Dak ecitament fuq Super One…

Mrs Dominic Azzopardi tried her best, but she couldn’t wake them up.

Ten text messages about Mrs Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s new Betty Boop look sent me to Super One to check it out. I was more interested in the job description scrolling beneath: CARMEN PULLICINO ORLANDO, OPINJONISTA.

Where is she an opinjonista – on Facebook or in bed and pillow-talking with her irascible husband?

Well, they could hardly plaster our screens with CARMEN PULLICINO ORLANDO, MARA TA’ JEFFREY or CARMEN PULLICINO ORLANDO, MARKETING MANAGER TAL-YELLOW PAGES, could they?

In the event, her most impressive contribution to the narcoleptic proceedings was shock at the fact that the prime minister uza tfajla to bring in his pile of reports on Xarabank last Friday.

Presumably, it would have been all right had his batman brought them in. This is what their feminism amounts to.

I lost track of what the conversation was supposed to be about and started looking at other things. The taparsi washing hanging on the lines above their heads, for instance – what’s that supposed to be about? It looks like a contemporary take on the Mandragg of my childhood.

Another thing I noticed is that the hosts have drinks and the guests don’t. Vera Labour.

And what’s that format like? Mrs Dominic Azzopardi and Mr Consuelo Herrera sitting behind a large desk like the panel at a job interview, with the guests sitting uncomfortably in a row before them, on hard chairs.

No wonder nobody’s fire was lit, though Mrs Dominic Azzopardi struggled on gamely to get them going. The most electric thing about the show was Mrs Jeffrey Pullicino’s rouge.

    Those thingies in orange and red are supposed to be sachets containing sustanza, (I guess), although they do look like bath mats.

    Why transparent sachets containing Labour liquid are let to hang against a cloudy sky I still can’t get.

    According to Andrew Azzopardi, having more than one mobile phone and two cars per family is the basic set of necessities which requires low electricity bills, otherwise collective trauma ensues.

    Materialism as a reason to be, although wrapped in socialist fuzz.

    You should have seen the first part, where that family therapist who is never seen without sunglasses on his head was basically calling for family therapists as a fundamental right for families. I mean what next, GonziPN the destroyer of families?

    It was hilarious when Mr.Consuelo Herrera asked him what it is that causes marital breakdown nowadays.

    So Jeffrey found his wife through the Yellow Pages.

    As soon as I saw Charlie Sunglasses I switched channel. Did I miss anything?

    I loved the bit where they asked the guy on the end what the solution ‘to poverty etc’ was. His answer, having been asked specifically twice, was to vote Labour – they have no fucking idea what to do.

      Interesting how after Friday’s Xarabank, no one from the PN, the real one ie, was invited.

      This from the movement which prides itself on the value of its ideas.

      According to Simone Cini and Robert Musumeci, the legitimate concern epressed by everyone, to the feasibility of Labour’s only slogan is just a buzzword.

      Who’s the arrogant git now?

      The comment that those who’ve invested money into renewables are rich anyway, may provide the clue where Joseph intends to get electricity at low rates.

      Easy when the two way meter belongs to the sole provider owned by the state.

    Well said, Daphne. I barely managed to watch five minutes of it. Amateurism at its worst.

    Esperta ser tkun il-mara l-gdida ta’ JPO. Daqs l-ohra gwappa.

  7. canon says:

    Dr Edward Gatt said on that same programme that he believes Joseph Muscat will reduce the water and electricity bills because Muscat said so several times.

    What logic is this? Mr Musumeci nodded his head in agreement.

    Hilarious! I’m a fan really because you manage to make me laugh even on what looks like a very busy Tuesday ahead of me. (Truth be told, I should be working at the moment, but I’ve decided to concede to myself a few minutes here, in lieu of the cigarette breaks that my colleagues avail themselves of).

    Actually Carmen came across really well in my opinion. It was the first time I heard her speak….couldn’t stop thinking of what you might be thinking of what she was on about. And I came here to have an insight into that, only to learn you were distracted by the washing hanging in the studio (hideous admittedly, but hardly does it matter).

    Same could be said about the rest of the studio set up, but again, didn’t lose any sleep over that, and it didn’t distract me either in following what was being said.

    Which reminds me about the fund raising events organised by the two main parties screening live on their respective TV stations. The PN set up within the studiofor the telephone operators iqabbadni dwejjaq fl-istonku. Had to say that in Maltese as it best describes what it makes me feel to see the lot in clastrophobic glass cubicles in semi-darkness.

    I shiver at the thought really. Anyway, best I get to work. A presto.

    She is really rough also when she speaks. He must like them like that as his ex from Bubaqra was the same.
