Daphne, I think you’re wrong on “almost half the people of this country voted for the return of KMB as prime minister – in 1992”. As far as I can remember that was a resounding PN victory, leading to KMB’s final exit as leader of the opposition and replacement by Alfred Sant.

[Daphne – Wasn’t it something like 45% of the electorate who voted for his return?]

‘Plein air’ means plain air in French. Just thought you would like to know. That is not bad English, just a French saying – albeit written incorrectly. The correct way of saying that phrase is ‘en plein air’

[Daphne – I think all those of us over the age of 30 who went to school in Malta are aware of that, amrio. French was a compulsory part of the curriculum, remember?]

Leo, I am not quite sure if Malta likes me, workwise. I used to work in a film production company on the rock and I threw in the towel, when a client came up with a ‘dancing beans cartoon’ proposal, when we were discussing a commercial for baked beans.We were poles apart.

Also I am not an ardent fan of Germany’s placid landscape, I am afraid. All that German ‘Gemütlichkeit’ drives me crazy.
In my grandmother’s house hung a Tito picture. And now deduce where I would rather spend my holidays.

Frank, pseudonym or not, fools remain fools. I might be a fool myself for all I know, but thankfully I’m not as foolish as the people who gobble Astrid’s senseless, sophist, pathetic arguments, or her campaign based on false facts and fantasy. To the contrary, what I wrote is based on undisputed scientific evidence.

As to my braveness, if it entails being somewhat like Astrid, I’d rather be a coward. After all, if Astrid and Co. think that what I said is in any way slanderous, they could go back to the public and ask to raise further funds, in order to take action against me.

You never know, if she’s lucky, it might be a worthwhile investment. The action against me could help her offset her legal fees and the eventual tip she’d be paying Robert Musumeci (after the case is decided in his favour). It won’t be much of an issue to track me down via my IP address anyway.

And believe me, I am scared. Who wouldn’t be scared at the thought of having to endure Astrid’s squeaky voice for more than five seconds?

Oh, North Korea. Wasn’t it the party she’s backing which had links with North Korea and deployed North Korean tactics against people gathered peacefully? Don’t get me going, Frank.

And by the way, ‘Frank’ doesn’t reveal much does it? So much for the pseudonym.

Vince Farrigia is not the GRTU. He has very little to do with this issue.

[….. We are also advertising heavily on the internet. The MTA has also just brought over to Malta 1,000 German travel agents, conscious of the fact that, despite the trend towards independent travel, the relationship with tour operators and travel agents remains a critical factor as they still account for nearly half our source of tourists. ……]

Andrea, have you ever considered working as a travel agent? You would then enjoy the chance to visit Malta more often at special prices, with or without Renzo Piano.

Moreover, I wonder whether one knows that 72,4 % of Germans wish to spend their holidays in Germany. A special link for your good self, Andrea:
