Help! I've been kidnapped by James Tyrrell.
Forgive me for asking the question, but are they trying to raise funds by providing a service to frustrated Gozitans and James Tyrrell?
From The Times, this morning:
The deer was stolen along with four mounting goats and a parrot in the second such break-in in three years at the Marsascala park, which uses the animals for therapy with disabled children.

They’re kidding f***ing right?
You’re a tad inconsistent, Daphne, if you don’t me telling you.
A few posts back you get your knickers in a twist because someone wrote that an Arab was stabbed, now you’re cracking jokes *ahem* about GOZITANS and goats. Whatever happened to the Universal Pervert?
[Daphne – Mocking Gozitans is the equivalent of the English mocking the Irish – or the Scots.]
Actually the English take great pleasure mocking the Welsh.
Maltese mounting goats?
Hilarious! I suggest we change the name, Gozo, to ‘Brokeback Mounting’.
Are you trying to be funny? Didn’t work.
You from Gozo, Leonard?
We can call gozo “Il-gzira tat-three mountings.” Sounds cooler than “ecogozo.”
Gotta Go to Gozo…
Now I see what inspired the word ‘shag’
Bad proof-reading.
Of course mounting goats exist…see this picture.

Must be Gozo goats–both male.
In Malta (or Gozo), what’s a mountain? It seems, however, from the adult writer-proofreader’s common experience, they may understand what is a “mounting” goat. Or, maybe, simply the English language is disappearing among those who should be using it with more than a “below-basic” level.
On a more serious level is the crime perpetrated by the thieves against the children who benefit from the therapeutic interaction with the missing animals, including the one-month-old baby deer. These “persons” are the real animals with their crimes against nature and against the human beings who benefit from nature.
Or it is a teenage prank by idiots who haven’t yet learned to think, or to respect all people, let alone animals, with the dignity they deserve.
@ Daphne
Is that so?
Nothing to do with any of this but someone didn’t pay the bill!

It’s the mating season, that’s why they’re mounting.
Just when I thought arcadian fantasies died with baroque opera …
Damn it, you’re cultivated.
“Mocking Gozitans is the equivalent of the English mocking the Irish”
In that it is socially acceptable while mocking non-Westerners is not.
It’s tal-hbiberija Daphne…. not il- :)
Geez, that sentence is one long, disgusting mishap! Perhaps reading your blogs more often might start instilling some correct sentence structure in him.
Of course there are moments when “mounting goats” is exactly what they are…
Jaqaw tat-Times qed jahsbuna xi qatta “from behind the mountings”?
She’ll be coming round the mounting when she comes,
When she comes!
Looks like the English Speaking Union have a job on their hands in Malta!
