The Fawklands is all gonna kick off again....

Imagine the hype if we end up playing Argentina in the World Cup .. not checked the groups, is it likely?

 

[supaseagull]

I love the way the Argentines like to claim sovereignty over a set of islands they only occupied for a small time in history and of which 90% of the population are people wanting to remain a self governing British colony.

 

[MJsGhost]

they ship oil from alaska or the middle east to refineries, probably elsewhere. they just need a point to hold it in between ships. the refinery is where the real valu eadd is, they wont be building any refineries in Argentina. it will all come here.

If not, Uruguay or Chile will bend over backwards to get involved and provide a site. Not just for the economic benefits, but because it'll be one in the eye for their neighbour too!

Not very likely if Maradona stays in charge - they'll be lucky to make it through the group stage.

Isn't that where this geezer lives? He didn't look overly concerned about things yesterday:

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Love that line from the Secret Diary of Adrian Mole when Adrian's dad panics when he hears the Falklands have been invaded only to go back to sleep again when he finds out they're not located off Scotland.

No chance of the Argies having the Falklands. The UN is very clear about self-determination for disputed territories and the Falklanders are as pro British as anyone.

Oh, and sorry to throw a bit of pedantry into the mix, but does the Sun not realise that in UK English it's 141 metres.

Although it would be a parking meter.

That would have to be one big meter for HMS York. And just think of all the 50ps it would need.

141 meters to feed according to the Sun. So that wouold be about £70.50 for half an hour.

 

[house your seagull]

we have a boat in the falklands all the time.

and we often chase ships and stuff around, we have to scramble norwegian fighter plans to chase of russian MIGS who follow our boats in the north sea.

pesky russians.

Cost me the same last time I parked in WC1 and I was parking the snowman plough not a f***ing destroyer.
Bet they are exempt from the congestion charge as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Whitterz]

More of these are being deployed. REAL WARSHIPS

 

[sam86]

What the fawk are you lot on about...

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Where are The Fawklands ?

 

[IKDRF]

I think we should give them the islands in return for them backing us for the 2018 world cup............

 

[NMH]

Their claim on those islands would be about as correct as France claiming Belgium is theirs.
We have other concerns Worldwide, as do many countries - so why the Argies think a new precendent ought to be made just for them, is anyone's guess.

 

[Nibble]

Let The Argies have a go at it. We have invaded many nations in history and in the last 2 decades. If they feel they have a claim to it let them crack on. If we win it stays ours, if tehy win it's theirs. Isn't that how it works?

 

[fleet]

Well last time it got Thatcher reelected from a bad position in polls!

 

[dougdeep]

Guinness Dave will sort it out, like he did last time.

"Beast ... huge HMS York is 141-meters long"

Huge?? What the hell happened to real warships? The Bismarck was 100 m longer than that...

wasnt the bismarch sunk on its 1st voyage?

 

[Northstander]

Whens the election again?

Just a thought!
