Thank God, someone else didn’t understand it. I wasn’t alone in my ignorance.

“state of the yard” – l-istat tal-bitha.

Mela, nibdew, jekk il-bitha hija miksija bil-konkos, allura stat tajjeb jitlob li l-konkos ma jkunx mixquq ghax wiehed jista jiehu xi zelqa, jew gambetta. Il-bitha ghandha tkum imdawwra bil-qsari bix-xitel tal- geranju w sardinell. Allura il-bitha tkun fi stat tajjeb.

Jekk il-bitha tkun miksija bil-haxix (turf), allura biex tkun fi stat tajjeb ma jridx ikun kemm haxix hazin u l-haxix ghandu jinqata ghall inqas darba fil-gimgha biex jaghti dehra sabiha.

Imma zomm ftit. Ergajt qrajt dak li harbex is-sur Micallef u taghni x’nahseb li kien qed jirreferi ghal Mater Dei.

Forsi ried jghid “State of the art”? Zgur li ha zball bil-ghagla w l-herqa li kellu biex jikkummenta fuq il-hajt tal-bitha ta Anglu!

Dak il-habib taghna ried jistaqsi lil Anglu Farrugia x’kien jigri fil-bitha tad-Depot tal-Pulizija meta Anglu Farrugia kien spettur, forsi jghidlu li kienu jitfaw in-nies bi ksur f’gisimhom rashom l-isfel fit-tankijiet mimlijin bil-gir. Imma Anglu Farrugia miskin dejjem onest kien u ma’ jafx b’dawn l-affarijiet.

cat, the real problem lies in the fact that when this gentleman becomes Ministru tas-Sawt, he will have access to public money, which is your money and my money. He will not be asking for anything on his wall.

Raymond Micallef

Thanks to doris I had a laugh this morning after reading her comment.

(mur gib lil Mintoff joqghod jittallab il-kitarri).

Is this part of his political campaign? It’s like when he delivers medicine and other goods to the elderly in Paola to get their No.1 vote. Does this mean that he is a good politician? Having a heart of gold is a virtue, but has nothing to do with politics.

When I left Malta and began to live elsewhere, the first thing I did was join the City Angels. One of my duties was delivering medicine to the housebound who have no support from neighbours, family or friends. It’s more or less what Mr. Parnis does in his normal life. “Allura x’naghmel naghtiha ghall-politika?”
