Her Majesty's subjects in the Falklands are more pro-British than the British living in the UK.

First stop, Venezuela to hug Chavez and then to Argentina to embrace Mrs. Marxist. Next stop... Moscow, to dig up Stalin for a french kiss.

That’s for sure... everyone I met there (was there 2 years ago) was very much in the “we’re British” camp.
They are one step ahead of things though, since they still have all their land mines in the fields from the last war.

I understand the people of the Falkland Islands being pro-UK but what I don’t understand is, these islands are off the coast of Argentina. It took British warships three weeks to sail there during the Falklands war. It looks like they should belong to Argentina. What if the Channel Islands off the coast of California were claimed by Australia? Just saying, just wondering.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

It would seem the Argentinians should concentrate on more important things than these rocks in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. If a referendum were held on who the local residents would give their allegiance to, Britain would win hands down. Has somebody discovered oil or gold there in the last 30 years?

I’d just tell the Argies that Maradona’s “Hand of God” is proper payment for the Falklands.

What a wonderful scene this excerpt conjured up for me! God bless these islanders.

The Falklanders have history, patriotism, and personal preference on their side, but Argentina has a bigtime Hollywood actor on theirs. Who are we to question the dictates of a bigtime Hollywood actor?
