Not at all.
May 06th, 2016 - 09:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is a wonderful country and it is a huge shame that our two nations, that share so much, are separated by one thorny issue. I have never met an educated Brit who has been to Argentina and does not like the country. And I have never met an educated Argentine who is not to some degree or other an Anglophile.

But that “thorny issue” is “thorny” indeed and neither Anglo Haughtiness nor Anglo Chivalry alone will make it dissapear...

May 06th, 2016 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Disappear no. But as thorny as it may be it should not be allowed to deprive us of the benefits of increased cultural and commercial exchange. There is a blackthorn in my beech hedgerow. I have often cursed its thorns, but besides trimming to keep it in line with the beech, I leave it be. The goldfinches nesting there are happy and it keeps me in sloes for my gin.
Cheers
PS: in the interest of cultural exchange, new beech leaves make a wonderful gin too. Do you know if this is done with your southern lenga (I am assuming they grow in your approximate vicinity)?
Stop bloody crawling to them, you sound and look more and more like European union crawling to turkey,

The sad thing is that I see bad times coming from western people due to our sense of freedom and lifestyle and both countries, the UK and Argentina, won't be able to work toghether for freedom due to the “pending” and “unsolved” issue.

The current problem down here at me patch is that a certain northern hemisphere Prunus Spinosa has overtaken some 12,000,000 sq km of its southern corner....

We wouldn't like a foreign agressive/invasive species to suffocate them lengas, ñires, and coihues growing just outside my door... would we...?

@10 Think
That does sound like a problem. Is there much being done about it?
One would hope the foreign aggressive/invasive species that introduced the foreign aggressive/invasive species would be out there with hacha in hand.

Its not as if argentina even needs the land or the resources admittidly the FIG would improve argentina political leadership by leaps and bounds.
The average middle-class argento neighbour can be most pleasant, helpful, generous, industrious, skillful, and amiable. I know this from nearly 40 years of experience and friendships.
May 06th, 2016 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Give that argento a uniform, a membership in a syndicate/union, a political position, a soft-science degree, or management of over 25 or so employees, and that same amiable person becomes a predatory animal with none of the morality or positive attributes of the lower primates.
That is why Argentina's only salvation would be to introduce some less corruptible foreign management and leadership to provide the guidance and re-education needed to bring the country up to the minimum standards of a respectable third-world backwater. Some nation with higher moral and cultural standards, such as Nigeria.

A single well-targeted submarine-launched cruise missile at the opportune moment could provide the sort of convincing that Argenzuela's so-called leadership might acknowledge, since they evidently understand no other way.

May 07th, 2016 - 05:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You stupid stupid Thing. Point out where I have said or criticised the election of a Muslim to be the mayor of London. I don't give a monkey's one way or the other. At one time I thought were faintly amusing in your posts -now I think you are just another scumbag Troll. Just my opinion.
The UK is going to be something - I'm just not exactly for sure what that thing is though.
May 07th, 2016 - 06:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mayor of London muslim.
London with a 37% foreign born population headed to 50% by 2031.
Enjoy!

As you can see, “Mimic ” @ 24, 26, now backs up Think, just like the voice puppet.
May 08th, 2016 - 12:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Mimic also pretends to be an American - shades of voice puppet's claims to visit and own property in Pennsylvania .
Mimic never contradicts Think or voice, for that matter.
Mimic jumps onside with YB/Luci, the Freds, to attack the UK and Commonwealth posters.
It's obvious that Mimic is ThinkVoice.
Cue voice and Mimi, cue the contrived “disagreement” thread
