Jurgen may be single but that doesn't mean he can't pay for it

Jurgen persuades us that he does occasionally get laid - even if he has to go to Bulgaria and shell out to do it

While Jurgen Cachia was safely trapped on a plane with no access to internet, we took advantage of the time-window and used it to go through his Facebook photo albums before he took down his Facebook page (as I knew he would). Here’s a nice picture of Jurgen ‘Tits’ Cachia with a couple of tarts in a Bulgarian bar. And here’s Jurgen, discussing Bulgarian nightlife elsewhere on the internet:

hi sofia has a gret nightlife and for maltese is a great destination because tourist prefer the east cost and sofia is not that much touched if there is any maltese who wish to go to sofia he can contact me because of my buisnes i have to go to sofia every 6weaks

I must say that in all these years he hasn’t learned the difference between ‘week’ and ‘weak’. Another internet comment of his, made a couple of years before that one (and in which, unbelievably, he describes his ambition – yes, seriously – to win the Mr Malta title) has a photograph of him with two friends at their ‘weakly dinner’, which is clearly lunch (the sunshine is a clue).

And in case you’re wondering whether he’s in Bulgaria now, he isn’t. He told the police he was off to Bournemouth and didn’t want to miss his flight.

With his Facebook albums now history, we won’t be treated to the sight of Jurgen Cachia, hero of Forum Zghazagh Laburisti, with his short arms around a couple of tarts in mini-skirts, bare legs and white stilettos.

    maltese, because tourist, east cost, is not that much touched, if there is any maltese, buisnes i, 6weaks.

    You have also accidentally stumbled upon one of mlatasart.com’s anonymous writers.

    He is showing us that he works for 2X Software.

    What a ‘weak-end’ eh?

    ” … but that doesn’t mean he can’t pay for it.”

    Maybe as of Monday, he won’t be able to. Well, I’m sure Charlon can introduce him to some ‘tal-lira’ chick from Albertown.

  5. ciccio2010 says:

    This photo must have been taken at a Bulgarian Big Tits competition. Maybe they hold one ever 6 weaks somewhere in Sofia?

  6. Aristocrat says:

    He doesn’t do any credit to 2X Software.

    Can someone become an IT engineer without knowing how to spell (let alone punctuate)?

    • Matthew says:

      ‘Support engineer’ is just an impressive-sounding way to describe a customer service rep, though you would think that this makes good spelling even more important.

      • tat TWO NEWS says:

        Jien nahseb li veru huwa ‘support engineer’. Kif jidher mir-ritratt qieghed jaghmel studju fuq il-principju tal-cantilever u kif dan japplikawh it-tarts Bulgarizi.

    Wow. I seriously hope this guy’s school attendance record is blank, otherwise something, somewhere is seriously wrong with our educational system.

    I hope that whoever employs this twat fires his sorry ass post haste.

    If he claims to be an IT engineer, then I’m Napoleon Bonaparte.

    The fact that Jurgen Cachia comes from Għaxaq may explain the link to the Kumitat Festa Sta Marija of Għaxaq on the ‘We Hate Gonzi’ Facebook group, which, incidentally, still survives on Hi5.

    [Daphne – He was one of the people instrumental in setting up the We Hate Gonzi site, with that picture of the prime minister in an electric chair. He promoted it heavily on his Facebook page. I see that the Labour Party is still the natural home of life’s losers, despite the hype. It attracts losers like a Giant Loser Magnet. Even Marisa Micallef gravitated there because she’s a loser. It’s just unbelievable. The trouble is that this country is chock full of people with a loser attitude. All the losers I know vote Labour. It’s incredible.]

    • Aristocrat says:

      Could you describe the “loser” attitude?

      [Daphne – Grudges, resentment, lack of initiative, blaming others for your failure to get ahead, negative thinking, believing that if others have something then it’s because you didn’t get it first and there’s less to go round for you, focussing on what others have and you don’t, laziness, general low achievement, not pro-active, looking for others to solve your problems, insatiable envy of high achievers and suspicion that they only got there through unfair means or networks…..you get the picture. The reverse of the American ‘can do’ approach to life.]

      • Aristocrat says:

        You know how much I like and admire your writing and your way of thinking, etc.

        But on this one, I have to disagree.

        Don’t you think that, unlike the US, Malta is riddled with the closed shop mentality?

        [Daphne – I don’t understand: that’s just what I said, that the Maltese loser attitude is the reverse of the US.]

      • Aristocrat says:

        What I meant is that Malta seems to be a closed shop – it hardly allows anyone to move ahead unless he has a “saint high above”…

        You have said, on more than one occasion, that you despise the Southern Mediterranean attitude that reigns supreme here. Clientelism is part and parcel of that attitude.

        So, despite one’s sense of initiative and wanting to achieve, there is a societal infrastructure which does not allow you to move on unless you’ve got support from above. Maltese society is not below-upward but above-downward.

      • Ta' Ninu says:

        Spot on Daphne, and with much ”lanzit” for good measure, which I believe incorporates all that you suggest together with, regrettably, a lot of deep rooted hatred for those who are meant to be one’s fellowmen.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        The Maltese approach is seniority, not meritocracy.

        But this ‘loser’ classification is doubtful. I mean I’m the greatest loser on earth, but I’d never dream of voting Labour. And exactly how are these prominent Labourites ‘losers’? They all have highly-paid jobs, positions and connections in ‘Brassil’, flashy cars, trophy wives/girlfriends and the best prospects in the world. Oh yes, they lack class and intelligence, and they can’t spell or tie a Windsor knot, but I wouldn’t say they’re losers. They’ve been quite successful.

        [Daphne – They’re not the ones who sit around and vote Labour. They’re they ones who make Labour work for them. And they stand out precisely because they’re the exception that proves the rule. From what I read here, I wouldn’t say you have a loser attitude – and we’re talking about attitude, not cars and jobs. You can be a cleaner and not have a loser attitude.]

        It’s the reason Joseph Muscat is so popular. He is everything that your average Maltese chap aspires to be. OK maybe not in the WAGS department, but hey, the marriage is still going strong.

        [Daphne – Not your average Maltese chap, but your mittilkless chap: the male version of Mona Farrugia. I know lots of average chaps who would rather commit hara kiri than be thought of as someone like Joseph Muscat.]

      • Leonard says:

        Loser attitude? – read the comments in timesofmalta.com anyday.

      • kev says:

        Baxxter has a point. Some of the most honourable, dignified and knowledgeable people could be classified as ‘losers’.

        [Daphne – ‘Loser’ is about attitude, not achievement. We all have different levels of achievement and different aspirations, but people can be divided into roughly three groups: losers, go-getters and those who just aren’t bothered. You will find all three types in every socio-economic group and all levels of wealth. In fact, some of the biggest losers I knew growing up had pots of money. The losers are the ones whining and feeling hard-done-by, and you’ll find them everywhere and in all occupations. On the other hand, one of the most appealing go-getters I know is a hotel concierge.]

        But then again, success depends on one’s initial aims. Someone whose dream is to become a chief janitor can claim success if he retires as a storekeeper, whereas one who had aimed at owning his own business would be a total loser if he retires as the general manager of an enterprise he doesn’t own.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Let’s get real here, and give some examples. I think Kevin is a smug twat, and I’d rather commit hara kiri than spend five minutes in his company. But I envy his position, power, money and career potential. In this case, I have both the attitude AND the profile of a loser. It doesn’t mean I’d want to give even more power to Kevin (by electing him, for example).

        I think you might be confusing real dissatisfaction with false gripes, Daphne. Gripes are a part of Maltese political sales spiel (“il-gvern qed jifnina, il-power station qed toqtolna, etc etc”). But they’re just conversation fillers. People don’t feel dissatisfied.

        There was a survey in France a few months ago. Now France is the protest nation par excellence. It turned out that a full 75% or so of French people are happy, and that – get this – “they’re living their dream.” I suspect Malta might be the same. A happy nation of pretense dissatisfaction, with maybe a handful of losers.

      • kev says:

        Baxxter, I can assure you I am not here on a career trip. Had I sought an EU career I would have enrolled as a perpetual fonctionaire and moved on to the masturbating pastures of the Commission at Berlaymont (not that such pastures don’t exist in the people’s congress, mind you, but at Berlaymont there are juicier opportunities for a better retirement).

        Not only have I not bothered with the career ladder, I am seeking the best opportunity to return to Malta. I’ll let you know when I’m back for good. I wouldn’t want your hara kiri on my conscience.

  13. Leonard says:

    So Jurgen gets the devil’s horns. That’s not very complementary is it?

  14. Dinner, lunch and supper says:

    Dinner is the evening meal when it is the biggest meal of the day, therefore the meal eaten at midday would be lunch; the lighter meal. However for those people who eat their largest meal at midday – it would be called dinner, with the evening meal called supper.

    [Daphne – The 1pm or 2pm meal is always lunch and the 8.30pm or 9pm meal is always dinner, except when it’s light and taken even later, and then it’s supper – except when you’re mittilkless, and then lunch, whatever size it is and generally eaten at noon, is dinner.]

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      The faux-upperclass in Malta refer to dinner (evening) as supper.

      [Daphne – That makes me faux-upper class, then. I always cringe when I hear the word ‘dinner’ for anything other than formal occasions possibly involving a head of state.]

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Hmm. OK, the difference between dinner and supper is the size of the meal but you get the drift and of course I’m lower class so I didn’t mean to slag off anyone. These details shouldn’t divert us from the main topic: the impending MLP government of 2013.

    It cannot be possible that we are building Smart City to fill it with six thousand semiliterate freaks working in IT.

    This clown must be really exceptional. He is a candidate for the chair of the council for higher education post 2013.

    The three stages of marriage:

    tri-weekly
    try weekly
    try weakly

  19. Rover says:

    Having developed into Labour’s answer to Bill Gates, Jurgen Cachia has now taken to spending time in Bulgaria where he indulges in the local night scene. How impressive is that. The lifestyle of a support engineer is truly amazing.

    • tat TWO NEWS says:

      ..u l-ahjar wahda, dan kollu bis-sahha tas-shubija fl-Unjoni Ewropea. Kieku ghaddiet kif rieduwa Alfred Sant u dak il-Joseph Muscat li ghandhom, u Jurgen u min huwa bhalu, kien Jurgen jaghmila tat-tycoon u jitlaqa ghal-Bulgaria fuq il-business kull 6 weaks; u kien jitfa dirajgh madwar xi zewg Bulgarizi.

    Tim Ripard, although you are plagiarizing you have made my evening. Thanks.

  21. Gahan says:

    Take a closer look at this picture,look at the RIGHT hand of the blonde behind the head of our subject – she’s making the ‘corna’ sign.

    The devil is in the detail. I wouldn’t have placed this picture on Facebook: the girl is obviously mocking this short, fat guy with some company money to spend in a side-street watering hole.

  22. Grezz says:

    Is he related to Denis Catania? The shape is remarkably similar.

  23. lino says:

    His spelling is horrible. I would not want him to get the sack,
    but paying him weakly instead of monthly will sure make him learn to spell.

    I think Jurgen Cachia deserves to be totally ignored.

    Who else is the Labour Party going to recruit within its fold? An orangutan? They just cannot fathom what damage they’re doing to themselves.

  27. John Joseph Cefai says:

    With regards to the subject of meritocracy vs seniority in Malta, I think we should distinguish between the public sector and the private sector.

    While the seniority mentality is still entrenched (psychologically and legally) within the public sector (barring exceptions), in the private sector, as in any other economic model similar to Malta’s, meritocracy is certainly the rule.

    I think that the ‘societal infrastructure’ does allow you to move on ‘without support from above’ (as it does to any enterprising individual in nearly any economic model in the world).

    I quote from personal experience, wherein following the end of my formal studies, I joined the civil service, resigned in 1997 to join a private company as a manager, wherein I eventually bought the same company where I was employed, in 2000.

    And during all this there was certainly no ‘support from above’ (except for maybe the supra-natural, but this I cannot prove). My point is that individuals with no inherited wealth or connections can make it (even if modestly, as in my case) in the private sector.

    On the other hand, I would like to say that to invest your resources in the private sector in Malta is not exactly like a walk in the park, but even so, in truth, a lot of people have generated considerable wealth for themselves and for others in Malta over these last two to three decades.

    Notwithstanding this, my wish still remains that one day the Maltese civil service and political class will rid themselves of the mediocre mentality of perpetuating red-tape and bureaucracy which eventually hinders private initiative which in the end serves to generate and distribute wealth.
