I said Commonwealth REALMS. Not Commonwealth members. i.e. countries with the British sovereign as head of state.

I hope we all know the difference. Or the 13th December wouldn’t be a national holiday.

But we ARE in the Commonwealth.

Privitera, why does every single comment of yours have to declare “I am an arse”?

First off, I do not support GonziPN. And you would know it if you’d followed my comments. Oh but I forget – you can’t read.

I just despise Labour. If it weren’t for Simon Busuttil’s name on the ballot sheet, I wouldn’t be voting at all.

Secondly, your father would have been a shoemaker back in the 1920s. A lucrative trade even today. Back then, your family would have been above average in the hierarchy of social clout.

Mine’s below average. Which is how I know the underclass so well.

Thirdly, you claim that a “humble background” should draw a voter towards Labour. The reasoning – if one may call it that – being, presumably, that Labour will improve the lot of the Common Folk.

Complete arse, pish and twaddle. No party will ever improve anyone’s lot, neither Labour nor PN. My generation knows it.

Hence our disillusionment with politics. Your generation, the pampered grey goo, does not. Hence your quasi-erotic obsession with Malta’s political parties.

Ghalhekk ghandhekk lanzit ghax thossoq proletarjat?

H.P. Baxter: If your background is humbler than mine, then how come you support GonziPN ???? My father was a shoemaker. And yours ?

For the record, Disposable income is the amount of money that households have available for spending and saving after income taxes have been accounted for. Your utilities, food and other expenses must be paid from your disposable income as well.

[Daphne – We are actually talking about discretionary income.]

Last but not least, our yacht club is the only institution outside Commonwealth realms bearing the royal title. The only exception is Hong Kong Royal Yacht Club. James Bond was a member there. That is why they hung on to the title. It says prestige.

Privitera, old fellow, 10 000 Euros for a bespoke Turnbull & Asser outfit isn’t overpriced. Think of the expertise and hours of patient work that go into it, all backed up by two centuries of Savile Row tradition.

Now tell us about your humble background. I’m all ears. I bet you mine’s humbler.

Absolutely. They should have worn a singlet, baggy sagging shorts and flip-flops. Isn’t that our national costume?

Sur Privitera, kemm tiflah tkun vojt?

Hemm bzonn tonfoq eluf kbar biex tippartecipa f’yacht show internazzjonali; partecipazzjoni necessarja ghax minghajra mmorru lura. Tahseb li tajjeb tiffranka forsi 3% tal-budget, biex tispicca bl-istaff Malti b’hwejjeg tal-qamel (paragunat mal-kompetizzjoni) – meta xogholhom li jattiraw in-nies lejn Malta?

Kif ser issolvi ‘l-problema tal-faqar (illi f’Malta hija problema ferm izghar minn f’hafna pajjizi ohra) – billi teqred settur ekonomiku minhabba ghira bazwija ghas-“sinjuri barranin bil-jottijiet taghhom”?!
