Il-priedka tat-tifel, fuq PBS bhalissa

Madonna, how boring he is. And that hair! All those little gelled tufts like Berlusconi’s scalp after the transplant, but without the bandanna. Why doesn’t he just take a razor to it, now that he’s on television most of the time? Oh my, and he’s wearing a plain blue tie. How subtle. Pity he’s got the ex-police inspector smirking smugly beneath his elbow in the frame. Thank God I’m writing about food at the moment and have something interesting to take my mind off the bla-bla-bla blue-collar accent nagging on in the background. A smart accent is de rigeur for Europe’s prime ministers – if they weren’t brought up with one, they make damn sure they acquire one along the way. But listening to Muscat is like listening to one of those super-naff presenters on Super One.

Did I hear right, or did he just say GonziPN? Did I hear correctly, or did he say ‘Lawrence Gonzi gabar it-taxxi’? Am I hearing things or did he just draw the line between ‘il-mittilkluss’ and ‘il-haddiema’? Jaqaw tal-mittilkluss ma jahdmux? What tedious torture. Watching paint dry? This is listening to paint dry.

    “Il-preidka tat-tifel” is usually recited from memory. But he is practically reading it. Maybe he has a photographic memory, but has not developed it! (GROAN!)

    did he just say “jien zaghzugh”?

    [Daphne – It’s very amusing the way he ranks himself with people my kids’ age.]

    Baqalu zmien ukoll. Ha tkompli tizdiedlu ir-runway li ghandu fuq rasu.

    Da zghur mhux il-priedka tal-millied imma il-calvarju

    @ Stacy Is IL-Kalvarju the translation to The 2008 Budget?

  7. David Buttigieg says:

    Maybe I’m nit picking but shouldn’t the leader of the opposition KNOW that one of the largest auditing firms in the world is ERNST and Young and NOT Ernest and Young?

    Grace – Unbelievably, I’ve heard people complaining about having to pay an increased licence for a powerboat. Surely they should know that “affording” a luxury means affording the running costs of the same.

    Quite simply, you shouldn’t try to live beyond your means or expect freebies of any sort. Buy what you can; if you can’t, then do without.
