Joey and the old bats
I loved the Super One show last night: they put Joey in the studio with Louis Grech and John Attard Montaldo and got them – poor things, really, because they’re worth more than that – to eulogise him. Then they showed a ‘docu-drama’: they took the Super One camera to ‘Brussel’ and vox-popped some of his fellow socialist MEPs. I was struck by the fact that – natch – they were all deeply unattractive women who clearly doted on him for reasons other than his political astuteness and Large Brain. You know the sort: the ones who think a hairbrush is a lethal weapon, colour is a crime, and make-up, clothes and jewellery are a serious offence against Calvinism. No man ever gives them a second glance or pays them a bit of attention, and so when somebody does….well. I always said that our Joey’s distinctive communication style is flirtation – albeit a curiously sexless sort – and so he gets his way with odd-looking women and with men who are so taken aback to be the target of another man’s charm offensive that they don’t know how to react.
Two of these old bats were actually simpering. I know it sounds terribly rude, but really, it’s the only way to describe them. When you live in a city packed tight with shops, there really is no excuse for going around looking even worse than nature intended. It’s enough we have to put up with the sight of men who do that. And the only comment from one of them – my God, how embarrassing – was not about the contribution he made to the socialists group, but about how she is going to miss him because she used to swap baby photos with him via their mobile phones. Can you imagine? Here’s the latest pic of Soleil and Etoile; he presses send during a boring parliamentary session and she perks up and sends one back. The only man MEP they interviewed, a French person, glared at the camera and said curtly and dismissively: Goodbye and good luck. In other ways, I barely know who the hell you are and what is your television camera doing stuck in my face? Oh, you’re that prat from Malta: I will never see you again and it doesn’t bother me at all.
I have taken to watching Super One again. It’s wonderful. No wonder it has so many viewers.

Daphne, i know that’s part of your job to watch Super 1, but you must feel sadistic watching it for all these hours. There’s a limit to the amount of trash / eulogies / pompous acts one can follow.
Can you imagine this guy becoming PM? All this B***S*** will be shovelled down our throat every day.
[Daphne – I think you must mean masochistic. No, it’s actually quite fun. The other day they had this country and western thing on. A lot of really chunky chicks dressed up as kajbows, in kajbow hetz and ginns and qomos iccangjati, dancing in formation. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. And back. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. All in the very Wild West environment of the pool-deck in a 5-star hotel. It was fabulous.]
At least they had jeans on. Last time i had the fortune to come across the programme, same chubby girls were wearing jeans shorts and dancing on some kind of promenade in Birzebugia. Very Wild West. They even threw in a horse and serkin as a nice touch to add authenticity to the wild west setting. As regards acres of rather chubby unappealing thighs, well, i will just say…..yeukkk!!!!
It was ‘orrible…..i couldnt tear my eyes off it, in some morbid fascination. That people persisnt in actually spending time dressing like that and showing their amazing lack of talent and even more amazing crass stupidity to their fellow man astounds me. I truly weep.
As for the Old Bats, well, what do u expect? They must have taken to Joey’s simpering attention like flies to honey.Being bereft of human attention fo such a long time, alone in their soulless Brussels apartment, and then getting it all from Jowey, I can almost imagine the state of their ******** whenever they meet Jowey ……oh well, never mind, ghax ha naqa fil-bassezzi dalghodu
It’s good news that Joseph actually said on Super One that he will be supporting the govt on all the proposals that he considers to be good for the country. But he also said that the PN should not expect any ‘pjaciri’ when he thought others were not. What he really means is that his party finally understood that the country is fed up with them opposing just for the sake of opposing and that the ‘pjaciri’ would in fact be beneficial and vote catching for the party.
What a conclusion Daph!! – “I have taken to watching Super One again. It’s wonderful. No wonder it has so many viewers.”
I just can’t help it but smile whenever I remember such witty comments. I know you don’t write these things to make people laugh as such, but your sarcastic comments are hilarious while meaningful! thanks
“You know the sort: the ones who think a hairbrush is a lethal weapon, colour is a crime, and make-up, clothes and jewellery are a serious offence against Calvinism.”
Hey Daph, weren’t you a cheerleader for Protestantism a few days back? Oh well, at least us Roman Catholic Papists have a sense of style, you know, D&G, Gucci, Versace. Those Protestants should be ashamed of themselves.
Obviously,MEP’s should be judged on the cut of their clothes and their makeup, not the quality of the policies that they come out with.
[Daphne – No, I’m a cheerleader for Protestant restraint and hard work – the theory of it, at least, because there’s little of it about in fact nowadays. But I also happen to think that poor grooming should be made a criminal offence, in men as well as women. If people are going to be forced to look at you, make sure you’re worth looking at.]
How many international mep’s did comment so positively about mr simon and mr david casa dear deaphne?? hehehehe
[Daphne – Why would they be asked to do so? It’s not as though Joseph Muscat’s lady friends volunteered their comments. They had a Super One camera stuck in their face – pathetic: “Ghidlna xi haga sabiha dwar Joseph, hi.” And all to impress the peasants back home.]
