Kev, you have already proved that. Perhaps you should move to Portugal.

Freud was an Illuminati nutcase and his theories are wilder than Joe Muscat’s.

Crikey! That’s a tough nut to crack, Mr Purdie. But tall is not necessarily wise. In Portugal, the average Maltese is a demi-giant.

I laughed out loud when I first saw this image in the papers a while back. Now Obama is 6’1″-6’2″ so he’s not exactly a giant but he sure makes Gonzi look like a hobbit.

A Freudian delight…

There is a Maltese saying which goes “l-essenza fil-fliexken iz-zghar” (roughly translated as “the best things come in small packages”). IMMA MHUX FIT-TAPPIJIET!

This is weird. I only saw Muscat once in person, at this year’s boat show, and what struck me was that he looked taller in person than he did on TV and photos. I didn’t stand right next to him, but from about 15 feet away he looked 5’10”, and my friend thought the same thing. He must wear elevator shoes or something.

[Daphne – The man comes up roughly to my ear. I would say that makes him even less than 5’5″, because I’m pretty sure I’m under 5’7″. I’ll measure myself this evening and let you know.]

Sapiens omnia agit cum consilio. From one tall man to another.
