What’s wrong with using a mobile during a TV show? Don’t we do this all the time? At church, during lectures, whilst waiting at a clinic, at the dinner table, on the loo, some of us even whilst driving (now that’s wrong!)… What makes a TV show different?
And by the way, Lou Bondi was viewing a tablet (I think it was the iPad), wasn’t he?
I am still not getting why the perspective of Franco Debono is being focused on his mobile usage habits rather than on the political matters highlighting bad management by the government.
[Daphne – You cannot be serious. Such vast ignorance.]
What do you think Bondi is doing on his tablet? Playing angry birds? He’s using it to keep track of his questions and the information he’d like to present (I presume).
Franco rudely calls him a liar and whines because Bondi points out his phone keeps ringing. After he makes such a scene that he just turned it on and off quickly, it rings again and again and again. Each time refusing to apologize.
And yes it is RUDE to have your phone on or even on the table during such interviews.
The interviewer has a short time to ask what he/she needs to ask and has prepared for the interview, so they should be given your undivided attention. It is not a chat with your friend at home on the sofa, it’s an interview.
@Rino Borg, probably Franco Debono was following, through receiving SMS, what was occurring at the PN headquarters, where the Nationalists’ elite were discussing how to tackle him off.
I think it is more rude to try to ridicule someone who is showing us that “the Emperor has no clothes”, and misdirect us into these negligible issues compared to what really matters: good governance.
[Daphne – More fool you, then. And because there are so many of you, the rest of us get the politicians you deserve.]
i dont think gonzi and his fellowship of power will be happy with you if you continue with personal attacks ..better pay attention to what your beloved leaders say ;)
If he doesn’t she still has nothing to be worried about. This happens to be someone’s personal blog in case you haven’t noticed. If you or your fellow dimwits find anything objectionable you are free to ignore it. It’s not like anyone is forcing you to read the ‘ħdura’ and the ‘velenu’.
Now, if you had said that Lou was taken aback by Franco’s unexpected diatribe, I would have agreed with you, but to say that it is the norm to have a cell phone switched on during a live T.V. debate…. you really do take the biscuit.

Well maybe you’re right after all… this blog isn’t to be taken too seriously :)

We? Who is we? Please speak for yourself, Jesmond.
Some call this blog a waste of time. But sometimes its pretty funny to see you fuming around. Its even better than youtube.
[Daphne – I never ‘fume around’, D. Said. There are some cultural crossed wires here. I’m taking the piss.]
The sad thing is that there are so many of you with a vote.
The Swedes are impressed with Franco’s struggle and invite him to come over..

Mr. Jesmond Bonello… you are being sarcastic, I hope.
Wait.. you have got to be.

I see Godwin’s law at work.
“Nothing kills humor like a general and boring truth.” … sincere apologies for interrupting the humor then.
