    “blablabla... and the organization believes the latest news could develop more opportunities for larger energy firms.”
    ”blablabla...should make the North Falklands basin a more attractive farm-in opportunity for bigger companies,”

    it seems these twats are desperate for a big company to exploit those cesspits.
    don't hold your breath, you twats.

    Meanwhile they illegally drill in the middle of nowhere in southern Argentina crude oil could cost as little as $40 per barrel in 2025.

    Marcus, Why are you so pessimistic ( typical Argie ) maybe the oil price will be US$ 200 in 2025. Maybe Argentina will cease to exist in 2025, who knows , but the FALKLANDS will be forever British well beyond 2025. I hope the oil companies finding oil in the FALKLANDS suck dry PUTA MUERTE.

    “Maybe Argentina will cease to exist in 2025,...”

    but there is a lot more possibilities that the falklands will cease to exist in 2025.
    you know, they are a tiny population, with a tiny genepool, with an average age of 70, and a life expectancy of 71, with no proper hospitals and no immigration.

    having a warlock instead of real medics does not help too mush either.

    i predict that the islets will belong to the penguins or to argentina in 2025.

    As you can see from the age demographic table on the right the mean age for Falkland islanders (excluding military personnel) is in the region of 40 to 44 years. Clearly it would be lower if Military included.

    So I formally ask you to retract your previous statement, inaccurately claiming the average age is 70.

    Also only 70% of the population are of British decent so at least 30% are immigrants, so please also retract “no immigration”.

    Finally if you have been watching An Island Parish you will see the Falklands has a very fine and up-t0-date hospital.
    Again please retract your inaccurate statement.

    Oh dear!
    You have got it all wrong.
    How many Argentine women would prefer to marry a sophisticated European man rather than some knuckle-draggin local throwback.
    That is the question that should most concern you.

    Meanwhile the oil exploration continues and there is nothing Argentina can do.
    Keep licking those windows, jealous little trolls!

    Investing money in “third level” oil companies in a remote and disputed area with the barrel at U$D 50/60 doesn't seem to be a “brilliant” business unless you like to make bets. It's a matter of deciding either a casino or the FI basins.

    @21 Klingon
    So, that walnut effect skin Argy women circa 30+ seem to have, is that an effect of the climate down there, or do they just spend hours and hours under sun beds?

    @24 pgerman
    How is the drilling going in Dead Cow?

    Found anyone prepared to invest more than chump change in it?

    When do you expect any production from it, or will that be your grandchildren?

    And what do you know about “business” anyway.

    argentine women under 30 or over 30 are considered between the most beautiful on earth, you league of smegheads.

    english and isleter women, on the other hand, are known for being the ugliest.
    not to mention the drunkest and fattest.

    In practical terms - NOT beauty contests - if you want to see women with extra big feet and enormous hips go to Argentina. If you want see beautifully proportioned women goes to Chile, Colombia or Costa Rica.

    Argentine women, despite their large shoe sizes, are generally attractive until about 30 when they start growing a mustache. (I know this from personal experience.) it's believed to be an ethnic problem due to a high concentration of southern Italians in their race. (Chilean Italians are generally from Genoa and Milan. You really can note the difference.)

    Anyway, they chose the WRONG military junta to reconfigure their political system. At least that's my theory.

    I was deeply in love wit a girl from Mendoza in he 70's... Thank God a Chilena capturen my heart instead.

    By the way, look what happens to those wonderful “trade deals” with the local loan shark for Venezulea, Brazil and Argentina.

    Maybe in the 70's hair was a problem, but every Argentine girl I have been with in the last 10 years only had hair on her head.

    Last Chilean girl I had made a battle hardened man like myself blush. ( Glad I remembered not to use her toothbrush in the morning). ;)
