You know, it’s just occurred to me how lucky the Labour marmalja are (NB this is not a statement that all people who vote Labour are a marmalja) that I moved to Bidnija in my 20s.
The Witch of Bidnija (or the wich of Bahrija) has a nice, medieval ring to it.
Now imagine if I had carried on living at my old address:
The Witch of Tower Road
The Witch of Sliema
It doesn’t quite cut it.

I’m sure they would have come up with something suitable as you are the only thorn left in their sides. All the rest have thrown in the towel and seem resigned to being governed by a bunch of morons with voters to match.
Milner street
[Daphne – My last address, Edward, was Tower Road. I lived there for six years after Milner Street.]
And you must have SO much more space for that cauldron and running around chanting spells! Can’t see that happening on Tower Road. U ghidilhom ihalluna.
True – had you had read The Witch of Blackbird Pond as a child?
oops extra ‘had’ kindly remove. thanks.
Daphne, juzaw l-espressjoni biex forsi jesprimu hdura u mibgheda, imma fl-istess hin, jifqghuna bid-dahk.
Dalwaqt jaghmluk il-wicc ta’ Fomm-ir-Rih, u wara, il-wicc tal-Gnejna.
Pero huwa car li ghadhom fil-medju evu. U issa qed nghid ghal-liberta tal-espressjoni u tal-idejat.
Nghiduha kif inhi, jekk ma jispjegalhomx il-profeta Joseph (jew forsi Mintoff minn fuq is-sodda), min se jispjegalhom? Pero flok ma jispjegalhom, qed ikompli ibellghalhom il-hmerijiet, bhal tal-living wage.
Isma, anke tal-marmalja huma wiccis – wicc tost u wicchom u sorom listess.
Ma nafx ghaliex Kev joqghod jinkwieta fuq l-Ewropa tat-tielet millenju meta ghad hawn min ghadu jghix fl-Ewropa tal-ewwel millenju.
Nahseb is-Sahhara ta’ Wied Ghafrid would be much more appropriate in your case. :P
Perfect! You’ve accepted my advice. Now these people actually have an image that scares the living hell out of them….lol…I would go for Bahrija. It has a nice ring to it.
Il-hdura li ghad ghandhom f’qalbhom il-Mintoffjani hija tal-biza. L-ewwel ghamluh alla falz, wara ghajruh traditur ta’ Malta u issa regghu qed iqimuh.
U jmorru l-knisja dawn imma ghalihom il-knisja tigi wara Mintoff. Ghax meta l-famuz KMB ordnalhom ikissru l-Kurja u jahbtu ghall-Arcisqof huma kienu l-imgieghnen li obdewh.
Ghax ghalihom Mintoff huwa Alla ta’ Malta. Meta hlief hsara lill-Malta m’ghamilx. U jistghu mhux jigdbu fuq l-istorja ta’ Malta ghax il-fatti ghadna nghixuhom sal-gurnata mqaddsa tal-lum.
Issa ghandna sahhara gdida: dik ta’ Burmarrad. Dan kollu skond Inspector Gadget.
Immaturita! Flok jiggieldu b’argument sod jiggieldu b’aggettivi. Darba fil-parlament ukoll issemma aggettiv iehor, Plasmon Baby. Injuranza grassa!
Mintoff kien imdawwar b’nies injuranti. M’hemmx kliem iehor u jien ma nafx kif accetthom madwaru. Nahseb li ghax veru kien jaqbillu.
Meta l-Laburisti bdew joffendu lil George Borg Olivier b’affarijiet familjari waqt meeting, jinaghd li Mintoff waqqafhom u canfarhom. (almenu hekk nismaghhom jghidu).
[Daphne – Claire, Mintoff waqqafhom u canfarhom ghax hu kellu tahwid daqs Borg Olivier – imma almenu Borg Oliver meta ghazel mistress ghazel wahda li ma tigix minnhu, u ma marx mal-mara ta’ huh kif ghamel Mintoff. Mintoff u Borg Olivier kellhom ‘tacit agreement’ biex ma jattakkawx lil xulxin bil-hajja privata xokkanti li kellhom it-tnejn. Id-differenza kienet li l-gwaj u t-tahwid ta’ Borg Olivier kien fil-berah u l-apert u ta’ Mintoff, is-soltu storja, kien mohbi. Imma jien kont noqghod kantuniera l-boghod minn ta’ Borg Oliver meta kont tifla u niftakar sew li meta kien hemm xi kontroversja jew xi elezzjoni, kienu jigu b’xi barri ha jghidulu kornut. Ghax fil-mentalita miskina tar-rahal, jekk hu kien jaqliba lill-mara, dak normali ghax macho, imma jekk hi marret ma’ haddiehor, dak le hej.]
Bulculuvier, as he was affectionately known, was quite a friendly type – especially with smiling waitresses, for whom he had a soft spot.
From the outside I see things get very personal, very quickly. When all of us are trying to exist on this rock in the middle of nowhere, it’s hard to see how it could be otherwise.
Taking everything into consideration, it could be a lot worse. A most raw form of human nature.
I know you must be having fun playing with the monsters you create. Take care.
Don’t be so patronising, interested bystander. Dictators – what you call monsters – are created and allowed to prosper because there are people like you who see things going wrong but remain firmly glued to the fence.

Iehor minghalih li min ma jahmilx lil Mintoff huwa Nazzjonalist inkallit.
@ interested bystander
Couldn’t have said it better.

Tista’ jekk joghgbok tittraduci dal-messagg ghall-Malti?
This guy needs to be traced. He’s gone off his antipsychotics.
Paul Borg mid-dehra qed jaghmel mill-ahjar biex jidhol fil-Guinness Book of Records ghal itwal sentenza maghmula minn ghazla zghira ta vokabularju, u bla ebda forma ta ‘punctuation’.
Sa issa pogga eluf ta kliem fuq din is-site, izda ghadu ma qal xejn.
