its because of 24yrs ago We all should know where they are.. and ppl round my age/ ie: Sophie/Kelly should know.
queen chav Bianca being only 18yr old... you'd understand hernot knowing. mind you.. would her step dad Gazza or her Mum know either?

Well if you think that's bad - my brother's wife was looking at a map with a confused look on her face trying to find 'Asylum' because she kept hearing about it on the news and didn't know where it was, only that it was popular

Ah the Falkland Islands! lovely place spent 4.5 interesting months there in 1991.

Had to dress in clothes with green and brown splodges on them though. we also got ferried around in green helicopters and the occasional red and white one, but mainly used the black leather things on our feet

At what price though - talk about HIGH maintainence!!

Thankfully I'm too ugly to ever meet a woman who is percieved as being "that fit"......

She annoys the **** out of me.

plus my (blind) wife and kids wouldn't be too chuffed with my new love interest!!!

Anderton. Looks wise I think she's great but she's a fukking loon of the highest order. If she's like that now sober god knows what she was like when drunk and high!

also thought the playboy one was great.

Easy life if your a copper in the Falklands..I was at one stage seriously thinking of moving there until I researched the place in more detail, think I'll stay well away.

The correct answer is that the Falkland Islands don't actually exist. Their proper name is the Malvinas. What a great user name that would make

At 1854hrs on Monday, 03 July 2006 the Royal Falkland Islands Police received a report that there was a loose dog at the Canache. Dog Owners are reminded that they must keep their animals under control in accordance with the Hydatid Ordinance.
Agreed

Their proper name is the Malvinas
Tell that to a Falkland Islander and he'll cut your throat.
