Photograph of the week
Isn't this the most hilarious picture? Look at the facial expression of the other two.
The Labour Party’s website, Maltastar, tells us this morning that Labour has one of the tallest councillors – you know, because that really makes a difference to your ability to be a councillor, choose the right flowers and flower-pots and stay straight (as opposed to crooked, not ‘queer’).
I found the photograph it used to be most amusing. I noticed long ago that when Maltese men, who are sheltered from the reality of their height by the fact that most other men around them are the same height or shorter while Maltese women, stripped of their five-inch heels which are welded to their feet, are absolutely tiny, are flummoxed when confronted with a man of a height that is pretty ordinary elsewhere but shocking on home ground.
Just as some men who talk to a woman with vast breasts cannot concentrate on what she is saying and end up talking to her chest, so some Maltese men, who are totally unaccustomed to being around other men six inches to a foot taller than they are, visibly cannot concentrate on what they say in conversation.
You can see, clearly, that they are thinking other thoughts entirely. I’d hate to suggest what those thoughts might be, but I can just imagine.
Oh, and Maltastar describes 28-year-old Ian Borg, the tallest councillor, as a lawyer. He isn’t. He’s a law student. Cheats.

I thought nobody was supposed to look down on Joseph.
I’m quite tall. And one of the benefits is that, come election time, both parties can kiss my ass without having to bend down.
We short-arsed bastards have a hard time straining our neck. That’s the look we get ten minutes into a conversation with a tall fellow. And the thought inside their heads would be something like “all men are created equal my ruddy arse.”
“He’s a law student. Cheats.”
U iva – pratikament lawyer mela.
