L-istejjer tar-Ronnie – verzjoni 2010

L to R - Ronnie Pellegrini, his master Lorry Sant, Georg Sapiano chairing the debate and Wenzu Mintoff.

Just when I was looking for a suitable photograph to accompany this charming comment (read further down) which just came in from Ronnie Pellegrini’s daughter, PING went my in-box and by some extraordinary coincidence, there it was.

Somebody had sent me a picture taken at a debate organised by Alternattiva Demokratika and held in Freedom Square in 1990 or thereabouts.

I was there in the audience.

The debate was between Wenzu Mintoff, who had just left the Labour Party and joined AD, and Lorry Sant. Georg Sapiano was chair.

This was before the ‘Affaire Brown Envelope’, when Lorry Sant placed on the table of the house a packet which, he said, contained compromising photographs of interest to Wenzu Mintoff, leading to a certain measure of chaos in parliament.

Anyway, the debate in Freedom Square was made up mainly of shouting and insults, as can be expected. Lorry Sant waved papers about – as you can see in the picture – while his keyring and sidekick Ronnie Pellegrini alternated between looking bored (when big words were used) and jumping around like a chimp when things took a turn that he understood – Lorry shouting, for instance, or Lorry issuing Big Threats.

Which brings me back to the comment which his daughter (a grown woman, incidentally) posted on this blog, objecting to the use of a photograph taken from her Facebook thingie.

Dear Ms. Caruana Galizia. You of all people should know that STEALING OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTY is against the law i.e. being a lawyer and all.
How dare you publish something which is MY PERSONAL PROPERTY WITHOUT MY CONSENT!! This is invasion of privacy you know that don’t you?!
I would like to know how you managed to get into my facebook page and photos!? Maybe one of your little sneaky PN rats are doing the dirty work for you?!
Shame on you!
who the hell do you think you are?
Some God given gift to man kind who is trying to illuminate Malta about my father’s sexual activities?! haha you’re just being silly you know that.
Please Ms. DGC – get a life of your own and let others be.
How dare you drag family members in your silly futile disputes?!
You don’t know me and THANK GOD i don’t know you but you will definitely hear from my lawyers I tell you that!

Well, Daniela – it’s nice to see that there’s been some evolution of the species here. You tell me that I’ll be hearing from your lawyers (terrifying). Your father would have fixed things with some of his fellow Lorry Sant thugs.

I can’t imagine where you got the idea that I’m a lawyer when half the country knows what I do for a living.

I didn’t steal your photograph. It’s still where you left it, on your Facebook profile. If you don’t want other people copying your photographs, then don’t upload them onto the internet. You can’t control the internet. If I don’t copy your photographs, other people will. The difference is that with this blog, you’ll know that your photographs have been copied. But for all you know, a hundred other people might have copied your pictures too, used them for their own private purposes, and you will never know about it.

How did I manage to get into your Facebook page? I didn’t. Others did – and not one other, but several. Facebook pages are not Fort Knox. Any one of your listed friends can get in, and so can friends of those friends. When something like this happens, it teaches you that it is really impossible to have 400 friends because 390 of them will turn out to be anything but.

‘Sneaky little PN rats’- it never occurred to me that rats might have a vote. I’ll begin looking at them with new eyes.

‘Who the hell do you think you are?’ – I never bothered to think about it, but according to Maltastar I’m the Blowsy Bidnija Blogger and the Bidnija Witch. Obviously, they are endlessly fascinated by my choice of home. Had I chosen the next hill but one – dammit – they would have a name with a nice ring to it – the Wardija Witch – but that would have put paid to the Bidnija Blogger.

I have never said anything about your father’s sexual activities. I had no idea he had any.

‘Get a life of your own’ – any more life and I’ll be sleeping for two hours a night instead of the current five.

‘How dare you drag family members…’: just to put you straight, Daniela – I may know nothing about your father’s sexual activities and they fail to interest me. But I do know rather a lot about his internet activities, which are more public. They tend to involve quite a lot of slander to various members of my extended family. So if I were you, I’d put a little rocket under him next time you meet for supper before I do it to him myself. And I will resist the temptation to say that perhaps he’ll enjoy it.

I look forward to hearing from your lawyers, particularly because I am interested in knowing how they plan to instruct me to return a virtual image.

P.S. Tell your father that the next time he comes to court to support Magistrate Herrera, daughter of Judge Herrera, friend of his late boss Lorry Sant, he should wear a dark suit rather than a cream one with a softly glowing pale gold tie. And he should wear risers in his shoes to help him get a good look through the little glass windows when he’s thrown out because he hasn’t managed to squeeze in next to Miss Micallef because my sister got there first.

    Thanks

    She’s not very smart, is she?

    It’s Daphne’ s reply to Daniela that made me laugh out loud.

  6. Isard du Pont says:

    Is this Daniela telling us that her father has ‘sexual activities’ but we have no right to discuss them? Or is she denying that he has ‘sexual activities’?

    The way these people write it’s hard to work out what they’re trying to say.

  7. The Bus Conductor says:

    Google Daniela Pellegrini and her Facebook profile pic (Daniela sunbathing, which she obviously uploaded herself) is there for all the billions of people on internet to see.

    What her problem? Didn’t she upload them anyway?

    I hear and read many rumours about you. The latest one is on this blog. Having you been hiding your law dikri?

  9. Genoveffa says:

    Judging by their comments, I’d say that the grand total of the IQs of all the members of your hate club doesn’t reach double figures. Wahda ahjar mill-ohra.

  10. ray meilak says:

    To Ms Daniela: do you know that the pictures on your Facebook can be seen as far away as Japan? Or are you too dimwitted to have worked that out?

    While John Attard Montaldo was in Madagascar, Joseph Muscat and his bunch of MEPs failed to secure support from the European Socialists on the Frontex vote yesterday, notwithstanding the relentless efforts of the EPP group to stop the new set of regulations for Frontex.

    The Frontex vote passed with only 33 votes from the Socialists, and now Malta is prejudiced.

    Do you remember Joseph Muscat waving that letter of commitment from Martin Schulz on immigration?

    “Malta has to stand firm on immigration, Muscat said, referring to last week’s government’s failure to make Italy take irregular migrants rescued close to Lampedusa. He also noted that Martin Schulz, president of the European Socialists Group, has promised to support the issue of Malta on a European level. The Socialists Group in the European Parliament, of which PL is a member, is promising to prioritise Malta’s case, to make the EU grant more assistance to tackle the immigration situation in the country..”

    You would think that one learns from other people’s mistakes especially all being associated to the one party. Alas it seems they like to dig deep holes.

  14. Leonard says:

    Lorry Sant looks like Elvis singing Suspicious Minds.

  15. The Bus Conductor says:

    “but you will definitely hear from my lawyers I tell you that!”

    Lawyers. More than one. Would that be Andy Pandy and Vince?

  16. V Muscat says:

    Sharon Ellul Bonici gave some advice on facebook.
    Draw your own conclusions.

    Sharon Ellul Bonici: And the judge said, ” He who will freely speak his mind is punished, and he who shuts up and smile instead move ahead”.

    “We’re caught in a trap….I can’t walk out” I know you’re humming the tune.

  18. gel says:

    Daphne, how dare you speak about her father’s sexual activities. Only Miss Jason has a right.

  19. Gahan says:

    Dal-Face Book nisthajlu xkora rix ittir ma’ riefnu forza tmienja. Daniela, nahseb li l-anqas biss kella tohrog bl-ixkora rix maghluqa, ahseb u ara tifrixa ma’ l-erba’ t’irjieh tad-dinja fuq l-internet.

    Issa troppo tardi! L-ebda avukat m’hu se jigbrilha ir-rix li waddbet fuq dal-mniefah ta’ Face Book. Kull ma’ ghamlet Daphne hu li gabret rixa milli xerrdet din is-sinjorina u urietielna.

    Anyone interested in importing rat traps?

    The internet ignorance of some of these people who play around with social networking sites is baffling.

    The ignorance of some people is baffling
