You may not wish to publish this, but I recall years ago seeing Consuelo on the BBC Antiques Roadshow (when one of the programmes was filmed in Malta). She was showing off the family furniture. It seems she always likes to be the centre of attention.

[Daphne – Funny you should mention that. We had a good laugh about it only yesterday. This was when an episode of the Antiques Roadshow was filmed in Malta. Consuelo hauled over to the shoot location a massive cabinet which, if I recall correctly, was valued at around Lm50,000. It was pretty obvious that she knew already what it was and how much it was worth, and that she had brought it onto the show only so that everyone else could see it too – without her having to invite them round to her home.]

I agree whole-heartedly. Why was the programme (and guest ) so insipid and tame and then Lou’s answer to Mr. Vella’s e-mail so full of vitriol and so matter-of fact? I find myself perplexed as I have known Lou to be much more incisive his programmes.

Yes, magistrates and judges should obey the code of ethics, u nippredendi li jaghtu ezempju tajjeb. Jafu ghallxiex dahlu! Daphne keep it up, forsi bis-sahha tieghek jinbidlu l-affarijiet!

And that was right after a video clip of him saying – more or less – that he’d interefere directly in the running of the law courts.

I want to think of better things when drinking wine than Saviour Balzan. I don’t know whose brainchild it was to have such a being advertising wine. He puts people off big time.
