We can try Arabic…again. Perhaps after 2013.

Kev, thanks for the video. I knew you were interested in cows, but I did not know you also had an interest in laying hens.

It is good to know that we are “self sufficient in eggs” (Kev’s video, 2:59) in Europe. But I am not so sure about Malta.

Then we should stop deluding ourselves about a second official language.

He actually has a lump in his throat , something to do with business interests in Libya and rooting for the wrong side .

He sounded like a “foreigner” who spends a lot of time in Libya.

It just sounds ‘foreign’ to native English speakers.

Like you I was surprised at the way he spoke because I don’t associate that type of accent with someone in his position but I don’t think foreigners notice.

Take a trip to a Portomaso cafe at lunch time to see exactly what I mean.

He was probably referring to the Order of St John. Seeing as we’ve appropriated the Maltese cross as our national symbol and il-kavallieri have become a household name, he’s right.

Meanwhile, AMERICAN jets have now landed at Luqa. Karmenu must be seething with indignation, eh, Ciccio?

Remember when Ghaddafi sent his gunboats in the Mintoff years?
