Moderator,
You deserved the break. I’ts been a pleasure following the various comments posted. well, did i say pleasure ? perhaps “amusing” is more apt :):)
BTW we can all sleep well tonight. The news is out. Joseph Cuschieri could be on the way to being elected on the 10th district.
As might be Rita Law ! !
But, and a big but it is, A.S. remains lurking in the background. Will he never learn?

Kev, Bonici is definitely a tal-pepe surname – no need to be ashamed.

As for the dog, if you don’t want it to consider you as its master, get someone else to feed it. To dogs, the boss is the person who feeds them – hence, despite the presence of four men in our house, I am the Master of the Hounds and everyone else is there to have his orders ignored.

@ Europarl

A freely-accessible judgment delivered by Magistrate Consuelo-Pilar Scerri Herrera makes for some interesting reading indeed… Also, I see that you and Harry have a lot in common when it comes to paying bills!

Surely, these past experiences have helped forge your elitist nature. Alas, I have yet to experiences such true tests of character, and hence I am doomed to living in the “mushroom”.

Btw – Jack is a wonderful name, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

Daph,to your question to europarl
‘What kind of dog do you own?’

He owns an Afghan in a field…

Afghans are very tal-pepe’ doggies.

Vanni: Please don’t scare him away – not until Victor Laiviera comes back, at least.

Europarl – as the ‘mind’ behind Maltafly.com, you are unusually sensitive to the feelings of those who are mocked, I must say.

@ Corinne
The rarified air in Lilyland (or whatever he called that most dreary of places) seems to have effected that most priceless of assets, without which no politician or bureaucrat can survive. I am rattling on about the ability to laugh at one self, to take all things with a pinch of salt.

Bonici is NOT a tal-pepe surname (mela kollox tal-pepe, int? :))

If you mean that we’re the black sheep of the pro-PN Ellul-Bonici family, yes, maybe. Although my grandfather was for Strickland (Sir Gerald’s mum was Louisa Bonici) and only a very few of this Ellul-Bonici family have voted Labour this time.

The dog has no breed. One of eight puppies my wife felt sorry for. I, btw, am the dog’s enemy because I was “adamant” we should have no dog. Sadly, the dog treats me as his master, for obvious reasons.

Europarl – “If you were hurt when you felt I spoke condescendingly towards you …”

Hurt? Hurt? Surely you aren’t serious? When you speak condescendingly, it just proves my point further that no matter how high you THINK you have reached (ghax qed jghix barra, kemm lahaqlek, prosit!), you still feel that it’s not good enough in your own little world. Do you know what, Europarl? Some things simply cannot be bought. Breeding is one of them.
