    Nope, he's just confused. HAB will be along shortly to test the water*


    *by water I mean his firm round peachy buttocks - let's see if he's still confused after that little introduction to "Hide the sausage"...

      There are about 3000 Falklanders. surely it would be cheaper to buy them off for a couple of million quid each, It would cost Argentina a lot less than the Falklands war did and the returns would make that look like small change!

      Oh I Forgot, they're broke and can't even afford to fuel their fleets of ships and aircraft
      Confusion is a natural state of being

        Why not offer to issue free Work Visas for the Falklands to the Argies so they can live and work there.

        See how many are snapped up.

        About four I reckon.

        If the Argies ever got the Islands I bet few Argies will want to move there of their own free will.

          There area a few there now, but if you think none would move there in an instant, I think you'd be wrong. With all that oil about, the benefits for the islanders now are very good, and are likely to improve.

            The idea was mooted in the Sunday Times, who also made thepoint that Chile might Gazump the Argentinians

              Wait till the oil runs out and that becomes more a pragmatic position
