To us, even getting a pair of coloured socks (apart from the compulsory chocolate bars!) was a treat somebody got from abroad, seeing that in Malta we could only get socks in white, beige or grey!

True! Actually chocolate did pass through the grey matter inside my cranium. I remember as a kid looking forward to meet any aunt coming back from a trip to Catania (I guess that was as far as our pockets could afford back then). Reason? To get a glimpse of a MARS!

If and when the MLP wins an election they will create an internal issue which will bring them back down and out after 22 months or so.

Once they’ve achieved that, what’s left for them to do?

Well, if Harry DOES put himself forward as and MEP candidate, that will be further source of mirth for us, would’t it?

Everyone blames the PN for everything! Well I DO have some well-proven crimes for which ONLY the PN has been responsible in the past twenty years. Rights. Freedom of speech. Education. Peace of mind. Prosperity. Progress. Employment. Investment. EU. Or would one prefer them in alphabetical order?
