    Funny way how it ticks chez Brincat.

  2. ciccio says:

    Joseph Brincat has been “winding” his watch the wrong way.

  3. Monte bello says:

    Ajma how funny! Even their clocks are different! Tock tack! Tick thunk! Don’t think!

  4. Min Weber says:

    Tektek tektek karozzin
    minn got-toroq imserrpin
    uri l-hajja taghna
    il-Maltin …

  5. The Phoenix says:

    Imma kemm hawn minn hu injorant, hux!

  6. Edward Clemmer says:

    Normally, tick tock tick tock, like a precison watch.

    But, yes, in this case, as in soon to become a tacky Government: tick tack tick tack.

  7. Noel D'Emanuele. says:

    Hilarious.

  8. David Meilak says:

    The guy who wrote this dosn’t know that tic(k) tac(k) is a mint.

  9. A. Charles says:

    I have heard of The Wind of Change is Blowing but replacing blowing with ticking is abysmal English: but then, what do one expect from people who vote for a 39 year-old PM because the chap feels it’s his time for a move upwards?

  10. Natalie says:

    Be thankful, at least it’s not “Tic Tac, Tic Tac”.

  11. Christian says:

    And the clock is blowing then, I guess.

  12. The chemist says:

    Sounds like an ad for mints. What a tosser.

  13. beauchamp says:

    ……and the clock is blowing !
    raspberry..raspberry…Joseph

  14. Claude Sciberras says:

    In fact they just mentioned on the weather forecast that the wind will be ticking from the north today and later it will tack to the east…

  15. TROY says:

    ……and the clock is blowing.

    • Harry Purdie says:

      The only thing these assholes are good at, with respect to their tick tock comment, is breaking wind. Ever been in a Labour club?

  16. Namaste says:

    How can wind tick?

  17. Rover says:

    That Brincat twat really gets on my ticks.

  18. Crockett says:

    Sheer poetry. Must have been inspired by the croc in Walt Disney’s Peter Pan (although the reference to small breath-mints is somewhat confusing). Move over T.S. Eliot.

  19. canon says:

    Don‘t count your chickens before they are hatched.

  20. P.Zammit says:

    Well 25 years waiting for the wind to blow … he must have been bored sick in the meantime.

  21. Hubert Farrugia says:

    It sounds minty….

  22. Interested Bystander says:

    Like listening to someone whistling about food.

  23. L.Gatt says:

    Brincat must have a special “wind clock” that goes tick tack and not tick tock.

  24. el bandido guapo says:

    “Tack” – How appropriate.

  25. maryanne says:

    And this is from Anglu Farrugia’s FB page.

    “Illum jiena sa nindirizza lill-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi fil-mass meeting f’Ta Qali. Sa jkun diskors ta’ vizzjoni cara ghall-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi kollu. Nheggikhom biex tattendu bi hgarkhom intkhom u l-familji taghkom biex imabghad lkoll flimkien nisimghu il-mexxej taghna lkoll Joseph Muscat.”

  26. M. says:

    Joseph Muscat tries to do some white-washing, by getting Laburisti to trade in their rage-inciting red torca flags for the viriginal-white PL ones –

    glory glory

  28. Mike says:

    His wind vane may be broken.

  29. anthony says:

    You all have a one track mind.

    Brincat was referring to that other wind. The heavily scented one.

    Especially in cases of severe haemorrhoidal prolapse, because of the partial obstruction, it does go tick tack on a very low octave.

    He is right.

    • Aunt Hetty says:

      I would have thought that with partial obstruction, it would me more of a very high-pitched tick tack.

      • anthony says:

        That is only if your name is Ludwig van Beethoven.

        For us ordinary mortals it is always low-pitched, obstuction or not.

        It is never very high-pitched. Far from it.

        Never more than 220Hz. Even that would be very unusual.

        Besides being an authority on this category of wind I also happen to be a pianist.

        Hence the detailed explanation.

        I trust it is to your satisfaction.

      • Wormfood says:

        And there was me thinking that it was the sound of the cat flap or the window behind him being rattled in the said wind

  30. ciccio says:

    Has Muscat seen a cockroach on Manuel Micallef’s head?

  31. Aunt Hetty says:

    I have heard of wind chimes., but not wind ticks.

  32. ciccio says:

    Not to be missed.

    The Minister of the South of the Most Feminist Government is giving away free gifts to women who will attend his first coffee morning of the season.

  33. H.P. Baxxter says:

    The wind ticks.

    The clock blows.

    MLP sucks.

    Is that right?

  34. Toninu says:

    Unless he’s referring to (and misspelling) the fresh mints.
