Maybe one day, a reporter might ask her whether she paid for the catering and for the venue rental.

Yep. Dry-stone buildings (is this the right term?) are found all over the place in Sardinia, Southern Italy and especially Provence. That’s one element of Maltese heritage which I’d love to see preserved. Together with the skills of course. I’m told “sejjieh u tal-fiel” experts are a dying breed.

What? Joseph has to rework the costings for the balcony again?

First the change in the MEPA rates… and now the cement tax?

Why doesn’t he leave it to his technical sidekick to work it out. Oh wait, it’s the otherway round.

So who does Labour have to take care of the country’s finances if elected to government?

The mind boggles.

Linking these and all other contractors, however, to cement is doing these a great disservice, they are, after all, just that, people capable of taking on a job against a contract.

As for those specialised in concrete, the tax is but a signal to the end of this cannibalistic free for all.

I think there will come a time when removal of overdevelopment and restitution of vacant space will actually prove profitable. If only architecture were upheld, this detente could end.

These people must be missing the Strowger. Hi lanqas haqq kemm nefaq il-gvern.

The place is huge and impressive but the decor is kitsch and the right definition is “post tal-hamalli”.

Reading this kind of crap confirms my opinion of Facebook and its users.

[Daphne – That’s a silly generalisation. Facebook is terrific and only some of its users are idiots and exhibitionists.]

Baxxter, spent a night in a giren once. Reminded me of a Canadian eskimo igloo–spent a couple of nights in one also. Was very impressed that no concrete, ashphalt,or cold fusion energy were involved. (in the giren, the igloo only uses ice,)

Innovative people back then. Where are they now? Certainly not in a ‘heap of shit’.

I vote to make it the Comment of the Week.
