    “Hammond said that “this year, we pay tribute to the Commonwealth’s young people. Some 60% of the Commonwealth’s population are under the age of 30!”

    except in the islets where 90% of them are old farts.

    36% under the age of 30
    47% between 30 and 60
    18% over 60

    Just in case you were actually interested rather than trolling.

    once again old paul cannot just read an article, but has to make snide remarks.

    Suppose its something to do whilst waiting for the power to go off, or for CFK to arrange for more people who disagree to disappear.

    Out of interest, how many of your athletes support CFK?

    @5. An interesting answer. Does that mean argieland doesn't have any athletes because they're all pigging out on 55kg of chemically-contaminated beef a year? Or does it mean you lie because you can't help it? Being a blanked brain-dead imbecile!

    You should be careful about calling Falklanders farts. You might get in a lift with some and die from aphyxiation. Or perhaps, one day, you'll be forced to go there and a dozen might get together and blow you off into the sea.

    Your insults are so memorable that a group might decide to get together and sit on your face.

    ”This year, we pay tribute to the Commonwealth’s young people. Some 60% of the Commonwealth’s total population are under the age of 30. Their generation will develop economies, promote peace and lead the Commonwealth to thrive into the 21st century. They will build our collective future.

    ”In 2015, as we look forward to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Malta, we know that shared values and goals are the strongest foundation for each of the Commonwealth’s 53 members. Our young people will play a vital role at the very heart of democracy and it is right that we recognize their contribution, and their potential”.

    Nice quote.
    53 member countries, united in a common purpose of co-operation, development and understanding.
    Please contrast that with UNASUR or ALBA...

    @5 Can you confirm that Pauly? Do you have facts, figures and links to prove your statement? Or are you just a stupid liar who just thinks everyone agrees with you? Yes, yes you are.

    You are not an architect. You are not a pilot. You are not a surfer. Go away you cretin. No one likes you, you have no friends.

    Also, when will you be travelling to our lovely islands you obsess over so much? I'm sure you said you would be travelling here in a couple of weeks on another post. Maybe you could fly a plane here LOL.

    “except in the islets where 90% of them are old farts.”

    Why didn't you tell us before that you work at INDEC?

    imbeciles.
    it is easy.
    90 % of the islanders are in fact old farts.
    and 90% of that 90% are genetic aberrations, you know, fatsos, imbeciles and stuff.
    something like the genetic aberration @6, 8 and 11.

    got in now, fatty isleters?

    I hope you get well paid at INDEC, and that you enjoy talking to all the CT scanners.

    paulcedron,
    Another name for a gormless cretin.
    “Milord, its the monster”
    “That's not the monster, it's paulcedron”
    “Would Milord like the .5” Holland & Holland?“
    ”Don't be ridiculous, Smithers, throw a cucumber sandwich at the idiot. lt'll run off screaming when it gets hit with that!”
