Napprezza li fakkartni fil-qawl Malti li biex tiskongra trid tkun pur, ghax veru kulhadd jizbalja.

Ippermettili nigbidlek l-attenzjoni li bl-ingliz nghidu aktar “mother tongue” milli “mother language” … skuzani jekk kont ftit xewka!!!

Who can blame him? I envy him.

Probably the Nats know what it is and are keeping mum because it is in their interest to have Jospeh as labour leader. If not, they will surely use the info to start throwing missiles after the honeymoon week is over.

You see he was correcting JM’s English and got his Maltese wrong. I mean don’t we all make these silly mistakes sometimes.

Was JM talking in Maltese when he said that phrase? If yes, the Maltese version has to be taken into account.

Thanks for your english lesson. In Maltese we say Settembru li gej. So as you can see people make these silly mistakes even in their mother language.

I trust that in English that means September 2009, while in Maltese-English that would be September 2008!!! [Ma narrahiex issir aktar tard minn Settembru li jmiss.]

With Joseph! Joseph! as potential Prime Minister at age 39, we could see Maltese-English replace English as one of Malta’s official languages!!!!

What fun!!! [Xi pjacir!!!] … I may as well start practicing!!!

I don’t think so. One has to spend a whole term in the EP to be entitled for a pension.
