    Smart move to cast the net wide and bring in someone foreign. Especially as it deepens the networking of Falkland Island officials.

    Seems all the Argentineans sanctions and threats have amounted to nowt.

    @2. He doesn't appear to have any experience or knowledge of latam. A good indication that latam doesn't figure in the Falkland Islands' future.

    If you were such a knowledgeable and clever boludo(as you claim to be) you wouldn't be here making such stupid remarks. You would be doing a real job!

    Oh dear Paul, name calling again, typical Argie “ all mouth and no trousers ”. What's it to do with you anyhow what the FALKLANDERS want to do?

    @6, 8. What's the matter, fat fart, nothing intelligent to say? Of course not. You're an argie. A North Korean would be more acceptable. We need an international law authorising the impalement of argies on 12 foot spikes. Preferably wooden so they get the splinters as well!

    I wish Uruguay would also bring in foreign expertise when we don't have the necessary talent locally.

    Paul lacks the education to work at this level. Indeed these days most young Argentineans do.

    Also probably why Paul is currently unemployed.

    Once again your literate talents are on show! You must have a level of intelligence way below that of a flea. Do you realise what a fool you make of yourself?

    Anyway, I suppose your antics do amuse us from time to time as they make no positive contribution to the discussion.

    Here's a possible explanation of why Paulcedron is so interested in your alleged flatulence:

    I don't think your link takes me to where you intend.

    He is a silly boy - my name is Gordon, abbreviated to Gordo. In his stupid head he thinks that Gordo describes my appearance.

    if your nickname is “GORDO”, it is because you are a fatso.
    and taking in account all the shite you post the whole fucking time, you are not only a gordo, but a gordo tirapedos.

    so, gordo, tirapedos, imbécil, and even worse, boring to death....
    you should consider ending al that misery.

    When are you filing that flight plan to the Falklands? Or are you instead fixing your metal- fatigued pile of scrap with a CT scanner?

    Re: 19. Yes, please do tell us more about your planned flight. Which airport did you say you were planning to land at? Have you requested a permit to make the flight yet? From the Falkland Islands Civil Aviation Department, I mean.

    when?
    in 2 months approx

    and airport?
    what “airport”?
    those things you have there are aero clubs, not airports.
    and we are not going with my beautiful bonanza s35, but with a pilatus pc6.
    WHO needs an airport with that jewel, eh?

    all i will say, from now on, about my flight to the islets is:

    1. i will be there in 2 months +/-
    2. i want the best suite in the best “hotel” (you call hotels to those 3rd class hostels?) of the whole islet.
    3. i only drink waiakea hawaiian volcanic water or perrier. i WILL NOT accept anything else.
    4. i want a list of the best “restaurants” of the whole islet.,i WILL NOT accept those local meals, only spanish, italian, french or argentinian dishes. the same with wines.
    5. GOT IT?

    Islanders, I strongly suggest you charge Mr Paul Cedrón in advance for all services and purchases, in cash (pounds, euros or USD). That is, if he does make it to the Falklands at all, which I somehow doubt. It might be an idea to have a psychiatrist on call and a couple of strong male nurses with a straightjacket.

    Since when have you been drinking “waiakea hawaiian volcanic water”? It seems to me that your problems are caused by your consumption of this liquid!

    what do you wear to work as a secretary?
    a mini skirt and stilettos?
    yuck and double yuck.

    Ah, so if you arrive in minus 2 months your pc6 is now a time machine- I see.
    Why don't you return to 14th June 1982 to see your national flag being waved in droves as your mates take part in the race for Stanley, as they proved what exceptional athletes they were.

    2. i want the best suite in the best “hotel” (you call hotels to those 3rd class hostels?) of the whole islet.

    I'm sure you will be more than satisfied with the peat shed that has been exclusively reserved for you. With an Argentine 4WD mobility scooter available to whisk you speedily to wherever you wish.

    3. i only drink waiakea hawaiian volcanic water or perrier. i WILL NOT accept anything else.

    Except you forgot to mention how you can't wait to sample the purest Falkland spring water after it has passed through a CT scanner, (one of the many you will generously gift to His Excellency the Governor).

    4. i want a list of the best “restaurants” of the whole islet.,i WILL NOT accept those local meals, only spanish, italian, french or argentinian dishes. the same with wines.

    I would highly recommend the Greasy Kukri Curry Bar, with it's unique servings of Diddle Dee wine. (Better than that pesticide filled puke called Malbec).

    Ha haaaa! Ambush successful!

    What is left of your brain (transplanted from a retarded snail), has been fried by your CT scanner as evidenced by your posts which are devoid of anything approaching a basic level of intelligence.

    Watch out for those ASRAAM missiles as you make your unsuccessful attempt to dodge the Typhoons while approaching Princes Street run-way.
