Forgot to say the important bit - it doesn't matter to me if the whole lot stays under the South Atlantic, I'm off to the races!

Actually ralphybabes, I'm nicely in profit on this one, having bought furiously when the sp was around 18p, when the likes of you and MS told everyone the sp was bound to collapse to 12p.
So, as long as the sp goes up a bit more in anticipation of something, I get nearly £10,000 for every 1p increase, plus a bit extra on trading, just for fun as the sp meanders.
Oh yeah - and as it's all in ISAs, every penny profit is tax free.

So nothing to moan about here buddy.

Oh dear, ralphybabes, someone ruffled your delicate little feathers, or maybe just hit the bulls eye?

It's true to say that the F islanders don't want their region to be turned into another Dubai-like fair ground, but they do want to benefit from this once-in-eternity opportunity.

That's why Wancos' misleading posts should not be taken seriously, as you can be sure the islanders would prefer not to rely on tourism - they've seen what that does to other pristine areas and they don't want that either.

Now, on this one ****os, I know you're wrong - while they may not wish to be "oil barons", (whatever that means), they're certainly VERY interested in seeing at least some of the oil exploited in order to create a sovereign wealth fund, rather like Norway's, giving the islanders a much more secure future.

So, ****o, if you insist on posting Bulls Hit, make sure it's based on a tiny bit of fact, otherwise write your fantasies on a fiction site.

just got this image of Wancos - in his 70s (maybe 80s), lost a packet on RKH, can just about work a keyboard, has a vocab of about 20 words and types so slowly that repeating himself all the time is the best he can do.
There are occasional breaks in transmission, when his wife catches him "doing it" and tells him to stop, then she pops out for a fag and a pint and he tries to remember his 20 words again before she comes back!
Keep it up Wancos,

Wrong - a visit was reported by Mercopress and other supporting documentation, which seems to coincide with Hammond's visit, which makes sense.

FI's version is somewhat different, which is why you two should get together and write excellent fiction.

Thanks FI - if you really had something worthwhile to tell us, you'd be the first to show off about it.

Your silly reply confirms what others have been saying - you're a Bulls Hitter, aren't you!

Now you can buzz off with a flea in your ear!

Look FI, if you're going to be that "know it all" oik in the playground, who says he knows all sorts of things that the rest of us don't, and when we find holes in your story, all you can do is reply "Yawn!", all you're doing is making an even bigger tit of yourself.

It's actually quite important, because Philip Hammond & Boris Johnson were scheduled to visit Buenos Aires for a pre-G20 meeting with Mauricio Macri around this time. Then Boris resigned, so Hammond went on his own, but there was almost certainly Foreign Office representation:

So it's quite likely that the PMO trip was timed to enable at least some of the team to travel via Buenos Aires in order to have an HMG, PMO, FI meeting to discuss some of the more thorny issues on the region - a very convenient opportunity without making too much noise.

Trouble is, while the Mercopress article date make this a possibility, your account is less convincing,which is why I'm asking for more detail and all you can reply is: "Yawn!", which pretty much tells us all we need to know.

FI, even I realise that if you go all that way, you're likely to have more than one meeting, but the delay between Friday and Wednesday seems quite long, so it would be interesting to know what the visitors got up to during the intervening four days.
There's not a lot of entertainment in Port Stanley, so did they go penguin hunting, or maybe for a swim (after all, they probably needed to cool-off after the weather here)?

And, who was "the lady"? - useful to know in order to add some credibility to this tale and perhaps understand the main reasons for going all that way now (i.e. an oil exploration expert, or an administrative expert, or what?).

FI, could you please clarify - on Wednesday you said the PMO visit took place the previous Friday (i.e. 20/7/2018), but this article refers to a presentation to taking place on Wednesday 25/7/2018 (the same day as you made your post):

sensible replies would be more helpful

Don't all jump down my throat if I've got the timings/details wrong, but why did the recent PMO visit to the FI happen when it did?
Also, might the delegation have travelled via Buenos Aires for the long-haul bit from/back to the UK?

Wasn't Philip Hammond in Buenos Aires for a pre-G20 meeting with Mauricio Macri?

If so, then might the PMO visit have been timed so that Philip (or at least some of his civil service entourage) could arrange a meeting with the Argentine government and PMO senior representatives to go over some details that need sorting before any big announcement is made about starting oil production in the region?
Maybe a carrot is to offer technical assistance to Argentina to help develop their off-shore oil resources, before it's too late (we are told that perhaps as much as 80% of the World's oil reserves will have to stay where they are). After all, with North Sea experience, we're probably some of the best qualified to help..

While relationships with Argentina are improving daily, it really wasn't very long ago that Voluptuous Cristina was making all sorts of dire threats and remember reports in 2015 that Argentinean special forces were planning a raid on the FI to seize one of the islands?

It isn't often you get someone as senior as our Chancellor visiting Buenos Aires, with civil servants in tow, and none of this has really been reported, making me wonder why.

It's not a case of not believing you, but it's damned annoying when someone posts something that could be of interest to us all and then says: "oops, I didn't mean to post that and while I know more than you lot, I'm not going to tell you, or at least not yet".

And as for "been" a policeman or childish, I think I speak for many here who would agree: just don't start, if you don't mean to finish.

Very kind and we all look forward to hearing about it.

However, I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering why someone would sign into LSE, start typing a post, which would only be posted after the next RNS announcement, and to be posted on another board - still sounds a bit fishy.

You said your "duff post" was intended to have been posted on the ARG BB, but not until after a RKH.L RNS announcement, or did you mean PMO RNS, or even an ARG.L RNS announcement? In which case we could all have been waiting a very long time for your words of wisdom.

It reminds me of the school playground, when there was one little oik who always claimed to know something the rest of us didn't, and maybe he'd tell us tomorrow! I seem to remember that in the end, we all got fed up with him and his "secrets" and he never tried it again.

You have to admit that W*nkos has an astonishing vocabulary - astonishingly small that is, which is why his posts are so repetitive and boring.
Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to demonstrate, in public, being quite so inarticulate.

No wonder he lost so much on RKH.

Come on W*nkos, you still haven't told us what "geffi" & "geffing" are.
If they're nothing to do with Paul Getty, then maybe a new expletive?
Put us out of our misery.

Let's get this straight FI, you write a whole load of stuff about the PMO talks with the FIG (not "FID", as you posted, which is something completely different) and locals, then press the "post" button on the wrong BB.

Then you say "OOPS", meant to wait until after the next RNS (whenever that may be) and then I was going to post it on another board. Are we really supposed to believe that? Do you save pre-prepared posts somewhere, just in case they come in handy one day?

Might as well spill the beans now you've started - we're all agog here, well I expect W*nkos is - everyone else is asleep.

What's "getti" and "geffing" W*nkos?

Something to do with Paul Getty, who made his fortune from oil?
