Just waiting for the argies to start whining and crying,

Is that the P.O.S rig they dragged over from Africa?
Looks pretty old and rusty in the photo. But I guess it will fit right in with the container hotel.

@2 It's a temporary accommodation block, not a hotel. Surely even you can get your head round that.

Keep telling yourself that in 15 years time when those rusting hulks are an eyesore on the Island.
It is just a bad idea and a quick cash cow for the constructor.
You could buy a boatload of Bolivians and bricks to come and build something decent for about the same price.

If you can see any sign of rust on the Erik Raude you've got better eyes than me, and everybody else. In the photo I can see it looks green; and I get the feeling you're green also. Green with envy.

Is that why you call yourself Klingon? Because you like to Kling on to hope that it will fail for us?

Chuckle chuckle.

Good luck to you FALKLANDERS. Am I right in thinking Jo that you have already sold the hotel to the Villa 31 cartel as I understand it they only have cardboard and wood shacks. Klingon it will be written in the contracts that at the end of their lives the containers would be used for another pupose, perhaps a jail for all your subhuman visitors to the FALKLANDS.

“But I guess it will fit right in with the container hotel. ”

The workers within will be earning a lot more money than most Argentines so I doubt they will worry about their accommodation.
