Hahah another plausible scapegoat please……and please give December exams some weight, please do.

[Daphne – I don’t believe there are December exams when there’s a set of exams called ‘midyear’. The word speaks for itself. I don’t recall December exams in senior school.]

Sorry ma’am. I know this will make you like me even less but I’ve checked it up in a couple of dictionaries (Collins and Webster, and Oxford too) and it’s with an “a”.

Needless to say, it could very well be the case that you are using Maltese English – a concept aptly described in Prof JM Brincat’s book on the history of the Maltese Language (originally a PIN publication).

[Daphne – Google it if you don’t believe me. Here’s one example: http://www.seedtoday.com/article.php?ID=24762 ]

In reply to John.

Good Photoshop skills, but the history’s all wrong.

“L’état, c’est moi” refers to the sovereign taking back direct control of the council of government, after various cardinals and ministers had gone all Franco Debono and brought the country to its knees.

It’s actually something Gonzi should be doing more of.

Daphne, Daphne… you never miss one do you? Well spotted, girl!

You have a typo because it’s “breadth” not “bredth”.

[Daphne – Both are correct, and at our school it was taught as ‘length and bredth’, so I got stuck with that.]

I feel compelled to inform Franco that I got 100 in maths between Form II and Form IV, except for one mid-year exam where I got 99.

Given that 73 in maths gets you to ask the PM to resign, should I ask the Pope or Barroso to move on?

I have heard from very reliable sources that Franco projects himself with some of his fellow MPs as “IL-FUTUR TA’ DAN IL-PARTIT”.

So Daphne, you are very correct to say that his ambition is to become leader of the PN.

This was quite a hectic week in politics. We will hopefully have a break before moving to the next episode, featuring Franco Debono as the main protagonist yet again.

But looking back, we have to see the direct results of all this, some of which were really needed.

We have seen Dr. Gonzi split the Justice ministry.

We now have three very hardworking new ministers.

Dr. Muscat has something less to beat the P.N. with – no more extra salary to the ministers.

For all this we have to thank Dr. Debono, so something good has come out of it after all.

In closing, do we have to drag his mother in all this?
