”Pebble Island produced the most wool from the outer islands....

Pebble Island, which also produced of one of the most humiliating and costly defeats of the Argentine invaders in 1982. An enduring reminder of the characteristically disgraceful incompetence of the Argentine leadership.

Argentina's current Falklands invasion and annexation effort currently consists of 9,364 urban buses and other public transport vehicles plastered with slogans, 34 signs at frontier crossings, one crossbow, 3 .177-calibre Chinese air rifles, four oversized pistons for a 1964 Ford Falcon, one underfunded mental illness care programme, six size S Che Guevara t-shirts, a blurred photocopy of a May 1982 Gente magazine headline of “Seguimos Ganando”, one rusting sailboat currently being held by the Falkland Islands government, two leaky 8-person Zodiacs of 1978 vintage, and 9 expired glue and patch kits for the above mentioned inflatables.
