Today, 10:10

Mr. Mayor.. I happen to be a sliema boy, and I support the PL as past nieghbours, do you think that your argument holds water? Ask any women in the kitchen and you will get your answer, with Mr. Galea in your council you can never get the group together.
This is a typical PN.. Standards.

An ex GWU officer made it public during a university class that his former collegue Josephine Attard Sultana should stay at home looking after her children because that is the place she belongs to.

Mindu bdew jappogaw u jiddefendu lill- PL marru lura bhal granc. Xi kultant nahseb li t-Times qed tigi stampata ghand tal-GWU u qed tittiehed mill-injoranza.

How thoughtful, as always.

I’m sure cows and hens in particular have to endure far worse working conditions than their male counterparts. Who better than the GWU to stand up for them?

I think they are catered for within the Social Animal and Media Welfare Section of the General Workers Union.

It’s pretty much like the infamous “nephews and nieces” used incorrectly instead of “grandchildren” in obituaries, etc.

[Daphne – I don’t have an opinion. I can only tell you the facts. If the phone were mine, I would have been glad of the decision to search the other passengers, though hugely embarrassed. And if the phone were not mine, I would have been very annoyed.]

The GWU proposes to change it to “Females Day”, so that along with women, all female animals can celebrate and that includes female creatures like, crabs, shrimps, snails, and all those other species Toni Zarb is familiar with at his favourite restaurants.
