    I take cumbrage at your comment.

    [Daphne – How outridgeous. I flew into a ridge when I read that and ended up raiding the frage, but all I found was cabbidge and oats for porrage.]

  2. Claude Sciberras says:

    No wonder he was not given the job…

  3. maryanne says:

    If 95% of this person’s brain is working correctly (and it shows) how is the remaining 5% doing?

  4. Procedures says:

    No kohlrabis in your frage?

  5. George says:

    Mark Portelli’s level of English is an insult to both ‘Cambrage’ and Oxford. I wonder what kind of degrees certificates he had submitted on application for the job. If he did provide any I am sure they were a fraud.

  6. Ghoxrin Punt says:

    With that sentence construction the guy would not even get an O level from Cambridge or Oxford, let alone a degree. Idiots

    • Josephine says:

      Ah! But he’d easily get a good grade in his English Matsec, if the English in the benchmarking textbook is anything to go by. It comes complete with Capital letters in the middle of sentences, and the author/s seem to think that the seasons are proper nouns – to mention but a couple of repetitive mistakes therein.

    • ciccio says:

      This guy is probably mixing up his O’Level certificates from Cambridge and Oxford with proper degrees.

  7. A Montebello says:

    Forget guffaw – I ga-fived!
    Cambridge and Oxford my ors.

  8. Uhuru says:

    OK so Oxford is in UK – but where the hell is Cambrage?

    • ciccio says:

      Sounds like it’s somewhere in France.

    • La France en Direct says:

      It is in France, about 30 km away from Versailles.

      Cambrage appears first on the Ewropeean map in 1699 – Louis 14th awarded the D’youk d’Oshforte a peace of land about the size of Malta.

      The D’youk called the land ‘Que Ombrage’ because Louis was getting busy with Lady d’Oshforte.

      On New Year’s Eve 1699/1700, Voltaire remarks, in a French accent, “it remains a mystery to me why those peasants keep calling it Quembrage”.

    • Grosvenor says:

      It’s that place where they make Camembert cheese.

    • Toninu says:

      next to Primark … :)

  9. Grezz says:

    “Your” – one of the biggest mistakes of the semi-literates.

  10. anthony says:

    If you ask me, this Cambrage graduate is just taking the Mickey out of Franco.

  11. Alex says:

    I think something needs to be done for this to never happen again. This guy seriously needs help, but because no one can make a Member of Parliament resign we have to watch him and be part of his delirium caused by improvised and coincidental fame.

  12. maltawarrior says:

    Wanna bet this is FD himself writing “undercover”?

  13. FP says:

    Mr Portelli says he’s got 95% of his brain working.

    His % scale must run from 0 to 1000.

    • ciccio says:

      Actually, man normally uses a very small percentidge (or should that be percentage?) of the brains. The rest is dormant.
      In the case of Mr. Portelli, that small percentage is probably dormant within the 5%, and we see the effect of using the rest.

  14. Tania says:

    I think the lack of subtlety in the way they try to fool us into thinking they are or were ever Nationalists gives them away more than their level of English does.

    Furthermore, I think it is now working against them as they show themselves up as fools and anyone with half a brain does not want to be associated in any way with them.

    If Franco had any sense he would be insulted by these idiots massaging his ego.

  15. Paul Bonnici says:

    At last Franco has met his match.

    There are many schools and colleges in Oxford and ‘Cambrage’. Maybe ‘Cambrage’ is a city which is still to be discovered.

    Unfortunately there are many students in Cambridge and Oxford who cannot write in intelligible English. The standard of English has gone down dramatically in the UK, so I would not be surprised with Mark Portelli’s prose.

  16. George Grech says:

    L-aqwa ‘dr franko’.

  17. ClS says:

    Mark Portelli, you are lying through your teeth. Repent

  18. Pisces says:

    cambrage lol

  19. Steve Forster says:

    Hull anyone? Like the great Blackadder

  20. Natalie says:

    Hmm, that’s strange. People who’ve studied at Cambrage usually deride people who’ve studied at Oxford, and vice versa. Such ex-alumni pride themselves at having studied at one of these universities, and it’s very hard to find people who’ve studied at both.

    It’s very difficult to get accepted into these universities, and even more so when the student is unable to write the University’s name correctly.

    • Angus Black says:

      He was probably kicked out of one and reluctantly admitted to the other.

      But, insanity aside, why would Debono even let such garbage on his ‘blokk’? Not that he would be embarrassed since his English is not that much better. Maybe because lies have become virtues and any means by which he or this Mark Portelli try to deride Austin Gatt is very much ok?

      Portelli you have just proved that you belong in Joseph’s stable and should be ready to enroll in a ‘repeater class’, maybe your English will improve, some day.

      You are an outright fraud.

    • sasha says:

      Exactly – you don’t pursue a degree at Cambridge and switch to Oxford. It’s unheard of.

  21. Perhaps Portelli’s just pullling Franko’s leg.

  22. Clifford says:

    Graduated in Cambridge yet he doesn’t know how to spell correctly.

  23. Futur Imcajpar says:

    A glance at his covering letter would be enough to disqualify him from any position of worth.

  24. Lestrade says:

    This smells fishy. With degrees from Cambrage and Oxford UK, he would have had many good offers from overseas and not trying for a cushy “jopp” with the local civil service. As for the voting preferences and Austin Gatt, this is pure 100 % bile (or bilge ?) from our Franco.

  25. JoeM says:

    This guy Mark Portelli is an utter fraud. It’s clear he’s lying. Cambrage and Oxford my foot. With his level of English he must have graduated from the University of Malta and I’m 95% sure he did the law course.

  26. elephant says:

    With such “qualifications”, he should have gone to any other EU country. But I think “cambrage” gave the game away.

  27. Patricia says:

    I get the feeling that this is someone else taking the p**s. I can’t get over the image that came to mind when I read that the family will be keeping the votes in their drawers…. :-)

  28. miki says:

    Dude, if you graduated from Oxford and Cambridge, then I am Dolly Pardon (yes, you know it is Parton) with a dick.

    So f**k me sideways.

    Where does this dross come from?

  29. Bubu says:

    What a load of BS. Apart from misspelling the name of his (purported) alma mater, the allegation of being asked how he votes at a job interview is preposterous. I have attended interviews galore throughout my professional life and never once have I been asked this, not even tangentially.

    Even if I had been, I would have had recourse to the appropriate legal structures to make sure that the discrimination were dealt with in an appropriate manner. Guess which administration put such structures in place?

  30. Martin says:

    Admit it – you made that up yourself.

    [Daphne – No, I didn’t. You can go to his blog and see it for yourself. If I were to make something up, it would be more creative.]

  31. Aunt Hetty says:

    What was that pumpkin head doing at Cumbrage and Oxford anyway? Tending the lawn and making tea for the school staff?

  32. ciccio says:

    I take it that Mr. Eddy Privitera did not graduate in Cambrage and Oxford, but his English is better than Mr. Portelli’s.

    It’s their logic that’s the same.

  33. Fuhrer says:

    Il problema hi li kieku qal li ser jivvota lill-PN taf kien jispicca xi segretarju appostoliku iehor fi hdan l-immakulat ministeru ta’ l-onorevoli u l qdusija tieghu Austin Gatt….u kif qed tghidu lanqas jaf jikteb!!! Naghga mitlufa ohra insomma…..

  34. Allamana says:

    Tried Googling for a list of Cambridge and Oxford double graduands.

    Google returned 0 results

    Whom do I believe? The graduate from Cambrage and Oxford or Google? What a conundrum.

  35. sasha says:

    It’s usually a woman who writes ‘God bless’ and a village type not a male graduate from both Cambridge and Oxford.

  36. Josie says:

    Yes and I’m the queen of Sheba.

  37. Catsrbest says:

    Probably, this M.P. (his initials) also graduated magna cum laude or better still summa cum laude.

  38. Patrick Zammit says:

    Jahasra lanqas jafu kemm qedin jaqghu ghac-cajt dawn in-nies. Genn kbir biex jitilghu.

  39. TROY says:

    Mark il-kabocca sar lejburist. yeah sure.

  40. Marianne says:

    Wejja; this is all satire up there the guy knows what he’s writing and to whom he’s writing – how funny – hilarious

  41. Toninu says:

    votes will be keep in the drawer :)

  42. Lola says:

    My son is a double graduate of Cambridge and Bath Universities.

  43. Lola says:

    Yes do you know him.? Who are you?

  44. lola says:

    H.P.Baxxter knows my son.Can you forward my e-mail address to him so that I tell my son about him?Thanks.
