The Islanders hopes dashed!. Better get back to digging your potatoes !

Feb 12th, 2016 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is indeed disastrous news for the islanders much vaulted top spot on the annual GDP league table. Oh well, plenty more fish in the sea. Meanwhile , in Agenzueula.....
Ach no Warf... They'll want to push forward and do most of this work while the oil price is low as the associated service prices are down as well... The level of equipment and manpower that money will buy right now is much better than a few years ago... The timing for a low oil price is spot on for the development that they plan... Then in ten years time when they are fully online with production they can sell the oil at much inflated prices to Argi-Land who should by then be in such a state of ill repair they'll barely be able to get a drop out of the ground anywhere... Frac the fracturing it'll never come to be... :)

Feb 12th, 2016 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can forget Timerman's claim that the Islands will belong to argieland within 20 years. Try to remember that argieland is still trying to find its way out of the Kirchner disaster. Long way to go. The GREAT Mr Singer still holds all the cards. No-one gets paid until he says so.
Come on Klingon! We know you just take the piss because you can't take anything else.
Feb 12th, 2016 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Macri has made a good start except for the nonsense over the Falklands and he could have moderated it just a little without losing face.
The bat-shit mad Peronistas and La Camping It Up (are they still around) will ALWAYS be rabidly anti the Falklands no matter what Macri does.
Pleased to hear oil is still on in the Falklands.

Feb 12th, 2016 - 04:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After all those good news we have heard lately about that new Engrish Pirate Oil Province in the South Atlantic...:
(Huuuuuuuuuuge oil discoveries..., mergers..., reverse mergers..., awarding of contracts etc, etc, etc...), I THINK it is time to keep a vigilant eye on the market price evolution of them Anglo Oil Companies that should have insured the economic stability of that constricted and dwindling Engrish Squatter population of the Malvinas Islands...:

No oil, Yet, prices are low , and countries in trouble,
Feb 12th, 2016 - 07:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's todays world for you,
but tomorrows world may well be different,
the Falkland's producing oil, prices are rocketing , countries waking up,
and the rich Falkland's may well be making massive profits,
who knows..?
Still not as bad as YPF.
