What Emy thinks about the Palace of New Thinking

Published: January 22, 2009 at 10:14am

He posted this comment beneath the Palace of New Thinking story on www.timesofmalta.com yesterday. Note his dikris. He’s a poet along the lines of his client Norman Lowell, who writes blank verse in between daubing paint on canvas while under the influence of alcohol. Is it just me, or is this small society of 400,000 people disproportionately afflicted with – how shall I put it? – unusual types?

Dr.Emmy Bezzina,LL.D.,Dip.S.Th.

And when we are all Alone
With a Bottle of Vintage Port
And some well-chosen Cheese
To Match….then we will Merrily Laugh
A satisfying Loud LAUGH
For YES we have succeeded to
Land in a CATCH!!

    Emy Bezzina – When are You Going to Learn that Capital letters have no PLACE mid-Sentence Unless the Word is A Proper NOUN?

    Oops!
    Wine and cheese. Dr. Emmy Bezzina seems to get high on his own supply. It’s called the “cheese-syndrome”:

    Don’t want to sound pedantic but… its free verse not blank verse.

    [Daphne – That’s right; no regular meter.]

    “Hahahaha, seriously, his title is Dip.S.Th ?”

    To be fair to Emy Bezzina, he had to have this diploma to be able to represent his clients in annulment cases heard before the Church tribunal. I understand that, in spite of this, the Church authorities have never allowed him to work in their court which is, in my opinion, blatant discrimination. His role as a lawyer is distinct from his personal idiosyncrasies and the Church should respect this.

    He said port, not wine. I love being pedantic.

    @H.P.Baxxter

    RE: port
    To top your pedantism: Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal’s ex-dictator (1932 -1968). He never was on Hitler’s side, but admired Mussolini. To be fair, I don’t know anything about his height.

    Most probably they do not let Emy Bezzina practise in the church tribunal for fear that he will turn that sedate place into a sort sort of Hyde Park Corner.
