[Daphne – Zachary, it’s still a significant speech, and you might not know this, but that was the only opportunity in the entire year that the opposition leader got to address a national audience on television, albeit via the response to the budget in parliament. Or have you been led to believe that he made television appearance on a daily basis?]

or Lyrica.

Sometimes they forgot to cut off the sound. On one occasion we were treated to the sound of the prime minister of and Salvatur ta’ Malta saying ‘Mur ahra’.

Exactly Daphne – remember Toni Abela waxing lyrical about those wonderful days when he’d come home from school, to find Mama waiting for him with a ‘borma tfuh’?

RaveOn!

How about all those Yans, Yakovs, Yanovs, Raisas…….our neighbour also called his dog Croatia during the trouble there.

If you listen in to One Radio, you will understand why the young generation of Laburisti sincerely belive that during Mintoff’s and KMB’S regimes , Malta was heaven on earth,

All the old socialist Mintoffijan troglodytes who were more or less discarded by Alfred Sant have been rehabilitated and left to run amok in the Labour media.

Gabriel (or Gibril in Arab) is the name of an archangel, as are Raphael and Michael .

The names I referred to earlier ie Mwammar, Fidel, Nicolai or Kim are the names of Dom’s best buddies and heros during the ‘golden era’ of Maltese history. Mwammar Gheddafi , Kim il Yung, Nicolai Caucescu, Fidel Castro…….
