Hello there, Purdie. Wrong thread, of course, but no one is perfect.

Never worry about being chucked out by Daphne. Flatterers are very highly regarded here.

Kev, was going to ask Daphne if I could take my beer with me when we got chucked out of her bar. However a CC wil do just fine, thank you. Will offer you a couple of Duvel when next in Brussels.

I, surprisingly, agree on your politico/divorce comment.

Is that the author of Queer Mediterranean Memories?
If yes, just wanted to be sure that by “bangs” he really meant the festa fireworks. The only better ones may be in Gozo. Not that the Bishop of Gozo would necessarily be happy to know that.

At least Ms Stanton has not replaced the Union Jack with the Rainbow Flag, as British ambassadors did in Poland and Latvia.

Political cowards is what comes to mind, Daphne. They’re waiting until the polls tell them it’s politically expedient to hop on the divorce bandwagon. Their religious belief is hardly the issue… well, except maybe for Tonio ‘Abbati’ Borg.

But Joseph Muscat’s would-have-been divorce bill, although highly insufficient, helped stir the pot somewhat. So let’s give both Joseph and JPO a small round of applause for their efforts.

Now may I have a double gin and tonic, please? And a Canadian Club for Purdie – with plenty of ice.

And while Kev reads about the Bilderbergers, someone else dines out on hamburgers…

Oh, you’re such a funny boy, Purdie! And subtle too. Tickle me, please.

[Daphne – Will you and Harry take this outside, please? I’m throwing you out of the bar. And Kevin, please stick to the subject next time. What are your views on PN and MLP approach to divorce legislation?]

Ehh, ha ghalieh hej, Joseph A Borg… Yes, Disney all along and some Greek machinations too. And yet, I’m such a St Thomas you wouldn’t believe it yourself.
