    Well done Argentina

    BBC News - Argentina's 'Falklands Olympics' advert sparks row

    No medals whatsoever.



    And we've got your oil.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

    hey they need political popularity, a quick war normally works.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Sounds a bit like that old b&w movie "The Mouse That Roared".... a poor country deliberately starts a war with a superior military power so as to be invaded and given free financial "aid" from international bodies.

      If this was Falklands round 2, they would lose badly and they know it. Send in the air craft carriers !

        At least they are guaranteed a Silver medal in a war.

          I think we should hit them where it hurts and stop buying their produce.

          What do they produce?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Beef, wine and a lot of exceptionally attractive women.

                Sounds like a plan; you'd better send an e-mail to George Osborne offering advice.

                    I wouldn't call it a poor country:
                    World Debt Clocks

                    Compare Argentina's with UK debt. At least they've got real money. But yes, they've got the poor man's mindset.
                    <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!
