Oh, I forgot to tell you one of the best bits from Magistrate Herrera’s testimony in court.

She was very upset at my revelation of her demands to the Siggiewi local council, where her lover is mayor, for free mobile lavatories and lighting for a party she planned (without asking the local council’s permission) at Is-Salib tal-Gholja.

Apparently, she got the idea for a party at Is-Salib tal-Gholja when she went there for a ‘mixja tal-Gimgha l-Kbira’, on Good Friday last year.

Did they have a special event for adulterers and fornicators, perhaps?

I thought that is how the Catholic Church looks upon those who live as she does – as being in a permanent state of mortal sin.

But then I’m not up to speed with Catholicism in the 21st century, because I prefer to live my life decently while not going to Good Friday processions rather than wrecking other people’s homes and my own and then beating my chest all the way up Is-Salib tal-Gholja. So I might be a little out of touch here.

As for that masquerade on New Year’s Eve – you know, the one with Sharon in her mask and Andy Ellul and Vince Micallef and the rest of the shabby crowd – she did it to raise funds for handicapped people in need of treatment, after discussing the matter with her kappillan.

Lie down and weep.

    Tghidlix li se ggib lil-Dun Marjan xhud ta, ghax nikxef il-borma jien issa!

    “The hills are alive with the sound of music.” So that is where Consie gets her inspiration from. And it had to be Good Friday. I wonder if she was wearing chains around her ankles.

    “She said she had organised parties for charity”

    Nice dress code for charity related parties – Lady Di must turning in her grave with green envy. HALLINA CONS!

    I thought “costumes of a religious nature” were prohibited this last carnival.

    Straight out of the the Noel Arrigo School of Public Relations:

    “I went to see the parish priest to return the money”

    “I’m wearing a rosary ring in the dock.”

    “I have three confessors.”

    “I planned a family trip to Lourdes with Dun Gorg Dalli.”

    Tas-Sooper Wan ma rawhiex din? Mohhom fl-oxxenita, is-soltu.

    Is the last bit, about the kapillan, real?

    [Daphne – Horrifyingly, it’s ALL real.]

    According to The Times of Malta:
    “She said she had organised parties for charity, and produced documents to substantiate her testimony.”

    That doesn’t mean that all the parties she organised were for charity and it would not automatically mean that she wasn’t using this as a screen to hide her real intentions.

    Freemasons also give money for charity, and Noel Arrigo used the kappillan of Haz-Zebbug to handle the dirty money.

    I nearly forgot the name of Patrick Vella who just did what he had to do, without much theatrics. He kept a low profile and just admitted his guilt and served his sentence.

    Mhux ghalhekk ghedt li l-ahjar li twaqqaf kollox biex ma nkomplux nisimaw bic-cucati?

    Ghalhekk aghmlu bhal Patrick Vella u ma jibqawx jinkixxfu borom.

    Din mela qed tinqeda bil Dar Tal-Providenza biex taghmel dawn il-parties. Ghaliex kellha issemmi id-Dar Tal-Providenza, ghax il-bibbja tghid li l-aqwa karita hi ta’ dak li hadd ma jkun jaf li ghamel karita.

    Daphne, keep it up u jekk ma jisktux, kompli ikxef il-borom.

      Il-karita mhix li taghti miz-zejjed tieghek, izda li taghti sa kemm twegga’…il-habba ta’ l-armla tiswa iktar mill-eluf tal-Farizew, ghal-Mulej.

    @Pippo,
    Jekk dawn ghalik huma cucati, mela kif ikunu l-oxxenitajiet?

  14. P M says:

    Ilni biex nghida din dwar dak li qal Noel Arrigo “I have three confessors”.

    Mela kemm kien jaghmel dnubiet?

    Mur arah jaghzel: dan id-dnub nghidu lil dak, dan intih lit-tieni wiehed waqt li dan, forsi jtini inqas penitenza nghidu lil dak.

  15. Gahan says:

    Ghal li jista’ jkun, ma qalitx li kienet se torganizza xi pellegrinagg ghal Lourdes ma’ Dun Gorg Dalli, hux?
