@Daphne…Clearly, a classic case of do as I say not as I do..perhaps that should be first commandment of catechism classes.
@Cassandra..Did you get an eyeful of the new PETA publicity campaign regarding animal welfare – playboy nude model covering her bits with a large crucifix? Hilarious, even in in spite of its crass sex-selling ploy. But how richly ironic when the crucifix is the flag of an organisation which is historically rabidly misogynistic.

Oh the distressed flutter of many an ecumenical heart that some of the angels they worship might actually have a vagina…WHAAAAT?

Ethel jien ghamilt l-ekonomija meta beda jigini l-kont gholi u mela noqghod nistenna l-ismart meters jew? Kieku ghidt li dawk li kienu jisirqu d-dawl issa nini nini ok, imma l-ohrajn heq, issa rridu nhallsu wkoll ghal ismart meters meta jigi kont iehor. Pacenzja.

Avolja smajt li tant hawn nies qed jitfghu d-dawl bil-lejl, li meta jigu biex jilbsu r-raincoat fil-kamra tas-sodda, jew ma jsibuhx ir-raincoat jew il-hjara! Bil-konsegwenza li qed jizdiedu c-children’s allowances!

@Ethel
1. by ‘education’ I was referring to educating the public on how to economise on electricity usage,
2. I really cannot imagine how anyone can justify spending 70 million in these times. For goodness sake that’s the cost of fixing all of our roads, and making ‘product Malta’ more competitive.
Bearing in mind that tourism is our major income earner, plus the fact that most of us have had it with crappy roads, THAT is certainly a priority.

re Smart Meters – I may add that these would help sifting out the number of people who steal electricity. I still think the expense will be justified in the long term. Regarding educating – government is spending quite enough on education if that is the eduction you are referring to. Otherwise I think that discpline in all sectors will automatically ‘educate’ people.

Stembhet ghall-gharrieda u nesiet li kienet topless. Marret tigri tittawwal u l-ewwel persuna li rat inzerta kien tal-haxix u staqsietu “Ghandek hin”? Hu kien pront wegibha,
“Iva, min joqghodli mal-hmara m’ghandix”.

I hope the vegetable man understood the deeper spiritual meaning of the crucifix: “Learning through suffering”.
