Disclaimer & comment rulesCrikey - eighty quid per volume! That's over £ 400 plus postage and packing for the 5 volumes.
Jun 20th, 2024 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse -4How many copies does Mr Pascoe expect to sell of these (and are they completely in Dutch and Latin or just the relevant extracted documents)?
Has the whole publication actually been issued in Spanish as well, for the benefit of any colonialist pirates?
lack reputation of british authors, and tergiversation of history facts..

Argentina believes that the British territories including Britain’s Antarctic section belong to them because it’s an extension of their continental platform, true or false?

The price is commensurate to the time and effort that goes into researching and compiling all available information which also includes any relevant material in countries outside the UK, so at a guide price of £80+ per volume I would call it a steal.

Posted 6 days ago - Link - Report abuse -6Unpreasantly salty them Pascoe books...
I notice with pleasure though..., that Dr. Graham Pascoe (doctorated in “Engrish” at the München Univeritet in Germany)..., has finally desisted of posing as a Registered Historian and instead publishes his work as what he really is..., an Engrish teacher & self proclaimed amateur historian with an agenda...
Congratulations...
Do they 'register' historians in your part of the world Trunks?
Posted 6 days ago - Link - Report abuse +4Something akin to a Register of Offenders?
I do not believe that Graham Pascoe has ever described himself as anything but an amateur historian.
No chance of you actually putting your hand in your pocket to find out what he has to say, I suppose?
The ebooks are good value, while the Library Edition can give you a hernia.
Don't play silly..., copper...
Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse -5- Serious professionals are...,as a matter of course..., duly registered in almost every single corner of this World..., by a myriad of different serious guvernamental & private institutions....
- I reckon that in Engeland..., even serious & serial “Offenders of the Truth” as Meteorologists..., are duly registered as Associated Royal Chartered Members of the Royal Meteorological Society or so... :-)))
Capisce...?

Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse 0Good news this morning...!
Seems that..., after ~13 years of constant rimming of the Yankee arsehole in the Julian Assange case..., them Engrish lapdog can now ...,finally..., give their tongue a little break...
52 ain't no age..., Mr. Assange...
Godt gået...
A lot of evidence, but will be ignored by the Malvinistas....or dismissed as “salty” by the resident alcoholic pickled Turnip.
Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse +1Just tried Google Trunks, no sign of a UK Register of Historians.
Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse +1I do note that the dictionary definition is “an expert in or student of history, especially that of a particular period, geographical region, or social phenomenon.” That would seem to cover Graham Pascoe quite nicely.
Cambridge dictionary is even more open ended - “someone who writes about or studies history.”
Seems we are all historians, Trunks. Except, possibly, yourself, who doesn't appear to have studied very much in the last decade or rwo.
Stink has not progressed beyond reading the Beano, even thats tough for him,
Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse +2I like Gauchito Drunk's verbal imagery in the above. It really illustrates the kind of behavior with other men that drove away three wives and has consigned him to hardcore alcoholism. You are what you eat, eh, Gauchito?
Posted 5 days ago - Link - Report abuse 0“SEEMS WE ARE ALL HISTORIANS”..., says the Black Country Ex-Copper above...
Posted 4 days ago - Link - Report abuse -4Well..., evidently the quality of his results is thereafter...
As are Engrish teacher Dr. Graham Pascoe’s...
As I said above...:
“Self proclaimed Engrish amateur historians with an agenda...”
(Let's hope they are smart enough to chose a registered proctologist for themselves... :-)
Capisce...?

Talking of history
Posted 4 days ago - Link - Report abuse +4“Think” has now been posting drivel of this forum for 14 YEARS!!
14 years, thousands of posts” claiming the imminent collapse of the British Falkland Islands.
The pickled turnip has never once been right!
14 YEARS of humiliating himself, and advertising his alcoholism for all to see.
Poor Think!!!
Here's to another 14 years of laughing at the cretin.
Well, Messrs Kohen & Rodríguez have their work cut out for them, trying to put together some sort of a rebuttal for that much documented history.
Posted 4 days ago - Link - Report abuse +1Not that their last offering had much actual ‘rebutting’ in it.
Nor evidence for that matter.
Probably just resort to attacking the author and therefore the work itself doesn’t count, whatever the evidence says.
However a document that describes in detail just how much British history of the S. Atlantic Argentina is trying to ignore, will not go unnoticed.
My information is that Kohen & Rodriguez refused to read Graham Pasco's last book, so it seems unlikely that they'll read the Saga.
Posted 3 days ago - Link - Report abuse +1Both prefer to live in their own little world of make-believe.
