There's an animal lover at Super One
Here’s the bio for Pierre Borg, assistant manager at Super One radio, taken straight and unexpurgated from the Super One website.
He says he’s an animal lover – his favourite animal is……. the Pink Panther.
PIERRE BORG
In 1991, Pierre started off with ONE Productions as a disc jockey on Super 1 Radio in its very beginning.
Before that, Pierre used to work as a sales person in a furniture construction business and then as a clerical officer in a construction company.
In 1994, he took over Saturday afternoon with the Magazine and Sports show then moved to television with Qawsalla in 1995 and ‘U Mela Le’ in 1996.
Most of Pierre’s occupancy at ONE was focused on Sales & Marketing as he occupied the position of assistant manager.
In the last few months of 2009 Pierre looked forward to his present post of assistant manager of ONE Radio. His day at work covers all the adverts related to ONE radio and some also pertaining to ONE as teleshopping.
Pierre’s passion for motor sports has led him to produce and present the award-winning ON d Road TV programme reviewing the motor sport industry and most of the breath-taking machines introduced on the local market.
Pierre together with his delightful partner Nevise expressed another side of Pierre’s character being an animal lover with the most followed Pink Panther. As a radio DJ and presenter of Reggae Line, Jamaica is without surprise his favourite holiday destination.

His wife, Nevise, presents “Pink Panther”, a TV program on One.

…and what a stupid name it is. Almost as stupid as Byon
It is said that Super One is one big family and in every sense of the word. The personnel at the station are all related. Employees are either married to each other or relatives.
There were times when the surname Vella Haber dominated the station. Father, daughter and son.
Amazing CV. Fits right in with the rest of the dimwits.
Looks like Manuel Cuschieri – even his rise to stardom.
X’sar minnu?
His favourite car … ghax ikonomikel

“Breath-taking” indeed.
On a good note… thanks to his programme(s), he collected funds for stray animals, which he then distributed to animal sanctuaries.
Which animal sanctuaries may I ask?
a little faith would help
“Pierre together with his delightful partner Nevise expressed another side of Pierre’s character being an animal lover with the most followed Pink Panther. ”
That doesn’t mean he’s stupid enough to believe that the pink panther exists. It means that he follows/produces/likes his wife’s TV program named “Pink Panther”.
I am without surprise
What a bunch of numbskulls.
The writing is terrible.
Another dwarf, five foot nothing and that includes his shoes. I would dearly love to see Super One’s chairs and desks. They must be custom-made.
Perhaps they employ small people because the chairs and desks are too small.
Don’t they also employ elves ?
Judging but what they write on Facebook and other social forums, I am not at all surprised (!) that they cannot make out why Consuelo Scerri Herrera is in the wrong.
Their ideas are so muddled, they cannot unravel the wefts of an intricate argument.
Her programme at least helped to combat this

Not very effective then, was it?
I have just watched Joseph Muscat on Super One, going round the stands at Freshers’ Week at the university. There wasn’t one instance where his face showed a modicum of interest in the person talking to him. He had this glazed look with no reaction and he came across as though he would rather be anywhere but there. I’ve noticed that sort of body language many other times he’s been ‘doing his duty’ – so sad. He seems just as insensitive as his predecessor.
Of course, politics is all about staged corny smiles, interest-showing face expressions and hand shakes. No wonder you’re, presumably, a gonzi supporter and an Alfred Sant hater.
[Daphne – Funny how you people always use lower case for gonzi but upper case for Sant and Muscat.]
The lower case was an inadvertent typo for which I ask you to accept my apologies. Once we’re at it, I am ready to accept your apologies for your frequent rude and stereotypical use of the term “you people” when referring to those with opposing opinions. Fire away, Daph!
[Daphne – It’s neither rude nor stereotypical (I think you mean ‘stereotyping’ there). If there were any original thinking among the Labour-supporting comments that reach this blog, I wouldn’t have grounds to say ‘you people’. But there is no original thinking, because you all sound the same. Some of you can spell and others can’t – that’s the only difference.]
“Delightful partner?” Pardon my rotten English, but “partner” in my understanding of the language refers to a shack-up honey and not to a legally wedded wife. Or are the Laburisti trying to show how modern they are by equalling a partner with a wife?
@Katrin
A partner is just that …. a partner. She doesn’t have to be a shack-up honey or a legally wedded wife (can it be illegal anyway?!).
I know a few shack-up honeys who are also ‘legally wedded wives’. Should we maybe call them illegal shack-up honeys?
[Daphne – The point made earlier, that wives should not be called partners but wives, was a valid one. I had noticed, too, how some ridiculous people insist on referring to their wives as ‘my partner’, maybe because they don’t want to seem out of the loop as the only man around without a girlfriend. I never see wives referring to their husband as ‘my partner’. With women, it’s always ‘my husband’.]
In my opinion, the word ‘partner’ is misused by the Maltese. It should be qualified with a description before it. Otherwise, it is too vague. For example it could be a ‘business partner’ or a partner in other matters (sports might come to mind). It should not be automatically understood to mean as a cohabiting couple, because it is not correct and precise enough.
@ Daphne
My use of the adjective ‘stereotypical’ was intentional and grammatically correct, if that is what you are questioning.
Please can somebody tell me what word can be used?
I am 40 and my man (that is what I call him) is 54. I refuse to call him my boyfriend (I’m not a girl and he is not a boy). If I call him my partner, people can think we are business partners.
In German there is a word called life partner, which means that people are not married but intend to live with each other for ever. There is no such word in English and in Maltese its worse, is-sieheb tieghi).
In a country where there is no divorce and maybe if there is we might not choose to get married, what is the word that can be used and understood? I am talking about people that can use English properly and here I am not talking about people from mltastar. By the way “my man” also gives me blank stares.
[Daphne – The word you’re looking for is ‘companion’. To illustrate the point, Camilla Parker Bowles was the Prince of Wales’ mistress, then his companion, and now his wife. Only New Labour-type yuppie chavs say ‘partner’, and I don’t mean in Malta. ]
Come on Daphne, give this poor bloke a breather. I do agree that his media manipulation is rather sloppy; However, perfectionists are hard to find in our world, and are found to be somewhat boring.
Do bear in mind that this chap has a just cause at heart.
