It was probably faster to travel on one of those this morning, than sitting in crawling traffic.

I have the feeling that traffic at about 8am today was (much?) less than usual.

Thank God we made sacrifices. Gonzi is dismantling Fenech Adami’s work (subsidies). A meagre one euro sixteen cents pay rise. Utility prices are no more things of the Budget, and Air Malta has to face the music”.

We seem to know what’s in Tonio’s bag, and we are not afraid.

We like surprises, and the weather gave us a surprise and something to talk about. Coffins floating, two-hour drive to work, water jets out of the new tarmaced roads, floating cars….

But I am sure this is just an illusion.

To be fair, I think this must be a big disappointment for Labour. They would have liked their new emblem to be more topical than the budget today.
