@ Vladmir Cutajar Forte:

Trust me to think that it’s actually members of parliament who make laws.

At least you have spared us from a Lowell video clip.

@La Redoute……….what is your point ? ? ?

I get it, Baxxter, and agree with you.

Then you didn’t understand Clausewitz at all. He wasn’t talking about dictators, but generals on the battlefield. It could equally apply to business leaders, or politicians, or scientists.

Hell, Daphne has shown some pretty remarkable coups d’œil.

She has a nose for important news stories, and can tell you how it all plays out in a few lines, while other journalists are still busy scratching at their notebooks reporting the fekts es dej hepind.

Your Clausewitz reference smells like hubris to me baxxter. It served Napoleon until it didn’t serve him any more and betrayed him. Is it faith that betrayed him or his megalomania or was it the fact that finally the British had trained to be better than the French? When leaders take on the crown of a god and think they’re humanity’s gift to whatever I tend to get a bit cynical. Hubris…

Hammerstein comes across as being an aloof old-stock Prussian. If anything he was removing the patently incompetent and the dangerously stupid from positions of command and preferred the idle few who have the mental baggage of exploring ideas and take their time to consider things before committing to anything.

Was it Sun Tsu who said ‘only fight the battles you can win’?

But I agree with you about this blessed country, we idolise those who busy themselves too much to the detriment of their learning life’s lessons and having the patience to wait things out instead of running onto where only fools dare thread…

Well, either that, or he hasn’t understood that “booger” is a bogey.

This is hilarious – I just scrolled down on the link, and the “kitchen” is right there – slap, bang next to the “bedroom”.

Whoever feels at home there must be used to living in a ‘boathouse’.

First it was Tander Saliba tal-Labour bragging about his fantastic new bedroom on Facebook. Now it’s Anglu Farrugia’s daughter with her bedroom in Sqalljia http://www.pozzocassero.it/camere%20ok.htm

I’d rather stay home, than spend my holidays in such a crappy place.

Imma forsi ahjar minn karavan l-Armier.

Going by what she told an interviewer some weeks ago, she has an irritating habit of taking decisions on impulse and not continuing with projects she starts.
Political mavericks come in all shapes and sizes by the sound of it.

What movie? Bram Stoker’s Dracula?
