Lol @ photo & caption. Interesting observation and adequate picture! Shame it took me a few moments to understand, but the delay makes it funnier.

If they organise these parties in aid of Dar Tal-Providenza we will soon see Mons.Michael Azzopardi out of his grave.

Daphne I’m still young and learning about politics but I can’t understand why all this hype about this unknown guy Sandro is being made? On the other hand when the Bona guy was killed a couple of weeks ago no mention was made on this blog?

Now I’m comparing like with like, even moreso one murder was attempted, perhaps it was just a big “xebgha’” whereas the other occurred. Why are some murders reported here with all details and others not?

I apologise for my naivete but I’m still a very young person who can only compare like with like and not what is happening now with what happened in this country 30 or 40 years ago.

[Daphne - Because these are two political figures, and not two pimps or moneylenders or whatever the other two are/were.]

Well said Paul. In Malta, everyone thinks he is the Prime Minister.

I was stating facts, you stated more facts, after the riots there was a commission and it made some recomendations which were implemented, life became more bearable for the populace and some sort of self government was granted by the colonisers.
I’m not justifying piano throwing out of balconies , Revolutions, civil wars and riots are the ultimate weapons and sometimes produce the long term desired effect… repeat :SOMETIMES.

One of the media quoted him as saying he would go back tomorrow, with his brother.

Translation of the above comment for the benefit of those who don’t read Maltese.

Stupidity of biblical proportions “Fgura is the locality with the highest proportion of treatment for respiratory illness in the WORLD.”

So, let’s deconstruct this shard of idiocy.

1. Define “locality”. A small village clustered around a power station will obviously win hands down over a whole county.

2. Define “respiratory illnes”. Asthma is one thing. Silicosis is another.

3. Did you check whether people in Fgura smoke more than people in other localities.

4. Did you check whether other localities in the world also include a clinic or hospital? Because I think that Fgura beats Bhopal in the quality of available treatments.

5. And finally: Give us a citation for this wild statement. Carl Sagan says: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

I disagree, u tiekluniex please. I think they both look rather nice in that photo, well dressed, and a great looking couple if you never saw them before. Now look long and hard at the photo in that context, together with Daphne’s words to the right. And look again, and read again. And again.

A work of art.
