DONT TOUCH THE WATCH

Re: Biased news reporting : Sun Dec 30, 2012 3:21 pm  
Some very good points have been made, and from personal experiance i can say at the moment oil exploration is happening. when i landed there in march this year. when you talk to locals total 200 in stanley. helicopters taking oil workers to the new remote positioned oil platforms, theres something there, in what quantity and difficulty for extraction is not my guess, but i think the place has great economic value to it. even with some of the worlds most expensive fishing rights on offer there. but trust me you would not want to live there. i lie about the 200 its more but it feels much less. But the islanders themselves are madly patriotic about britain. on the flip the junta in argentina at the time went to war to boost there polls and dismal economy. much like kirchner and the sabre rattling now that she is buying up oil companys.

When my brother in law was there with the RAF he said that the most interesting thing about the Falklands were the penguins, they were also the easiest to speak to - mind, he was an MP in the RAF...

DONT TOUCH THE WATCH

Re: Biased news reporting : Sun Dec 30, 2012 4:49 pm  
very true. its basicaslly the full cast from a league of gentlemen. when i was in the globe the only decent pub in that tin roof metropolis all the weopons on the wall that i instantly knew where british SLRs and rockets, where actually argentinian, we sold to them before the war, brought a tear to my eye at British pride. the penquins are fantastic here, but not the same as the Brunt ice shelf. Saw prince William as well in his sea king. sounds all exciting, but its a living nightmare if you dont like cans of beer only in a pub and women with more hair than a alpaca!

As much rational to go to war as any judging by past events in the world
