“The course is open to women and men”. You don’t say.

[Daphne – Unbelievable.]

……………….or by how much one can shout and be heard?

Miriam Gauci is a world renowned soprano.

“They (people in senior level ) should be paid a lot because they’ve got a great deal of responsibility.”

I say “of course”, but how much? I still say that all this hullaballoo on the ministers’ pay is the result of crass ignorance coupled with envy.

Two engineers who are friends of mine once had this discussion.

Ray: “How much are you working, Ramon?“

Ramon: “Well, I go in at half seven and leave at around six and sometimes eight in the evening.”

Ray:”Saturdays?”

Ramon: “Yes, I go in at nine and leave at four.”

Ray: “Sundays?”

Ramon: “A few hours every now and then.”

After this brief interview Ray got out a calculator from his briefcase and in no time concluded ”You’d better change your job. A cleaner with Bad Boy on minimum wage would earn more than you do if he works those hours.”

I was surprised at Vanessa McDonald’s lame argument when she ‘calculated’ Stephen Spiteri’s hourly ‘wage’ by dividing his ‘pay packet’ with his attendance in parliament on TVM’s Bongu.

It has become fashionable to lambast government.

In no time we will have some bright spark in “journalism” calculating how many times the prime minister ‘siefer’ on government business and comparing it to how many times a poor worker with a Lm0.50 COLA pay rise went to have a burger at MacDonalds.

We’re becoming a stupid country, where a TV programme presenter is more important than an economist.

I am scandalised with the way the well-off Joseph Muscat is depriving his people (foot soldiers, who really have their ears to the ground) like Ms Coleiro Preca from earning a decent honorarium. Who would pay the rent for the office she uses in Luqa for example?

As if we, lesser mortals, care for Muscat’s diminishing hair line, or Gonzi’s facial craters!

[Daphne – In fact, we don’t. It’s the wigs, hair volumiser, dye and transplants we’re interested in.]

Well said, Daphne.

Bajd u Laham should thank his lucky stars he’s got meat and not just pizza.

Simon, I had the following in mind the minute Daphne put up this post, but I refrained from sending it because I hate flaunting other people’s feathers particularly if I consider them well above average intelligence.

I invite you to stop for a while and think about this. If you make a relative comparision (that is take into consideration things like time, human, capital and technological resources) this blog is most probably, that is 99.9%, the most visited and popular site in Malta. What is even more incredible is that Daphne has total control on the numbers that visit this blog

Try and match that and then ask the same question.

And that is only this blog!

It’s not just politics, Victor Laiviera is Malta’s answer to Victor Meldrew.
