Good job, Super One

Ahjar nikkonsulta ftit ma' Miss Micallef

When I appeared in court for Magistrate Scerri Herrera’s defamation suit, the Super One cameras camped outside the building for three hours – a full team composed of crack reporter Charlon Gouder, bionic cameraman Byon Jo Zammit and a couple of bag-holders.

Apparently, their camera was needed nowhere else on important business that day, or their antics on Comino in tents raised enough money to buy a spare.

They also thought it of sufficient news value to follow me and members of my family halfway around Valletta, until we had to call the police, who went off with Charlon instead.

But when Sandro Chetcuti was arraigned yesterday for the attempted murder of Vince Farrugia, then no – Charlon, Miss Jason and Super One couldn’t spare a camera or a reporter and they were nowhere to be seen. Miss Jason and Ronnie didn’t put on their matchy-matchy pale suits with subtle gold ties and sit in court as a show of support to one party and hostility to the other, as they did with Consuelo’s defamation suit.

No, they stayed well clear.

    did you expect otherwise?

    They must have been busy preparing their version at Super One!

  3. Il-Cop says:

    Maybe the camera is still being repaired after the handbag attack.

    Dik l-ingravata qisha ta’ San Alwigi. Jaqaw xtraha minghand Pace?

    Jistghu ikunu izjed sfaccati minn hekk? Xi kultant nigi f’dubju jekk hijiex xi tattika elaborata jew injuranza annimaleska!

    Il-Mulej jehlisna…

    reporters…tal-biki

  7. Twanny says:

    And if they HAD been there? – you would have interpreted that as support for Chetcuti, somehow.

    Damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

    These guys are amateurish at best! I’m going to be on the first RyanAir flight out of here if they ever come to govern!

    Gew jaraw il marmalja NAZZJIONALISTA immexxija minhekk baby dahpe intom min dejjem kontu marmalja sfrenata.

  11. tony says:

    Minn kien issawwatkom fit 80 illum qed jigru wara deputtata min tghakom u qed ittuh kuntratti kbar sinjura baby dahpe kif jista ikun meta suppost ghamiltu gustizzja min jaf min qabbadhom biex issa qed igawdu daqsek alla wahdu biss jaf baby dahpe.

    • N.L says:

      min huma Tony dawn in nies u ma liema deputtata tal-P.N. qed jigru.

      Jekk forsi kont wiehed minnhom, anki dak iz-zmien, in-nies kontu taghzluhom. Ghax lil dawk li kienu kapaci jiddefendu lilhom infushom ma kontux tersqu lejhom.

      Tant u hekk li wara t-telfa elettorali tal-1987 ma baqawx bullijiet. Ghamlu bhal bebbuxu dahlu f`qoxorthom.

    • Charlie Bates says:

      Who is this Tony? Does he do it on purpose calling you baby dahpe? Does he think that he is cynical and and maybe a bit humorous? By now we all know who Twanny is; now it is Tony’s turn.

      [Daphne – Yes, and here we all are, colluding in the myth and calling Victor Laiviera Twanny.]

  12. SPTT says:

    Jahasra ghadhom ma jafux kemm jigbed viewership xi clip tal-Consie. Jien smajt li ha jkun the new face of Guerlain ghall-istagun li jmiss

  13. Yanika says:

    Daphne – the caption is misleading… it might make people think you were referring to Marisa Michallef (or were you?).

    [Daphne – I would have said Mrs Micallef. She’s a divorcee.]

    • Yanika says:

      Just as a note: I heard that now it’s not Mrs. but Ms, whether she is married or not. They are doing away with the Miss too. It’s not in anyone’s interests (or shouldn’t be) to know whether a particular woman is married or not, just as no one would know from the title if a Mr is married or not.

      [Daphne – I always insist on being called Mrs. It has a nice solid ring to it, like a school matron or head housekeeper. It certainly has loads more authority than Mizzzzzzz.]

  14. Tony Pace says:

    Importanti tkunu tafu li Tony Pace mhux Tony. Cos dey mite cum and take me away otherwise.

    U mur saqqi il-hass tal-Marsa, Ton.

    And by the way Daphne good ploy of yours to publish this idiot’s inane contributions. As someone else said, Gesu’ harisna.
