In reply to JoeM. Very true - this transcript is riddled with mistakes.

Oops sorry, I just now realise that Baxxter has already said just about the same thing. Expressed somewhat more eloquently.

“Gieli nsaqsi lil vann tal-haxix ‘kemm hu ghali l-haxix??’ Hawn nies li m’ghandhomx biex jaghmlu borma haxix. Bil-gass li tahli biex issajjar, iktar konvenjenti li tixtri u tiekol fast food.”

This has to be one of the most ridiculous things he ever said.

Does his wife use a whole cylinder of gas to boil some vegetables?

A 15Kg gas cylinder costs about 25 euros. How many McDonalds burgers or fast food pizzas can you buy with 25 euros?

Perhaps the one thing he inherited from Alfred Sant is his defective pocket calculator.

In reply to Hibernating from Malta.

Alas as the great Bob Dylan once said;

“People don’t stand up for what they believe in; they do what’s convenient and then they repent.”

In reply to Jack. Correction: Youth spread. [Daphne - Like something you'd have on toast.]

“Hija kwistjoni ta’ edukazzjoni u social trends – m’ghandniex nikkundanaw lil-genituri li jitmawhom hazin! – ghax jista jkun li hija pressjoni finanzjarja.

Gieli nsaqsi lil vann tal-haxix ‘kemm hu ghali l-haxix??’ Hawn nies li m’ghandhomx biex jaghmlu borma haxix. Bil-gass li tahli biex issajjar, iktar konvenjenti li tixtri u tiekol fast food. ”

Oh. My. Effing. Eff. This man is thicker than I imagined.

M’ghandnex nikkundannaw lill-genituri. Mela lil min, IDJOTA?

Kemm hu ghali l-haxix? U kemm hu ghali l-Playstation? U s-sigaretti? U l-corned beef? Gass li tahli biex issajjar? U l-fast food kemm se jimlik?

Ara veru IMBECILLI. Nirrah imutu kollha b’komplikazzjonijiet kardjo-vaskolari, ghax issa zzejjed.

Dawn il-hoxnin piz fuq haddiehor, piz fuq is-sistema tas-sahha, piz fuq is-servizzi socjali. Qabda whining, lying leeches.

In reply to Stephen Borg Fiteni. Well, the "21-year old zaghzugh" who made the transcript for this guest post needs to brush up on his written Maltese big time, in order to qualify for the title of "nies ta' 21 li jafu jiktbu".

So, Alessandra pretends to have sports at heart and asks if there are any schemes to encourage youths to work and train at the same time.

I used the word ‘pretends’ because if she was really interested in sports she would know that there is just such a scheme – the 20/20 Scheme – already.

Dear Joseph naturally doesn’t point this out. That is, if he knows about it.

He didn’t point out either that the ‘idea’ of a sports school will become reality in a couple of months. Maybe he didn’t know? Or maybe he conveniently forgot?

The answer re: obesity is a gem.

Perhaps the Great Leader could lead the way and lose some of his puppy fat.

[Daphne – That’s not puppy fat, Jack. That’s middle-age spread.]

In reply to Hibernating from Malta.

“Is fast food really cheaper than some basic fruit and veg?”

A couple of pastizzi, maybe yes. But for the price of one of Joseph’s favourite burgers, you can feed an entire family with a delicious home-made minestra.

Toni Abela’s nostalgic yearnings for ‘il-borma tfuh tal-Mama’ can still be satisfied for just a few euros.
