But, as clearly demonstrated by his Form II certificate, Franco is a clever chap.

He will only steer up chaos between November and March, when float creators cannot do anything about it.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. And we had Mintoff's... err, sorry, Gaddafi's children's allowances.

I’m amazed at the gall when he expects an apology from his own electors to then call them submissive.

If that’s what he thinks, blessed will be the day when people look forward to carnival for the public mockery of those who should be serving them. No holds barred.

Astrid wasn’t dressed as a virgin martyr when she appeared on One TV with Charlon Gouder last week: black boots and a purple-ish frock, with stringy red hair.

“…while those who deal in political satire or consume it are not lining the streets of Valletta and Floriana every year to watch those carnival floats go by.

They are elsewhere, far from the antithesis of wit, mockery and insight that is the Valletta carnival. And no, I don’t mean the one in parliament.”

I hope you mean that they are on this blog.

Between one recipe and another, Daphne surely dishes out a good dose of political satire.

In reply to el bandido guapo. Me too. It was the only entertainment we had besides Eileen Montesin on our black and white telly. But we were happy, for we were Mintoff's Socialist children.

“…far from the antithesis of wit, mockery and insight that is the Valletta carnival. ”

Oddly, or perhaps not, even when I was at an age where it was assumed that I had an interest in Carnival and hence got dragged there by some well meaning relative, I too found it to be so incredibly under-stimulating.

I did not ever get the point of “il-Karnival” or who exactly was supposed to be enjoying it.
