					<description><![CDATA[May I suggest to the guy above, that the first thing he should do to save himself from drowning, should he ever be in the situation due to the &#039;state&#039; the &#039;government has put the country in&#039;, (he is saying this), is to cut costs like sell his car, rent his garage or switch off his internet connection and not give people the impression that one should keep spending when out of pocket and blame the government for the mess.

May I also suggest he upgrades his style of clothes if he wants to look like something out of a designer&#039;s magazine page. 

Come on, a 3-car garage, an SLK, cruises, Vegas and Mexico is the kind of life style that suits the well-dressed Gucci class of people.

Bermudas, sleeveless shirts and three quarter pants, plastic bag in hand, are clothes that are to be worn by people to go the beach.

You&#039;re either at the upper level, or you&#039;re not, or you&#039;re trying hard, which never works out because being up there means you need to work very hard to get there, and once you do, you need to work even harder to stay there. The people he is trying hard to be, never complain or blame others for the cost of living.

He is probably very mixed up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s just the SLK 200 Kompressor. All it has is a 1.8L petrol engine, and it takes 7.9 seconds to reach 100km/h. Most BMW 320ds, which are so common in Malta, are just as fast, or faster - and a Mini Cooper S is almost quicker. It&#039;s really just a fancy car with a shit engine. Smart money would have bought a BMW Z4 with one of their excellent diesel engines... their 3L straight-6s are both very fast and economical.]]></description>

&quot;So if a minimum wage earner, after some time, is seen running around in one of these super cars, does that mean he has done anything wrong?&quot;

No. It means he should be investigated. If it is found that he won the lottery, then that&#039;s fine.]]></description>

You are extremely wrong, Mr Gauci. It is true he was sacked but the departmental head involved did not want to ruin what was left of his working life and instead of saying he was sacked, he wrote down that Mr Gauci had resigned....u minfuq, spicca qalaghha bil-kbir l-ufficjal.]]></description>
