Sounds like you&#039;re trying to &#039;raise funds&#039; over here! No hard feelings DCG, but I simply think that your comments, allegations and criticisms have reached a point where politicians can simply brush them off their shoulders. The only people they wind up are &#039;conservative-labourites&#039; like Mr/Ms Funny who enlighten the world wide web with their sheer intellect.

P.S. Lavatorial humour is amusing... and sometimes rightly merited.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Bingo! You&#039;ve got it at last! Politicians can brush off comments like mine! It&#039;s taken you a long time to work out  what the rest of the democratic world has known for a couple of centuries at least. You and your Labour cohorts are still too prone to reacting like fundamentalist Muslims to a Danish cartoon. So backward, so tiresome.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

And seriously? You think that Labourites want you on their side? As political ammunition, it makes sense -But as a party&#039;s moral, ethical, legitimate and rational integrity... I highly doubt it. Don&#039;t flatter yourself DCG. To be very honest with you, I don&#039;t think anyone really wants you on anyone&#039;s side... You clearly proclaimed yourself on the Nationalists&#039; side.. but the question is: do they really want you? Or are they merely tolerating you because you persistently break the Labourites&#039; cojones?

But fear not Lady DCG! Your blogs, articles or whatever are great potty-literature! They churn my bowels pretty well when I&#039;m sitting on my throne!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You people just can&#039;t move beyond the lavatorial humour, can you. Believe me, sweetheart, if Joseph Muscat was prepared to pay EUR40,000 a year to buy Marisa Micallef&#039;s silence (something he had already, but the man has no business sense), I could retire on what he&#039;d be prepared to pay me. However, he knows I&#039;m not for sale, despite getting that midget Kurt Farrugia to persuade his parrots into repeating the allegation that I&#039;m paid by the PN. If he really thinks that, then it begs the question: why doesn&#039;t he pay me more and have me move over to his side? Useless jerks - not a shred of logic between them.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

As a labourite I can only &#039;face-palm&#039; myself to such a comment dearest &#039;Funny&#039;...

But seriously Daphne, nothing better to write about?

Geez woman... do you REALLY have to pick on every little BS that happens? So what if she wanted her &#039;kuruna&#039; touched by the Pope? Once I followed and &quot;harassed&quot; a rock-band&#039;s singer in a cheap London souvenir shop, just to get an autograph! I guess everyone has different idols no?

(P.S.  I found it too (in)appropriate to put &#039;beads&#039; &#039;touched&#039; and &#039;Pope&#039; in the same sentence).]]></description>

I would so love to be Mrs Gonzi&#039;s next BFF - she is really perfect in her role!  And maybe Mrs Muscat could serve us tea and biscuits - I think she would fit the role perfectly!]]></description>

I&#039;m not so sure I agree with this, that in Malta grown women are expected to be &#039;cute&#039;.

In London, (well, the whole of the UK actually), women are wearing dresses that would fit mostly 10-year-olds.  If one visits online shopping websites, such as asos, it&#039;s very easy to see these &#039;cute&#039; dresses for older women.

I&#039;m not saying I like them, I&#039;m just saying that it&#039;s not &#039;only in Malta&#039;.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - We&#039;re talking about women in top jobs here, and no, they&#039;re not expected to be &#039;cute&#039; in Britain, but rather the opposite. Play it cute, and the assumption is that you&#039;re forced to do that because you have none of the attributes that the business really needs, like brains.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

@Daphne - The brainless ones maybe. (I mean the brainless women think they have got to look/act cute to get anywhere, and the brainless men think that women are only &quot;real women&quot; if they look/act cute.)]]></description>
