“for a brainstorming session…” I understand that is a midnight lapsus? I take it you meant “for a coconut milk storming session…”

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

That’s a change from “gossip columnist” (8 March 2010).
An important change from the Labour Front.

[Daphne – Yes, but entirely in tune with their penchant for painting themselves into public-affairs corners. On the one hand they belittle me as a trivial and insignificant gossip columnist, and on the other hand, they build me up as the power behind the throne. Then a light-bulb goes off in their heads, possibly because they’ve accidentally plugged themselves into a socket, and it occurs to them that the two are mutually exclusive. After that, they sit down for a brainstorming session and decide what it’s going to be this week. Is Daphne a gossip columnist? Or is she part of the inner circle and pulling the prime minister’s strings? The truth is too boring: that I’m just somebody who writes stuff that they don’t like.]

In reply to Charles Crawford. Good on you, Charles. By now all Malta knows about you, thanks to this blog, and not Maltastar.

From award-winning, Pulitzer-studded website Maltastar:
“On the said blog, Crawford says that he does not know many Maltese persons and also mentions Daphne Caruana Galizia, a columnits who is very close to the Prime Minister’s inner circle. He praises her blogs. ”

Daphne, you’re a columnits.

[Daphne – Crack open the Malathion, then. Oh god, I said ‘crack’. She’s going to call the police again. Good thing they’re outside already.]

In reply to Mandy Mallia. ..and who, when Minister of Education, is also said to have lectured a mass gathering of primary school children that they should be like her and should work, work, work, going on to say that so busy was she that it was sometimes many days before she even found time to change her knickers.

In reply to maryanne. A convention of Maltese expatriates would probably have been attended by the likes of the kind of people who emigrated to Australia or Canada fifty or sixty years ago, and who still feel the need to meet up at some "Maltese" club discussing festi and marci while eating pastizzi. And then we grumble because the "foreigners" here stick to their traditions and don't try to integrate.
