Thumbs up for all the wonderful character sketches, if nothing else. Every passing minute, Malta’s looking more and more like a Disneyland parade of comic-strip characters: Boob-Job Jason, Chicken-Run Alf, The Lion King of Change, Cry-Baby Jeff, The Smary Creep tal-Bidla. And the worst villain of them all – Savonarola (He of the Hooked Nose and Permanent Grimace). Grrrrrr!!!!

Smart Malta? More like Disneyland in the Mediterranean if you ask me.

Marku – if Labour win, he’ll worm his way in as parliamentary secretary for the elderly, so that he can go to work on even more old ladies than he does today.

Dear Daphne, I can confirm to you that Silvio Parnis is a piece of work. Many years ago when he was a Health Assistant, I was then working as a clerk in the Department of Health. He called me one time over a mistake I had made in his overtime payment. In the course of the conversation, he let me know (not too subtly) that he would hate to have to call “Miss Moran” should I not be able to take care of this right away. This was late 1996 or early 1997 – a few months before the 1997 general election. “Miss Moran” was the sister of then-minister Vincent Moran.

If the press release just issued by the Police Commissioner is as has been reported, and Dr. Vassallo never gave the whole version of the story he should RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.

Please tell me that this is just a “montatura”!!! Unfortunately my son is a part of the “hamalli” and “marmalja” clan and does not attend the Tarxien Primary School. How desperate can one get!!

Victor Laiviera must already be celebrating, and I don’t blame you vic, coz the MLP have turned out to be really really lucky with this Harry thing.

[Moderator – Victor will not be celebrating this Sunday because he has asked me out on a date. Haven’t you Vic, my little bundle of fun?]

‘U din ghalik sinjura…Int taf li jien qatt ma tlabtek xejn, izda haqqni nitolbok il-vot ghal nhar is-Sibt. Ahseb fija.’

I HATE THAT AHSEB FIJA. What the hell!

This is the only sentence I believe that it was really said.
