Disclaimer & comment rulesI think with a name like Ulia Sytchova it would belie the claim that the islanders are British Implants.

Nov 07th, 2015 - 12:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Whatever the names, they are a pair of attractive young women.
Nov 07th, 2015 - 05:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hope they have a good time in Australia and get to tell the other young people of the Commonwealth about the Falklands and Argentina's imperialist colonial ambitions in that area.

Well Mr Timmerman, Australia must acknowledge the existence of the Islanders-so that's everyone agrees with Argentina ............except for Australia.
Nov 08th, 2015 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina and Australia. Both large ex-colonies with many resources.
Only one is actually going anywhere.....
probably wisely packing their bags to head back to civilization this very minute.

sheep and rain -or- shops and sun.
Vestige- Since both studied for several years in England , they are well up to date with life options in other countries - and appear to have made their choice.

Nov 09th, 2015 - 06:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0The heat in Darwin can be absolutely brutal for those not used to it. They may well return to their Island's refreshed but relieved.

Thanks, Vestige. Good demo that Australia or the Falklands are both likely to spare them from the misogyny of a visit to Argentina.
7 - I doubt there was much choice involved since they seem early 20s.
Nov 09th, 2015 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Probably did their highschool in England, graduated and returned to the outpost.
Given some resources and options no young woman could really want to stay in the greater metropolitan area of Stanley city.
Where are the coffee shops, the shoe shops, the clubs and genetically compatible males.
UK mainland is a much smarter option.
Vestige-120. The Islands have moved a bit from the ancient tribal customs of male dominance and women told what to do - maybe still the norm in Argentina, but here people aged 18 either sex can make their own decisions where they live.

Where are the coffee shops? ? ?....
Where are the hotels and CT Scanners too, perhaps??
You sound a lot like Paul Cedron, and in several ways... :-)

Nov 09th, 2015 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Both went to college and university and decided to return to the Falklands to live and have a career. Feel free to ignore the facts if they don't fit with your vision of the islands. That is your problem.

I would have thought that 1300 young people.... the majority between the ages of 18/30 would have provided enough genetically compatible males with the added advantage of no regressive Latam genes.
12 - or maybe, just maybe, Im not the first to think this.
Nov 09th, 2015 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0look, anyone whos not past it, a flag waving nut or just plain broke/otherwise unable would be out of that hamlet and back to civilization so fast the local curtain twitchers wouldnt know what hit them.
Thats why so many only live there seasonally - youd go bonquers.
oooooh look ladies - home furnishings, and perfumey stuff.

Nov 09th, 2015 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In your attempt to be clever and glib, your smarminess gives you away.
honestly, “curtain twitchers”?? I can't think of any real ESL Argentine resident using such a colloquial turn of phrase, and combined the ongoing condescension and misogyny, you sound remarkably like a number of other Trolls who don't really live in Arg, or reflect the true feelings of educated Argentinians.

Nov 09th, 2015 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, if you are a shallow, consumer orientated led excuse for a human being, maybe you cannot understand people who enjoy and are happy in this environment. Maybe they should swop their life styles for the best of Argentina in the villa miserias.
I am sure that estancias in Patagonia are just a few miles from shops, theatres and the trappings of civilization.
There are isolated communities all over the civilised world. The people there seem quite happy with their lot.

How many islanders have you seen go barefoot?
Argentines need shoe shops because they shoot themselves in the foot so much, so having to buy shoes every day.
Where in the Falklands are the debts and threats from 'vulture funds?
Where are the massed tyre burning displays?

Nov 12th, 2015 - 01:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Look at those Job Titles. Yet the trolls seek belittle them as second-class citizens...
Misogyny and deep insecurity, me thinks...
'nuff said.
I imagine these women have no a Gide qualifications appropriate for their positions.
Nov 12th, 2015 - 06:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0However, the Arg Trolls seem to regard them much as they regard the witless Arg. Ambassadors, Ms. Nahon and Ms. Castro.
If callous deceit is a qualification, Castro and Nahon have it in spades.
