Give the Falklands back FFS

[daveduke67]

they used to employ a fella to pick up penguins in the Falkland isles just after the war,all these penguins would look upto the sky when the RAF would fly over and end up falling over

Not that old myth again ;-)

Penguins are more than capable of getting back on their feet should they fall over. They come out of the water on their belly and get up so I'm sure they are quite capable of rolling off their back onto their belly and getting up.

Always worth a look on here before posting urban legends.

a great urban myth - that would be the RAF flying in the Falklands FFS - so many times I had to rely on a Navy Seaking as the RAF refused to fly to Mount Adam in the snow as their helicopters weren't "all weather"......

Hope your joking. The islands are more important than any football. Yeah its a boring six months, but you are defending your country. Argentinas actions in 1982 and the fact that our bloke died taking it back ensured we will never give it back. I'm going to take your post as a joke whinge.

And you should shut the fuck up RAGHEAD !!

Aw leave him alone - he's a poor Villa fan so he's been through a lot of upset recently - just wait til they're relegated at the end of the season then he might get really silly ;-0

Now why would you say that? It's nothing more than I said in an earlier qoute... yes it is a boring six months (after the first exciting (I really meant sphincter calibrating) time liberating the bloody things), having done it 4 times since- especially in South Georgia, but what gives you the right to come up with a comment like that? I've been there and seen it, done that - have you?

I was having a go at the guy who couldn`t see the wood for the trees with the joke from previous posts.
With him only having so few posts within 12 months,I assumed he was coming on here taking the piss.
I salute all our Forces and have nothing but admiration for all of them.
So my sincere apologies to you and anyone else,either from the Forces or ex lads,in making light of a possible other Forces man,who appeared in my eyes to be a possible Rag.
No malice was intended to you my friend.
I`ll see if the other guy responds and will likewise do the same

give it back ? how can you give something back which wasn't theirs in the first place

i have relations there - the pecks who are quite famous for their efforts during the war - we were there in the 1760s, argentina wasn't even a country before 1833

spain might have had a claim at one stage, argentina never

Penguins are better than chickens under water.

True story...

Apparently the guy also had a speech impediment but made millions from creating the advertisingslogan P..pick up a Penguin.

Yes i can emagine all the ground crew falling over every time one flies over.

Who would win in a fight between 10,000 penguins and 2 polar bears?

Depends if the penguins were tooled up with knives or not.
