…NOT that Sliema people speak really good English mind you… half and half , worst English i ve ever heard!destroying both Maltese and English :S…hahahaha… but on the whole…i agree :)

[Daphne – What Sliema people, Michelle? Oh, do you mean the hordes of chavs who have moved into the new flats over the last two decades? Then I would agree. All the Sliema people I know speak perfect or near-perfect English.]

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia.

People who don’t have an inferiority complex – or a chip of some sort – would not feel the need to parade their “achievements” or qualifications around. The ones with the most – and possibly best – qualifications probably “keep” them quietly to themselves.

In reply to Anna. Anna, I’ve never seen Gianella Caruana Curran, but I guess it makes sense. The pose has such a philosophical touch about it; the more I look at the photo, the more I see images of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle … without those silly beards of course.

“Pigs can fly. I am convinced of it. And if they don’t, I will protest.”

In the end she must have managed. She protested and swine flu.

Well, if Marlene wants to consider herself part of the “Sliema crowd” to get their vote then she really needs to improve her English!

[Daphne – That’s what I thought. “Absolutely yes.”]

Marlene’s right on message. Here she is, telling us to vote for her because (1) she has the academic background (how Labour is that – anzi mahargitx ic-certifikati bhal sida Sant), and (2) she doesn’t have an inferiority complex. Oh, and she thinks that questions about how she voted in the referendum are “vulgar probing” because she was a “private citzen”. Actually, she was chairman of Sea Malta and paid out of public funds. And there is no privacy on the vote for people who are asking us to vote for them. We have the right to know where they stand and where they stood on every political issue.

In reply to Leonard. Leonard, I was just thinking how much she looks like Gianella Caruana Curran in this photo.

Prosit, Daphne, well said. My God, I used to think that she`s smart not like the majority of Labour candidates, but how wrong I was. I guess that once you get hooked with Labour you just start saying stupid things so that you go down to their level and that will make you feel loved by the majority of their ‘bright’ delegates.

Or is it because she`s reading for a DBA that makes her bright and us lesser mortals all stupid? Ma nafx u thawwadt – one thing is for sure though, Dr Alfred Sant, God bless his little cotton socks, (as Bocca used to say) would have never joined the EU because the Nationalists had beaten him to the idea. He wasn`t the originator of the idea, so it was not good for Malta.

In fact, he is still writing against Malta joining the EU and the Eurozone and anything that is European. What really worries me is that whenever I speak to Labour sympathisers, they are all moaning about what a big mistake we made by joining the EU and how right Sant was.

I just hope that if they`re ever elected to government, they won`t take us out of the EU. Maybe Toni is already working on a proposal for the Kunsill Generali for the delegates to decide with a show of hands. Can you or anyone put it past them?
