“Anke ahna se nghaddu minna din, Dward.”
“Tfakkarnix.”
“Min jaf Franco kemm se jghir u jsabbat saqajh la jarana hawn. Nilghab rasi li jkun irid funeral statali ghalih ukoll.”
“Which one of us is next?”
Good God, lady. Let the man rest in peace. Haven’t you vilipended enough?
Who said that, Eddie or Ugo?
“If they’d given him an enema they could have saved some money and used a matchbox. He’d have approved.”
(filched from Christopher Hitchens in reference to Jerry Falwell)
“Tghid iqum is-Salvatur, Dward? Illum it-tielet jum.”
Ma tifilhux taqaw an nejk. titkelmu hekk ax ma turux min intom, mux bhal dik lagba dcg, ax dik xebat tghix
U int min int, please?
Int ma tiflahx taqa ghan-nejk MARSI? Tikkundanna dan il-blog u fl-istess hin tibqa tidhol u tikummenta?
Paradossjali! (jew trid nispjegalek xi tfisser?)
Ghax ma turix min inti int?
good one !
I nominate you as the winner of this competition.
Prosit.
Hmmm, he’s had a bath at last
Epic!
Ma jergax ikun iehor bhalu…..nispera!
“Dward, ghid il-verita, jaqaw ma tantx kont tmur tajjeb fis-somom meta kont Form 2? Is-somma li hdimt fuq Mintoff anke t-tfal indunaw li gibtha hazina.”
Ugo, kelli nghidilhom li kellu iktar pozittiv milli negattiv ghax bzajt li jibda jidhirli bil-lejl, liebes il-kuruna tar-ruzarju.
Eddie ftakar li Sant kellu jirrizenja minhabba f’Mintoff, dik kienet li qalbet il-mizien in-naha tal-keffa t-tajba.
Imkien fil-maratona ta’ elogji fuq Mintoff fuq is-Super One ma’ ssemma li kien minhabba f’Mintoff li Sant ma setghax jiggverna.
“They’ve forgotten the wooden stake.”
“Tghid niccekkja jekk hux vera mejjet, Ugo, ma tmurx tkun xi cunning plan iehor tal-Labour biex jigu fuq ix-xandir?”
Don’t worry. I’ve brought some garlic.
Neither Ugo Mifsud Bonnici nor Eddie Fenech Adami normally speak in English.
Ara kemm jitkellem hazin kieku iqum u isib il kuruna ma idejh.
Tfilhu tivumtaw iktar valen dwar bniedem mejjet
[Daphne – Is that a caption suggestion, or a plain old insult?]
Ii is no rocket science to understand that Fenech Adami was making sure that he doesen’t say anything that would increase the division that we have in Malta.
It was his life mission to put an end to all the hatred that exists between us.
He should be commended for what he said and it takes a great statesman to give ,shall I call ,praise,to the man who caused him so much personal anguish.
But repeating what Mahatma Gandhi
It takes a great man to forgive……
[Daphne – You can only forgive your enemies when they are vanquished for ever, Silvio. Unlike Ghandi’s British colonialists, the sordid Labour Party as a potential government remains a reality.]
Daphne, you are a disgrace to the Maltese society and I’m surprised than PN haven’t distanced themselves from your comments full of hatred and which are inciting hatred. You should take a leaf out of our president’s behavior and attitude towards trying to unite all Maltese people. Instead you try to create a division between fellow Maltese people. I wonder how you feel so elevated and superior to the ‘hamalli’ u refer to, when your words prove otherwise. I hope you are not so limited to believe that the word ‘dick’ you use in one of your articles, is less rude than its Maltese equivalent just because its in English. Anyone reading here kindly understand that Daphne’s views do not represent the views of all PN sympathizers. An before you ask, I lived during the Mintoff years
On the contrary. Daphne is the only one who can bring the nation together. On this blokk.
Tom, Dick and Harry.
Dik frazi pastaza hafna, hux veru?
Colin, you really need to understand the term ‘personal opinion’
By all the gods in heaven, and you call me, a FASCIST.
” vanquished for ever”, sounds like something from Mein Kampf.
[Daphne – Not at all. It merely means that Gandhi could talk about forgiveness and so on because the British weren’t coming back to India. Imagine if he had to fight them off every five years. He wouldn’t be talking about forgiveness then, would he. Let’s say a woman has a violent husband of whom she is terrified. Does she forgive him when 1. he’s living in the same house and beating her up; 2. has been evicted from the house but is still hanging about and threatening her; or 3. when he has backed off, found Christ, begins doing charity work, stops drinking and leaves her alone. I trust you can see that the correct answer is 3.]
Perfect analogy.
And tell me exactly how Gandhi’s British colonists were vanquished for ever, Daphne. They just changed.
[Daphne – Sorry, I forgot you people take things literally. I meant they were out of the picture, which they were. Gandhi could afford to forgive the British after they’d packed up and left India. He certainly didn’t forgive them before they did that. That was my point. The Labour Party are there all the time, threatening to come back and govern. Therefore it’s impossible to forgive and forget.]
As have labourites over 20 years. Only someone as full of hatred as yourself cannot get over what happened. I’d vote for neither party, but your one-sided bigotry almost (and I stress that) tempts me to vote labour just to annoy you.
[Daphne – People who say that have made up their minds to vote Labour (and probably always did so) and are just looking for an excuse. What they don’t seem to understand is how very childish and under-developed it makes them sound. I’d think twice about saying that in public if I were you. You really don’t want people to think you’re mentally deficient.]

Here’s someone who deserves a state funeral and acres of newsprint:

“Il-vera hxejtha, meta’ ghidt li dan il-bastid ghamel il-gid.”
Iktar Gonzi bahnan, mela dan kien haqqu funeral statali; dan ta’ min tefawh l-mizbla.
LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS, SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST
[Daphne – Imma kif dejjem tridu ddahhlu r-religjon? Mhux suppost progressivi u liberali intom? Kemm ghadkom lura, jahasra.]
At least not a hypocrite, who at the age of 60+ became a ‘liberal’ beacuse she has a few token gay friends at Super One.
You have become a joke, Anna, unlike your sisters who were and remain decent.
bhal ma kontu tamlu intom in nazzjonalisti titfawom gol mizbla a pufta
I was lucky I never needed any politician , so I never had to cross swords with any one .At least Dom Mintoff balanced out the bad that he did when he really became our saviour by outmanouvering Dr. Alfred Sant out of government to let Malta resume its road into the European Union ( Integration of sorts), so he still got almost what he wanted , integration with Europe and through the PN, so whether we like it or not all of us owe him something, for better or worse……
possibbli hadd ma kellu bajd biz-zejjed biex imur isibu u jghidlu f’wiccu, dak li qeghdin tiktbu….l-istedina li tmorru fuq il-qabar taghmlu dak li ghidtu ghadha miftuha !!!
Mintoff the legend, is now a movie in 3D
should we laugh, spineless bastard hiding behind a false name
In-nies civili Maltin mhumiex bhal dawk is-Socjalisti li marru jkissru il-qabar t’omm Lawrence Gonzi.
Damn right!
rajthom u m’ghamilt xejn ? spineless bastard hiding behind a keyboard.
[Daphne – How about you tell us your real name, mintoff the legend, and stop being so spineless?]
“Ma kienx salvatur mela ghax miet bhal kulhadd u ma qamx wara tletti jiem.”
“Int imiss”
Xjah u miet u baqa qatt ma sar president
YOU DO REALISE THAT A PRESIDENT IS ACTUALLY A DEMOTION AFTER BEING PRIME MINISTER .
president issir biss jekk tkun tradejt lil gorg borg olivier
“Dward, tghid ghandu bokla kbira taht il-glekk?”
Ara kif qed jinhall il-foundation fuq in-naha tax-xellug – jaqaw tqammlu u uzaw make-up skadut li xtraw bil-bulk buying?

Trab konna u trab irridu nsiru.
Id-dinja fruwa, u l-mewt, bhat-twelid, huma l-gustizzja t’ Alla.
May everybody rest in peace.
Jista xi hadd jghidilna jekk Mintoff talabx xi forma ta skuza tal-hazin li ghamel jew haseb li kull ma ghamel kien kollox sewwa.
Canon, prosit ta’ din id-domanda. Sa fejn naf jien, Mintoff qatt ma talab l-ebda skuza lil min hu kien ghamel il-hsara.
To all our Nationalist brothers and sisters:
How does it feel knowing that you all have contributed from your hard payed tax for a State Funeral ?
Damn it feels so good knowing that even though you hate Mintoff so much, together we paid for all this. THANK YOU
At this time, what is the point for the PL to Govern having such a generous and kind PM. First a President from our side, now State Funerals for our Leaders. Dr Gonzi, we shall never forget….THANK YOU SIR
ps: payback it’s such a bitch :)
See, Esopu? That’s real statesmanship for you. Your lot, on the other hand, believe government exists for your tesserati alone.
“X’tahseb, Ugo, did the good outweigh the bad?”
Min jixtieq Id-deni l-garu jigi f’daru u Alla ma jhallas b’nhar ta’ sibt.
“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. …”
“Tghid jghaddi mill-metal detector tal-genna b’dik il-bokkla?”
“U issa toqghodx tfettaq. Allahares jibghatuh lura…”
I believe Mintoff would not have liked this scene at all. Dr E Fenech Adami looking down on him as he lies there dead in his coffin.
I am convinced that he was grossly obsessed with Dr E Fench Adami.
This is because the very first time that Dr Fenech Adami contested the election as PN’s leader – Mintoff lost the majority and never recovered it.
So much so that he had, against his wish, to find a substitute (Dr Zero), since he said that “without the majority of the people he wouldn’t have governed”.
“Nahseb li kien hemm izjed nies fil-funeral ta’ Raymond Caruana.”
”Tghid jekk tmisslu il-but, iqum ghalijja?”
Tghid il-Gvern se jdahhal xi haga mill wirt tieghu jew ra kif ghamel biex jevita it-taxxa.
The bastatd finally looks peaceful
