Gus has always thrown his teddy out when the Falkland Islands was mentioned. When he was the “Governor of the Falkland Islands”, despite me asking him to visit, he never came over once. He ignored requests on Twatter and FB to come visit and see for himself how “Argentine” we all are. He's just a big kid! What happens in Sao Paolo has nothing to do with him!

Governor Melella of the mythical Argentine islands may indeed cause difficulty to the trade fair, but hopefully sanity will prevail.

Meanwhile Madame and I are departing Santiago next week for a nonstop Qantas to Australia.

The South polar flight is estimated to take only 14.5 hours!

¡Saludos de La Dehesa!

Not even a big kid - just a bad tempered untrained baby who cries and fills his nappy at any mention of the Falkland Islands -

He needs to pack up his bags and leave. That area is Chilean.

Gustavo Melella doesn't look indigenous and his name isn't either.
Send him home to Europe.
