Dr. Franco was just playing to the gallery when he kept on asking where Dr.Gonzi was.

He knew perfectly well, as all of us did, that he must have gone to someone’s kitchen, as he had told us he will be doing.

We were always thought that the early missionaries used to go to the countries of the pagans to preach. They wouldn’t have achieved anything if they only preached to their followers.

Dear Daphne,

Believe it or not I pride myself on being able to bring the best out of you.

The way you manage to get yourself out of some tricky situations is great.

However I am sure that you could, sometimes, realise that you might be wrong. I don’t expect you to admit it – after all, that’s a woman’s prerogative.

By the way, I liked to-day’s article in The Malta Independent.

[Daphne – When I know I’m wrong, Silvio, I admit it. I have no problem doing that at all. Mine is not a fragile ego. If it were, I would be dust by now.]

johnnie sigarri, il-kritika is healthy and encourages us to be more professional in our ways.

Yes, to me he looked like an overconfident salesman. He wanted to give us the impression of a goodie-goodie.

Those tactis don’t work today.

On the other hand, a good salesman can even convince you to buy bananas that grow on coconut trees.

[Daphne – It’s not the salesmen you should be concerned with, Silvio. It’s the clients. The man selling bananas which grow on coconut palms is likely to be the next prime minister. Is that what you want?]

“Franco has taken the role as the leader of the Opposition. ”

Are you suggesting that the Hon. Mary Mifsud might after all become Malta’s first woman prime minister?

If I’m not mistaken, not even the Opposition MPs were present so Franco Debono was talking to himself, more or less.

He did not sound hysterical. He used no teleprompter. His answers were to the point and there was no beating about the bush.

Joseph should try that sometime since he often sounds like he’s trying to sell Burmarrad vegetables.

You made a fool of yourself.

Go now, your days in parliament and as a politician are numbered.

No party will take you as a candidate.

Your way of doing things is not right.
