Now H. P. Baxxter has sent this in, asking whether we get paints with the Mintoff bust for our forty euros.

Hahahaha Daphne, you are the limit.
Target practice. Splendid.
Ikollok tixtri hafna – sakemm il-mira tieghek mhix pessma!
Hemm discount ghall-bulk buying?
H.P. Baxxter, you don’t need a bulk-buying scheme, am sure you’re a good shot!
Dammit, Baxxter! I see you beat me to it with your comment.
Xi kruha
1976. Pre shameful era
Golden Years. According to il-Guy.
Check if I can find a place for this bust in the spare toilet room and shall let you know.
Careful. It might give you cramps.
You can kiss your rolls of toilet paper goodbye with that thing in there.
Dak issib jekk ma thallilux halib u gallettini lil krismisfader.
The elves take things literally: they’ll understand this to mean that you still believe in the Krismisfader.
If he was still alive, he would have asked a fifty per cent commission.
This should be given to all those who are still unsure about their vote.
It will be a reminder of “the golden years” and of the great time we had back then.
If they want to risk having the same wonderful experiences we had in those glorious years, then they should vote Labour.
Thank you, but I already have one.

Good one!
This bust is probably in lieu of the piece of coal that the badly behaved get instead of presents from Santa.
I’m confused – is this for those that have been good or bad throughout the year?
No thanks; I want the “traditur” era one.
Can I have the bustard one?
Hemm bzonn inkellem xi ministru biex nakkwista wiehed?
Iva, trid parrinu.
Jew toqghod fil-kju wara Darir Malta, u wara thallas 50 lira biex iqqbsuq it -lista w ituk wiehed imkebbek fil-karti ta’ l-incova.
You have to write a letter to ‘Dear Philip.’
Mur go kazin Lejburista, xahhamhom ftit u jakkwistawlek wiehed minnufieh. Tinsiex l-40 ewro.
That bust looks like what Buddy Holly might have looked like if he made it to the age of 56.
Whose mobile phone number is that?
Yana’s.
You’re kidding.
Hopefully.
On the contrary to what you are all saying. I would suggest that this bust along with that of Giorgio Borg Olivier, should find a place in all schools and Govt offices, as a memorial to the Fathers of modern Malta.
Both these persons should be treated with the respect they deserve, and we should all rise above partisian politics.
Where would we be if it weren’t for these two persons?
Perhaps still licking some English sailor”s arse,or plying Strait street offering our services, like our ansestors..
Are you one of the traders involved perhaps?
Ergajt tfaccajt, Silvio? Hadd mhu qed izommok biex tordna wiehed.
Wara li takkwistah aqbad idejn Privitera, hudu l-bust maghkhom u morru fuq Dingli Cliffs. It’s up to you to decide what to do next.
I was referring to two busts, not one.
Am I supposed to take them both to Dingli Cliffs?
And why should I go with Mr. Privitera? I don’t even know him.
You very well know to which one of the busts I was referring, Silvio.
You might not know Privitera but rest assured he wouldn’t mind giving you a helping hand in carrying the bust of his idol salvatur turned traditur and once again salvatur.
Gej bil “find a place in all schools and Govt. offices”
OOOooooo so touchy , there are still arse lickers and prostitutes (possibly a candidate for the oldest trade in mankinds history) running around our shores . So are you implying that all our ancestors were arse lickers and prostitutes .
“Perhaps still licking some English sailor”s arse,or plying Strait street offering our services, like our ansestors”
Maybe, Silvio, your ancestors were busy doing this, but mine certainly weren’t.
I get tired of all this English-bashing and the lack of appreciation from people like you, for the important role Great Britain played in the history of Malta.
I am the product of an English father and a Maltese mother. My English grandfather was in the RAF during World War II fighting to keep Hitler from taking over Europe. Many Englishmen died defending Malta and you have the audacity to insult their bravery for saving the sorry asses of your ancestors?
Pity the Mintoff statue isn’t full size to allow you to kiss his ass every day.
There is something that needs correction, in what you write.
Of course many Englishmen died during the war, but for sure they died defending England not the Maltese. It was their war not ours.
Yes of course they saved the “asses of our ansestors” maybe they were protecting their Saturday nights outings.
What you say about your English father and Maltese mother, that I’m afraid is your problem and you have to live with it. After all nobody is perfect.
Linda I can assure you I never kissed anyone’s ass, up to now,but who knows, there could be an exception, if I was to meet the right one.
No, silvio, there should be no space in schools or government offices for such trivia. Your last paragraph probably betrays a ‘licking’ attitude on your part, which attitude you pretend to condemn in others.
You seem to be still obsessed with the cult of personality, a phenomenon which has been maximally exploited by Mintoff and his Labour Party.
It’s the lasting legacies and long-term achievements of these two leaders that should be cherished / detested by the present and future generations.
I don’t know about you, silvio, but we’re not all sons of prostitutes here.
@Baxxter
I’m sure you aren’t. It’s the way and what you write, which gives one the impression that you might have some arse licker’s blood running through your veins.
After all it’s not whose son you are that counts, but who you are.
It is of course understandable that none of the offspring of these would be proud of their parents, but the fact remains that we had them, they surely had children, and grandchildren some of whom are still running around.
So if I were you, I wouldn’t play any bets.
Silvio, the only way my mum could be a prostitute is if someone invented a niche fetish for respectable, 50+, slightly prudish ladies. If your escutcheon is besmirched by generations of inner harbour underclass filth, than that’s your problem.
But that’s beside the point.
Wishing we were still British, if you want me to spell it out, is not arse-licking. No more than your blasted Maltese patriotism. Nor is shedding a tear for everything we lost when we foolishly decided to go for independence. There is no divine law which says that Malta must be independent. And I have the full weight of history behind me.
The Union Flag was once our flag, and I reserve the right to salute it.
“Where would we be if it weren’t for these two persons?”
Well, I for one would still be in Malta if one of those two that you mentioned never existed.
And I can assure you that the self exile happening was certainly not due to dear old Giorgio.
@ Baxter.
@Baxter.
It looks that you are not on top gear today, maybe something to do with being the 13th.
What wrong with being patriotic?
The Union flag was never our flag, we had our own since 1090. Actually the Union flag was that of our masters.
[Daphne – Please don’t tell me you still believe that rubbish about the red and white flag being ‘Malta’s’ since 1090. In 1090, there was no concept of statehood in the way we know it today, still less in respect of a couple of rocks with a couple of thousand people on them. The ‘Count Roger gave us the flag’ story is a fairly recent bit of fiction and nationhood-building. Besides, if Count Roger gave it to us, and it was his, how does making the colours of a minor Norman count somehow preferable to using the Union flag? Do try to think, Silvio.]
Every nation aspires to be its own master, but unfortunately there will always be those who prefer to be dominated by other countries.
In my dictionary these are the ones that are universally known as’
ARSE-LICKERS>
.
‘Where would we be if it weren’t for these two persons?’
Well given that Mintoff made it a point to cancel whatever Borg Olivier achieved, we’d be no worse.
Would have been more interesting had Borg Olivier succeeded Mintoff.
”Perhaps ………….. plying Strait street offering our services, like our ansestors..”
You know what that makes you Silvio? Figlio di gran puttana.
:)
Thanks Mummy.
Daphne, O.K I’m thinking.
Just tell me that we did not have a flag before the English GAVE us the Union Jack.
[Daphne – And who would ‘we’ have been before the British arrived in 1801, Silvio? From 1545 Malta was in the possession of the Order of St John. Malta was not a nation and it did not have a flag. Most of Europe’s flags are relatively new in historical terms, so I don’t know what you’re rabbiting on about, exactly. Your beloved Italy didn’t even exist as a unified state before the 19th century, for example.]
Yes I still believe the count Roger episode. Why should I doubt it?
[Daphne – Because there is something called historical evidence, Silvio, and the same historical evidence tells us that ‘the Christians’ who Count Roger ‘liberated’ from Muslim slavery were in fact from other lands – they were put on ships and sent back home – and that it was the Maltese (the people of the city) who were the Muslims. Why else do you think you speak a derivative of Arabic?]
Now when it comes to Father Xmas,I must confess , sometimes I have my doubts, but on the other hand when I see all the road works being carried out in Sliema, I say to myself, could George Pullicino be Father Xmas (there is a slight resemblance) or is it something that has to do, remotely, with the forthcoming elections?
Thank you Daphne for spelling it out.
Who would ‘we’ have been?
Anyway, silvio’s brigade has won outright on this one. Now I’m stuck with a fucking Maltese passport. Thanks a bunch, you bastards.
With one (George Borg Olivier) where we are now, but 20 years earlier, with the other, in hell on Earth.
Daphne, I suspect we are reading different history books.
According to mine it was 1530 when the knights came to Malta, and 1800 when the British came.
There again,you might have ” something called historical evidence” to prove your date are the correct ones..
Baxter what you can do with your “fucking Maltese passport” is travel ,and settle, to any country in the E.U. visit many countries without the need a visa.
Settle and work as what? We’re not all doctors or developers, you know.
And a passport is not just a ticket to a job. It’s a whole life history.
I grew up in independent Malta, cut off from the rest of the world, led by a navel-gazing government and civil service, schooled in a school cut off from all sources of enlightenment or world-class culture, and had my hopes and ambitions dashed by my Maltese passport.
A British passport would have opened up a lot more life choices.
It is your sort who are to blame. We had it all, and yet you decided to piss it all away on some downtrodden little Count wanko Roger fantasy. Thanks a fucking bunch.
Silvio, with regards to Mintoff, also in church schools?
At first I was going to flippantly write something along the lines that the bust is scary enough to frighten kids with. However I realise that for older people who remember the abject misery and despair that Mintoff inflicted on this island, that effigy is a disturbing reminder of a past most people would give anything to forget.
They should offer a bust trilogy, Dom, Pol Pot and Stalin.
You left out his friend Gaddafi.
I don’t know how they expect to sell it at €40, seeing how everybody is so very hard-up that they can’t afford to buy food, let alone a resin figurine.
Because Labour is so modern, they still describe the bust as being 7 inches high (almost life-size, then), some 4 decades after we’ve gone metric.
In other words, you are not buying one because you need it to pay your astronomically high energy bills. Right?
Americans still use inches and feet. Makes you wonder.
I must say, this weekend we noticed there were no thin people sitting at cafes. We thought they had probably been gobbled up by the fat people sitting around, what with being starving and all that.
Later on in the day, we were at The Point, and everyone was positively strapped for cash,. Most even went as far as carrying recycled shopping bags made to look full just to stand out from the paupers.
Donnu qed jitbissem. X’kien!
.
Ghax il-vit jibqa’ ghaddej dritt.
Maybe there is something in what you once wrote in that a man who wears a wig is not to be trusted.
eur 40 for a limited edition of is-salvatur’s bust – that’s cheap provided that the number is not limited to 10,000.
Madonna, rega qam Dalli BA.
lollllllllllllllllllllll
Tista’ tghidli kif niddobba wiehed pls?
Grazzi.
[Daphne – Ehe, Esteve, issa nejd lil aron farguia!!!!!]
Tghid irahhsuh jekk nixtruh bil-bulk buying?
Ghagglu ghax smajt li Alfred Sant ghamel ordni kbira.
They forgot one title they gave him once, traditur.
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20121112/local/new-gas-plant-inaugurated.445122
Hekk Franco, hu go fik.
I doubt they will sell any.
Dan il-gvern qeridom. Forty euros for seven inches of pewter?
Classy, a “must have” for the nouveaux chavs lajfstile
Dak ghal fuq il-pjanu, ma’ ta’ Mozart u Beethoven.
Too expensive. Dan il-gvern qeridna.
Yes, please. I’d love to have one for target practice.
The type of people who would probably opt to buy one would be those who complain most about “l-gholi tal-hajja”.
Let’s all dish in and buy Mr. Privitera one of these.
Il-bust tal-Perit Mintoff, just after his sex change.
What, Edwina Privitera?
Two boobs make a bust: all they need to sell us now is a 7″ x 5″ figurine of Lorry Sant and we’ve got enough to fill a 36EE brassiere.
Nipple Ring,mela ma tafx kemm kien qammiel il-perit, hi. One boob at a time.
Which explains why even the bust had to be a miniature, save on the bronze.
Seven inches, did they say? Well, that’s about right for a real prick.
Epic! A bit more than the average prick actually.
Yeah, it looks like me on a bad day.
(Geddit? Nyark nyark.)
All this anatomical comment is disgusting. They just had to draw an asshole.
Where is the candle holder?
. . . ’round the back, Gorg!
At 40 euros, do they provide free candles with it?
The bronze original was sold at an auction early last year in Mdina.
The usual suspects were all there.
Christian Democrats value everything while Socialists always put a price tag to anything
A resin bust of Mintoff will cost you €40 “BISS”!
Even if it was for free, I would not have it.
If it is truly a limited edition then it would be only fair for us customers to know how many of these “Made in China” busts were made and whether they’re numbered.
Jekk izidulu mazza f`idu nixtri wiehed.
Jien se nistenna sa wara l-krismiss forsi jkun bis-sejl.
If they were to make some larger ones, with a cavity in the head, we could buy them for use as a lavatory brush holder.
Do they make them bigger, so that I can put one on my dinner table? It will help me lose weight, but it might also give me a stomach ulcer.
Is that bust carved out of a giant block of Stork brand margarine?
Will look great next to Chavez.
Watch the competition.
http://fazolu.blog.com/maltese-dishes-la-fazolu
Dak Mike Bongiorno !
Is the paints included?
http://anniestreasuretrove.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/paint-your-own-garden-gnome-in-box.jpg
If the gnome is suitable for ages 5+, shouldn’t the scary one that sells for €40 have an 18+ label on it?
I will buy the whole collection, these are next:
Pol Pot
Stalin
Hitler
Causescu
Idi Amin
Kim il Sung
Gaddafi?
Wait until Castro bites the dust. Then buy the whole collection.
Sigh.
So at last they’ve found the part that was missing from the top of the Luqa monument.
Did anyone notice the small print?
X’inhu d-“daqs tal-bust” tieghek, ciccio?
Nyark nyark nyark.
Forget it, Baxxter. I am not a C-cup.
I have a few ideas of what to do with one of those.
Daphne this is free publicity for the sale of this bust. Labour should thank you.
I find the sale of a politician’s bust, irrespective of whose it is, sickening, immature and ‘ta’ wara il-muntanji’.
Will Tyson Butcher be offering a free bust of Dom Mintoff with every 50 euros of meat?
I wonder if Fredu Sant will find a Dom bust this Christmas in his stocking.
Gewz, lewz, qastan, tin,
Ma gabliex bust ta’Mintoff, San Martin.
Let’s start a national competition. In what practical ways can we use this piece of junk?
I have some suggestions but I’m told that children read this blog too.
Agatha Barbara meets Dom Mintoff in a seven-inch bust.
Well done, Baxxter. Even a cynic like me just had to laugh.
Shame.
Anything short of a 50m statue of is-Salvatur complete with a golden bokla, and erected at the entrance of Grand Harbour, is high treason.
Don’t know if my cats would like it as a new scratching pole, I wonder…
For 50 euro one can get Yana’s too.
No thanks Lol, I’d rather gamble and lose the 50 euros.
YANA THE BEST XI TRID TGHID FUQA DAQSEK BRAVA JA SAHHARA KERA
