Is-social life ta’ Joseph Muscat
Iz-Zubina (red shirt) talking to Joseph Muscat (back to the camera)
Two months ago, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando made a horrific fuss about not speaking at the Independence Day celebrations (you know, like everybody was gagging to listen to him) because somebody called Charlie ‘iz-Zubina’ Mangion had helped find ghanja singers for the occasion.
Yes, I know the whole thing sounds like some kitsch Sicilian nightmare, but there you go – the other side of Malta. To complete the picture, it turned out that this man had killed a sailor in a drunken brawl some 40 years ago, as one did in those exciting days of port life, and had served time for it.
He had also said on Facebook – having entered the modern age – that Pullicino Orlando should be cooked into a stew and fed to pigs, for which he was investigated by the police at Pullicino Orlando’s request, hence the fuss and bother.
Life in Malta – don’t you just love it.
Super One made a meal of this, having been deprived of Jeffrey stew, and spent the next few days showing a picture of Iz-Zubina with the prime minister in one of those ‘ejja hudli ritratt mal-prim’ moments.
But it turns out that iz-Zubina has posed with other VIPs, and has uploaded on Facebook a photograph in which he is seen chatting in a bar with Joseph Muscat, who is recognisable by his distinctive bald patch.

I can’t for the life of me understand these guys. I assume this is a Sunday morning. Everyone puts on a nice shirt and trousers, some aftershave, a million quid worth of bling, you know, the works. And then you get this guy in a vest – my God, even Onslow used to put on a pullover when going out.
But Spiru,zubina is in his sunday best!!
Shouldn’t that be Sunday Vest?
Thank you for indicating which one in the picture is Joseph Muscat.
Zubina is always at every Labour Party meeting. Fiind any channel’s political news Sunday slots and he’s always there sitting with a pair of weird glasses.
Sorry to stray from the subject Daphne, but is it just me, or does the article below read more like a short story, rather than a minor news item?
It could have been done in three sentences, and the style is like that of a primary school kid trying to pad out his English essay to make up the required number of words.

The with his back to the camera (on the right) is Joseph?
GRAŻŻI TAL-KUMMENTI KEMM KUMPLAMENTUŻU U KEMM DAWK LI MA HUMIEX…. IMMA L-VERITA HI LI GONZI U JOSEPH IT-TNEJN TKELMU U GHANDHOM RITRATT MIEGHI JIEN KEMM JIEN DAK LI JIEN ….
Joseph ghandu bzonn jixtrilu keyboard gdid ghax wehillu il-Caps Lock, iz-Zubina.
Zubina, il-kummenti huma aktar immirati lejn dawk li hadu skandlu meta kellek x’taqsam mal-PN waqt ic-celebrazzjonijiet ta l-Indipendenza, u allura sibt ruhhek fin-nofs.
Il-fatt li iltqajt ma Dr Gonzi ma dejjaq lill hadd hlief lill dawk li riedu jiehdu vantagg politikament. Daqshekk iehor ahna ma jimpurtaniex jekk tithabbeb ma Joseph ghax wara kollox l-opinjoni tieghek tiswa daqs tieghi u ta eluf aktar. Grazzi ghal gvernijiet Nazzjonalisti, int tista tghid, fil-berah dak li trid rigward il-gvern, favur jew kontra, u tista torqod bil-kwiet minghajr ma tissogra xi sparatura, bomba jew xi xebgha fid-Depot tal-pulizija.
Tajjeb li wiehed ma jinsiex l-imghoddi biex fil-futur ma jissugrax li jirrepeti l-hazen tal-passat. Ifimha jekk trid.
Hadt pjacir niddiskuti l-ghana mieghek, Zubina. Dik il-kitarra tal-gebel ghadha hemm?
There goes another one wandering around unsupervised.
