Once again....
Let's say it all together now, come on!

ANGLOS WILL BE ANGLOS!
The picture of Macri at Olivos makes me wonder: when La Yegua and her stablemates packed up their pilchas and moved out, did they sh*t upon the floors to the degree that the argie milicos did in the public and private buildings during their brief but uninvited squat in the Falkland Islands?

Dec 14th, 2015 - 12:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lots of people disliked Bush but at least he's kept himself out of public discourse and let Odumbo dig his own hole. I bet Odumbo won't do the same. He's a classless SOB with an agenda. He is lazy though so maybe he won't go around like the last failed Prez Carter trying to relevant.

Oh, that's right, he is black.
@10 Interestingly there was an article yesterday where the state of the Presidential buildings were discussed. Olivos has marks on the walls and is in need of a clean up. It really needs complete refurbishment but Macri stated they were mindful of not spending much money when they are asking people to make cut backs. And there was no hot water in the shower at Casa Rosada. I am not sure if that was CFK's preference or if she turned the hot water off out of spite.

Obama, Carter, LBJ, Truman, Roosevelt created terrible gov't policies that were still dealing with.

17. One of the reasons you see so many screeching wailing nervous Progs (Dems) in the USA is Odumbo was their best and final hope to drag the USA to the left and it was a complete and utter failure. They know they're not getting a 2nd chance. One more terrorist attack in the USA and there won't be a Dem elected for the next 30 yrs.

“Anglo culture”? At least they have a culture which seems to be appreciated world wide. I can't think of anything in Argentina which can be called culture...except the Tango....and of course the ritual tyre burning ceremonies.
You should be thankful and a bit more respectful to your betters,
However, a discordant note here, not quite as good as the Celts/Picts.
@7 Tobias
Dec 14th, 2015 - 05:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The problem with people like you is that you only allow freedom of speech and freedom of expression if the 'people' agree with you. When they don't then you screech and call them traitors, and say they're being 'undemocratic'.
In a truly free country anyone can say anything about anyone (as long as they don't insite others to violence). You can have an opinion about anything, you can even state that you believe someone is a traitor because of their beliefs, but one thing they won't be is undemocratic.
How many times is various countries (Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia) have we heard the term 'democratising' the judiciary or the press, when they haven't agreed with the government? People like you, Tobias, don't understand democracy, so are therefore afraid of it. You are afraid of anyone who is different to you or has a different opinion.
Dictatorships and pseudo-demcoracies can use the word democratic as much as they like, but it doesn't make them democratic. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (that's North Korea to you) is neither democratic nor truly a republic (as one family rules there...a Royal family in all but title...a monarchy in fact). These are just words. And will always be just words until they are backed up with deeds and actions.
Countries with 'Peoples' 'Republic' and 'Democratic' in the title tend to be war-torn hell holes or dictatorships.
Dec 14th, 2015 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Macri is attempting to unite the provinces to work for Argentina. It is better to have them in the inside of the tent pissing out. They are all cash-strapped. Santa Cruz is one of the worst because of the number of people on the government payroll compared to the income. They no longer have the constant flow of money being sent there by CFK's government. Interestingly, Max Kirchner told Alicia Kirchner to go to the meeting to ask for money. (Who is really running things there?) When everyone spoke at the meeting, bringing up insecurity, tackling the drugs trade, job creation etc. Alicia just asked for money.
@10 “when La Yegua and her stablemates packed up their pilchas and moved out, did they sh*t upon the floors to the degree that the argie milicos did in the public and private buildings during their brief but uninvited squat in the Falkland Islands?”
Dec 14th, 2015 - 06:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know about that, but apparently they removed furniture, computers etc. from both Olivos and Casa Rosada. Surely this is theft of government property? If it was up to me, I'd follow this up. If you can legitimately lock someone up for theft of a government PC then it gives you some time to find out what else they've been up to and you've removed some of their power to hide their tracks or make public statements. Remember, Al Capone was ultimately arrested for tax evasion rather than more serious crimes...
I've heard that CFK asked Macri for immunity from prosecution during their private meeting but he said it wasn't in his power - that was down to the judiciary. If true, good for him! Boudou is already in doodoo, who next?
I liked Macri's comment to the press on using the press room for the first time in 12 years “Were you able to find your way here OK?”
Apparently the governors also had positive comments on the meeting. There was no discussion with CFK-she simply ordered them what to do. I can't imagine that they'd want to go back to the K ways, must be a breathe of fresh air for them too.
Be interesting to see how it pans out with Alicia. I'm sure that if she simply asks for money, Macri will want to know what she wants it for. Could be embarrassing if she hasn't got a plan...
This is getting good!
Dec 14th, 2015 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Was the governor of Santa Cruz, Alicia K present?
Dec 14th, 2015 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@24 Yes. She was told by Max to go and she did. Santa Cruz is desperately short of money even though we saw the trucks of money sent there just before the 10th December. That only covers about half of the wages until March. (I am remembering this rather than fact checking) Santa Cruz has a huge payroll of Kirchnerites.
Dec 14th, 2015 - 07:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Another loss of income is to CFK's hotels. They used to be booked full by Kirchner run companies like Aerolineas. However, if you visited them when they were 'full', they were pretty much empty. Nice way to channel money into Kirchner's pockets.
The royal navy is to get 60 patrol boats to patrol the Argentine coastline,

THAT, of course is the elephant in the room and unless handled VERY carefully by Prat-Gay is likely to be very destructive to the economy.
But we said this last year, or the year before?
Irrespective of ideology there is a strength of leadership scale. On the left FDR would be universally recognized as at the top of this heap. Jimmy Carter has been judged at the bottom without regard to party affiliation.
Dec 14th, 2015 - 09:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I remember it Carters Presidency was dominated by the Iran hostage crisis. W would no doubt have nuked Iran and started WIII? As it is he has been a beacon of diplomacy and kindness around the world enhancing the perception of the US.

@ 30 Carter must have been pleased when Obama Hussein came along, since it took some pressure off the former's much-envied position as Worst US President Since WWII and Maybe Longer. But Carter worked hard to have his poor performance and counterproductive policies broadly recognised domestically. What may have been perceived as “ diplomacy and kindness” in Albania and North Korea were correctly perceived within the US as malfeasance, incompetence, timidity, endless dithering, and the sort of spine one associates with the more primitive cephalopods.

There are a few US federal agencies on the way to Argentina to assist in narcotics, law enforcement and some investigations, maybe KFC days are limited. Booboo can't leave the country.
@33 And the very real possibility of the case made by Nisman againstCFK being reopened. It was all over the media.
Dec 15th, 2015 - 12:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Given that the vote in the election was so close you have to wonder if CFK actually thought the election was in the bag for Scioli. She seems very vulnerable now.
Just remember who said letting the USA DEA investigate the drug trade would be an elegant way to get rid of CFK, her disgusting children and the minions.

Since I first became aware of the sauce so long ago I can't remember, it was pronounced wooster to rhyme with rooster. Just one of these peculiar quirks of the English language. Doubtless there are other variants of the pronunciation equally valid.

Then ask yourselves....is “The Voice” really from England...?
Does a Canadian know how to pronounce English place names...
Is an Australian as well travelled as he claims....
I'm going to forgive Clyde....I don't think he has lived in England as I have....
Oh and er......;-))))))))
Voice of Think… I have been to the original Worcester Sauce Factory and stood next to the massive teak vats that reek of vinegar and talked to the manager and operatives, and you are quite definately wrong (once again/as usual - take your choice).

“It rhymes with Buster... ”
More like Wusster - as used in the sentence, “wee man voice is a wuss...”
I laugh that wee voice has to “prove” it by referring to printed Wiki references, when we all know very well from real, life, experience from many parts of England and GB.
I have to admit that I'm not sure how the Geordies might pronounce it, or our sage of Glasgow/Dunoon, but if anyone has hearing problems its voice - or he truly does not know.

Hahahahaha....
What does it feel like to be proven wrong...again and again....
Yeah still on a roll....
You've only proven your limitations, what a fool you are.

All about little voice again.
Another big yawner...
Back on topic, what can you tell us of Macri and his policies? Nothing. Yeah, thought so.

Dec 19th, 2015 - 08:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for proving that I have a different accent to you. Also for proving I'm obviously not British. Neither of which I have ever claimed differently.
But if you think that I pronounce Worcestershire Sauce so that it rhymes with rooster...... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Maybe if I had an American accent.
Seriously I'm laughing.
This is what I was talking about when I said you nitpick, get stuck on minutiae and flood a thread. Unlike when you jumped on Yankeeboy's attack wagon the other day.
Glad to see you back to normal.
PS: We have a Berwick in Melbourne. Same pronunciation. However Launceston in Tasmania sounds nothing like Launceston in Cornwall. Don't get me going on Mousehole cthankfulky I dated a Cornish guy.
But then most foreigners mangle Australia, Melbourne, Prahran, Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong.... more so Yanks than Poms.

Dec 19th, 2015 - 09:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“voice” does try it on doesn't he!
“Wooster” as in Rooster!
“Wuster” as in Buster or bus!
“I looked in Wiki...”!!
“I listened to to the recording...” !!
Doesn't he know??
The real question is, why did he pose the question in the first place?? LOL!
What was he trying to prove??
Would he have chosen “ Worcester Sauce” if he didn't have all his ' research' all prepared to back him up??
Just more “voice” deflection and personal attention- seeking.
What a sad case.

“The real question is, why did he pose the question in the first place?? LOL!”
Can you seriously not read...how about you re-read @74....
I'm sure that post explains quite clearly why I mentioned Worcester Sauce....
...a Yank (YB) taking the piss out of the way a Canadian pronounces certain words...
...how could I resist...

Dec 19th, 2015 - 11:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For your info. I worked in London in 1961. I also lived in Bearsden from 1965/1971 which you no doubt realise is next to Milngavie. I was in the town practically every other day as my wife preferred shopping there. We still visit the town to go to the Lillie Gallery when there is an exhibition we wish to see.
I also surveyed the breeding birds of the area for 4 years, visiting every corner of
OS Square NS57 so I know it rather well.
As far as I am aware, the common pronunciation sounded like MILLGUY.
Some may say Mullguy others Millguy depending on how their vowels sound. In Drumchapel it would probably be Mullguy but they buy pints of mulk, in posh Bearsden it would be Millguy. In Milngavie it could depend to whom you are speaking. Many of the locals believe the name came from Gavin's mill and was corrupted.
Anyway, who the hell cares about nit picking, point scoring attempts over pronunciation. We all probably pronounce words subtly different even in the same geographical area.
A Geordie will say a boot, I will say a boat but we both know to what we refer.
I would say a spade and a Glaswegian would say an effing shovel.
Time to move back to the topic heading if anyone can remember what it was.

Dec 20th, 2015 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah I'm going to give you that Clyde....
There isn't much of an emphasis on the U..more on the ll so it could sound Millguy or Mullguy depending on the speaker....
Been there loads...meeting folk for the West Highland Way....

Dec 20th, 2015 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have never felt the need to do the West Highland Way, although I have walked the Mugdock woods to Carbeth section umpteen times, occasionally deviating to the Whangie, before they had even thought of naming the route.
Mugdock woods at that time was just known as the Bluebell woods...for obvious reasons.
Name dropping...I also knew Tom Weir when we were voluntary wardens at the Loch Lomond Nature Reserve in the 1960's.

Dec 20th, 2015 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Always wondered why, some of the habitué beacons of Engrish, Kanuk & Ozzie Turnipidity in here never suspected that bald & abnoxious fredbdc aka Yankiboy personage to be one of el Think's sockpuppets...
Hume's empiricist approach to logic would strongly suggest so...
