    Agua negra?

    Black water?

    Sewerage?

    Interesting name for a connection with Argentina.

    DON'T trust Timmerturd, Chile: he speaks with the same forked tongue as his turncoat father did.

    Why bother with the criminal neighbour next door? We all know they NEVER pay their debts and NEVER stand by treaties, always bleating 'we were forced to sign' when they don't want it anymore.

    @3. What a pity that these 'Protocols' have already been signed. I hope that Chile has taken adequate precautions. Some that immediately occur are burying more than adequate quantities of explosives to destroy any of these projects. Why? Well, there's the Martin Garcia channel dispute for a start. Ten years Uruguay has been waiting for argieland to comply with its responsibilities. Supposedly administered by a bilateral commission known as CARP. I wonder if it shouldn't be CRAP. Then there was the pulp mills dispute, that turned out to be based on argie lies and argie pollution of the Uruguay River. Presumably that's now overseen by another bilateral commission known as CARU. And, having lost the last time, argieland wants to trot off to the ICJ again. Because Uruguay authorised a production increase of 0.2 million tonnes! Hardly a significant quantity. But enough, it seems, to try to get the original ICJ judgement overturned. Then there was the instance of argieland refusing to buy its currency back. Poor little Uruguay, being co-operative, exchanges worthless argie pesos, only to find that argieland intends to defraud it. How long will it be before argieland finds an excuse to re-open the Beagle Channel dispute? And renege on another one of those treaties of 'Co-operation and Friendship' it loves so much. Hitler had a similar approach. Get baulked on something? Put it away for a while and then try a different tack. With all these friendly 'co-operative' measures, how much is Bachelet giving away? Or perhaps she just wants a chance to make the same amounts of money?

    @ 4 Conqueror

    Good synopsis but you left one out: the argies are (as of 5 weeks ago) STILL taking electricity via the River Plate cable and have yet to pay anything for it.

    I was hopeful the new heat wave would set fire to the cable (due to massive over-current draw) and cut them off.

    I would prefer to cut the thieving bastards off in another way but I live in hope.

    Did you finally find an Afro-Argentine to kill for Christmas? If not, you'll just have to go through yet another year “less than a man.” I've never understood that part, Chopper, you always appear to be “less than a man” whether you kill somebody or not.

    ”Hector Timerman underlined the current friendship between the two nations “which has never been seen before.”

    They can thank Britain for the current so called friendship. Argentina received such an arse kicking during the Falklands war that they have shelved their territorial ambitions in South America and 'embraced' their neighbours. They regard this new found solidarity as essential because it makes them feel less afraid and more secure.

    If Argentine had prevailed in the Falklands in 1982, which country was next in line for invasion?

    Merry Christmas Falkland Islanders and may there be many more!

    @12. How do you figure that out? Surely, if there are only 15M peronistas, they shouldn't be in power? Or is it 15M peronistas, 28M stupid. For my part, when my government says something, I research how it affects me. Naturally, peronistas wouldn't do that. So, the rest LIKE 41.6% inflation, failing industry, being classed as murderers and criminal pariahs? Perhaps there should be a new 'qualification' to be a voter in argieland. After all, the other day some numbnuts thought that the right to vote came from 'above'. Considering when 'democracy' started, I assume he was thinking of Zeus and the rest of the Greek pantheon. Or perhaps Odin (Woden) and the other occupants of Valhalla? Ahuramazda? Quetzlcoatl?

    In the countryside around me we have thousands of hectares of Sitka spruce in forestry plantations, all with needle shaped leaves held ALL THE YEAR ROUND!.

    Have you ever heard of a Christmas tree ?
