To be fair, calling him a clown was quite insulting, to clowns that is.

Thanks for this funny, perceptive analysis Daphne. It’s fascinating to see, however, that several people (like the editor of the Sunday Circle) are being wooed big time by Gingerbread Man while others see right through him and can’t stomach his smug face. I wonder how this particular cookie crumbles.

In reply to Rover. Rover, even for ex-pats living here in Malta, Daphne's blog is a highlight of the day. The sad idiots she so aptly describes continue to amuse us even in present times.

In reply to Anna. Is it true that the World Clown Association is considering legal action against you for ridiculing their skills?

In reply to Magrin. And in the land where everything is bigger and longer, someone mean and nasty is called “motherfucker”.

For many of us living abroad your blog is the highlight of our day. Sad characters like Mintoff, Bezzina and Farrugia are nothing but reminders of a distant miserable past, of a youth spent worrying about abused democracy in my country of birth. Clowns and c u next tuesdays are but a few of the names I have gladly called them over the years.

“…..like he’d rather be anywhere else but there: in a New York loft surrounded by admirers of either sex, for example….”

Very good observation: ‘someone’ was overheard saying that if we eventually do get divorce we shall, in all probability, see a man fleeing Goldilocks cottage.

Il-lasta tal-ixkupa tkelmet

[Daphne – Mank li kont ghadni qisni lasta tal-ixkupa, hanini. Dak kien zmien. U issa n-nisa kolla ma jieklux u immorru l-gym biex forsi isiru bhal ma kont jien fl-istat naturali tieghi, meta kontu tghajruni lasta tal-ixkupa. Issa mhux moda tkun qisek lasta? Sorry – toothpick, ghax in-nisa Maltin daqxejn qosra.]
