Luciano Busttil must have been reading an airport novel, and thought this bit was really good. And here’s another intellectual. But this intellectual is actually holding his (second-hand) airport novel.

…. must have been thinking of the movement il-gdid

I live in another area of Tarxien within reach of a garden. The youths (coming mainly from St.Lucia and Paola) are rowdy, callous, noisy, and damn well a nuisance….
We have been denied quiet nights for years on end. We even changed our bedroom location with the kitchen to be able to sleep….
Cars revving, monkey music thumping through cars, swearing, litter, beer bottles and pizza boxes on the doorstep, peeing on trees…. Yeah… Can’t wait for summer and the thrash to start piling in the gardens again….
Afternoons are shattered by the annoying buzz of ‘engined’ bicycles with no muffler…. Living here is a breeze.
At least we haven’t found syringes yet this year…
Looks like il-Ministru tas-Sawt has a lot to do to ‘civilize’ some of ‘his’ people. Full article here:

Oh look, he’s wearing red.
It’s burnt orange, actually, a colour that was last fashionable for pool-side cushions in the 1970s.
Well, Luciano, how shall I put it. All men are expendable but some are more expendable than others.
At least, Manny knows how to hold a book. You have to give that to him. And, it’s so cute he shows us his little kids in the picture which is semi-out-of-focus in the background.
How ugly is that frame?
He had to show off his grandchildren in the background.
[Daphne – Those are not his grandchildren, Edgar. Those are his twin sons, which he had with a mail order bride from Eastern Europe.]
If those are his twins in the photograph behind him, what on earth was he thinking, having children roughly at the same time he got his KartaAnzjan? It’s quite unfair on the children, depriving them of a normal childhood.
Shouldn’t the one holding the book be writing his memoirs?
Oh, he’s reading Presumed Innocent! Why not The Spy Who Came in From the Cold?
Never would have guessed that he had twins at his age and also never knew that mail-order brides come with twins thrown in.
[Daphne – First he got the mail-order bride (well, to be honest, I don’t know if he actually married her), then he fathered the twins. Now a nanny pushes them around Hastings in their double-buggy because daddy’s too old, fat and tired to do it himself.]
If daddy’s too old, fat and tired to do it himself – how do you know he’s the daddy?
[Daphne – Maybe the postman round Hastings is a gingernut, who knows. But of course he’s the daddy. Someone like him will have made sure of that before he forked out a cent.]
Speaking of intellectuals, here’s another:

John Zammit took your “eccentric maverick” euphemistic description of him to mean “intellectual”. And he went on to proudly display it on his coma-inducing website, miskin:

Off subject….but very interesting first names.
