Comments on: No wonder Sliema has become unbearable: the chavs all want to cram in there, while the natives have left

Would Dr. Busuttil and all parents who accompany their children to playgrounds forget all about their mobile phones and other gadgets and enjoy some moments in the company of their kids?

It seems that certain politicians use their families only as a means of propaganda.

I take my 2 year-old daughter to the swings at Torri and the ‘new’ playground at the other end of Gnien Indipendenza (under Peppi’s Kiosk), and God forbid these were to be renovated and modernised like those of Qui-Si-Sana, because otherwise they would be over-run with the offspring of Kieren, Tayrin, Kayden, Sheznaya and Libyan children who are very aggressive in their playfulness just as is the case at the Qui-Si-Sana playground.

The wifi antenna in his cell cellphone is much less powerful than the one inside a laptop – thus the lack of a usable signal.

He doesn’t know how wifi works, that’s all – he’s not an engineer.

But it takes a stupid man to assume no wifi reception simply because HIS phone did not work in a particular area.

He probably thought it was Ghar id-Dud because he felt at home there.

Luciano Busuttil clearly doesn’t know the difference between Ghar id-Dud and Qui-si-Sana. Look on the bright side. At least, he didn’t call it Tigne’, simply because it’s close to The Point.

In reply to cat.

Do you mean “tal-qamel” as an analogy or actual lice, like physically getting bitten when playing, by lice.

I can’t remember ever getting bitten in the Qui-si-sana play park during the mid 80s. Now there were ants and perhaps fleas from the old ladies’ poodles and stray cats, but no lice.

It’s a very sanitised place now, with the chav and chav-nots mingling, funny enough like lice around the oh so trendy beach clubs, but Daph, the chavs we see in Sliema are merely a by product, just as Thatcher had her children Gonzi has had his.

In reply to Top class. For someone whose world lies between the Mile End and il-Parlament, venturing beyond is 'new' to him. He should crawl back to the Sqaq tal-Qasab across from the red glasshouse.

In reply to mandango70. He probably has no friends to play with. He only has the one and only alternative.
