Sybil, how can a medical condition be the result of hair-loss? If anything, it would be the other way round. But what difference does it make if a man goes bald naturally or because of a medical condition? Bald men are normal and acceptable; wig-wearing men are not. Bald women are not normal, which is why it is more than acceptable but essential for bald women to wear wigs. If a man can’t face the world with his bald head intact, then he has what the Americans call issues.

@Albert Farrugia – David Casa doesn’t lead a political party and nor is he trying to become prime minister. And yes, I don’t think men should wear wigs.

One cannot discard the possibility though that at times, wearing a wig may be an essential element in the long-term management of certain medical conditions resulting directly from the absence of hair on the head.

@SB: no, but the Bondiplus team sent to film the spontaneous mass rally at Labour HQ were greeted by delegati welcoming them loudly into their ‘home’, taking the hint from Joseph! Joseph! like a bunch of headless chickens.

Ok Daphne, you’re not afraid of him. But why are you saying that he’ll make a mess?

@Daphne

Ah so Mark Vella is THAT Mark Vella! Should have guessed who he was from that crass remark in Maltese… thanks for the info BTW.. hsibt li Moaning Mona ghadha qed titqanna bih!

And sorry, but I’m unimpressed by today’s blog entries; I thought that you would start expounding on JM’s known vision for the future of MLP… what? you don’t know what it is?? ;-)

@DF – he doesn’t care what I think because he knows I’m not going to vote for him. He’s intelligent enough to know that it’s only worth bothering about the ones with whom you’ve got a chance. If he came round soft-soaping me, I’d just treat him like those people who occasionally try to sell me a religion. Alfred Sant didn’t care what I thought or wrote either, for the same reason. His bad luck was that lots of people agreed with me. Somebody has to say it: Joseph Muscat is a walking cheese festival. I can’t wait for the day when he tells me, as he has already told a broadcaster friend who was reviled by Labour until now, that I am welcome in his ‘dar’ – to which my reply will be, ‘That may be so, but you’re not welcome in mine.’ I have the memory of an elephant, and to me he’s still the atrocious Charlon-Gouder-style prat reporter from Super One. It was only three years ago, for heaven’s sake. I think all those of you who’ve forgotten this are suffering from collective amnesia.
