If this is how you stinking isleters manage your oil exploration then obviously your oil production will prove massive f*”king disaster. That's what you get for trying to steal what doesn't belong to you. Give the filthy stinking islets back to us now you thieving f*^king pirates.

@ #1 Skip,
May 16th, 2015 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0You beat me to it!
We're all doomed, doomed, l say.
The malvinistas will now claim Western Australia!
I'm guessing it's traveled further than the Argentine navy in recent years. Good of it to find its way to another of the Queens realms, being a sensible little buoy it had the good sense to avoid washing up on Argentine shores, we can only imagine what shrieking agitated pronouncements Cristina would have come out with.
May 16th, 2015 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2 You do not seem to be very well informed even though you are using “paulcedron” foulness (stinking isleteers and f^^king pirates).
May 16th, 2015 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have you not noticed that the exploration for oil and the operating business is not conducted by the Falkland Islanders? It has been contracted out to oil companies with the appropriate expertise.
And, please note well, the Falkland Islands son, serán y siempre han sido territorio británico. NUNCA HAN SIDO NI NUNCA SERAN DE ARGENTINA.
Well it's not very big!
May 16th, 2015 - 12:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Que claims by TMBOA of 'miniaturising' the South Atlantic. :o)
Can I ask whom people are referring to when they mention TMBOA?

@9. This article must have been a massive draw for you. How disappointed you must have been when your 2-cell brain realised it wasn't the sort of 'boy' you're interested in.

That's right gordo take no notice of ...me.. no him....sorry us....

“The hull bears the scars of a 10,483 kilometre journey from the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic, through the Southern and Indian Oceans to the shores of Esperance in southern Western Australia, according to reports in the Australian media.”
May 17th, 2015 - 06:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you believe the malvinsts, the adrift buoy should have drifted to Argentina since it was just a 'stones throw' away from its shores. But instead it drifted to Esperance in WA. That just shows that in, terms of the natural forces of winds and tides and in spirit, the Falklands are in fact closer to Australia than to Argentina.
Err... what about me? Far more sensible....

there is no hope for you.
@23. Desperate for a 'hook'? I do hope that argieland dies soon. You will, of course, be a 'leader' won't you? Or will you be cowering in your cesspit hoping no-one will notice your shit-covered face? I recommend that someone steps on your head.

She often likes to feel buoyed-up, and carried along by the current of a good relationship. But that's for men- not buoys:)

Lol Jo-only the Malvanistas could be stupid enough to claim something they don't really want.
@9 Paul
“are you trying to steal the buoy too, you pirates?”
No, you will find Argentina has bought it to replace Liberturd as the Argentine flagship. It is being crewed with a SuperGaucho, like the ones your mate Korned Beef Kate warned us about in 1982 (except they never turned up -too busy having CT scans).

May 20th, 2015 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0To straighten up a few things:
May 24th, 2015 - 02:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The object “discussed” here is a Tailbuoy, which is at the end of Seismic Streamer-Cables towed behind Sesmic Vessels.
We lost it off the Falklands in November 2010. Since we were unable to recover it (we were towing 80 km of cables), and the weather-conditions too rough for our chasers, we just had to let it go.
The tracking-system on it let us pinpoint it to within 500 millimeters, NOT 500 meters, as indicated in the article.
-AND F.Y.I.: The “Polarcus Nadia” were, and is, flying a BERMUDA flag.....
