					<description><![CDATA[A funny thing happened to me one day.   I was at a government office where loads of people were all bunched up together waiting for a service.   

I went up to them and politely said &#039;who is last  one in the queue&#039;, so as to wait behind that person. They all stared at me thinking I was crackers.   

Finally they realised what I meant and someone did tell me that he/she was the last person to arrive so I queued up behind.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think I got a clue from my memory of what that queue is.  

Do you remember many people queued up for over a weekend nearly two years ago aiming to be reimbursed for the car registration tax?  What is the status on this?  

Is he waiting to be a Prime Minister to reimburse those millions out of our pockets?  

I think that the PN were a bit naive in this as the only party which like to put people in the queue for nothing is PL and the PN should have made on issue out of this.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A perfect picture you managed to create here. 

You just missed something though. A Super One camera with Charlon Gouder asking questions.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - He won&#039;t be there, of course, because the idea, as I gather, is that Labour is in government here.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Magnificent! You captured the Maltese spirit beautifully!

The inability of the average Maltese to stand in a queue has always baffled me. I had been taught since I was a tiny tot that jumping place in a queue is bad, but I realised early on that most people didn&#039;t really get the lesson. 

It reaches a level with me that I am just too embarrassed to stand in this kind of free-for-all known as a Maltese kju. 

If there are more than three people waiting I give it a miss and come by later. Besides, unless you emulate the various shenanigans, shove elderly people aside, step on toes and let rip a good stream of blasphemy there is no way of reaching the head of the queue anyway. So why bother?]]></description>
