Thanks Mudlogger

If the Brits are going to start recovering oil from there, I think we'd better re-christen the, er, Malvinas Basin (in the interests of diplomacy).

Ha!

I wonder if, 25 years after the Falklands War, we could re-take it after another invasion....

If oil was found on the Falklands in sufficient amounts to go for serious extraction , I think we would need Argentinian help for support anyway. Unless we build support systems etc on the Island.
