Mistoqsijiet A1 mit-tim brillanti u hajkless ta’ Joseph Muscat
I think The Times should be poking around the list of questions formally put by MPs in the house rather than poking around Jeffrey’s Facebook wall, which we’re all perfectly capable of doing for ourselves.
Here are two fascinating examples of the hard graft put in by Joseph’s dream team.
Question No. 33245
L-ONOR. NOEL FARRUGIA staqsa lill-Ministru tal-Finanzi, l-Ekonomija u Investiment:
Jista’ l-Ministru jgħid jekk jirriżultalux li fl-istaġun tas-sajf il-pipijiet tad-distribuzzjoni tal-ilma jitwessgħu bis-sħana? Jekk huwa l-każ, dan għaliex?
Question No. 33673
L-ONOR. SILVIO PARNIS staqsa lill-Ministru għall-Infrastruttura, Trasport u Komunikazzjoni:
Jista’ l-Ministru jara jekk jistax isir reserved parking għall-individwu li d-dettalji dwaru qed jintbagħtu separatament, peress li għadu kif ħa l-kura barra minn Malta u jinsab marid?

NOEL FARRUGIA - THE ONLY TURNIP EVER TO HAVE SERVED AS AGRICULTURE MINISTER, IN SANT'S CABINET

Noel, erm yes, it’s called thermal expansion, especially if they’re metal and in direct sunlight.
Remember the bimetallic strip in physics class?
Silvio, that would be for the local council to decide.
Can I sit next to Franco?
Far from being a “Turnip” as you call him, he was a very hardworking minister and if you were to ask all those who dealt with him when he was minister of agriculture they would be only to happy to confirm this.
He meant well and never let political “colour” get in the way he treated everybody.
I wish him all the success he deserves.
Noel Farrugia should have put his question to Charles Buttigieg.
Got to love the gelled hair and kexwil tousled look.
“Jista’ l-Ministru jgħid jekk jirriżultalux li fl-istaġun tas-sajf il-pipijiet tad-distribuzzjoni tal-ilma jitwessgħu bis-sħana? Jekk huwa l-każ, dan għaliex?”
Iva, dan jigri ghaliex fis-shana tas-sajf il-pajpijiet jixorbu hafna ilma u jehxienu xi ftit.
Pero l-Onorevoli Farrugia ghandu iserrah rasu, ghax imbaghad meta ikollna lilu fil-Gvern, fil-pajpijiet ma jkunx hemm ilma, u jergghu jinxfu.
I cannot believe my eyes.
Jista’ l-Ministru jgħid jekk jirriżultalux li fl-istaġun tas-sajf il-pipijiet tad-distribuzzjoni tal-ilma jitwessgħu bis-sħana? Jekk huwa l-każ, dan għaliex?
First of all: pipijiet: plural of PIPI? Urine?
And then, why ask when you already know? Ghaliex jitwessghu bis-shana? A circular question if ever there was one!
There’s something not quite right about this question, though I can’t put my finger on it.
Perhaps it should more properly have been addressed to Charles J Buttigieg. After all, he seems to know a thing or two about pipijiet tad-distribuzzioni tal-ilma li jitwessghu bis-shana.
And these are from Justyne Caruana – same sitting:
32923. L-ONOR. JUSTYNE CARUANA staqsiet lill-Ministru tas-Saħħa, l-Anzjani u l-Kura fil-Komunità: Jista’ l-Ministru jgħid kemm hemm impjegati nisa fil-Ministeru, dipartimenti u entitajiet li jaqgħu taħt id-dekasteru tiegħu li huma minn skala sebgħa ‘l fuq?
and same questions for 5 other ministers:
32924 – Ministru tal-Ġustizzja
32925 – Ministru tal-Intern u Affarijiet Parlamentari
32926 – Ministru għat-Turiżmu, l-Ambjent u l-Kultura
32927 – Ministru tal-Edukazzjoni u x-Xogħol
32928 – Ministru għal Għawdex
Our parliament needs more technocrats and fewer bureaucrats, some of whom barely manage triple digit IQ scores.
The answer for the expaning ‘pipijiet’ can be found in any form 2 science text book. Maybe he should have asked that Prominent Lawyer instead of the Finance Minister.
