nervous? I think not. Only in your very skewed way of 'thinking' perhaps. Don't judge others based on what happens in Argentina. The rest of the world is quite different.
Feb 10th, 2015 - 08:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am quite sure the countries mentioned will welcome future trade links, especially when the oil begins to flow. All three know that Argentina is a busted flush, of which no good will come.

Feb 10th, 2015 - 08:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK Ambassadors don't have quite the same role as Argentine ambassadors, whose job it is to impress the domestic Argentine audience by offending their hosts abroad. See Castro, Nahon, etc, etc.

Feb 10th, 2015 - 09:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0since NO ambassador of any nation of the world would go to the stinky islets in his fucking life, the poor isleters have to settle with the visit of the ambassadors of britain in the region...lol
and what economy and opportunities are these twats talking about?
none of the countries of the region are interested in a bunch of penguins, a bunch of stray sheep and tons of guano and sheep droppings, you pelotudos.
and if one of those countries would be interested, the UNASUR, CELAC, MERCOSUR, etc, would ban it immediately.
Isolating the islets is the way to go.
FCO, is the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. Nothing else. Just becuase you don't like it does not mean you can just pretend it is something else. Oh yes, actually you can. As an Argentine living in clould-cuckoo land where you can pretend the real world doesn't exsist and hide from your massive debt obligations.

“getting itchy” ??
Don't make such a fool of yourself. It is their role to strengthen alliances and build trade. It's their job. You know, actual work! Unlike Argentine Ambassadorships which are handed out to loyal accolytes in some form of twisted reward programme. Their only chance to live in the 1st World perhaps?
The main difference being that UK Ambassadors are Civil Servants of the Crown, not half-arsed incumbent-party honchos.
Finally, I don't think Ms Fiona Clouder is one of the 'lads'.
Are you that thick?
Johnny, what you do want to be when you grow up?

And no-one would care in the slightest if they did.
When will you realise that these are just 'talking-shops' and are utterly inconsequential outside of their useless meetings. UNASUR, CELAC, etc do not have binding powers over sovereign countries, or any power at all. Like yourself, they are just shouting in the wind.
PS: Chile is not a member of MERCOSUR and therefore any 'ban' would be treated with derision.
Did you not know that about MERCOSUR? Go read a book or something. You are too uneducated to post here.
2015 and the Falkland Islands are still British.
Feb 10th, 2015 - 10:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing to be nervous about and still hasn't had any effect on the UK's relationship with a Chile, Uruguay and Brazil.
Actually the only country that has this reality has had any negative effect on is..... Argentina.
Every year Argentinean pressure is supposed to be ratcheting up and the UK is supposedly running scared/nervous/being damaged/blah blah blah.
Can someone tell me if this will change or will I be saying the same thing in 2016... 2017... 2018... ?
Nothing changes except that the levels of Argentine hysteria either climb or fall depending on the domestic economic problems. Outside of that the World pretty much ignores them and recognises the Right of Self-Determination of the Falkland Islanders.
Feb 10th, 2015 - 10:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So weak is the argument espoused by Argentina it has to resort to the likes of El Think-spittle attempting to make asides about colonies. Even his crappy 'humour' is out-dated.
The Argentine Ambassador to the US could learn some skills from ours. Telling the US government to stop interfering in the Nisman investigation was naive, im sure Fox News and the New York Times will stop running stories on Nisman's state sponsored assassination because Miss Nahon would quite like them to.

Geee - sound's like Think is getting itchy :-)
Feb 11th, 2015 - 12:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sounds more like a co-ordinated attack to me - now that Argentina is on the back foot. No UN resolution since 1988, no General Assembly recognition of a sovereignty dispute since 1984. Oh, and of course, the UN now recognises that in decolonization cases there is “no alternative” to self-determination.
Sounds like Argentina has a few nails in its own coffin Think :-)
it seems there is something you cannot understand, ladies and gentlemen from the islets.
Feb 11th, 2015 - 02:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0and it is that you are a population of only 1500 souls, and 75% of them are older than 70.
and life expectancy there is +/- 72 years
so, we can say that the islets are, basically, a geriatric.
now, older people are not great consumers, except for adult diapers, medicines and coffins.
so we return to the original point: who the fuck can be interested in those stinky islets?
nobody with a bit of a brain.
@20 I can't be bothered to explain about why everything in this comment is a lie or incorrect. So I will first ask you, why are you so stupid?

@25 ilsen
Feb 11th, 2015 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0He won't reply to that question, he'll just insult, try to divert or run away. That's his normal behaviour.
For instance on the story about the FCO opening a Diplomatic Academy, he asked (in the worst English I've ever seen him use - different shift at La Campora HQ perhaps?) what have the English ever contributed to the world EVER.
So when I and others showed him a tiny portion of what the English had done, and mentioned that if we included the Scottish, Welsh and Irish since we are British too, then the amount of scientific, medical, industrial, literary, musical, legal and military inventions and discoveries made might well be into the 10's of thousands if not the 100's of thousands.
When I asked the question just what has Argentina contributed to the world he went very quiet and hasn't returned to comment on that thread.
So it is of little wonder that he claims things. When he 1st started posting on these forums I believe he used to 'brag' about his expensive cars and his polo playing. Of course he doesn't do that anymore as he was outed as a waster and a fraud.
So what can we expect? He and the other La Campora trolls will never (because they don't want to) accept reality.
They cannot understand that the reason these British Ambassadors are visiting the Falklands is so they can better understand the wants, needs and INTERESTS (just like the UN states that the UK and Argentina should) of the Islanders, so they can better represent those interests in Brazil, Uruguay and Chile.
There is nothing like 1st hand experience to allow people to understand the situation.
And that is why the trolls are trying to rubbish this, because they know that Brazil, Uruguay and Chile are planning to extend diplomatic ties, trade and commerce with the Falklands and they just can't stand it.

And guess what. You'll never have them. The full weight of your government, i.e. the most powerful organisation in your land, using every means, has only served to row your boat backwards, away from the Islands. Your failure is glorious to behold.

Probably best not to try banning anything, Pablo. It would be a breach of the UN Charter. More evidence that shitland is a pariah 'state'.
@9. Stevie, what do you want to be IF you grow up? Or have you got as far as you're going?
@20. How about a bit of accuracy, Pablo Shitfull? Note; ”The islands' age distribution is skewed towards working age (20–60). “ AND ”According to the 2012 census, the average daily population of the Falklands was 2,932, excluding military personnel serving in the archipelago and their dependents.“

Who's a provable wanker then?
@23. Quiet, girlie. I've lost track of the number of hundred times you've said the same thing. No-one cares! Are you incapable of noticing that anything before 1982 is irrelevant? The Duke of Wellington died in 1852. Years before argieland was even a legally-recognised country. Try this instead ”In 2009, British prime minister Gordon Brown had a meeting with Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and said that there would be no further talks over the sovereignty of the Falklands.” Nothing, nada, cero, wala, niks, zero, naid, sifar. Most of which also apply to you. Get it yet, tosspot? Or are you as thick as the slag in the Pink House. On a point of information, that gaping entrance. Is that your mouth or the space between her stumps? I remember videos when she was just bandy-legged!

When you start swearing and insulting people, paulcedron, you show yourself up as an ignoramus. You have no valid, logical argument so you resort, like a child, to name calling. Pathetic.
Now back to the question of yours I answered on the FCO Diplomatic Academy thread. You asked (in your vulgar and badly grammatical way) “what england has been done since its f*cking creation.”
I explained just a tiny fraction of what the English have done for the world. Then I asked you a question which you have thus far declined to answer. So I ask again.
WHAT has Argentina EVER done for the world?
Stop dodging the question and answer?
If you don't answer then we'll all know why. It's because Argentina has contributed NOTHING of any note to the world and you're too embarrassed by your jealousy fuelled rant about 'England' to comment on it again, aren't you?

@48 The headquarters of the Bank of London and South America in Buenos Aires was created in 1959 by Argentine architect Clorindo Testa. It is located in San Nicolás.
Feb 11th, 2015 - 08:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In 1959, a design contest was announced for the project by the Bank of London and South America. The land was located on a street corner in the Buenos Aires CBD, an area housing nearly half the nation's financial activity. The winning design was submitted by the Clorindo Testa team, associated with SEPRA, a society composed of architects Sánchez Elía, Peralta Ramos and Agostini.
The project's architectural approach was among the most far-reaching and well-known local contributions to international architecture of the 1960s, as well as the country's most easily identifiable example of Brutalist architecture.
The building, completed in 1966, was occupied by the local Lloyds Bank branch during the 1980s and early 1990s, and in 1997, was acquired by the newly privatized Banco Hipotecario.
This edifice was inaugurated by the Duke of Edinburgh during a visit to Argentina.

But thank you for proving my point regarding your lack of intelligence. Instead of putting forwards a logical, coherent argument you rant, rave and insult.
You know that you haven't got a legal right to the Falklands and you want to steal them, just like your forbears stole the land now called Argentina, from the natives.
Shame on you.
And yet despite all of your rants and insults the Falklands are still British and your South American 'brothers' are laughing at Argentina behind your backs whilst increasing ties in diplomacy, trade and commerce with the islands.
Poor Argentina. The spoilt child who wants to play with everyone else's toys so has been put in the naughty corner whilst throwing a tantrum.
All the mature people look on with amazement as Argentina spits its dummy out of the pram and screams 'it's not fair,' then throws another temper tantrum.
But no one cares.

The IAAC Catalan is actually in the top 10 world ranking architecture schools and universities (as voted for by the 'general public') and the only one where Spanish is spoken, hence why I think our little paulcedron choose it. I mean it's not hard to google stuff like that, is it?
Here are the top 10 in order of quality (according to the poll).
1. Southern California School of Architecture (SCI-Arc) - USA.
2. Architectural Association (AA) - UK.
3. Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) - USA
4. The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - Denmark
5. University of Tokyo - Japan
6. Technical University Delft - Netherlands
7. ETH Zurich - Switzerland
8. Institute for Advanced Architecture Catalan (IAAC) - Spain
9. The Glasgow School of Art - UK

Assuming paulie actually attended the IAAC, I doubt he graduated, he sounds more like a dropout than a dedicated worker.
As for the Scottish Parliament building I personally don't like the design. It's overly 'fancy' and doesn't really fit in with the historic and grand architecture of Edinburgh. No wonder it went 21 million pounds over budget, far too fancy for what it is. Looks more like a shopping mall from the outside than a solemn place where the business of government is done.
But there is no accounting for taste. I'm sure plenty of people like the design.

so, just in barcelona you have 5 buildings awarded with the pritzker prize.
you cannot even find 1 (one) in london, being a lot larger city.

I saw it under construction and took a tour. Both my wife and I thought it was radical to say the least. Not my personal cup of tea, but I was very impressed that it was unique to anything I had ever seen before.
Anyone who's had the privilege to visit Gaudi's ongoing vision in Barcelona can only marvel at its incredible design.
My point in all this is simply that we should not lower our discussion to the level of Paulcedon's ignorance. His delusions of claiming he is a student of design is laughable and a perfect example of what a poor pathetic liar he is.
Anyway, the new center of architectural design is now Chile. Thanks to our free market economy and strict building codes (we have to because of our intense earthquakes), we have a number of new beautiful modern structures here that have been recognized by international critics as world class. This includes the tallest building in the World's Southern Hemisphere. Meanwhile, Buenos Aires, once described as the “Paris of South America” deteriorates.

Oh well Paulie you can but try, it's a shame you are so consistently shown to be bending the truth. A bit like your government eh. Well here is my 2 peneth for you Paulie, back in the 90's I worked as part design team for the Tate Modern Project as the UK Assocaite Landscape Architect to Kienast Vogt for the External Works to the Gallery, I also worked with Fosters on the Millenium Bridge on the landing for the Tate Side and the St Peters Hill side as I was the Landscape Architect in the team that redesigned the access through Peters Hill from QV street to St Pauls. So I have in fact worked on two Pritzker Prize winning design teams.

He is an ignorant fool who cannot understand that what his pathetic government says and what is reality don't match.
His government says the whole world supports them.
Then there are numerous people on here from many different countries in the world who refute that statement (not to mention the numerous news items showing countries doing business with the Falklands), so therefore in his own mind we must all be Falklanders.
It is even more telling of his jealousy that he is always rubbishing the islands (why would anyone want to live on some barren windswept islands) yet he is desperate for the islands himself.
Pathetic is really too kind a world to describe him, but I wouldn't want to be rude.
By the way paulie I'm British of English, Irish, Welsh and Italian descent. I've lived in the UK all my life with the exception of 3 years whilst I was in the British Army and I was stationed in Alberta in Canada.
I've never visited the Falklands, but would like to, but I would back their right to self determination to the ends of the Earth and back again.

The Financial Times reports Chile ”has long been architecturally literate, with some 44 architecture schools for a population of 18m. (Britain, by comparison, has about 50 such schools for 64m inhabitants.)“ Argentina with over 42 million has only 20 schools.
And the really great thing about my country is that we're constructing new buildings as our economy is growing, not declining into a cesspool like yours.
For a beautiful example of Santiago's modern skyline:

By the way, the 8.8 earthquake we experienced in Santiago was ranked as the sixth largest earthquake ever to be recorded by a seismograph. Very few of our buildings were seriously damaged, which attests to high standards of Chilean structural engineering.

Of course Argentinas hands are hardly clean either with acts of genocide, which are still continuing today as you starve the surviving natives out, and of course the thousands upon thousands of disappeared people within the last 50 years.

But the British have contributed to the world as we know it today. It's thanks to the British that world still isn't agriculture societies where peasants had to scrape living out of small plots of land whilst working their masters larger estates.
It's thanks to the British that billions have been saved from dying from diseases due to vaccines, antibiotics, antiseptics etc...

When I was just a lad during the Allende presidency, we would cross over the Andes to what we thought was near heaven. No rationing of food. All the toilet paper you could want and consumer goods galore! The girls were attractive and the people were prosperous. The steaks served in restaurants were the size of hubcaps! Ford Falcons were everywhere and it seemed that almost every Argentine family owned a car.
Santiago on the other-hand was a nightmare. Women marching in the streets banging on empty pans. They even threw bird seed at the feet of military officers, implying they were “chickens”...
Our transit system was a disaster, private companies were being seized by the corrupt government, our money was nearly worthless, endless labor strikes, communists were planning to eliminate those who threatened the Socialist revolution and my father sent me to study outside our country as there was no future. Argentina was a paradise... Buenos Aires WAS the “Paris of South America” and it was amazing.
If you travel to BA today, you arrive at a dysfunctional outdated airport, you'll have a high probability of getting mugged by your taxi driver from the airport, being swindled by the casa de cambio when you exchange Dollars, treated to a “choice” grade of beef at the restaurant instead of “prime” grade as in the past, and you'll overpay for a bottle of Malbec as they sell a lower grade vintage under the same label as their famous exports. You see a few new buildings under construction, but most of the city you'll notice is in decay.
On the other hand, Santiago recovered from its Socialism 1970's nightmare and is vibrant with great optimism, despite having a left leaning Socialist President because we are generally honest hard working people that care about our children's future. We pay our debts, balance our national budget and respect private property.
So who's full of shite?
Chicureo, just ponder this for a while:
Feb 13th, 2015 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Buenos Aires might have been called “The Paris of South America”. However, even it its most splendorous times, Buenos Aires didn't come even close to be Paris.
Mendoza has never been a more transcendental city than Santiago. Even if circumstantially you went there to get what wasn't available to you at the moment.
I totally agree with you, Argentina might have seemed like a paradise back then. Look at us now.
You don't have to preach to the choir here. I know what you mean by Socialist nightmare. Chile had to endure through very tough times. Look at Chile now. I read some other posts that Chile might become the first fully developed country in LatAM. I totally agree and applaud that.
Everything you say about the our airports, the risks of being mugged, etc, etc, ... absolutely true. Yet, BA is still BA. You can live here and still walk the streets (except in some notoriously bad parts of town). Can you get mugged? Oh yeah ... you could. That doesn't keep people from going out and enjoying what is good about this town. Just keep in mind that BA suffers from the regular illnesses of big urban areas. Add to that a socialist nightmare. Add to that a big percentage of reckless drivers ... wow!
BA still has a lot to offer. And it certainly has accomplished a lot culturally. And that shows. Would you call that “in ruins”?
Look buddy, you don't need to resort to opportunistic and inaccurate remarks to feel proud of your city. You already have a lot to show. Make the most of it. You can compare Santiago to Melbourne, or Toronto. Same league, wouldn't that be more constructive?

I have searched the internet for Argentina's inventions and discoveries and have come up with NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH. ZERO.
Yet it was you who was blasting the English with your badly and grammatically incorrect question “what england has been done since its f*cking creation.”
So the English and British have invented and discovered thousands upon thousands of things that have benefited the whole human race since its creation and Argentine has done feck all for the human race since its creation.
Not ONE thing.
Oh, and paulcedron, if you are going to insult people like the petulant loser you are, you could at least try to get it right. It's internet not interenet. Just by the quality of posts people can see which of us has a brain and which of us doesn't (psst guess what - you're the brainless one). I'm not a Falkland Islander but quite frankly I don't think that you inferring that I am one is the insult you seem to think it is.
Oh and paulie the Falkland Islands are STILL British, just like they were yesterday, and just like they will be tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. And you'll still be a forth rate loser, from a country so mired in corruption and too lazy to do anything about it, that is about to implode.
No wonder you are so angry paulie. No money. No job. No future. No Falkland Islands. No Uruguay. No Chile. No Paraguay. No Brazil. No Antarctica. No oil. No food. No hope. And the icing on the cake is that you are all soon to be serfs of the Chinese.
with just 2 or 3 posts, i taught you, ignorant islanders, the existence of the IAAC, the architectural association, some great catalan, scottish, argentinian and chilote architects, the name of the most remarkable buildings in south america, and all that for free.
Feb 14th, 2015 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0so the logical answer, if you were a group of decent bennys, would have been: thank you.
but being you lot a bunch of uneducated & ungrateful benny-hillbillies, your response is insults.
not a surprise.

You're an idiot, boy.
How did you get out of the asylum?
@109 paulcedron
Feb 14th, 2015 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No paulie you haven't educated anyone. You have shown yourself up to be an uneducated buffoon who can use google.
It took you long enough to find a Spanish speaking architectural school though, didn't it?
And still it isn't one of the 'best' universities in the world (as you were boasting). It doesn't come close, and the ranking it has was voted upon by the general public, not by an independent body who looked at important things like course content, regulation of examinations, and percentage of students passing said examinations, writing thesis' etc.. that would show just how successful teaching methods were.
So really you have proved nothing, done nothing and yet the Falklands are still British today, just like they were British, and have been British since 1690. And they'll still be British tomorrow, and the next day and so on for as long as the people of the Falklands wish it.
Argentina, like yourself paulie, is a loser.
If it wasn't such a loser country then the people of the Falklands might've volunteered to become Argentine. But a leopard can't change it's spots, can it paulie?
FALKLANDS ARE BRITISH!
Poor paulie, are going to go and cry in a corner now?
the existence of the IAAC

Feb 14th, 2015 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As you appear to believe that “benny” and “hillbilly” are demeaning insults permit to say that the only benny/hillbilly who appears in the posts is YOU!

Feb 14th, 2015 - 11:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The joke's on him; most people don't mind 'benny' or 'hillbilly'. People often call themselves those things. The joke is that we are neither, but we like to play up those aspects of Falklands culture.
“with just 2 or 3 posts, i taught you, ignorant islanders, the existence of the IAAC, the architectural association, some great catalan, scottish, argentinian and chilote architects, the name of the most remarkable buildings in south america, and all that for free.”
Feb 15th, 2015 - 07:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0So in other words..... he knows how to use Google.
I see Paul is now attempting to play down his claim of “the IAAC of catalonia had the honour of having me as a pupil”.
Google can teach you a lot. But it can't help with inconsistencies.

Feb 15th, 2015 - 07:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0let's see...
from post #110 to post #115 we have personal insults only.
nothing else.
not even 1 idea or argument.
of course, nobody expects more from you.
now, the case of isolda is a bit different, cause she denotes a sick obsession with me.
very disturbing.
you have to visit the booby hatch, iso.

Feb 15th, 2015 - 08:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“not even 1 idea or argument.”
Something that is a rarity in most of your posts.
@116 paulcedron
Feb 15th, 2015 - 08:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the Falklands are still British no matter how much you cry and beg paulie.
And the Falklands will still be British tomorrow and the next day and so on and so forth, and Argentina will still be crawling, begging and crying to any tinpot dictator that'll listen.
And the Falklands will remain British until the people of the Falklands decide otherwise.
And Argentina will still be impotent and unable to do anything but crawl, beg and cry. And your government will still steal from you paulie, and give your country away piece by piece to China.
And still the Falklands will be British.
Gonna cry again? Insult again? Because at the end of the day, paulie, that is all your posts are full of, insults and lies, and then you cry 'foul' when people respond in kind.
Then you lose your temper because you know that you have no future and you're jealous of the Falkland Islanders and the fact that despite only being a small community they outclass Argentina at every turn.
@116 paulcedron,

I don't know if you had issues searching on google, but:
Dr. Luis Agote devised the first safe and effective means of blood transfusion. (Albert Hustin did one a litle before with a more diluted solution of blood)
Dr. René Favaloro best known for his pioneering work on coronary artery bypass surgery
Dr. Domingo Liotta created the first artificial heart in 1969, revolutionizing the heart transplant field
Bernardo Houssay He is the first Argentine and Latin American Nobel laureate in the sciences
Luis Federico Leloir his research into sugar nucleotides, carbohydrate metabolism, and renal hypertension has led to significant progress in understanding, diagnosing and treating the congenital disease galactosemia
César Milstein together with Georges Köhler developed the hybridoma technique for the production of monoclonal antibodies, this discovery led to an enormous expansion in the exploitation of antibodies in science and medicine.
Dr. Francisco (Paco) de la Cruz research on experimental determination of vortex melting and vortex matter properties in layered superconductors
Juan Martín Maldacena: proposed the AdS/CFT correspondence, the conjecture about the equivalence of string theory on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and a conformal field theory defined on the boundary of the AdS space
I dont say anything about peace nobel prices because Obama got one, and he just keep sending war to half the globe.
I just wanted to clarify about your idea that Argentina didnt made any inventions and discoveries.
For example Milstein (His parents were Máxima (Vapniarsky) and Lázaro Milstein, a Jewish Ukrainian immigrant) did not patent his enormous discovery since he believed that it was mankind's intellectual property.

So that's why most of the argy bloggers on here talk the same nonsense...
