    ”Upon accepting the title, Petri said, “The close U.S.-U.K. relationship is an important constant in a rapidly changing world, and I thank Her Majesty for this most welcome, if unexpected, recognition of my small contribution to our partnership.”

    There is nothing to add, the article speaks for itself!

    Kirchner has already been recommended for an Honorary Order of the Chop.

    Obviously the UK government does. Which, by the way, is far more powerful than Argentina.
    End of.

    @6. Piles bothering you again? The inability to get more than two fingers round your dick? Another day with nothing in your ass? Here are some suggestions. Cut it off. It's pointless anyway. Try an 8 foot metal spike bound with sandpaper. There, something in your ass that will rip the hemorrhoids off at the same time. I'm told it's quite a thrill. Especially when the spike exits in the region of your collarbone. You may even be able to turn your head and give it a lick. Unless it comes up between your ears. No need to be concerned. It's not as though there's a brain there.

    “and who the heck cares about this asshole?”

    Clearly the Queen did not object to the award and she is head of the commonwealth-that's more countries than your Botox Queen rules...

    @12 cara de orto podrido

    Your “performance” deteriorates day by day - you really need for your mummy and daddy to take you to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. You are quite off your rocker!

    @12 paulcedron,
    l never said that l was a docile person, pauli-boy.
    l believe that Argentina has more Psychiatrists per head of population than any other country.
    Are you currently a patient, paul?
    l think that you should be.
    Only trying to help.

    “Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire”! Really, you can't make this stuff up. and Presented by “Sir Peter Westmacott”. I cannot imaging how approving Thomas Jefferson would be if he were with us now.

    But, of course, he waited until he was out of office before accepting this 'honor' from a foreign power. I cannot image what ever possessed the people of WI district 6 to elect this bozo but he could not get elected as the dog catcher now.
