    Gotcha!

    If Pavlov were still alive he’d be impressed.

  2. Good one, Daphne.

    [Daphne – No credit to me, Peter. Some kind soul sent in the link, after some very sharp soul raided the One News YouTube ‘channel’, correctly predicting that Kurt the Coconut would do a Josef Stalin and ‘disappear’ the footage.]

    In the news: “Foreign backers of revolt to win Libya contracts – TNC head”.

    Jalil said: “We promise to favour the countries which helped us, especially in the development of Libya. We will deal with them according to the support which they gave us.”

    Are we at the end of list of supporters or not listed at all?

  4. Mark Vella says:

    Is Joseph Muscat wearing a green tie?

    [Daphne – Yes, the squalid little butt-licker is.]

  5. Min Weber says:

    Why is everybody fidgeting with his tie?

    Anyhow. The usual suspects.

    Will AST remain useful to the PL, now that his Contact has been thrown away into the dustbin of history?

    But I have to add that the PN allowed AST to build his profile, appointing him university lecturer. The PN was very myopic in this case.

      “Why is everybody fidgeting with his tie?”

      Because these people, who think nothing of turning up late for the King of Spain, are socially uncomfortable in the presence and in awe of a bloodthirsty dictator and thief.

      Those are the people they admire and to whom they feel inferior.

      Joseph Muscat’s ‘Gaddafi green’ tie is the pits.

      Bla zejt f’wicchom.

      Well, at least they managed to get in one last ride on the jet with the gold-plated lavatory seat before the whole thing went belly-up.

      It should have given Muscat some design ideas for his lovely home.

    • Grezz says:

      It’s a sign of nervousness, of feeling uncomfortable – a bit like brushing invisible dust off one’s clothing.

      I’d say that they all felt in awe of the bastard, though the Maltese man to Muscat’s right looked particularly uncomfortable, as if he wished he were elsewhere. Who is he?

      As for Karmenu Vella …

  6. Dee says:

    ANYONE WATCHING SMASH TV RIGHT NOW? KMB IS STICKING UP FOR GADDAFI’S REGIME AND ACCUSING THE WEST, THE UN AND NATO OF HORRIBLE WRONG-DOING.

  7. Edward Caruana Galizia says:

    Is this another moment in the past that people aren’t allowed to talk about or mention lest we get accused of living in the past?

  8. Dee says:

    ACCORDING TO KMB , THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE, AND FRESH NEGOTIATIONS FOR RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GHEDDAFI AND THE REBELS EVEN AT THIS STAGE.

    Unbelievable!

    • Grezz says:

      Well, one can hardly expect better from the man who stood atop one of the enormous trucks which was carrying rioting Drydocks workers on their law courts/Curia rampage … and signing autographs for adoring fans in the process, can one?

    • La Redoute says:

      The African Union’s said much the same thing.

  9. Ma x’biza ta’ ahbarijiet .Hawn Malta ghandna xi hadd li jiehu hsieb li dawn l-affarijiet ma jsirux?

    Daphne, grazzi, qed taghmel xoghol imprezzabbli. Nispera li hawn xi nies brainwashed li jitghalmu.

  10. Neil Dent says:

    For them, the fact that Lawrence Gonzi paid a visit to Gaddafi just before the uprising cancels out not only this grandiose meeting of minds, but every single sordid liaison and detail of the 40-year old MLP/PL-Muammar love affair.

    If I have one more ignoramus giving me the usual line, ‘imma konna morna tajjeb ma’Gaddafi ta!’ (it’s even been put as ‘taht Ghaddafi’ – an ironic slip of the tongue indeed!), thanks to his cash injections and paying for the ‘femli alawinz’, while trying NOT to sound like children of the Mintoff age, I swear I’ll swing for them.

  11. Lawrence says:

    Ara trid tkun laghqi biex tilbes ingravata hadra ta…..

    Bhat-tfal taghmel minn kollox biex timpressjona…..xi hlew

  12. La Redoute says:

    Was this before or after he flew on Gaddafi’s private jet? And did he use the gold taps and gold-plated toilet seat?

  13. carmel says:

    What are you saying, did you forget that the last Prime Minister of Malta who met Gaddafi before the revolution was none other than Dr. Lawrence Gonzi.

    [Daphne – He visited as the prime minister, Carmel, and not as a cheap lackey in a green tie bearing a Koran in Maltese, and trading on Karmenu Vella’s and AST’s Golden Years as the Qahba ta’ Gaddafi kontekts. Now go back to sleep. You should have asked them to take you with them (with or without a green tie) so that you too could have bummed a ride on Gaddafi’s jet and got all excited at the gold-plated lavatory seat. ]

  14. david g says:

    Blue and green cannot be seen without a colour in between. Did anyone notice the bokkla? Joseph trying to impress Gaddafi’s unconscious? A cinturin tal-gilda mill-monti?
    Who knows?

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      Min jaf kemm ijjotja ideas for interior decoration.

      Gaddafi was both a bloodthirsty tyrant and a paragon of tackiness.

      Sounds callous, but the latter was infinitely worse for Malta.

      The last thing our crass politicians needed was a mentor who plasters his tent with giraffe-and-palm-tree wallpaper. Get your aesthetics right and your policies will follow, is what I say.

  15. I was particularly impressed with the scrolling text at the bottom. Towards the end of the clip, at around 1:20, it says that there’s no “life” on the moon because there’s no water. I wouldn’t have thought this was newsworthy in 2010.

    They’ve thrown in a pet hate for good measure – xjentist instead of xjenzat.

  16. Oh, and I nearly forgot. Happy Birthday. You’re 3 days younger than my elder son.

    [Daphne – Thank you, but I don’t think even you are 47, let alone your son.]
