EXACTLY, what nobody seems to realise is that the Falklands are 97% SCOTTISH ! Oh, and 3% Helenan/ Chilean I almost forgot. Any Brit who's been there instantly knows it's jockland.

You don't live here, so this issue has nothing to do with you. You can bring new unpackaged items as well.

Forgot to mention a simple test.... if you can't eat your vacio with a dessert spoon you've been conned.

In my experience, I have had better and more tender beef in the last 9 years (of 20 odd) living here because I have a great rapore with my butcher. Butcher's know what's good and bad, the best cuts etc, and will reserve it for you. Have a few beers with them and watch the footie etc. and get...

it's usually dial in the number followed by the # symbol, then the voice reads back the number to you, which you confirm by pressing 1. This is followed by another voice telling you your credit, and when it expires.

And to think of all the bloodshed, the shame on the families, the indignity, when Britain stole those islands from Argentina.

Don't worry about suntan lotion, nor the fanciest bottle of malt whisky as you can easily get it here. What you can't get is Heinz Baked Beans, Pickled Walnuts, HP Sauce, Branston Pickle, Marmite, decent curry powder and masala powders, footware if you take UK size 9.5 or more, and if you are...

Good links and thanks for the post Perry, the fried pasta was a first for me as well. I got the impression though that the fizzy pop was more important to that family than fruit and veg, because they are hooked on it, and as you know it costs more than veg at least. I disagree that Argentina is...

Yes, rubbish collecters, firemen, postmen and sometimes policeman always knock on my door for Xmas tips and so do fraudsters. 20-30 pesos is the norn.

I would also suggest Colonia or Carmelo (less touristy and great atmospehere, ferry goes there or drive there via Gualeguaychu...another good option), although no idea if there will be restaurants open there...check the web. Unless of course you are into carol singing then I bet Howard know's...

hi, mightb be interested in furniture, kitchenware, books, any spare cans of baked beans etc. why not make a phot link of all the stuff.

Howard... your link didnt cover the sizes he was after.

UK 12 is 48, UK 10.5 might possibly be 46 but they vary a lot anyway. It is very hard to get either speaking from experience as I take UK 12, especially if your feet are wide as well. Best you can do is look up outlets selling Merrell trainers on the web and take it from there. Grimoldi at...

Great to see GOOD words about Colombia and its safety. I spent 7 months there in 1987 travelling on public transport without a hitch (almost), was back there in 90, 91 and 93 the last time. Think I'll take my family for a trip around Colombia some time soon, visiting Popayan, Medellin, Cartagena...

KURTDILLARD ///How is it that the UK has a right to colonize islands 5,000 miles away? 5000 miles away from where? And what are your origins KURTDILLARD, and which history books have you read, before I crucify you as a 1 cellular organism.

You girls have been horsening poor Mariano haven't you, but he is definately right about Cabalgata... have them right here in Parque Leloir http://lapostadeleloir.blogspot.com/2008/04/cabalgatas.html , otherwise there are enuff cabalgatas in the Sierras of Cordoba and Andes in fantastic...

>> I am going to Uruguay with 10 argentines for christmas and would like to make and take something christmasy that will last a few days in tupperware, Surely they will take all of that food off you at Uruguayan customs ! I wouldn't risk it. Mixed spice is Pimienta Jamaica en grano, I...

Duderino, Gotta cut you short there, cos you're talking a load of old cods ! I have been living here for more than 20 years and both beef (parilla, asado) and pizza are ingrained parts of the local cuisine. There is absolutely no way that the beef will be overtaken by pizza, just that fewer...

Anyone know the "law" about shooting to kill... after they have entered your property, and or after they have damaged your property while entering (breaking an entry), regardless of whatever else they attempt, as I understand it these are two very different categories. Also whats the score with...

Faaaaaa... Matt just read yours.... no I'm not a pilot at all but have flown in many light aircraft in the Falklands, Argentina, Chile, Shetlands, Orkney and Scilly for biological surveys, guiding tour groups and even twitching. Its part of my work, sometimes it scares the shit out of me...
