    “Handsome ones…” – Careful, or Franco Debono will think he falls into the latter group.

      Not going by the photo appearing on his own ‘blokk’.
      Reminds me of some character from a horror movie.

    Which came first – the tie or the poor eyesight propped up by tinted glasses?

    And while we’re on the subject, I’ve yet to meet a lawyer who can carry a suit well. Bunch of ill-dressed slobs, the whole bloody lot.

      Here you’re wrong, Accapi.

      Maltese importers import only second-class suits. If you want a decent one, you have to buy it from abroad.

        I’m right then.

        And you’re right too on second-class suits. But a man with no taste, even in Savile Row, will wear his suit like a slob. Style is something you learn in teenage, if you’re lucky to be born in the right social class.

        Otherwise you can learn it the hard way, through countless failures, ill-worn synthetic-fibred jackets, buttons done up that shouldn’t have been, wrong collar sizes and excessively wrong sleeves.

        But when the assay is hard, as the Poet said, so sharp is the conquering. And the only way there is to put your wardrobe to the test, to examine your faults and learn from your mistakes, as The Master teaches us:

        “because there is nothing more to be required of a man then to know himselfe”.

        That is the essence of sprezzatura, on which I shall perhaps write a treatise one of these days.

        Quoting from H.P. Baxxter (btw do you own the H.P sauce company??) – what a loser

        “Style is something you learn in teenage, if you’re lucky to be born in the right social class.”

        What an arrogant, disgustful comment to make

        Er, I went on to say that I was not born in that social class. In what way is that arrogant and “disgustful”? Can you people even read?

        That’s exactly what I would expect from a senior cretin. Do not delude yourself. It is not for you that I write. Pearls before swine.

    If we are going through the ”Maltese Spring” right now, would it be fair to consider Franco Debono as Botticelli’s Flora?

    I think I saw sparks flying across the air on Musumeci’s show tonight. A certain Dr.Frendo nearly oozed down the chair as she played with her locks.

    It could have been Zammit Lewis next to her.

    You are being very unfair to Maltese men even though you are honest enough to admit it.

    Two grotesque teletubbies wearing ties are not representative of Maltese men.

    [Daphne – In fact, Anthony, they are. I’ve been at conferences of hundreds where practically every man in the room is some kind of variation on these two. It’s enough to make a woman throw herself out of the nearest window.]

    The choice of ties though, even supersedes the irregularly sized jackets. Bil-guh li hawn fil-pajjiz, (mhux hekk?) you can’t get to change a suit every couple of years, but a tie is different.
