L-iskola tan-nuna.
He’s probably confused now and is trying to figure out the connection between tusks, buses and the dockyard as elephants don’t usually feature in either of them – except perhaps in India of course.
The AFM Commander is in the tuks force – another combined effart.
Kemm hu injorant, Madonna!
Would PM Joey Muscat send Anglu Farrugia to represent Malta at European Council meetings?!
Would PM Joey Muscat entrust Anglu Farrugia with a taSK force?!
Joey, Anglu is the ballast that will keep your hot-air balloon grounded.
‘Ajruplan’, Dokta Gonzi, mhux ar-ju-plan. Tsk tsk.
[Daphne – Yawn. Been there, discussed that. It depends whether you got the word from Italian or from English. Ajruplan comes ay-ro-plane via the RAF u l-qbija tal-barranin li mietna ghalihom, and arjuplan comes from aeroplano. Now go and roll out your red carpet for the latest cabbage to fly in to Brussels.]
Yes been there, but haven’t learned anything yet. Tghidx cucati – aeroplano has nothing to do with ar-ju-plan.
Ma tammetti qatt din il-mara – tal-ghageb – mhux ta’ b’xejn tghix go kaxxa ta’ zewg piedi bi tlieta…
[Daphne – Yes, it does, Kevin. Now get back to work and stop freeloading off the European taxpayer. Or are you on lanc brejk?]
U tghix go kaxxa sittin centimetru b’disghin, ghax go Brussels allura metric. Mhux xorta?
I’m a 24/7 political activist not a 9-to-5 civil servant. My breaks relate to petty politics, which is why I visit this blog.
Ar-jo-plano, eh – mur obsor li ma tafx Taljan hej! Imma xorta trid tmeri…
[Daphne – Yes, Kevin, aeroplano became arjuplan in Maltese for the same reason that aeroplane became ajruplan. Now p*ss off and go and play with Sharon or chat to your brother-in-law Andy Ellul (that must be stimulating)..]
Kev, Like?
Dan kif jikkellem?

KMB was on Smash recently, still on about the zewg ‘anjumplaani’ that we should have sent back to their rightful owner, Gaddafi.
Kev kont, bqajt u ser tibqa njorant!
Some say arjuplan because of our exposure to the Italian use of the word they inherited from English who had previously adopted it from French. Although aeroplano is the proper spelling and pronunciation, areoplano is widely used.

I heard Dr Gonzi saying ‘jipqa’ instead of ‘jibqa’ in one of the clips you showed here yesterday, or is it correct as well? Daphne you said ‘l-qbija’ above, should it not be ‘bqijja’? I stand to be corrected.
This mistake/mispronunciation is rather less significant than Anglu’s ‘takss forss’.
Daphne, ghandha ragun, Kev:- arjuplan u ajruplan jistghu jinghadu u jinkitbu t-tnejn.
Issa jekk ma temminx lili, jekk joghgbok mur sib Maltese-English Dictionary Volume One A-L ta’ Prof Joseph Aquilina. U fittex pagna 41. U, ghal darba, isma’ wahda minn Daphne: mur ilghab ma’ Sharon jew pacpac ma’ hatnek – dak il-boqqa brodu.
U int, Daphne, prosit tassew, eh: Madonna, tafu sew il-Malti.
Perhaps Anglu is, quite literally, referring to a tuks force for public transport…

Ah! well…phuk -et.
Rather than focus so much energy on making Gonzi look incompetent and therefore unelectable, Labour should instead be asking itself why the party seems to attract so many losers, creeps, and semi-literates.
Until they figure out an answer to that question they will never get rid of their image as “il-partit tal-injurant”.
They’ve taken it up one notch, smugly adopting the verb to ignore as their mission statement.
