ORIGINAL: gazpop Huzzah, pip pip, and can I just throw in a sheer stiff-upper lipped God Save The Queen? Good. I feel more British already. In fact, I'll put the kettle on!! Or is it already time for Pimms, by jingo? I'm not the God Save the Queen and Britannia rules the wave type Gaz. I just don't think the Argentineans have any claim to the islands, and therefore no business posturing over any purported claim. I don't think the Falklanders will be singing "God Save the Queen" but rather "Don't cry over me Argentina"... quote:
ORIGINAL: matty_b No doubt he thinks the IRA are a swell bunch of guys, too. He's probably chums with Mickey Rourke. quote:
ORIGINAL: DancingClown While I mostly disagree with his sentiments some of the reactions to his 'involvement' are amusing. This is nothing new, he's been politically outspoken for years, blasting his own government in particular and we probably would've agreed with him then. Now he's targeting ours we're up in arms That's because he's wrong, not because he's had a pop at the British government. quote:
ORIGINAL: Toby Monroe I might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure I once read* that there are a fair few Argentinians who are of Welsh descent. Possibly in the Patagonian region. Isn't there a lot of sheep on the Falklands? People think this maybe all about oil, but i'm not so sure. *by read, I mean watched on telly Speaking of which, you look like you're overdue for a shearing. Assume the position butt**. *It's also got something to do with tourism revenue and lucrative fishing licenses... **"Butt" isn't a shorthand for "buttocks". It's a colloquialism, honest. Emyr crwt bach, I was just extracting a wee bit of urine as the tone of it was very jingoistic, what what? But I know what you meant. As for Mr Munroe, I refer you to this: Many Quakers from Wales emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 17th century with a promise from William Penn that they would be allowed to set up a Welsh colony there. The Welsh Tract was to have been a separate county whose local government would use the Welsh language, since many of the settlers spoke no English. The promise however was not kept and by the 1690s the land had already been partitioned into different counties, and the Tract never gained self-government. Penn? Coincidence? Hmmm. His ancestor would turn in his grave
