“…but that puny jerk has made damned sure his marriage, his need for divorce and his demands to marry his girlfriend so that he can take her to papal masses on the Floriana granaries became matters of national interest.”

Tal-ghageb! Talk of squaring a triangle to make a circle.

No matter how many words you twist and turn, JPO will still be the man who pulled it off. Surely even you can see that as it sits right in the centre of your tiny box.

If a former wife tries desperately to get an annullment and fails, then has to take the second-best option – divorce – should she still maintain the right to use her first husband’s name, a name she claims had nothing to do with her?

[Daphne – Yes, of course. If you were married, you were married, end of story. But surely if a former wife were so desperate to have the marriage annulled, then she wouldn’t want her husband’s surname. Maybe she only tried to get the marriage annulled because there was no divorce, and actually only wanted to end the marriage and not have it declared as never having existed. Anyway, a married woman is technically Mrs John Borg, while a divorced woman is Mrs Mary Borg. Anyway, I find it strange that women with children would want to reject their husband’s surname, because in so doing they are making a statement about their relationship to their children, too, but they don’t seem to understand this.]

In reply to Jacky. Half a brain? One apoptotic brain cell shared by five more likely.

“not at Monte Kristo vineyards, I trust, like all the other Labour weddings and festivities of the last three years or so.”
Where do you expect Labour weddings to take place in the President’s Palace? It is only the PN who can hold their weddings receptions and other private functions in Government buildings. I wonder who paid for these weddings; was it the spouses or the Maltese nation?

[Daphne – Labour weddings do currently take place at the presidential palace, Jacky. Or hadn’t you noticed. Have half a brain, vote Labour.]

In reply to edgar.

In other words Malta Today are daring Franco to vote against his government , so that the 39% would add up to the 26% and ’the people’ would be represented.

In reply to Angus Black. 'But what if the rocket meant to bring them back suffers a N Korean setback and never reaches the space station?' How is that a problem, pray?

In reply to ciccio. But what if the rocket meant to bring them back suffers a N Korean setback and never reaches the space station? One big problem inadvertently solves another?

In reply to ciccio. Never can tell, Ciccio. Maybe Jeffy will be carrying more than botox in his panties. I'm sure his 'betrothed' is anticipating at least a small explosion.

Malta Today on line survey:

As things currently stand, do you find Franco Debono to be credible?

No: he is threatening government stability for being left out of the Cabinet. 25%

Yes: he is campaigning on much-needed legal and judicial reforms. 26%

No: unless he votes against the Budget measures bill of 9 May. 39%

I don’t care about Franco Debono. 10%

26% of voters think that Franco is credible, 65% think otherwise.
