“But in the 1970s, Mr Kim was in Malta to learn English, possibly as part of an exchange that included a secret agreement between the Labour government and the North Korean regime for the provision of military training and weapons.”

“Warrbu minn nofs ghamlulna l-wisgha, meta taraw lilna gejjin…..Ma taghmlu xejn mal-Perit Mintoff” was probably a ‘song’ which the young student liked.

I also thought of conducting missionary work among the poor benighted heathens of the Urals.

My ADC has flown on ahead, to make “logistical arrangements.” As CEO of Expire and Marathon du Pastis finisher I must do this for the greater glory of myse—- er, of God.

Ah, I haven’t been to Brazil as yet, that’s why. I conduct my missionary work in more turbulent areas.

And this was the honour foisted on a visiting head of state?

My God – and we thought his friend Ceaucescu was a big head!

No wonder the rocket went kaboom over their heads – they should have tried a Desserta factory to impress the free world with their engineering prowess – ftit cikkulata, naqa minn dan, naqa minn dik – voila cikkulata ghall aristokrazija tal-haddiema.

Does anyone have a clip of the awful Xandir Malta deserta slot – just to refresh my memory and let my kids laugh at us for being so … cwiec.

Sewwa qal Giulio Andreotti : “Venditore di tappeti”.

Lanqas Beelzebub ma jridu.
