Rigal sabih minghand John Attard Montalto
In The Times today:
Dr Attard Montalto was on the way to losing his seat after garnering just 12,880 first count votes – half the number of 2004. However, nobody could accuse the lawyer of not campaigning hard enough. Just last week, individually wrapped kitchen utensils with his flyer inside were being distributed during a party activity in Paola.

A new way of saying.. “Scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” ?
Damn. I needed an egg-whisk.
Heck……….I didn’t know before. It’s just what I need.
Why didn’t he come to Sliema? I am in desperate need of new kitchen utensils.
Yes I heard that from the horse’s mouth (or should I say the elf’s mouth?)…
“IIIII xi gmiel!!!! Ta Nensi wkell!!!!! Issa jkelli nghaaaqqad is-seettt killew!”
I wonder if JAM (the man not the strawberry) is getting commission out of this…
Drat, had I known! I just bought a spatula last evening to use with my new non-stick frying pan.
This brings back memories of Toronto. Daphne, do you recall I was given a kitchen utensil in a department store … the difference being that it was the utensil being promoted.
That’s almost nothing compared to what I’ve heard from a well-informed person. I am positive that at least two kazini tal-banda in the inner harbour area received a large sum of money from this man in the last week of the campaign.
I also heard that he was sending white goods such as fridge-freezers, cookers and washing machines to so called needy families in the Cottonera area.
Biex xorta baqa l`art, poverino.
That may well have been accurate reports of kitchen utensils being processed through the rumour mill.
Is-suldati tal-azzar are feeling so brave. A tin soldier named Eric is bold enough to e-mail Sky News telling Gordon Brown to emulate the Malta Labour to win by a “landslide victory”. The newscaster read it out with the text on screen. He must have been so proud to hear “Eric from Malta sent us this message…..”
Was there someone who distributed soft toys once?
[Daphne – He wasn’t elected either.]
Dear John Attard Montalto,
My water-heater guarantee runs out in 2014, so please put a note in your diary….and an egg slicer upfront, please.
I wonder if this should be reported to Anglu Farrugia?
I wonder if Edward Fenech got a wooden spoon!
Maybe he would have fared better had he distributed empty vessels.
