I am in my early fifties. I differ from your views. I wouldnt mind showin my bum on facebook, i.e if i had a nice one.

Good day

Li taghmel mill-ahjar biex tidher presentabbli kemm possibbli, haga tajba ukoll ghax hadd ma jiehu pjacir ihares fil-mera u jara il kruha. Anki Facebook…..ghaliex le….jista jintuza b’ mod tajjeb.

Imma li tmur taqa ghan-nelh b’ certi pozi u certi kummenti u certi ritratti, dak lea. Mara ta’ certu eta` (u anki ragel), iktar ma tipprova tagixxi ta’ wahda ta’ xi ghoxrin, iktar tidher xiha purtroppo.

Apparti li tidher anki “cheap”.

Trid izzomm id-dekor tieghek u tammetti li kbirt u li m’ hemm xejn hazin. Zmienek tkun ghamiltu, u tibda stadju iehor tal-hajja, dik kollha. Nahseb li kulhadd jibza jixjieh, imma kulhadd jrid jghaddi minnha, allura l-ahjar, kif jghidu l-inglizi “age gracefully”. Sabiha kemm int sabiha, l-eta` hemm tkun u ma tistax tahrabha.

Staha jaqraha! Irid ikun jaf min hu Spanky Charlie. Irid il-provi, issa! U sammarni, ha nghidilkom. Dan is-Sur Scicluna mhux nejk. Bla ma gietni f’mohhi, akkuzajt minghajr provi. Izda nispjega li dak li naf qaluli Faqmi Roy, li jigi hu Spanky Charlie.

[Daphne – Look, I need convincing that people who vote Labour can think. I don’t need to be convinced further in the opposition direction. It’s getting tedious.]

I think Kev needs a new chincilla to play with, because he seems to have too much free time on his hands.

[Daphne – Would a chinchilla qualify as a sex toy, do you think? Maybe we should ask Consuelo.]

Its called poetic licence Daphne. Do you really think I expect you to put your feet up and smoke a spliff for God’s sake ?
I’m just trying to tell you to relax and accept that “oldies” live their lives differently to when you were young. I didn’t expect you to be such a reactionary in the face of fast changing attitudes and values.

[Daphne – They don’t, Nick. Malta is a sociologist’s heaven. Because of a concert of factors peculiar to my generation in this island, many adults of this age group have been emotionally/psychologically/educationally arrested somewhere around the age of 18. I have experienced it nowhere else. It’s still a revelation to me, going to a party/meeting outside Malta and having a proper adult conversation instead of being surrounded by a sea of flapping women in tight hipsters, black tops, six-inch heels and identikit blow-dried hair going ‘Ma! U ejja! Guess what! You know what she said? As if! You know he’s leaving her, eh? U ejja! Serves her right. But have you heard that she really fancies Joe? U yes! Joe! Ma, you know, yesterday I was at the gym and on the way out there was this blackie and I thought he was going to rape me.’ X’disperazzjoni.]

Don’t take my word for it. Go feast your eyes.

I mean, really, who wouldn’t delete such a comment? It’s embarrassing to be associated with anyone who thinks on those lines. Her own “friends” are undermining her “authority”.

Iktar milli mhux ghax kapaci ilahqu maghha, “dawn tal-Labour” qishom qed jisparaw fil-ghama bit-tama li jolqtu xi haga. Per ezempju, dan Spanky Charlie, min hu? Jigi minn Frans ta’ Caqcaq?

Jekk Kev ghandu xi haga johrogha bil-provi. Mhux biex naqbez ghal Daphne ghax bejnietna ma tantx iddoqqli imma dil-bicca ta Cali ta’ Werwer il-veru imbecilli. Jien sthajt naqraha.

Jekk ma tafx min hu tghid xejn ghax iktar taqa’ ghan-nejk, kif jghidu l-Francizi.

U billi kif qed tghid int, sur/sinjura Muscat igibu r-razza u r-radika? Jekk ic-cinga tkun qasira jista jkun hemm mitt kelb jinbah ghax xorta mohhok mistrieh li mhux se jigdmuk.

Affarijiet bhal dawn iwaqqghu kull ghamla ta’ kritika u difiza ghal-livell dilettantesk li mishutin bih hafna Maltin li jridu jidhru fl-isfera pubblika.

Jisghob bija jekk forsi dhert li hrigt qatta’ bla habel kontra das-sur kev, li ma nafux minn Adam, imma tiddejjaq li kull diskussjoni fuq kull mezz ta’ xandir trid issib lil xi hadd li johrog b’xi haga li semaghha min ghand Leli li semaghha min ghand Wenzu li qalielu Gori tal-laham.
Pajjiz tas-seksieka li ninjuraw il-fatti u l-istharrig.

[Daphne – Kev huwa r-ragel ta’ Sharon Ellul Bonici.]
