Il-Guy: he’s actually outlasted the bandiera tal-Partit Laburista. Perhaps, like a cockroach, he’ll survive even nuclear fall-out.

    I remember seeing photos of his yacht moored just off the Tunny Net when he accidentally forgot to report his re-entry into Maltese waters and unload suspicious boxes the size of TVs.

    Someone out there must have a copy.

    I see that even the left parting of his hair has survived the downfall of Mintoff, the fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, the two wars on Iraq, the war on Afghanistan, Malta’s accession to the EU, and the liberation of Libya.

    It’s the same old Karmenu Vella, every inch of him.
