“[Daphne – “Item: To rent. Ideal to live in it. 5 car garage in M Scala.Price monthly 175 euro(LM75).” Hawn xi hadd jithajjar jikri garaxx ha joqghod go fih? You have to laugh.]?

If you occasionally visit that part of the island, you will find that the occurance is not as unlikely as you may think. What is even more ironical is that after they convert the garage into a comfortable living space, plant their sardinella outside the garage and hang their washing right outside, in the “drive way”, they brazenly post the “NO PARKING – GARAGE” sign on the front door and even go as far as to slap on a few home-made yellow lines on the road in front of the garage. Some enterprising souls are known to turn their garages into take- aways as well.

[Daphne – You mean ‘drive-in’.]

There are a couple of very intelligent people with AN who shun the limelight but work quietly in the background.

@ Marku:

“I have friends who think that we should engage in debate with people like Malcolm. I think we should expose them for what they are: a bunch of fools”.

You can do both at a single go. By engaging them in debate, you have absolute certainty of exposing them as a bunch of fools.

Marku: “I think we should expose them for what they are: a bunch of fools.”

They’re doing a good job of that themselves. The people who take them seriously and loudly proclaim the fact, fall into the same category

… apart from the fact that it’s not a 3-piece sofa, but two chairs and a stool, all covered in made-to-measure plastic covers, of course.

NGT – If you thought that was bad, then do take a look at the “perfect 3-piece sofa” on http://www.maltapark.com/viewauctions.asp?Category=42&mode=browse (You have to click on the picture and enlarge it to appreciate the aesthetics.)

I saw one the other day on that same website, a guy was trying to sell his mobile with “blutoot”.

[Daphne – Tal-ustja.]

Moreover “Peugeot” is spelled wrong. It should read ‘Bigu’, with a g as in gurdien.

Your ‘Melkim’ spelling was done with tongue planted firmly in cheek… now this is genuine – read on…
