A comment about the mathematics PL advert.

Whoever has done it has no idea of mathematical symbols at all. They included the = sign at the bottom. They should be told that the = symbol is not to be included when the bar at the top and the bottom of the result is used since the equals is implied.

A comment about the red ‘direzzjoni success’ PL advert in front of the Mount Carmel hospital.

The sign looks like another traffic sign which, when placed at the mentioned spot, it points towards the entrance of the hospital. It looks like a joke in very bad taste, with all due respect to the patients.

The ugly girl example, not very good I’m afraid. Knowing Maltese men he would oblige and shag her.

[Daphne – You don’t know much about women if you imagine that it’s only ugly girls who do that. It’s usually NOT the ugly girls, though I will admit that it’s those with some kind of problem, which is generally a feeling resentment towards anyone in a partnership and a deep-seated need to be destructive.]

Daph… mhux biex immerik… it’s more like a traction control off warning sign on a VW-Group car and they put it in an Australian sign-shape.

[Daphne – I got this one off the internet, and Labour’s designer probably did the same.]
