Phones which ring when they’re off

Published: January 12, 2012 at 9:07am

And incidentally, the GF was on set, ringing and texting. Probably ringing and texting her BF, using that old trick to make somebody seem important. Or in this case, just plain ridiculous.

    One hopes that his mobile is not an LG.

    Titkexkex tiftakar dawn l-affarjiet.

    Pero’ Richard Muscat mhux daqs John Dalli kien bata (u lanqas daqs Franco Debono). Dalli miskin mhux talli qieghed il-boghod minn pajjizu, talli kif qal hu ‘qed jiskonta sentenza’ li Richard ma sofrix.

    Min jaf x’jistenna Johnny biex jerga’ jipprova jilhaq kap tal-PN, waqt li qed jiskonta s-sentenza tieghu.

    U l-istess bhal ma Richard kellu l-partit jahdem ghalih minn Malta, Johnny ghandu lil Franco Debono jahdem ghalih minn hawn.

    u ghajjar lil lou giddieb ghax qallu li qed jara l-messaggi li qed jidhlulu u wara ftit ammetta li kien qed jarhom…ma temminx

    Or to disrupt the interview.

    Joseph did the same with Eddie Fenech Adami.

    As a ‘journalist’ , he preferred to scribble slogans on A4 sheets of paper and hold them up to the cameras, thinking this would faze him.

    They think we don’t notice. Raphael Vassallo didn’t.

    or using a call me back app…

    Anke mitfi qied idoqq! Dan miraklu!

    Mela l-ewwel darba li jitla l-Italja jista jibqa sejjer il-Vatikan u jghid lil Papa b’dan, forsi jkolnha qaddis iehor Malti.

    What a jumped up twat. Not only is the little twerp a blackmailer but he is also ill-mannered to boot.

  8. Jozef says:

    Does Franco think Italians will remain in awe at his young age?

    Maurizio Crozza, comedian, had this to say to Matteo Renzi, mayor of Florence, self proclaimed enfant terrible of the Italian left, challenging the leadership.

    Dr Debono is very modest. I cannot imagine someone like him in UK politics. Boasting about oneself in the UK is a big faux pas.

  10. C Falzon says:

    It is evident that his phone has been hacked as can be understood from the click one hears just before it starts ringing. It is a despicable tactic to make him look stupid.

    He should request that the Speaker of the House and the Police Commissioner, and perhaps the Archbishop as well, why not, urgently investigate this heinous assault on democracy.

  11. John Schembri says:

    He’s a high achiever but he does not know how to turn a mobile phone off.

  12. Jack says:

    I will say this about Franco’s performance on Bondi+: he made Anglu Farrugia look good.

    I rest my case.

    The author of the linked piece (whoever s/he is) wrote, “Seriously, I would rather stick pins in my eyes than read your butchered English”.

    S/he then proceeded to butcher the rest of his/her blog with, for example, “irrelevant” instead of “irrespective”, wrong conjugation of the conditional mood (“if I was” instead of “if I were”) and says “will” where s/he should have said “would”. Or how about “responds” instead of “answers” or “is answerable to”?

    I gave up after that because the whole piece is riddled with bad grammar, so I hope the author does not really think badly of others’ writing; I hope also that s/he does not intend his piece to set standards for English grammar.

    I hope I don’t sound like some menopausal “schoolmarm” but this is a genuine case of the pot calling the kettle black. Brush up please sir/madam, whoever you are. If one of my grandchildren were to write as poorly as that, I would be extremely disappointed.

      The above comment is a reply to Joel’s post containing the link http://complaints.com.mt/maltese-government/franco-debono/ which I followed, only to find a very poorly-written piece shooting down someone else’s poor writing.

      The author is not identified, but I felt s/he should make more of an effort before bombastically flaming someone else’s language skills.

      My post seems to have become disjointed by not appearing as a reply to that comment. This renders it unspecific insofar as my reference to “the author of the linked piece” is concerned.

      [Daphne – If you click Reply, it comes up as a reply. You might simply have posted it directly beneath the comment, but when you do that, other comments posted before yours and not yet uploaded will come between them, given that comments are chronological. So always, if you wish to reply to something, use the Reply box.]

      If it is not too much trouble, would you be so kind as to add this post as a footer to my previous one, or perhaps edit the earlier post by inserting “@ Joel January 12, 2012 AT 9:19 PM” as a header, for the sake of putting my comment in perspective.

      I offer my thanks in anticipation, as always.

      [Daphne – I can’t really do that, no.]

        No problem, madam; uploading my message is the same but different (if you’ll pardon my oxymoron).
