Thanks, but no thanks – sorry, not interested – don't call me; I'll call you – I have a subsequent engagement – Super One? Yes, that's right, I'm going to bust my gut for Super One

And dead on cue, Mr Bundy’s email has arrived.
Sinjura Caruana Galizia,
Nhar il-gimgha 28ta’ Jannar il-programm “Affari Taghna” se jiddiskuti il-Blogs.
Ghaldaqstant qieghed nistiednek sabiex tkun parti mil panel ghal diskussjoni dwar dan is-suggett.
Tajjeb ninfurmak li minkejja li ghaddiet hafna korrispondenza bejnietna fuq il-blog tieghek, dan il-program
Mhux ser jiddiskuti dan.
Ikun ta’ pjacir ghalija jekk inti taccetta.
Grazzi hafna
John Bundy

“tkun parti mil panel” … is the panel gonna be a mile long?
I notice that John Bundy now has learned how to spell “Blogs”.
How about guessing Bundy’s panel? I think he will have Saviour Balzan and Nikita Alamango, and a feeling that there will also be Evarist Bartolo.
Pamela Hansen, Marie Benoit, that Josanne tal-Independent whose name escapes me, and a couple of other like-minded people.
U xi Jacques Zammit, mifni bl-ghejra.
Josephine takes the weekly prize for Spot-Onness.
“Tajjeb ninfurmak li minkejja li ghaddiet hafna korrispondenza bejnietna fuq il-blog tieghek, dan il-program mhux ser jiddiskuti dan.”
U zgur, daqs kemm waqa ghan-n**k.
And you see how polite he is this time: “Sinjura Caruana Galizia.” No “hamalla”, “tal-pepe”, “mandra”, “dear”, “babe”, “ipokrita”, “bla sens u bla skrupli”…
Even though he promises not to discuss his exchange of emails, I am expecting him to make some references to the “half a dozen cowards” and “half a dozen chickens.”
U le! Il-veru wiccu u x’imkien iehor xorta!
Yesterday went to his programme on migration. The way it was handled, ridiculing pro-human rights comments and calling asylum seekers “illegal” was disgusting.
At least I won a blow-drier or whatever it is.
I agree with you not attending.
Robert,
Since when is One TV giving away blow-driers? They say so much about the high price of electricity! Had I won it, apart from being useless for me because I am bald, it consumes a lot of electricity.
Normally I use the wind energy to dry the few hairs I am left with.
My suggestion to One TV is to give vouchers redeemable against fuel or gas. That will help, hux?
It is actually an “Easydry”; I don’t really know what the heck it is.
Robert, according to PL and GWU our pockets are “Easydry”.
Actually it was one of the most balanced and interesting discussion programmes on the subject. I pity your prejudice.
What you call “prejudice” is actually knowledge on the issue. People like for example Dr Anna Mallia were making false allegations such as translators lying to the commission.
He also kept calling people who are here completely LEGITIMATELY (I’m talking law not politics here) as illegal.
I like your blog sir. keep it up
He has bad advisors. Is he for real? Doesn’t he know when to call it quits?
This is Labour and Super One – what do you expect? I mean, really – what do you expect? The bar is so low that we are shocked when they get it right.
That is exactly the point, Hot Mama. A political party TV station does not have advisors – it has orders and directions from the party leadership.
And he still cannot wirte in Maltese.
‘…dan il programm Mhux se jiddiskuti dan.’
Now that’s a semantically challenging phrase.
Has he invited Consuelo to be part of his panel? I wonder if she would accept.
No, she only accepts invitations from, say, Diamonds International to parade on a catwalk and model their jewellery. Or from Marie Benoit to feature in First magazine’s My Favourite Room, in a pink track-suit, telling us how she likes riding (ahem) but always makes sure to rush home to cook a hot meal for her husband.
Are we half-a-dozen chickens invited?
No, we’re not because we are not brainless chickens like Kurt Farrugia.
… and most of us use pseudonyms, preferring to preserve anonymity.
Kurt Farrugia is not a brainless chicken. He is a poison dwarf.
Mela issa “sinjura Caruana Galizia”, ja faccol?
Int suppost salesman tajjeb, Johnnie.
Shouldn’t that be ‘mill-panel’?
[Daphne – As far as I know, but I might be wrong, it’s mil-panel, because it’s the contracted form of ‘minn il-panel’, so there’s just one ‘l’ and you can’t bring another one in out of nowhere.]
It should be mill-panel – I remember the rule that if the word takes “tal-” and not “ta” then it should have two “L” otherwise one and no “-”
But this was the rule in my time (around 40 years ago) – so I do not know if it still exists. I think there have been several revisions since then as every incoming expert has to reinvent the wheel.
If this program includes viewers’ phone calls or SMSes (at 0.47c each) I am sure there will be quite some venom doing the rounds.
47 cents for an SMS to Bundy when they complain about four cents on the price of milk?
True, but the party and John Bundy have to make both ends meet.
Trying very hard to use Daphne for his purposes. I am sure Daphne can seed through this. He could at least let her know who the others on the panel are going to be.
I would be more scared of the audience. It could easily turn into a mob.
You can see how they are setting this up to descredit this blog. “Stidinnha lil DCG biex tippartecipa…..min x’ix qed tibza?” Open flood gates! It will be fun to watch the expert commentators.
Exactly what is the point of discrediting Daphne with a Super One audience? Trust Labour to keep its eyes off the ball.
All those who know Daphne know for sure li “ma tibzax”. I am sure Daphne judges the situation properly before taking a decision. I am sure she will not be one to boost Bundy’s audiences.
[Daphne – It’s actually a lot simpler than that. I don’t collaborate or consort with those who mean me harm, full stop.]
What was Bundy thinking when he sent this? Did he honestly think that Daphne would do a ‘John Dalli’ and go?
All Bundy had in mind was a record TV viewing public when he invited Daphne. That’s all he cares about.
On the 22nd January you posted that you wiil simply press delete if invited……. ooopppsss!! You posted the invitation. Trid tajjar li haddiehor injorant int?? Mind your step, John Dalli is haunting you.
[Daphne – I did press delete. As for John Dalli haunting me, he’ll have to get in line.]
Kemm sar jagixxi u jitkellem baxx, Bundy, kemm ilu li mar fuq Super 1. Ara sewwa jghidu li jekk taghmila ma zopp, zopp bhalu issir.
