Min hu Vodafone? Noel Arrigo has a much better offer to add that zesty zing to your blow-jobs (and don't get your rosary rings confused with your penis rings, please, or things will get a little uncomfortable). Free tropical flavour Durex with every reduced sentence.

Min hu Vodafone? Noel Arrigo has a much better offer to add that zesty zing to your blow-jobs (and don't get your rosary rings confused with your penis rings, please, or things will get a little uncomfortable). Free tropical flavour Durex with every reduced sentence.

No condom-vending machine on campus, no state safe-sex campaigns that speak about condoms, a furor when Vodafone gives out condoms with contracts to students – but a chief justice who sells Durex’s entire range of condoms (sparkly, with bits and bobs attached, scented, chocolate-flavoured for blow-jobs, the works), that’s fine.

Lie down and bloody weep.

And I don’t mean the current chief justice, heaven forfend. I mean the ex one in the dock, with the rosary ring on his finger and the penis ring somewhere else.

    Min hu Vodafone? I think you meant “X’cuc huma tal- Vodafone”.

    [Daphne – No. I meant what I wrote.]

    Superking bil cock ring mar rosary beads.

    [Daphne – Oh yes, of course. He also sells Superkings. And Rizla papers, which are used mainly for marijuana – well, they were in my day, and I don’t think any of that has changed.]

      X’arukaza! Marijuana, eh! F’hiex wasalna, f’hiex wasalna! Dawn m’hemmx Alla ghalihom?

    • gahan says:

      Rizla is more in use now. I have a lot of friends who do this ‘ceremony’ of licking the edge of the paper, putting it together with a filter in the cigarette roller, put their special blend of tobacco and then roll the cigarette roller with both thumbs. They say that they smoke less and spend less. I always tell them that it would be even better if they don’t smoke.

  3. Tim Ripard says:

    You seem to have some kind of hang up about condoms. Why should Dr. Arrigo be ashamed of importing condoms, and the market-leaders at that? Do you find condoms offensive? Is this your convent education peeping through? So what if they’re chocolate-flavoured, sparkly or whatever. If the law of the land allows him to own shares in a condom-importing company (Do they import other things besides?) then you have no real complaint, unless your a major prude or a rabid Catholic – neither of which you are.

    [Daphne – No. I find the idea – sorry, the fact – of a chief justice who makes his living selling condoms, papers for making spliffs, cigarettes, vibrators and penis rings – I forgot the vaginal lubricants – just plain ridiculous.]

    • Andrea says:

      Tim, you can’t miss the irony (I assume you speak German):

      Bribe is “Schmiergeld” in German.
      Geld =money
      das Schmieren=greasing/lubrication

      • Tony Pace says:

        Methinks that allowing one’s self to be exposed to so much public ridicule is another ‘crime’ in itself. I cannot believe that this guy keeps digging away at it, schmieren or no schmieren :)

      • Harry Purdie says:

        Perhaps, if this loser ‘judge’ indulges in some ‘schmieren’ and ‘schmiergeld’, he’ll be able to slip through the bars. Probably already has.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Yeah “greasing the palm”. Same in English.

      • Tim Ripard says:

        Genau! (Although the German spoken here bears little relationship to that spoken in, z.B. Berlin or Hamburg, as I’m sure you are aware)

      • Tim Ripard says:

        Andrea, I have to admit that it didn’t occur to me, so thanks. Reason being that I switch to ‘English’ mode when reading this blog. I need the break from all those Fälle…

  4. Christopher B says:

    You`re brilliant Daphne, I also admire your courage, can`t stop laughing, imma vera pajjiz tal biki.

  5. Philip says:

    Yep…..one gutsy ‘tall’ lady…….truly inimitable.
    oops sorry, I meant Maltese tall.

  6. Antoine Vella says:

    Apart from everything else, it was such a stupid crime. Arrigo threw away his career, his social status and his reputation (those who, like me and the majority of Maltese, didn’t know him personally regarded him with respect as chief justice) for a few thousand euros he didn’t even need.

  7. Tony Pace says:

    Mr Vella, forget the social status and reputation. What he did to his long suffering wife, his children and the rest of his family alone deserves a 10 year sentence. Rosary ring indeed………….does the man have NO sense of decency?

    [Daphne – I hear from my spies in Siggiewi that he’s taken to going to church every day. Would that count as bribing God, given that he’s effecting payment up ahead? Or is he going about it like me with St Anthony: find my keys and I’ll pay you, but if you don’t find my keys I won’t?]

      As they say … Quando non si puo’ piu;, si ricorre al buon Gesu;.

    • gahan says:

      Same thing happened where I live: a murderer was out on bail; he got his handicapped son out of a care home and used to parade him in the town square in his wheelchair so that people would pity him. He spent some 15 years in jail and while serving his sentence he had to sell his house to pay his lawyer. One of his children sold his house, bought his father’s house, renovated it and went to live in it.

      The surprise came when we saw him on national TV stating how he hated the sound of the bolt of the cell door and how his children threw him out of his house into the street. Some people are like that Gozo kunserva: they never change.

  8. Malcolm Farrugia says:

    You are a real journalist Daphne. At least one of the few who have the guts to expose ex “Mr Justice” for what he really is. Unfortunately for him the trial is concluded, I would have suggested his lawyer to say that the money was meant as an investment in the flavoured rubber commodities his client sells.

  9. Two weights says:

    Actually, NMArrigo seems to be a great venture:

    Condoms: prevents STDs, unwanted pregnancies
    Rizla: both for roll-up cigarrettes (!!) and spliffs (ooohh).. nothing wrong in indulging in some hedonism.
    Cigarettes: I’m a smoker…
    Vibrator/Penis Rings/lubricants (vaginal or otherwise): anything to make sex more pleasure can’t be a bad thing.

    You forgot to mention other stuff they sell: make-up, perfumes, face creams, deodorants, alcohol (!!! my lord, they should be shot!!) ….

    or you just trying to be sensationalist?

    • Tim Ripard says:

      Frankly, I can’t really get my head around Daphne’s apparent dislike of condoms, penis rings and Gleitgel. And before you say it’s the fact that it’s the chief justice selling them that you find intolerable, I ask you – would you feel the same if he was selling, say, clothes?

      [Daphne – A chief justice should sell NOTHING. And especially, he should not resign as a director of the company in which he is a majority shareholder, transfer his shares to his (then still young) children, but after the morning’s business as chief justice is done, headquarter himself in his company boardroom to receive the overtures of criminals.]


      I doubt it somehow. It’s not as though the salary of the chief justice can compare with what a good lawyer or a successful publisher/journalist earns and it’s not like he’s selling condoms door to door either. His minions maybe. His main duty is counting the profits I would think.

      [Daphne – Apparently not, given that he was that desperate for 11,000 euros and that when he became chief justice there were parliamentary questions (and answers) about all his unpaid bills. ]

    I guess it’s a judge thing. Have you met Judge Penis Pump?

  11. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Say what you like about the man, but he sells products with taste. Now, do you think he’ll still be groping arses in prison?

    ‘sparkly, with bits and bobs attached, scented, chocolate-flavoured for blow-jobs, the works’

    Good taste!

    Jekk niftakar tajjeb meta kien hemm il-famuz kaz ta certu Mr. Ellul li kien inqabad jimporta d-droga mill-Brazil u fil-qorti kien qal li haseb li kien qieghed iggorr l-ezmeraldi. Kien tella’ jixhed favur tieghu l-imhallef Arrigo, fejn dan kien qal li jafu persuna ta’ kondaotta tajba jew xi kliem f’dan is-sens. Wara dan il-kaz dan l-istess akkuzat kien inqabad diversi drabi ohra b’kazi konnessi mad-droga. Mela b’kumbinazzjoni l-imhallef Arrigo qabel lahaq Prim Imhallef kellu konnoxxenza ma persuna reletati mad-droga insaqsi jien. Xi skrutinju sar biex gie imlahhaq fir-raba l-ghola kariga ta’ l-istat Malti? Il-ministru tal-gustizzja li nnominah ghal kariga hekk prestigjuza x’ghandu xi jghid. U l-oppozzizjoni siekta ukoll…….omerta shieha……ic-cittadin jisthoqlu ferm ahjar.
