The problem is that they ARE Mr and Mrs Borg but have come to believe that they have upgraded their status to Mr and Mrs Classy (pronounced Klessy). Now they are so confident of their, ahem, high status, they believe they can pretend to be unassuming, ordinary people, without running the risk of actually being seen as such.

She probably meant cauliflower (pastard). That’s the ingredient in soppa tal-armla.

I make my soppa tal-armla without cabbages. I have a solution for Michelle: fill your swimming-pool with soil, save on the pool licence and grow cabbages there instead.

Anzi ma qalitx li tkun qed tghin l-ambjent ghax tonxor il-hwejjeg barra.

I’m sure that she hangs the clothes outdoors on fine days, but when it’s humid, rainy and cloudy she’s the first one to load her dryer.

Whenever I thought of Mrs Muscat I had a mental image of furry slippers, rollers and tears. Now she’s also forever associated with cabbages and gbejniet.
