According to the UN guidelines, the name Falklands / Malvinas or Malvinas / Falklands (depending if the main text is in English or Spanish) is correct.
Well, I don't mind being called English in Argentine forums when I am actually British - but I am not sure a Scot would necessarily be so happy?

But that's a bit of a mouthful, so I tend to go for the place next to Chile, full of d1ckheads.
Really this kind of behaviour here? A bad day at the office?

Regarding the Ginger Chap, I was 3 months out (early) with my divorce bet.
I stand to win the pot however !

It was writ higher and brighter than the very Hollywood Sign.

Dig deeper in your pockets dear friends.
The Prodigal Son is on his way back to the luxurious comfort of the family fold !

Just switch off your heating 15 mins early !

If you can't see what's wrong with your previous post, I'd rather not waste time discussing it. Good luck with your life.

I, for one, don't think Marcantilan or most of his fellow Argentinians are d...heads, some of those responsible for running the country incompetently, misdirecting its economy, and inflicting the consequences certainly were/are.

I'm not sure we've hit inflation rates of 114% or implemented export controls.

Source if the above stories is the Buenos Aries Times.

Aircraft are reported to be ex-Danish Air Force jets. Other sources have the price at $700M, but without knowing about LEP, spares, manuals, weapons any quoted prices will just be wild speculation…

https://batimes.com.ar/news/argentin...ter-jets.phtml

US steps up pressure on Argentina to choose Danish F-16s over Chinese or Indian fighter jets

The Capitol is close to authorising the sale of 24 F-16 fighter jets to Argentina, aiming to become the main arms supplier since the Malvinas War.
