Let’s give him a bit of attention, miskin

Published: October 25, 2012 at 10:28am

Isn’t Franco Debono taking his pony thing a bit too far?

I read in The Times today that he is defence counsel to the man who stole two Shetland ponies, sold them on, and then spent a month telling his wife to say he’s not at home when the police called, while hiding in a hole in the wall behind a wardrobe, where they found him when they got a search warrant and went in.

Some top criminal lawyers have really thrilling lives.

    Kif twarrab madoff kwazi nsejnieh. Ahseb w ara wara l-elezzjoni. Tiftakru kemm kien antipatiku. Pero ma kienx mill-ghar miskin.

  2. Innutaw kif Daphne QATT ma ssemmi grajjiet li jgieghlu lil Gonzi u shabu l-ministri jisthu. Bhal buzullotti li ghaddejjin tal-Arriva, il-miljuni li qed jitberbqu etc.. Per ezemju, il-bierah smajna b’sntenza tal-Qorti fejn il-gvern se jkollu jhallas lil certu perit, il-fuq minn €1 Miljun ta’ pjanti etc.. li hu lesta dwar li sptar Zammit Clapp, biex il-gvern kien warrab il-progett ! FLUSKHOM JINHLEW B’DAN IL-MOD U QISU MA GARA XEJN. U DAPHNE MA TIKTIBX KELMA WAHDA !

      Ninnutaw kif tal labour qatt ma jsemmu l-elf miljun euro li gab il Gvern Nazzjonalista f’investiment. Mur orqoghd.

      Dak ghax thalli fir-rappurtagg serju, onest u imparzjali tieghek ta, Eddie!

      Sur Privitera, int li kont tant kuntent taht il-gvern ta’ Mintoff, u kont tiddandan bil-posters fuq il-bejt, x’se tghamlu tal-Labour, jekk Allahares qatt titilghu, se tergghu treggghu lura lura ghax-xarabanks?

      Ghalli jista’ jkun, taqbel li nergghu lura ghal Bulk Buying li int kont il-pampalun?

      Eddy – you quite obviously haven’t been following this notebook for long enough.

      Apart from that, it is NOT a news portal such as the online version of the Times. I.E. if you MUST visit, that is entirely of your own accord – but it is Daphne who decides what topics she wants to bring into discussion.

      Of course, Eddie – you could always just sod off back to annoy all and sundry at the Times. Or to Labour’s impeccable and unbiased Maltastar. Maybe even to our other new buddy’s blog – Franco Debono.

      The choice is yours! Oh and finally, this is an English language blog, again by preference of the ‘blogger’ herself.

    • Matt B says:

      Eddy,

      Get this into your thick mind, my friend, that this is NOT a news site and that Daphne (at least you spell it correctly!) is under no obligation to report that which you deem to be newsworthy!

    • TROY says:

      Eddy is still in shock and denial about Mintoff’s death.

      Eddy, the arsehole is gone, you don’t have to please him any more.

    • Futur Imcajpar says:

      You can’t be very bright, sur Eddy.

      She’s been harping on the fact that it was a colossal mistake to send Dalli to Brussels, as she had lambasted the Prime Minister for voting against divorce legislation and, before that, why it had taken him so long to make Malta’s position clear with respect to the Libyan conflict.

      You wouldn’t understand, but Daphne licks no boots and kisses no asses. That’s why most of us like to come here so often – to know what’s really happening, to get the juicy backstories and the details. Because Daphne can join the dots and most importantly, she has a sense of humour so totally lacking in everything else we read..

      Ara int, qisek diska ngengla! Tirrepeti li jghidu s-Super One u l-Orizzont ad nauseum. Jien nuza l-Arriva KULLJUM u m’hemm l-ebda buzullotta fihom. Dejjem qdewni. Imma jien nifhem li tal-linja mhix taxi u biex jghaddu kull hames minuti (kif jippretendu hafna nies) irrid inhallas id-doppju.

    • maryanne says:

      Ara min hawn. Ghidilna, Sur Privitera, meta int jigrilek xi haga straordinarja, lill min iccempel l-ewwel? Lil Joseph Muscat?

    • Ghoxrin Punt says:

      Mr Privitera, I’ve told you once, I will tell you again. There is no need to yell at us.

      We are not the sort of people who need to be shouted at to understand what you are saying. If you want to talk to adults, act like one.

    • Jozef says:

      Keep it up everyone, that one day, Eddy Privitera may vote PN.

    • Joe Azzopardi says:

      Ninnotaw li anki l-Laburisti jieklu taht dan il-gvern. u ifhimni, Dward.

  3. Tinnat says:

    Poor Franco is still trying to say the Dalli issue is a national conspiracy involving RCC and the no confidence vote, and Rita Schembri. He watches too many telenovelas, or he needs to get out a bit more.

  4. Brian says:

    Ideal place for Franco to eternally hide in…

  5. Lady Oscar says:

    I was quite hoping you would not mention him for a while…it was lovely seeing him go frantic at the lack of attention.

  6. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Shetland ponies? Trying too hard. He’s probably already looking for cases involving pandas or baby polar bears.

    @Eddy Privitera

    Bhal ma int qatt ma semmejt l-istorja li kien hemm fil-Casino fi zmienek. Kienu qed jinsterqu flus li l-Casino kien jhallas f’taxxa tal-Entertainment. Tahwida shieha, fejn il-Ministru ta’ dak iz-zmien Guze Cassar kellu jinvolvi ruhu. Imma l-istorja intafat taht it-tapit. Ghidilna ftit fuq din l-istorja. Int kont hemm u LP fil-Gvern. Nahseb int tafha sew din l-istorja.

  8. Spiru says:

    Eddy I agree with you for once. However Daphne runs the blog and she has the right and prerogative to include and exclude anything she wants. Why not start a blokk yourself so we can then compare your hits against hers ?

    Id-Dott holom li jirkeb pony liebes libsa b’mant blu, u minn wara xi kantuniera tohrog xi tfajla kerha seba’ pesti li ghajnejha jixghelu kif tarah, u taghna iteptpu.

    ‘Like Bendy Buses and BWSC, the Tal-Barrani fracas could have been avoided.’

    Franco,

    minn meta bdejt tibza’ miz-Zwieten ta’ Wistin Abela?
    Mela qed tiehu x-xoghol mieghek id-dar?

    re toddler :

    when toddler grows up what will he do?
    toddleer managed to get elected instead of giant louis galea and helen damato
    toddler became a criminal lawyer
