In reply to Andrea Sammut. Isn't it ironic when you think he's the same guy of Maltafly? Former inspector of police Kevin Ellul Bonici's Photoshop skills regarding the Lilliputian poodle surely can't be forgotten.

Interesting how Mr Ellul Bonici calls his wife’s boss “former poodle”. Is that how he addressed Muscat at his wife’s campaign launch? This is the stuff of tabloid headlines.

[Daphne – Of course they do. That’s what their offices are for: meetings.]

Not only meetings, Daph – Mela insejt meta’ Jowey ippoza b’harqa tal-Pampers f’idejh f’xi ufficcju (probabilment f’dak tal-“glasshouse”) ghal ritratt ta’ xi gazzetta ftit xhur ilu (biex juri kemm hu “hands-on father”)?

@ david farrugia – “I’ve seen Sharon Ellul Bonici’s EP campaign adverts in a newspaper. Among several photos there is one with Dr Gonzi and one with with Dr Muscat. The one with the prime minister is larger and more prominent than the one with Dr Muscat, which is relegated at the far bottom.”

Life is usually less complicated than that, David. The picture with The Gonz is rectangular, while the one with the former poodle is squarish. The graphic designer fitted them nicely. Moreover, “far bottom” means more recent. So there, a serious answer to a zestful question.

Since Vincent Farrugia has aligned himself to the PN does he share that party’s ideals? If one has to assess him on his recent performances – he doesn’t.

There she goes again with the “parrokkjalizmu” arguments. Very convincing, Daph! Sometimes you try to be naive: which party leader in his right senses would ask a prospective candidate formally to the party offices? [Daphne – Of course they do. That’s what their offices are for: meetings.]
Gonzi for example “asked” Vince: “int imissek tohrog maghna” after some formal meeting, not in the PN HQ. Simon’s non-candidacy for PN general secretary was discussed at Gonzi’s home. [Daphne – Because they’re close. If they weren’t close, it would have been his office. Inviting people to your home for a discussion is a sign of intimacy and trust. It’s several steps up from inviting them to your office – surely you see that.] And you still prefer to believe a “jackass’s version”? [Daphne – Yes, I do. Even liars and jackasses tell the truth sometimes. The important thing is to know when they’re doing it.]

Vince Farrugia is credible and does not beat around the bush. [Daphne – I can’t agree with you. Somebody who went out of his way to sabotage this country’s chances for EU membership in 1996, who nearly left my sons without an EU passport – to take it to a personal level – will never have my respect, not even if he gets down and grovels an apology, which he has never done. The Nationalist Party may have found it politically expedient to bring him on board for the Calvary leading to the referendum, and I agree completely with that move because needs must when the devil drives. But that doesn’t mean that he has credibility or deserves respect. Let those who voted for Sant in 1996, as he encouraged them to do, vote for him now. Jitla sparat.] And both political parties saw his potential because of his popularity. [Daphne – Yes, the sort of popularity he used in 1996: spare me.]
I believe he made mistakes in his public life as a GRTU head but he surely defended them with good arguments and a lot of energy. [Daphne – Ar’hemm hej. Something tells me that this Vince is more popular with men than with women. I wonder why. Maybe because women – as all married men know – have elephantine memories and the ability to recall past wrongs in catalogued detail?]

Mario Debono – “...maybe when the Labour Party denies it thrice the cock will crow. And they will know that they have sinned. There were witnesses to both conversations, witnesses who offered to put this record straight and witnesses who even you know and are familiar with.”

Let the sinners thrice repent, and give the cock a break deserved. For Allah is thy witness and theirs! Let the Vincent begin!

[Daphne – Not to be crass, but with all these crowing cocks, surely you’re given next year’s Nadur revellers some jolly good ideas?]

I love it! I simply love it! If you click on http://www.vincefarrugia.eu expecting to see what Vince Farrugia promises to deliver, you are faced with a “work in progress sign”. Maybe his ideas have yet to hatch from beneath his thatch.

Mario Debono – “As for his cards, don’t blame him for the design. Blame me.”

So can we also safely assume that the overnight change of toupee was also your doing, seeing that it happened shortly after this comment to you?

“Amanda Mallia Monday, 2 March 1952hrs
Mario Debono – “And please, do not go on about toupees”
(I’m butting in, whether you like it or not.) The least he could do, once bothering to wear one, is to have it “age” with him, rather than wearing one that colour, which he probably thinks is youthful, while there are white bits sticking out beneath.”

Il-“brillantine” fuq il-parokka suggeriment tieghek ukoll, Fijsu?

[Daphne – Except that it didn’t age, Mand, but became more youthful. As if men in their 60s have naturally dark hair….and he dyed the white tufts beneath, too.]
