Thank heavens for Smartphones, to relieve the boredom of being in parliament

Here’s Anglu Farrugia, writing a column for the Labour Party’s official newspaper, KullHadd, in which he describes the scene in parliament the night of the confidence vote that he immediately went on to eclipse.
Ghamilna siegha u aktar, nisimghu lil Lawrence Gonzi, jfahhar lilu nnifsu. Ghamilna siegha u aktar nisimghuh jghidilna x’ghamel u x’ma ghamilx.
Ghamilna siegha u aktar nigu mfakkra bil-ksur tal-weghdiet elettorali tal-Partit li jhaddan hu. Ghamilna siegha u aktar, narawh jitmasshan, juza aggettivi u tqabbiliet, xejn denji fil-konfront ta’ Joseph Muscat.
And all the while he was on his smartphone, chatting with his Facebook Friends. Imagine that. A man who can do two things at once.

Ghamilna siegha u aktar nidhku bih wara Bondi+
Siegha, jew gimgha, TROY?
Listening to Tonio Fenech , I wondered whether he is reading last year’s budget speech.
List of projects which were not started and repeated this year and silly amendments saving a few euros in tax.
Nothing major about renewable energy initiatives, and how to give the economy a real impetus for growth, or making government more efficient by reducing 2000 people from govt depts, and widening tax bands in the lower categories to help lower / middle income. No vision, Tonio.
Budget tal-Kavalli.
Il-Budgets tal-kavalli spiccaw fl-1987.
Imma grazzi talli fakkartna f’liema mizerja konna nghixu fiz-zmien li kien jithabbar bl-ikbar pompa xi rohs ta’ 5 millezmi fuq il-kavalli …. u xi korp iehor paramilitari (ghall-irgiel biss) biex innaqqsu l-qaghad taht l-10,000 ruh.
L-istess ammont ukoll kien jintefaq fuq l-edukazzjoni! Jekk m’intix qed tkun sarkastiku, vera bniedem banali.
Heqq, sintendi, nghiduha kif inhi, multi tusking hux.
Le, Malti Tuskink propjament

Multi-tukser it-tifel.
No surprise there. He can talk and make an ass of himself at the same time.
It is SmartMPs, not MPs with smartphones, what we need in Parliament.
I wonder whether this is a case of bilocation or superposition.
Anglu would not have the answer ghax mhux tekniku fil Kwantum Fikzis.
He can do two things at once, yet he can’t update/ check his calendar to add The Budget in his list of pressing events.
It will take more than an hour to teach him how to pronounce ‘Task’. The Prime Minister tried, Lou Bondi tried but both failed.
Some are born never to make the grade. I am afraid at this point it is a cliche but…he’s not ‘not fit for purpose’.

Le mhux qed jaqra il-bagit tas- sena l-ohra ghaliex is-sena l-ohra tghidx kemm hargu jghajtu ghax kellna zieda ta’ 66 euro, izda din is-sena kellna it-triplu u ma hargux jghajtu.
Minn hemm indunajt li mhux bhal tas- sena l-ohra.
@ Surgent
66 euro? Din hlomtha!
‘And all the while he was on his smartphone, chatting with his Facebook Friends. Imagine that. A man who can do two things at once.’
It’s called multi-tasking. Most (married) women with children are proficient at it. Apparently, so is Anglu.
