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.

Our parliament needs more technocrats and fewer bureaucrats, some of whom barely manage triple digit IQ scores.

In reply to Min Weber.

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.

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!

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.

Noel Farrugia should have put his question to Charles Buttigieg.

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, 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?
