Chav seems to be a favourite ‘word’ of yours and you speak of the chav in you. This is how urban dictionary.com defines it:

Chav – Sub species of human

Commonly thought to be of inferior intellect, the Chavette surprises us with its cunning plan to avoid taking up a professional career and provide itself with free accommodation supplied by tax payers by spawning multi coloured mini chavs at a early stage in life, usually mid teens.
Clearly recognisable by their distinctive tribal Burberry they congregate in town centres and on street corners. Chavs have a reputation of being creative with public property and motor vehicles, building themselves Chaviots out of mechano sets and strip lighting, and providing us with humorous banter written on toilet walls like ‘Shit’ and ‘Tasha woz ere’ in an attempt to relieve our boredom while urinating.
Their language is a basic form of English thus avoiding any words they cannot spell or pronounce, even to the extent of creating new words only they know the meaning of.
Hunting in large groups Chavs will single out the weakest, smallest prey and attack it without mercy avoiding any personal injury and insuring victory.
Chavs unfortunately don’t yet fall into the category of rodent and in effect cannot be bludgeoned to death under the guise of pest control. Darn!-
I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you Chavs for the great contribution you’ve made to this country, you’ve made it what it what it is today – a shit hole.

I would expect him to drive a new hybrid car for the same price or else KMB’s VW Beetle.

For a non-personalised set of plates you still have to pay Lm20 so actually you are only paying Lm10 extra to get them personalised with three letters and three numbers.

Actually I do understand the Lm500 ones that spell out the name of a company or product. It is pure marketing.

What I don’t understand is people paying Lm30 or Lm500 (the amount does not matter really – one is just giving money to the government for nothing) for having one’s initials or some other inane symbol. (e.g. JOE 069).

[Daphne – That’s what I’ve got, though not the 69. It’s the chav in me.]

I think it says something about the psychology of the person who is ready to pay to have what is nothing more than a modern day version of graffiti on one’s own car.

You and the leader of the opposition must share some common psychological trait. I find it odd that people go (as you put it) “I might as well” and donate money to the licensing department.

[Daphne – Lm30?]

[Daphne – I have one. It cost Lm30 and I thought I might as well. In fact, when I eventually sell my car – something I am loath to do because it seems so ridiculous to separate my waste carefully and then ditch a whole car – I will keep the plate. The ones I can’t understand are the Lm500 ones: IXL, Chantelle, that sort of thing.]

ps any tips ghal dawk inqas ixxurtjati minnek? naqa stretching ? A letter to the producers of Arani Issa on the lines of “dejjem xtaqt inkun twil” and breaking down when I talk about the bullying at school u the impossibility of finding a three-quarter coat “ghax dejjem jasal sal-gharkbua.” U l-flus li nfaqt l-alterations ommi ma ….

I’ve found out on another one of your posts that he does have a personalised number plate and it is EMS 221. The letters stand for the names of the three women in his life – two daughters + wife.

In any case every time he drives somewhere, a percentage of people who see him will think “there goes another tosser”, and it will not be because they wished they had personalised plates; it’s because that’s the last thing in the world they would want.

And some of them will be more successful and wealthy than him.

But my point is what car do you expect him and his wife to drive? Some shitty small car with a 1 litre engine? There aren’t too many decent cars that cost less than 25k (new and from Malta).

[Daphne – People should drive what they can afford to run. Muscat would have been able to afford the running of those cars as an MEP – though why he should need a car in Malta when he was in Brussels is beyond me, though not my business. He cannot afford to run them on his salary as leader of the opposition. What car do I expect him to drive? The one provided to the leader of the opposition by the state.]

I get more pissed off when I see Gonzi being driven around in that massive and ridiculously expensive BMW with a monstrous engine (with nobody else in the car), especially when the common folk is forced to buy small and ugly pieces of crap with low co2 emissions.

[Daphne – He’s the prime minister. I agree that it’s time to make a statement by getting a small, stylish car – though not to ward off the lanzit of people like you, but to make an environmental statement.]
