My two favourite comints
The comments beneath my Glanville Goodlip (3 December) post are just wonderful. They’re coming in thick and fast (and that’s not a description of Silvio Parnis).
These are my two favourite ones so far.

If she floats she’s not a witch.
That dirty trick worked the other way round. If you floated you were a witch and were burned to death. If you sank, you were innocent but drowned.
It’s a metaphor for sticking your neck out in this backwater.
Wrong La Redoute. In my village we tie them to a block of concrete.
That makes you more of a witch if you can float, concrete block and all.
It’s nice to know the medieval mindset officially still exists.
Hey La Redoute, love her or hate her, your sister has a sense of humour. Why are you always all doom and gloom?
[Daphne – She’s not my sister.]
Thank God.
Dan fejn tghallem jikteb bil-Malti! GGGGGIZZZUUUmarija!!!!!!!! Jekk ghandu mitt kelma ghandu mitejn zball. Tal-wahx.

Just try reading some of the mobile messages doing the rounds these days .
These seem encrypted! Where’s Kev?
The toughest battle is fighting ignorance, Daphne. You are dealing with a sub-culture here.
While Glanville Goodlip is a typical name for the harbour area because of the British Navy, names like Charlon, Elton, Sue-Ellen are all indicative of the family roots.
“The toughest battle is fighting ignorance, Daphne. You are dealing with a sub-culture here.”
This sentence says it all. Sub-culture people behave like that.
Lorna you are generalising , the greatest flaw in reason is when one persons misdeeds are attributed to those of the same gender , same age , same colour , same socio/economic background etc. etc.
If they watch ‘Deceduti’ – no further comments from my side. I shudder to think that these are Malta’s future politicians.
Where on earth did you get ‘future politicians’ from? I’m almost certain those two comments are not from uni students, let alone ‘future politicians’.

I’m most certain those comments are from students. If they are, I’m sure they are, then that makes illiterate and semi-illerate people look very clever. And i’m not being sarcastic.
They are from university students actually, Labour supporters who hate Daphne.
You should have heard some of the comments on the quad this morning Daphne/Nationlalist hate all the way.
@Lilla
Do you mean they were more shocked by a blog post than by a punch up on campus involving a Dean and a freshly minted graduate?
@ La Redoute
Yes, exactly. Daphne and her blog is full of ‘hdura’, but ganging up on a man old enough to be their father and fracturing his shoulder is apparently not ‘hdura’.
This is not my opinion about Daphne, only what I personally heard this morning.
The try to seem happy in their crass ignorance
Mr Apple’s comment is so ironic. Apparently he thinks that a factual article makes us a “pajjiz injorant”, yet insulting and being unable to write in your own language does not.
Glanville was busy…
Kif fqajtni dal-ghodu, aq allec, Gledis!
The fool has never heard of the name Gladys, and probably thinks he’s spelt it correctly.
Kurzita’ sinjura Daphne, inti tilbes sabih?
Hilarious. I would show some Christmas spirit and temporarily re-word the title to “Gledis Caruana Galizia’s Notebook”. Just to make them happy.
Come on. You know you want to.
That should read as ‘Daphne Caruana Gledis’… as far as I understood, they said that Galizia seemed like Gladis.
You mean Gledis. And anyway, it’s spelt Gladys.
Speaking of Graduates.

By far, without a doubt, this is THE BEST SITE EVER. Prosit, prosit, prosit.
IT IS, KEEP THEM COMING DAPH.
One hopes that bm82 and Mr apple are not B.Com graduates.
Mr Goodlip represents nobody except himself.
The sooner people realize this, the better.
Daphne, why don’t you publish their IP address as well?
These numbskull buddies of Mr Goodlip need to get their priorities right. Their genial friend gets himself arrested for assaulting a man old enough to be his grandpa and his klikka are worried about a blog?
Mur ghidilhom. The only defence we’ve heard so far is “he started it”.
One wonders what he’s like on the pitch, when he’s playing for Pieta’ Hotspurs.
“…nies bhalek jgelu nidru kemm ahna pajjiz injorant…”
A very accurate assessment of half the population who votes Labour.
Is this the same guy ?

Goodlip sounds very much like one of those corny names Ian Fleming came up with. You know the sort… Pussy Galore, Plenty O’ Toole, Goodhead, Onatop &c
The Maltese equivalent is Xoffa Tajba. Think about that.
Bonalabia if you’re the Casino Maltese lawyer type.
On another subject: An excellent article by Michael Falzon.
http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/opiniondetails/blogs/opinion/The-enemy-within
The bottom line is that we are allowing low-level MEPA bureaucrats obstruct and delay much needed investment in major public and private projects (Smart City, MITA head offices, Palumbo shipyard and others).
MEPA senior management and the Board are not doing enough to challenge and question what they are being told by MEPA personnel.
It is worrying that important public projects are faced with difficulties, in many cases, because MEPA officials are intent on finding problems rather than solutions.
It is about time Government commissions an environmental, sorry, economic impact assessment to establish the costs being imposed on the economy by the unreasonable way planning procedures, regulations and policies are being applied.
Hilarious!
Thanks for this, Daphne. After a very long and busy day I needed a good laugh – the galizia-gledis comment had me in stitches. Morons.
The following article published on the front page of The Sunday Times has not stirred up much interest.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20111204/local/Sargas-electricity-plan-will-cost-more.396661
“The coal-fired power plant being promoted by a Norwegian company as the solution to Malta’s high tariffs and emissions would condemn the country to steep electricity prices for generations, an expert has warned.”
Illiterate students don’t read newspapers.
Did anyone note the unbelievable comments in this blog?

Daphne, are you watching Bondi +? Karmenu Vella is pitisome. What a bloody amateur! What a brazen neck – tal-biki.
[Daphne – Yes, I watched. Will post about it.]
Exact description. He was pitisome. Tal-biki.
And you cannot really trust anybody who pronounces the word “parlament” “pallament”.
Or someone who speaks like he’s just woken up, flapping his hands about and then turning puce with anger because he can’t answer a question without obfuscation.
Or refers to a ‘David Cameroun’.
