Edward Demicoli, son of well known ‘gakketta blu’ and Kordin Grain terminal fame Charles Demicoli. Talk about connections. Isn’t that a gravy train for all you blue eyed Nats?

(Daphne – You don’t need connections to become a candidate, Gerald. It’s not like either party has had a flood of applications.)

Wow, I got a Facebook friend request from….none other than the most charming Charlon Gouder. I don’t think I ever had the privilege of knowing or even corresponding with this guy in real life (physical/virtual), so I suppose this is just a ‘marketing move’ given the MEP rumours. Well, I resent ‘intrusive’ self-marketing. Adding someone on Facebook is like letting them in on your lives (although some people don’t seem to realise it).
Well-known people have the option of creating a ‘Page’ and be listed as a musician, artist, politician, columnist (hint) or whatever. People can then become their fans and subscribe to their page. Otherwise, I find the ‘pretence’ having the Maltese Prime Minister or the Leader of the Opposition (or a notorious journalist (?) in this case) as ‘my friend’ too superficial – unless I really know them somehow of course. I seriously doubt that these people would ever care to see photos of myself having fun with my real friends or enjoying some trip. Not that I would want them anyways.

[Daphne – I know how to get rid of a political stalker like him: just upload the notorious electoral campaign video in which he starred and ask your Facebook ‘friends’ to take a look at it. You won’t see him for dust.]

If Ellul Bonici bought herself a BMW X3, then she really must be a bloody putz. The X3 is a pointless and ugly piece of crap. Its build quality reminds me of 1990s Alfa-Romeos. It was made for BMW badge snobs who can’t afford an X5. Anyway, real money buys a Range Rover.

@ Neville Gafa’
With Labour’s track record you have nothing to be proud of. Some people are unbelievable.

Neville Gafa’: “The more i read these rude comments the more i feel proud that i’m Labour.”

What exactly are you proud of? The mind boggles.

[Daphne – His bollocks, perhaps? There’s a discussion about the nature of oxen – they haven’t got any, apparently – going on elsewhere.]

Three cheers for Mr. Gafa. He’s proud that he’s labour.
He should be prouder that he knows what people mean even ‘deep down’. Amazing! Amanda beware we have a mindreader. Good for the party circus we currently have!

Neville Gafa’, you had no need to tell us you were “Labour”. Your sanctimonious, humourless pedantry echoes that of your Deputy Leader for Party Affairs wonderfully.

Dear Amanda thanks for explaining to me the meaning of Ox.
I got nothing against your sense of humour but deep down you know that you meant another meaning.
The more i read these rude comments the more i feel proud that i’m Labour.
Thanks.
