I assumed it was one Nun for themselves, and 'none' for all....

    According to Marcos, England is in chaos

    But at least the Falklnd Islands has shitloads of fish. Nice British fish.

    Due to Argentina's incredibly myopic foreign policy, yet again it has missed out on sharing a fine harvest.
    They can always console themselves with the fact that they won Gold in their only National Sport, obviously the local competition of

    It was fishing that first attracted British to the Falklands over 250 years ago, it's good that the stocks are still sustainable and that the industry is going gang busters. That is the result of careful, responsible fishing management by the FIG. It's a shame that Argentina can't behave as responsibly in managing there natural resources.

    Since Argentina has a lot to say about protecting the environment in the South Atlantic, Britain and the Falkland Islanders expect them to back their rhetoric with responsuble behaviour. Big ask I know!
