&quot;What’s wrong with being rich and defending the working class?&quot;

It&#039;s the same wrong with having a large salary and pointing at deficiencies in our economy.
That&#039;s a boomerang!

Dr Muscat was posing as the son of a salesman: &quot;call me Joseph, I&#039;m one of you&quot;. Then he&#039;s exposed for what he really is: born with a silver spoon in the mouth, mhux kif ried jipprogetta ruhu fuq il-palk meta qalilna inhobbu lil DIN.

Ara Gorg Abela veru kien tifel ta&#039; haddiem tax-xatt (Alla jahfirlu), veru li ivvota favur l-Ewropa u s&#039;issa ma nistax nifhem kif il-Laburisti ma&#039; tellghux lilu.

Ma&#039; nafx li Gonzi qattx ipposa ta&#039; xi fqir - narah li gemma bhal kullhadd. Ma setax ikollu is-silverspoon ta&#039; figlio unico.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do they sell fakes like it on the Monti stalls?  I have one which is up to my requirements; it sets its time  automatically through some radio signal to the nearest second. Enough is as good as a feast.

I&#039;m always punctual even without a watch. Punctuality means respect towards other people.

Seeing this watch on Joseph&#039;s wrist reminds me of a rich illiterate guy who bought a brand new Jaguar but doesn&#039;t know what its features are let alone how to use them.

Kevin (mhux ta&#039; Sharon), one thing&#039;s for sure; if he can afford a 1,000 euro watch, or someone gave it to him, we have another John Attard Montalto: a rich person defending the working class.]]></description>

Daphne,

Lets be honest and frank, for sure you must realise a hint of envy in their tone.....they try to hide it but they can&#039;t.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I think (or rather, I know) that most of the people commenting here can more than afford to buy a TAG watch. So no, I don&#039;t.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My late dad used to make it a point of reminding me regularly that envy is the the worst characteristic  of the Maltese people.

If we live in a villa, he used to tell us to put a house number and not a house name in our address. If we got a new car, he used to say that we should park it two blocks from destination. And so on.

Look at your comments...........you simply cannot accept that a person wears a TAG! albeit not an expensive model.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I don&#039;t think anyone is actually jealous of the watch, Kevin. It&#039;s the vulgarity that is at issue here.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Troy,

Can you share with us how many Rolex watches you may own before you dismiss that watch in picture is not a TAG?]]></description>
