Some formal dinners are more equal than others

Don't worry, Joseph, just start from the outside and work your way in.

I suppose you remember when the Leader of the Opposition refused the prime minister’s invitation to a formal dinner to honour outgoing president Eddie Fenech Adami.

He said that he hated formality and preferred hamburgers at McDonalds, and then he went to Ragusa with Anglu Farrugia u n-nisa taghhom instead.

But sometimes, formal dinners are fine.

    He is visibly out of his depth there. L-aqwa fl-Ewropa.

    He was probably kicking himself for choosing the August Moon Ball to attend a formal dinner. Wearing a tuxedo in the middle of summer is definitely much worse than March – when the dinner for Eddie Fenech Adamiwas held.

    I’m trying to imagine him dancing but……..

    [Daphne – Oh I see, that must have been the night he ‘broke his leg’..]

    I love his perplexed look, not knowing in which order he should use the silverware.

    Maybe King Carlos can give him some pointers should he arrive on time for his lesson.

    Out of depth, out to lunch and out of ideas.

    Pity Anglu didn’t attend. He’d have looked so smart in a TUKSedo.

    Il-prim ministru futur ta’ Malta jiddeciedi liema sikkina ha jaqbad biex jaqsmilna kejk nej b’ 51 zbiba.

    George Abela seems to be having a good laugh at Joseph’s expense
