That wasn’t spa commenting. He merely copied someone else’s comment from timesofmalta.com. Re-read his post and you’ll see for yourself.

Don’t get me started on that nasty piece of business….

“A sedentary lifestyle” is no excuse. No senior politician and aspiring prime minister, especially one from a privileged background such as his, should be overweight. Our parliamentary line-up is a parade of bellies, jowls and excess fat.

He’ll only make us look (even more) ridiculous when he meets other EU leaders. I know we top the charts in childhood obesity, but why does our future prime minister have to emulate our bell curve?

And gym? What gym? Someone with his tendency to pudginess needs to lose fat, not gain muscle. A protein and vegetable diet (no steak, no alcohol, no Maltese platters or hamburgers or pasta) and 5km run every day, minimum. In six months he should see some positive results.

You can tell a man’s worth by his physique. David Cameron, with the same tendency to pudginess (albeit with the advantage of height) does everything possible ot keep his weight under control.

Sarkozy, short and stocky, takes regular runs – with his prime minister. Medvedev was positively fat before the elections. He forced himself to run to hours a day and is now svelte, if still short, and he is respected for it.

You really got guts! Your mention is the only one I came across which is supporting your saviour’s ‘vision’ regarding the troubles happening nearby. Don’t forget to vote for Joseph come election day, and please make sure you write down the exact preferences on the ballot paper. And screech and wave the new emblem flag and an EU one as well when Joseph appears in the balcony. He deserves you.

As to Daphne’s article what can I comment? That article will be a future reference for some idiots and disgrunted nitwits.

The weight gain must be a result of all the business lunches he is having organised by the like of Sandro Chetcuti.

US fashion designer Kenneth Cole was beaten by Joseph in his bid to turn the North African situation into a marketing opportunity. At least he’s quoted as being remorseful at what he’s done whereas Joseph still thinks his was a brainwave that the PN is shooting down because they didn’t think of it first.

The worst thing is not that he is not a statesman, but that those clamouring for change are not interested in having one either.

I guess Winston was right all along then.

Fine. Not that that has anything to do with his intellect or capabilties as leader, but baldness is, saving disease, a hereditary condition. The fact that it has manifested itself so quickly is in fact a confirmation of this rather than a sign of stress having an effect. This of course is to the best of my knowledge.

The fact that he has added on a few pounds can be ascribed to a more sedentary lifestyle, perhaps – maybe he’s physically less active given that he’s got more time to invest elsewhere than at the gym….what do you think?

[Daphne – No, I don’t think so. It’s unusual for a person to age exponentially between 35 and 37. Of course baldness is hereditary, and so is the way we react to stress.]

On the other hand I am pretty certain that EFA had a much more stressful life than Joseph Muscat – even in the first years, nay especially in his years, as leader of the Opposition….and yet he’s got a full head till this very day….so pinning this down to stress may not be necessarily correct.

However, you could be right for all I know and it’s all stress related – but what does this show?

[Daphne – That he’s not coping.]

This is so shocking, Daphne…..so really shocking and yet so very true.

Like Joe Grima he certainly hasn’t overdone his wii fit. But then what do you expect from hamburger man himself.
