@daphne You might have noticed that there are no NO Parking signs and no double yellow lines… so why all this BS.?

[Daphne – You don’t need a No Parking sign or a double yellow line to tell you that you shouldn’t park on the pavement, still less on a street corner. It’s taken as read.]

I know Dr Herrera and if one person is not arrogant it is him.
Who has nothing better to do than to snap photos of peoples cars in various situations.
If it comes to that than half of Sliema are guilty of the same crime.
What about all the Reserved parking for old biddies who never pressed a pedal in their lives but whose ‘connections’ ensure that their neices/nephews have reserved parking zones. That is arrogance!
There is no parking to be had due to the bank, supermarkets, shops and hotel employees who use up most of the parking space, so much so that people have become housebound and cannot use their car.
Resident parking is a must and commercial establishments should be provided with parking space for their employees.
I also know Daphne and she couldn’t have grown up on that corner surely, she had a decent house and a lovely family in Milner Street.
What started about bad parking, convened to peckers and gabbannas, irkotta – what next gebjna?
Happy New Year to All.

Actually Ray it is the reserve of Sliema in a sense because , Sliema did have two notorious Kiosk’s for one reason or another – The dearly missed Magic Kiosk toy shop, (which has ironically become a Poundshop , that’s curruption mate ) and the Magic Kiosk restaurant ( Twas redecorated with a bomb once) . Sure there’s Kiosk all over the Island but not many with a story .

[Daphne – That was MAGIC SHOP not Magic Kiosk toy shop.]

Your thanking me. that’s a change , your usually ticking me off .

Yes correct -It’s Ricotta not irkotta becasue we are corrupting the Itallian word recotto. But surley that’s a unique think about the Maltese language , it’s ability to bastardise English or in this case Itallian.

God , we are even good at bastarsing food !

Why even , Jamie Oliver ( celebrity British cook ) in his Soho restaurant serves Timpana (bastardised Lasagna) .

So all in all we are pretty good at being bastards I think .

Yeah , yeah alright she’s correct on this one , it’s Kabana my Dad’s from Sliema and it’s always been referred to as Il -Kabana .

Hey Daph while we are on it follow this link . Heaven knows who the refference in italics is referring to .

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tal-pepe

[Daphne – Thank you for backing me up on this against people who think the word is irkotta and the other word is gabbana. As for that Urban Dictionary reference, it is clearly written by somebody ridden with lanzit and who doesn’t know that tal-pepe refers specifically to people born and bred in Stella Maris Parish, Sliema. And we definitely don’t speak that way. Those are the wannabes.]
