I got them in exchange for the editor of Illum
Here’s Brave New World Journalist of the Year Julia Farrugia (now editor of Illum, following Harry Vassallo’s departure for Brussels with John Dalli), discussing a trip to Morocco on – where else? – Facebook:

lol…ma tantx kont diplomatika waqt l-assignments! l-aktar x’hin pruvaw jixtruni ghal 300 camel :)
Three hundred camels? It doesn’t seem like a fair swap for one cow. Ahjar tghid il tal-Labour biex jaghmlu daqxejn kontroll fuq il-prezzijiet.

Le, hej – mhux hekk! Jien haddt ghalija. Izjed nahseb ‘qamel’ li offrew…
Facebook…. making rahal gossip almost TOO easy.
Julia is a good looking journalist….. she is hot actually :)
[Daphne – It’s not hot looks that are required to edit a newspaper. It’s brains.]
Forsi Anglu joffri l-iljunfant ukoll.
Envy :p
[Daphne – Hardly. There is nothing about Julia Farrugia or her Bridget Jones life – without the happy ending – that I could possibly ever have wanted or want now. If you were perceptive, you might be able to see that it’s the other way round.]
How is it that every single Maltese woman who goes to north Africa claims to have had camels offered in exchange for her?
Because it’s true. This one time I almost sold my sister for forty camels, until mum intervened and cut short my Baxxter of Arabia dreams.
Yeah, sure it is :)
Only last month while on holiday in Tunisia I was offered twenty-two camels for my wife. Shipping them to Malta was a major hassle though, and I have no idea what to do with them now they’re here. Musemeci, fancy a trade-up?
You will need an expert in exotic fauna. I suggest you apply here: http://www.anglufarrugia.com
You mean this one, right?

Lino Cert
Only 22? Prices seem to have gone up since then.
Maybe they thought she could do with a hump … or 300!
Didn’t this woman sue her former boyfriend in court for assault and splash it on Super One? Beware, Daphne, beware.
