Hang on hang on, the war was between the Order and the Ottomans agreed but many Maltese took part in the fighting, often outshining the knights in valour!

[Daphne – Hospitality is never free, Sybil, is it? What you mean is that the Maltese always want something in return for their hospitality, hence the emphasis on St Paul having rid our serpents of venom. Iddubbajna xi haga ghal dak l-ikel kollu li kiel….]

“Purcinelli nisa mgezwrin gol kutri…qedin sew!” – Directly quoted. So, I ask myself, were Maltese women to be called “purcinelli” when they used to wear the ghonnella? Apparently certain people still can’t, in 2009, accept diversity.

“Malta: Blacks and arabs revolt…… Intolerable!!!!” – Quoted. What I find to be truly intolerable is the attitude of many Maltese. They revolt, of course; but for good reasons. Maltese people, on other hand, ‘revolt’ because they are asked to pay for what they actually consume. I cannot fathom such miserable reasoning and hdura, especially since many Maltese too, in the past, fled the country as soon as they had the opportunity.
