    My reaction exactly. I don’t think it was Nicholas Sammut.

    I wonder who called them to point out the mistake: either a terrified Nicholas Sammut or an irate and hysterical JPOS.

    Ma jmurx in-nies jahsbu li Gonzi nehhieh minn chairman.

      Ma nafx x’qieghed jistann Dr. Gonzi biex itajru minn hemm. Bill dan ic-“cairman” ghandu hafna erf.

      Nahseb li xi kultant jisthajjel li hu Einstein. Nahseb li hu kien wara s-sejba ta’ “New particle found, consistent with Higgs boson” il-gimgha li ghaddiet.

    Thank God he wasn’t marooned somewhere in Sicily.

    No big surprise. After all he still wants to hang on in there and might just make it to being re-appointed should Joseph become PM – he did give him a friendly welcome on one of the recent image building visits .

      He got to know of the discovery via the article no doubt. Git.

      I wouldn’t be so sure that a Labour government would re-appoint him. I don’t see of what use he could be to them at that point.

      He will probably find out that he is of no use to Carmen either.

    Can I just add that Nicholas Sammut is a wonderful scientist. He’s the sort of man JPO can never aspire to be – talented, humble and very clever.
