Would you buy a used car from this man?
Aw ras! Jien se nmexxi l-pajjiz, ta. Tal-genn, man, ustja. Tal-beraq.
The Labour Party’s new website, www.therealbudget.com, which has been set up to do the job that www.maltastar.com is supposed to do but isn’t, has just given us a totally chav image of the future prime minister.
It’s Vinny B straight out of the South Park episode, It’s a Jersey Thing. Total hamallagni. All he needs is a souped-up car and to swing into a Paceville bar shouting ‘Aw, ras! Rajta dik, ustja, x’daqqa fiha, man. Gibli whisky coke hi.’
New middle class? More like a completely new class of person called The Chavs. And now we’re going to have a chav prime minister, too.
And guess what file-name the Labour Party used to save this excruciating image? Place your cursor on it and you’ll see: LEADER12.
My God, there are another 11? Perhaps those are the ones in which Photoshop hasn’t been used to colour the scalp in between those strange-looking sticky-up spikes. Or to paint in a dark and wicked five o’clock shadow on somebody so testosterone-free that he has never, ever been seen with anything more than a bit of blond bum-fluff carefully nurtured round his lips.
When I think about it, it’s actually quite funny. Up next: cowboy boots, low-riding Diesel jeans and some Rayban aviators. Too bad about the mumsy wife with the rosary beads wrapped round her wrists. Bit of an image-dampener there.

So tal-beraq is now used in colloquial fashion … and to mean what?
I came across it a couple of days ago when a refuse truck driver called me names and something tal-beraq. I could not figure out what he meant, not that I cared …

Damn shame they’re too thick to see the inherent risks in posting that picture with its ‘filled-in’ scalp next to a video of the real thing with full-on male pattern baldness.
According to Alexa this blog ranks at 147 in Malta whilst and “therealbudget” ranks at 2945.
Would you consider helping them improve their ranking, more than you already do?
Jack Coke mhux Whisky Coke – you’re out of touch……
[Daphne – Oh, is all whisky called Jack now, like all ballpoint pens are called Biros and all vacuum-cleaners Hoovers?]
Jack is DEFINITELY NOT whisky !! Its what the younger generation CONSIDER to be whisky but its a WHISKEY, that is an American ‘whisky’. Sweeter and more similar to American Bourbon, and quite far from the real Scotch. Also, the proper (Scotch) whisky should never ever be mixed with cola or lemonade! Maybe with soda but never with coke ! PER LA PRECISIONE !!
That was the whole point. The only whiskey that a chav knows is “Jack”. Bhall-“Hennikin” (rhymes with “pannikin”).
But these are parvenu chavs. They’ve moved up in the world. They probably drink Gavi di Gavi or some such, out of an oversized wine glass. Which they hold like I would hold my cognac (NOT brandy).
[Daphne – You’re going to bite me for this, but I’ve noticed that it’s the parvenus who hold their wine-glasses by the stem between their thumb and forefinger. The rest of us wrap our right hand gently round the bowl. Let’s put it this way, have you ever tried standing around having a conversation at a party while holding a wine-glass by the stem. The people who do this look like right d**ks.]
That’s why I don’t drink wine at parties. Because you can’t keep a perfect hold on the glass for more than a few seconds. But these are mere details beside the more important point of the relationship between the drinker and the drink.
The parvenus, being invariably rich, treat their drink with glacial disdain. The drink is there to serve them. Poor people like me who’ve never risen above their squalor will respect their drink. It is very often their only companion, and their only source of inspiration. And they realise the value of every ounce of the precious fluid. Above all, they will never venture to order a drink whose name they can’t pronounce.
Hang on a minute Daphne. I am not exactly a wine connoisseur but I thought the whole idea of holding a glass of white wine by the stem is not to warm it. (it’s the pinkie pointing to the North star that’s the killer).
On the other hand your point is very valid with a glass of nice red wine, although these days I’ve seen some red wine actually been cooled down to a specific temperature.
Give me a good beer anytime, especially with Indian.
[Daphne – It doesn’t stay in the glass long enough to get warm. You’re only supposed to have one-and-a-half inches of wine in there anyway, precisely so it doesn’t get warm.]
True. Cannot stand people who should know better pouring it in, a gallon at a time. Mind you they’re the ones who guzzle rather than sip, so there’s no chance of the wine cooling off either :)
Thank you Frank. Thou shalt not take the name of whisky in vain.
This is MY eleventh commandment. You have been warned.
Parvenus tend to finish up as “poseurs” and the wine at parties tends to be mediocre, to say the least, So a plastic cup for these people will function just as well as a wine goblet.
Just making the point that chavs ask for Jack Coke…..not whisky coke…..
[Daphne – Oh right. You mean there are non-chavs over the age of 21 who ask for whisky coke?]
Whisky coke? Sacrilegious.
He’s on TVM AGAIN: repeat of press conference.
The other 11 “leaders” are the same image, with different messages.

Would you know if the “realbudget” provides the function to calculate current savings compared to when highest tax band was at 65%?
You can hold a wine glass in any way you want. You can even put your foot in it if you so please.
Just do not muck around with whisky. That is not allowed.
I’m digging that logo of theirs. Looks like something made for a museum cafe.
