Falkland Islands liberated 30 years ago, today

[User removed 4]

If you see two v drunk men staggering around the station/Laine area today, ignore. Its my mate Mick and myself having our own F.I. thirty year piss up. Mick, at seventeen and three quarters, was the youngest serving Marine in the conflict. Have not seen each other for ten years. Last time managed to get thrown out of nearly everywhere. Hopefully we have grown up now. Any ex out there fancying a pint are more than welcome. Pm before 12, Otherwise will be to late.

Yeah, course you have , you'll regress about 25 years within 5 seconds of the first pint

Unbelievable.

Was partly tongue in cheek.

though, the current grief does tie in with oil exploration in the area which the argies warned would cause problems - cause I remember thinking do we really need to make matters worse in the area than they already are. So it is a matter of fact. Check out the link:

I was pretty shocked to learn that the ex footballer Phil Stant was in this conflict and on the front line.
