					<description><![CDATA[Here are two from the Times:

&quot;The new power station would be creating a tonne of heavy fuel oil sludge daily which the plant would be unable to fire from its machine pistons&quot;
Fire from its machine pistons?  What the heck is that supposed to mean?  I don&#039;t know if  Leo Brincat that came up with that gem or the Times mistranslated him.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110205/local/new-power-station-waste-of-serious-concern-opposition


Then later the government replied by stating that:
&quot;the opposition insisted on making spokes in the wheels and alarming the people.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[Two other gems from today&#039;s edition of the Times:

&quot;The police believe an argument broke out between the Bulgarian man and a Maltese national, suspected to be a driver, who hit the man and drove away.&quot;

What is exactly the point of telling us he is suspected to be a driver, it is like saying it is suspected he was a human being.

&quot;Dar Malta breached Belgian laws – newspaper report&quot;

As far as I know you break laws or rules and you breach conditions or agreements.  One commits a breach OF a law, if anything.]]></description>

Similar to that, on timesofmalta.com, there was recently a collision between an &#039;open Corsa&#039; and some other car. The article has since been corrected to &#039;Opel Corsa&#039;.

On the printed edition it was referred to as a Toyota Corsa - that, I had never heard of and assumed must be a mistake, but I was quite surprised to find out that such a thing does actually exist.]]></description>
