Oh yes it does. Go on, find me one counterexample.

With money you only pull prostitutes for fake sex. Being rich and single does not automatically mean gay.

If he earns good money he should be pulling. Madam, your son is gay.

Er, “rat il-mewt”? Is Mater Dei that bad?

I don’t think Joseph Carmel Chetcuti is at war with his sexuality. He is at war with his age. He can no longer pick up the pretty boys without paying for them.

He likes S & M, so he comes here and reads what you write, to punish himself because he can no longer persuade anybody to let him in to their Red Room of Pain.

Mintoffjan ahdar injorant: despite being in Awstralja, he is still ‘wara il-muntanji ta’ Malta.’

And Daphne, Franco Debono at least did us a favour. He brought about the resignation of Dr Carm Mifsud Bonnici, who was not fit for that ministry and better suited for Tal-Muzew.

Re: your comment to Natalie. Do you regularly hear whooshing sounds fractionally over-head?

I would like him to marry, but he has not found the right one yet.

I am afraid that if he marries he will not be mine anymore, knowing what women are.

Being a bachelor or a spinster is a better state to be than being unhappily married.

[Daphne – I’m afraid that if you carry on this way your son will stay single, fail to reveal to you that he is not single but in a relationship with another man, or eventually get married only to have it end in tension and disaster because of you. So if you love your son in the way that a mother should, which is not the same way that A Woman does, you will back off. And stop seeing other women as competition: they’re NOT competition, unless your love is also Eros and you see in him a substitute husband rather than a son, in which case it’s dysfunctional. What’s wrong with ‘serving’ your 35-year-old son? I could rattle off a lengthy list, but what’s the point. Your son is not ‘yours’ to begin with. He is a separate human being and you’re not married to him. Jesus.]

Sewwa qallek dap u alaqlek halqek u ir risposta tiak ma. Tghamilx sens .

[Daphne – The shortened form of my name is Daph, not dap. The ‘F’ sound is denoted by the ‘h’ tucked in after the ‘p’.]

Hi Daphne, jien m’iniex xi fan ta’ Franco Debono u u issa veru dejjaqni bil-hdura li hierga minn go fih, pero, nistaqsik, x’fiha hazin li tibqa tghix ma ommok, dik li rat il-mewt biex gabitek fid-dinja u biex tiehu hsiebha? X’biza hemm li tghix ma dik il-mara li vera thobb. Ghalija l-unika mara li thobbok vera hija l-OMM u m’hawnx mara li thobb ragel aktar mill-thobb l-omm. Jiena mizzewweg u missier u l-uliedi inhobbhom bl-istess imhabba li habbitni ommi Daphne. Melaq ma hemm xejn tal-biza.

[Daphne – Your words pretty much sum up the sick attitude that has bred generations of screwed-up Maltese men and destroyed or damaged thousands of marriages or relationships. If you’re married and have children but still talk about your mother in these tones, warning-bells should be going off in your head. It’s absolutely appalling – and I speak as the mother of three sons. Throughout the animal kingdom, and that includes human beings, the sole purpose of a mother is to raise her young to fend for themselves effectively and safely, and as soon as possible. If your children are still living with you at 40, through choice and not force of circumstance, then by definition you have failed as a parent.]
