Don't you dare laugh at Lorna Vassallo

Published: April 24, 2008 at 1:00pm

The literal-minded Lorna Vassallo has finally woken up and discovered this website and boy, is she upset at being made fun of and called Lara Croft. It’s a good thing she doesn’t spend her holidays trawling round the ice, because then I’d have had to call her Scott of the Antarctic. That’s what happens when you put your kitchen on your website, Lorna, and set about telling us how and why you’re a vegetarian and where you went for your holidays, while campaigning for a political party. And remember that it doesn’t pay to let everyone know that you were born without a sense of humour. Perhaps we should introduce Lorna to Harry Vassallo, who doesn’t have one either. The Jacques-Rene she mentions is Jacques Zammit, another Lorna aficionado.

See you too, Lorna – we can chat about your thrilling trips with the natives in the south American jungle – but don’t wear your tight leather hot-pants and corset or the clerks will get palpitations.

Lorna Vassallo Thursday, 24 April 1110hrs

I discovered your comments lately.

We’ll soon be seeing each other in court I guess … dear Daphne.

And Jacques-Rene too.

See you

Under Lorna Vassallo goes to Venezuela.

    Hi Daphne and all

    See the attached link below. It will give you more material to chat with the good dottoressa in the long wait outside the awla :)

    It’s a gem of Lorna Vassallo’s political wisdom published in The Times 2 years ago. It predicted the rise to greatness of the Irrevocably Resigned and Gonzi being shot down in flames and hurtling towards political oblivion.

    The article was pompously titled “History in the Making”. How’s that for getting hoist on your own petard?

    I’m really interested to see how this one works out; because Mrs. Vassallo is allegedly suing you for freedom of speech here.

  3. issimpson says:

    I found her “History in the Making” article quite entertaining and put a smile on my face all along. I think she’s Nostradamus’ successor!

  4. MikeC says:

    The last sentence is especially interesting. So now we know why they lost. Bezzlithu! :)

  5. MikeC says:

    “Few of us realise that today is tomorrow’s history” – so why not learn from it – 1998, 2003, 2008……..

    Biex thedded bil-qorti tabilhaqq ma tafx tiehu cajta din Lara – skuzawni Lorna – Vassallo.

  7. Marku says:

    Lorna, you’re a fruitcake!

  8. Peter Muscat says:

    I prefer Daphne’s BLACKBOOK rather then her daily notebook! or maybe her personal diary. lol

    Of course I mean no offence but I am sure it might be worth the hustle.

  9. Mazokista says:

    Qelbitilu lill-Nostradamus. Not even one right, she ought to keep to the PAST as she says in her profile:-

    Quote : Since 2004 she has also contributed on a regular basis to “The Malta Times” as well as produced high-level theatrical performances with Malta Labour Party. Her past times are reading, singing and travelling. Unquote.

    Her words not mine.

  10. Mazokista says:

    Or stick to the ‘high-level theatrical MLP performances’.

  11. fab says:

    ‘I discovered your comments lately.’

    I’m very dissapointed from you, for not noticing this little gem of humour.

    ‘I discovered …’ are we in for some new adventures: ‘the adventures of lorna in cyper-space’ ?

  12. Phaedra Giuliani says:

    Don’t any of her ‘friends’ tell her she cannot write for toffee?
    How on earth did she come to such conclusions?
    Who cares what she thinks, anyway?

  13. Mario Debono says:

    The MLP seems to attract cranks like Maltese honey attracting Gozo flies. This Lorna of the Jungle gets me in fits when i see her website.

    Hey Lorna I is laughing @ ya

    Watchya gonna do about it eh?

  15. Andre F says:

    Isn’t it not high time that Ms. Vassallo updates her website?

    From http://www.lornavassallo.com/:

    “Passat Mera tal-Futur?

    Qeghdin naraw Gvern fallut li wasal fl-ahhar erbat ijiem tieghu.”

    Is she aware that MLP has lost….?:)

    Caw…

  16. benedict says:

    this quote from her Venezuela trip sounds like the start to a porno :

    “After quite some long hours of uncomfortable sleep and
    travel I found myself waiting for a four-wheel drive jeep and a man I didn’t know at the bus terminus. The man turned out to be a woman who came to pick me up and took me for breakfast in a shabby posada. At this stage I was still inquisitive as to how things would proceed. One thing led to another and I ended up, within an hour’s time, acting as co-pilot on a four-seater bush-plane.”

    Seriously!

    Have a look: http://www.lornavassallo.com/Maltastar%20Travel%20Art%201%20word%20ready%20for%20website.pdf

  17. Mario Debono says:

    benedict, maybe its just wishful thinking on her part……the porno thing, I mean. I’m sure she would give the real Lara Croft a run for her money

  18. Amanda Mallia says:

    Andre F – The photo on the link you posted makes her look more like Mona Lisa than Lara Croft!

  19. Tony Pace says:

    Has anyone noticed the one common quality amongst the laburisti?
    Narcisism ! I seriously think its contagious.

  20. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Tony, it’s not a common quality among Laburisti, but among intellectuals. And Lorna, just like Alfred Sant and “Ev” Bartolo, is an intellectual. Oh yes she is. And a thesp to boot.

  21. Tony Pace says:

    Hey H.P, partially right but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t call Joseph Muscat and Lara Croft intellectuals. Pseudo-intellectuals maybe, but I do not even think they can carry that off :)
    Miaow.

  22. H.P. Baxxter says:

    In my book, intellectuals and pseudo-intello-artsy-fartsy-theatrical-production-literati-May68 types are one and the same. Then, on the other side, you have switched-on blokes. I could give you quite a few examples of both types.

  23. Daphne Caruana Galizia says:

    @HP Baxxter – maybe you should hold it with the switched-on blokes. We’ve had enough excitement here with that video.
