your own reply will tell you why I am not a thorough reader of your blog. You are rude.
You are always ready to throw mud and venom at anyone who dares pass asimple comment not to mention contradict you.
You have also tried to insult me because of your phobia with elves and what nots..
As to where I live, in Nottinghamshire, a few days would do you good, it is a place that helps you relax and helps release frustration.

[Daphne – You went to live in Nottinghamshire to release your frustration? That’s a lot of effort when more simple means would have sufficed.]

In reply to Grezz. Maybe there was heavy traffic between Burmarrad and Gudja, too. At least, that was his excuse when he turned up late for the King of Spain.

In the meantime, the (ex) Chairman of Gozo Channel explained what happened, apologised, then….wait for it….. did the right thing and resigned anyhow. Hint Hint..JM

From timesofmalta.com:
“In a letter to Finance Minister Tonio Fenech, Dr Grech said: “I am taking this step with no little regret as my experience with the company and working with your good self has been positive in the extreme. I thank you for the trust you showed in me to date and also express my regret for any embarrassment which this incident might have caused,” Dr Grech said.

I have often seen emails from government employees using “your good self”. Am I the only one to think that it sounds odd?

[Daphne – It’s really archaic. It should be ‘working with you’ and not ‘working with your good self’.]

I get to read the Times of Malta on line. I also like to follow your blog when it does not get too personal.
What I fail to understand is your fundamentalist bond to Gonzi or the PN.
No matter what, you seem to turn the whole thing up side down.
Are you by any chance the PNs secret propaganda minister?
In this particular case, Joseph Muscat was wrong to keep those passengers waiting even if maybe it was the airline to decide to wait and not that he ordered them to…. but was the Chariman of the Gozo Channel right? what are your comments about that?
How come I never saw a comment here about the auditors report, when reporting on the increases the Prime Minister decide to take and give to his aides?
For a person of your standing these flaws shriek out..

[Daphne – Not a very thorough reader are you? But then all elves are like that. Hmmm, I wonder what I think about all these things? Scroll back through the archives and you’ll find out. You don’t even need the archives for what I think about the (ex) Gozo Channel chairman. It’s on the home page. Il-vera Labour jahasra. And why do your lot always choose nicks that make you sound like strippers or somebody off a sink estate?]

I was always very cautious in doing buisness with persons who were repeaedly late for important meetings.

It is a sign of arrogance and bad manners. It also shows that he desires to show off his superiority and what he is telling himself is ” Let them wait, they need me”.
