One of the guys I work with is going for a job with Boeing. He is familiar with the computer system they operate (called Gold), and it's a wage twice what we are currently on, but it's also a regular-hours office job with much less time off. I can't blame him for wanting to move on, although I suspect in a year's time he'll be bored again and wanting to move on. Damned if I'll do that myself. I like my time off too much. I did point out to him he'd be working beside 2 ex-RAF people who he previously hated, including one whose cycle we tracked closer than she did just because of her mood swings.

So Argentina must be having a hard time economically, or their president is low in the opinion polls. Every time that happens, they try the distraction technique of bringing up the Falkland Islands. I guess with them about to start extracting the oil from the waters around there, it becomes a higher priority. I have no idea where the Argentinian military stands, training-wise, compared to its 80's version, but I do know they lack the equipment required to launch a full-blown seaborne invasion force and that the aircraft that are stationed down there are more than capable of downing anything the Argentinian air force could pit against them so an actual invasion is unlikely. Not impossible, but very, very unlikely. It is interesting that a legal recourse to settle the ownership of the islands is available, but that neither country has ever decided to take things down that route. I suspect because neither nation is 100% convinced their case would succeed.

Be a damn shame if more people were to die to settle the issue, but I guess that is outside of my control. Trump threatening to change the US's position on the issue doesn't really change anything or put pressure on the UK. Even if it did there is a serious chance he is shortly to become irrelevant, and even if not he has what 2 years left? Nothing would be settled in that time frame anyway. I have never met a people who hate another people as much as those islanders hate the Argentinians. Under the UN stuff on people's rights, they are very unlikely to want to be part of that nation be that for the better, or worse.

Had several phone calls, emails and a meeting with a social worker. The result is lots of sympathy, lots of advvice, but no concrete help offered. Some of the advice is useful though. Decided on having the chat I've been dreading with Ash on Sunday. He has a birthday party to go to tomorrow and I want to let him enjoy the day.
