Mela ergajt qlibt, Len? Fixkiltni issa. And sport? Isn’t that sort of passe?

[Daphne – And here’s another pedant, to remark that he would have had some difficulty pointing out a spelling mistake in your spoken Italian.]

I hope that you are not so nit-picking with your university students. What is important here is that you understood perfectly well what I wrote in my comment. Translated in Maltese it would read “L-ispizjar (or il-qahba) milli jkollu jtik”.

” stick with those in countries where elections are rigged, like Iran.”

And where the “supreme authority” is still unelected.

Daphne so your perception leads you to know that Cameron is better than Brown, as the latter is incompetent, yet you fail to recognise and COMMENT on the incompetences of our PM (Ma tmurx my goodness naghtu xi vantagg lil Joseph!).

You prefer to remain in this ‘election’ mode excusing each and every f**k-up this PM conjures on a daily basis, as a future JM will be worse. Honestly, I cannot understand your logic here.

[Daphne – My dear, there are quite enough singers in the chorus of criticism against Lawrence Gonzi. On the other hand, my fellow newspaper writers in general appear not to have understood yet that Joseph Muscat is the prime minister in waiting, and that the time to start criticising him was in June last year, and not when he begins f**king up the country from his seat on Castille hill. You may be unaware that we have been here before, precisely in 1996, when Sant has gilded feet and gossamer wings and I was reviled for being the only one pointing out that he was a subject for the psychiatrist’s couch who would take us down the short road to hell. Where men are concerned, I like to believe that I can trust my judgement. It’s let me down a couple of times, but on the whole it’s been pretty accurate.]

Funny how no one is mentioning Joseph Muscat’s latest rant about Malta and the EU: how we should show-case the country to the rest of Europe when Malta takes the Council’s rotating presidency in 2017. Is he already fantasizing about himself being President of the European Council? There’s incompetence for you…

[Daphne – And how would she know, at 50+ and with no sons or daughters that age? She is not part of the solution, but part of the problem, as she was – incidentally – for the other lot.]

A perfect example of Labour thinking as described above – single issue…u skond il-bzonnijiet tieghEK.

Marisa – don’t you despair too? Is this what you really want?

You make it sound as if the Marsa sports complex has been given to “barunijiet” and “friends of friends”. In fact it has been given to sports associations working hard to foster love of sports among young people. As a rule, these NGOs are more efficient and better suited to manage the facilities than any government department.

The Malta Amateur Athletic Association is made up of people like you and they are now responsible for the track so that it can be used by people like you. There really is no excuse to go jogging on the roads.

Ooo-la-la! It looks like a sense of humour is lacking in some quarters!

“Muscat is sweeping everyone in his party!”

Then I suggest he buys a brand new broom as the one he is using is leaving lots behind.
