Le din mhix. Int ghandek split personalities skond is-suggett tat-thread. Kwalita&#039; li tista&#039; tkun tajba. Ara li fic-CV titfa &quot;Adaptable&quot; u &quot;Shows leadership qualities&quot;. U minhiex qed inkun sarkastiku.

Iva, hemm izjed kultura f&#039;erba&#039; albums ta&#039; Iron Maiden milli f&#039;40 sena ta&#039; Meander, jew kemm ilu jezisti. That should ruffle a few feathers in that direction.

Lanqas xejn. Kurjuz ghax kurjuz.

Ghandi kurzita&#039; dwar hafna nies. Per ezempju, ghandi kurzita&#039; jekk Matthew Vella hux dak tal-Malta Today. U kurzitajiet ohrajn.

Sadattant, imma, niehu l-opporunita&#039; biex nghidlek li l-Iron Maiden jaghtuk l-iskuza taqra mhux biss lil Coleridge, imma, mill-ewwel 4 albums taghhom:

(i) Sun and Steel (Miyamoto Musashi, u Mishima)
(ii) Murders in the Rue Morgue (Edgar Allan Poe)
(iii) Phantom of the Opera (Gaston Leroux)
(iv) Charge of the Light Brigade (Tennyson)
(v) Dune (Frank Herbert).

Naturalment, f&#039;albums ohrajn insibu Sillitoe, Golding, Conrad, Huxley, Eco, u ohrajn.

Anki din alpha-male challenge?]]></description>

Well I think we cannot conform and be like everybody else as gays because we are not, we have been doing that for too long.

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - Conform to what, Paul? My closest (gay) friends live lives remarkably similar to my own. In every social group there are people who wish to live differently, and that includes heteros of both genders. You can&#039;t exactly accuse all those middle-aged people posing on Facebook at Gianpula parties with cocktails and shirts open to the waist of &#039;conforming&#039;, though they are beginning to come across as very much the norm, while the &#039;act your age&#039; brigade, including me, begin to look like the odd ones out.]&lt;/strong&gt;

I also don&#039;t think we should ghettoize ourselves either, and I don&#039;t think we are doing that because all we want is equal rights to be exactly like the main society. If we wanted to ghettoize ourselves we wouldn&#039;t choose to fight for equal rights, but rather form a community and shutting everybody out.

I am not a single-issue voter but the issue of gay rights and equal rights for gay spouses are at the top of my list because they affect me everyday. Here we are still fighting and we are close to equal rights because of the fervent campaigning  we do. I would love to have  the opportunity to live there, as I miss it a lot but I can&#039;t for now at least.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You know, Paul, you would make a good spokesman for the cause because when you leave out the &#039;your party&#039; bits you &#039;talk&#039; in a way that makes people listen.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Eehh? To quote myself:

&#039;.....drug habit (soft or hardcore)&#039;

Any confusion with a reference to porn here would be due to your not reading my post properly I think Jack. The terms soft and hardcore are certainly not exclusive to porn-speak!]]></description>
