Labour’s not-quite-star candidayt: Joey iz-Zejza

Published: January 25, 2012 at 2:47pm

So Grace Borg has withdrawn her candidature from the Labour Party because of the barrage of mockery about her false nails and so on (a woman of steel, what) and now she’s been replaced by Joey Iz-Zejza.

That’s right: Joey the Tit.

    You mean Joey the Boob? Or Joe the Knocker?

    At this stage we will soon have Ganni l-Pesisa and Gorg il-Bewla entering the race.

    Imma kuragguz it-tifel biex jirreklama lilu n-nisfhu hekk. No doubt the nickname is catchy enough to remain seared in people’s brain.

    Imagine the Luqa picket line:

    Aw siehbi, lil min ha tivvota?

    Mhux il-lejber jew?

    Isma, ghandna tifel gdid – ahseb fih ta!

    Mela le. Min hu?

    U ijwa tafu? Joe Camilleri.

    Min?

    U ijwa. Joey….Joey iz-Zejza!

    Eeee Joey. Mela hareg dak? Ha ntih il-number one mela.

    Should he be elected how will this man be introduced to foreign dignitaries?

    Can I be a candy-date, please. Can I, can I.

    You should learn how to spell candidate Ms Galizia. I honestly don’t know how you sleep at night knowing how you make such a clown of yourself in your rubbish blogs.

    • K says:

      You do realise she’s joking, right?

      • Me says:

        No, sarcasm and wit are entirely lost on such people.

      • Angus Black says:

        People with a brain the size of a nit cannot appreciate much less understand humour, sarcasm and wit.

        If Daphne’s ‘misspellings’ bother Jake so much, he should continue to read Maltastar and get a proper education there.

        Candidayts like Joey iz-Zejza should be on a big election style poster, all lit up, of course, because it would illustrate what Labour is all about and what it has to offer.

        I wonder whether the tit has any milk left after the ‘cow’ by the name of Gaddafi has been dispatched to greener pastures where countless virgins wait to be of service to him.

    • David says:

      Honestly, your constant pointing out of spelling mistakes makes your comments that much more enjoyable for me!

      [Daphne – And useful too, I trust.]

    • painintheass says:

      Jekk ma jogbokx tharisx. If you dont like the blog just don’t view it.

    • Herman says:

      Jake, maybe you never heard the word candidature. Thanks to Daphne you are now learning some new English words.

    • Mitqlu Deheb says:

      It is all lost on you, Jake, innit? Yet more evidence of the low IQ that prevails on the PL front.

    • Joanne says:

      Jake do you really believe Daphne can’t spell the word candidate?

      She’s only mocking the way it’s being pronounced.

      Got it now, Jake?

    • thinker says:

      yes, how do you sleep daphne?

      [Daphne – I get under my quilt, put my head on the pillow, and close my eyes. I don’t believe in those futon things, so I use a proper bed. It’s Art Nouveau and made of carved wood. The quilt cover I am currently using is striped like mattress ticking, a pattern I have favoured for many years.]

    • sap says:

      Jake, inti jaqaw bdejt issegwi dan il-blog wara li xi hadd Mintuffjan bghattlek biex tidhol hawn fuq Facebook, ghax hawn wahda hadra tghid kontra is-Salvatur? Jekk trid tkun taf ghalfejn candidate inkitbet b’dak il-mod, kull ma trid taghmel hu li taqra l-blogs ta’ qabel….ir-risposta issibha f’Jannar stess.

  5. K says:

    Classy stuff.

  6. A. Charles says:

    Labour supporters and elves are making this blog one of the most clicked and read.

    [Daphne – I know. They’ve pushed me up to 33 on Alexa. Oh, the irony, the blissful irony.]

  7. Herbie says:

    Wow! Knows Maltese English and Italian.
    I also know Americans, Russians, Spanish and many others too.

    Spot on !

    Dawn taz-Zejza huma nies fihom daqs nofs iljunfant. Nies dhulin minn Wied il-Knejjes, dari it-Triq tal Karmnu kienet mimlija redus tal-moghoz u tan-naghag.

    In-nanna ta’ dan it-tifel kienet ghamja u kienet thoss b’idejha. Meta qassis li fih ragel mar ikellima u messitu biex tiflieh qaltlu “Qisek iz-zejza tieghi”. Riedet tghid li xebhitu ma’ Indri it-tifel taghha, missier dan id-deputat.

    M’ghandniex xi nghidu Dun Indri infaqa’ jidhaq.

    Nippreferi liz-Zejza milli mitt opportunista bhal Grace Borg u l-imbarazz li tghabba bih il-Lejber li rmew in-Nazzjonalisti.

  10. winwood says:

    Jake, Alla ghad irid johloq stupidu, bahnan, pulcinell u nofs kedda biex jikkompeti mieghek.

  11. Lorna saliba says:

    Daphne you are hilarious!

    I’m surprised we didn’t send this guy to represent us in the Eurovision song contest: Joey z-Zejza…..

    Well, what do u know? This guy seems competent enough to writethe Labour electoral manifesto.

    We’ll call it “il-Futur ta’ Malta taht iz-zejza”.

  12. Dem-ON says:

    Skuzi eh, imma mal-Lejber jew terdgh*, jew terda z-zejza.

  13. Min Weber says:

    Sorry to say, you are all uncouth. All of you fail to see the Freudian undertones. M’iniex tekniku, imma cari daqs il-kristall. Puh ghalikom!

  14. Pappagall says:

    Joey z-Zejza has suddenly disappeared from Facebook. He’s Joe Camilleri now. Thank heavens for screen captures.

  15. Lorna saliba says:

    So Joey z-zejza has actually replaced Grace Borg as a candidate? This skip is getting bigger by the minute.

  16. TinaB says:

    The comments posted here by these morons are proof enough that Laburisti and their mentality have not changed, not one iota, since the eighties.

    They remind me of North Koreans and their dear leader – litteralment tal-biza.

    La ghandhom ideja xi tfisser liberta tal-espressjoni, la x’inhu sarkazmu. Xejn.

    Daphne, thanks for uploading them here and exposing them for what they really are so that if there are still any out there who do not believe that nothing has changed in all these years with Labour, they’ll be able to see for themselves.

    And remember that these are the people who will be running the country very, very soon.

    • zaghzugh says:

      first of all if you take a look at the comments here you don’t see any comments coming from any LABURISTI.
      second, who are you to say that under the PL malta will be a dictatorship or they resemble dictators? if you are some kind of a fortune teller than good for you.
      i can’t see how a nickname like joey iz zejza would by any.chance indicate a dictatorship.
      now it is my turn to be a fortune teller and i’m going to describe you in a few words… first, you probably do not live in a village so nickname are strange to you. you are stereotypical regarding words like zejza (which nowadays even 5 years do not make a fuss about). you definately do not follow what is going on around you in malta. we’ve had enough of gonzipn’s lies and results show us that we cannot trust him. at the moment i think that the PL can do a better job than GONZIPN. i’m a LABURISTA but i’m also a good voter. if in the future PL will be in government and it will make the same mistakes as GONZIPN i will not hesitate and vote PN. i totally disagree when one writes “twelidt nazzjonalist u nazzjonalist immut” (and this applies for PL people as well).
      i hope you weren’t offended by the fact that i replied to you. but i felt the need to show you that even PL has good people on its side.

      • TinaB says:

        First and foremost, dear zaghzugh, I was referring to all the idiotic comments posted by the Mintoffjani/Laburisti progressivi, on this blog in general – jake’s classy comment actually inspired me to post this particular one here.

        Secondly, one who, like myself lived under the marmalja regime during the seventies and eighties (unlike you, it seems) does not need any fortune-telling skills to know and predict what it would be like living under a Labour government – taparsi-progressiv, who, funny enough, at the same time is doing everything they possibly can to attract the same type of scumbag violent supporters they had twenty five years ago. If that is not a clear indication what it would be like should Malta have a PL government in the very near future, I do not know what is.

        Oh, and by the way, I was born and bred in a typical Maltese village, so YES, I am more than familiar with nicknames than you think – does that mean that I must agree that someone nicknamed “iz-zejza” should be part of a team who may be soon running my country? Give me a break, young man.

    What next?

  20. Erasmus says:

    Could it be zejza rather than żejża i.e. with the z of zalza?

  21. WhoamI? says:

    ha toqtolni, Daphne!

    Hi Daphne,

    Looks like Labour’s star candidate changed his strategy now! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000578223268

    I am informed that during the last Local Council Elections in Luqa, this chap positioned himself strategically outside the polling station and ushered people in with the magical words: “Sinjuri tħallux iż-Żejża barra!”…would you believe it.

  23. Taks Fors says:

    Ili ntella u nnizzel jekk nivvutax Labour, imma issa zgur Labour ha nivvota ghax jien iz-zejza nhobbha – anke tnejn!

  24. Me says:

    OH.MY.GOD.

    The self-proclaimed “Joey iz-Zeja”/Joey the Tit. What an embarassment these people are, and they don’t even know it.

  25. django says:

    I hope this guy has a good sense of humour, for his own sake.

  26. Mercury Rising says:

    I will never look at a boob the same way again.

    Let me guess. His phone number isn’t 55378008, right? (Must be read upside down. Sorry – Couldn’t resist.)

  29. Tracy says:

    L-Italja ghandhom lil Zobbi u Malta ghandna iz-Zejza.

  30. Johann Aquilina says:

    Leave people alone. It is just a nickname that is there a long time. If you know the person you would know that he will give you his heart if you need it.

    Proud to know you Joe even If I have simpaty to the other party.

    Regards u kull minn jolli idu ikollu xi ixomm. Hope all people understand that all human being get hurt with poisoning tongues.

  31. zaghzugh says:

    I can’t understand why there is all this fuss regarding a nickname.

    I’m from luqa and since in old times they used to name all their children Indri, Guzi, Peppi, Joseph etc, they used to refer to individuals by their nicknames. I mean OK I get it. It is funny because Joe iz-Zejza, but on the other hand I believe that you don’t judge a person on what his name is or what he is called.

    You judge a person on what he does.

    I personally know Joe and he helps a lot old people who do not know how to write and read. What is wrong here that we are judging people, another example of this is like when people make fun of an individual’s name (as if he chose it). I mean next time instead of writing something and just clicking the submit comment just try to know who you are trying to mock.

  34. M.Mangion.. I wrote it like that because some coward left his name… “this chap positioned himself strategically outside the polling station and ushered people in with the magical words: “Sinjuri tħallux iż-Żejża barra!”…would you believe it.”

    Joe Camilleri is one of the most dedicated persons in terms of council. I live in luqa and experience the daily problems which the council encounters. Mr Camilleri is a very handy and practical man and If you M.Mangion live in luqa you know what I’ m talking about. Mr Camilleri is a dedicated man and the only thing that instigates him for the election is for the progress which constantly is being made thanks to him..Honestly I don’t know what you are trying to describe by saying this cheap…Honestly you are making fun of a person, and you don’t even know what education is …Go learn

  35. otherside says:

    I can understand the humor here but some of the comments are simply evil, don’t judje a person simply by his nickname, this is a very ugly typical maltese way to disrespect people you don’t know, i think luqa people would appreaciate much more a Joe z zejza then the current useless major wasting luqa’s time, get serious

    [Daphne – ‘Evil’. Is this the word du jour?]

  36. Johann Aquilina says:

    Dear all above, especially the person who started this, just a small note since after the election no one wrote again, mr. Joe Camilleri is again in the counsile. Yes that person that much of you start calling him names, his tit is IN. Now be brave and check yours maybe now you have your out.

    Nice one Joe. Keep it up and do your job as you always done.

    Johann Aquilina
