How can you say it was not a live performance? The debate had a natural flow.

When Eddie Fenech Adami and Mintoff, Sant, or whoever battled it out in the BA electoral debates, there were no applauses or interjections. And yet they always performed brilliantly.

Is Gonzi so reliant on tailwind?

[Daphne – No, it’s the psychology of having a silent and unresponsive audience before you. It has a negative effect on speakers in a way that having NO audience does not. It bothered both speakers, you could tell, being faced with this stone-faced crowd.]

Yes, that marvellous proof of tolerance and unity. And an excellent Machiavellian stratagem at that.

Haqqek Oscar, Oscar!

Exactly my same thought. I could not believe that this is not some spoof.

Tragicomedy.

I do not think he is capable of much more than this.

Not being one to like being forced to do anything, I (sadly) resented the language and only learnt the alphabet the week before the exam. I then studied off by heart one essay, word for word. It didn’t matter what I was going to be asked in the exam because this was the only answer I was giving.

I got a 5 – the basic passmark. Maybe that is what Muscat is aiming for.

It’s stuck on the first answer.

“Dr Muscat was too much of a risk for the country, he (Dr. Gonzi) said, adding that the financial service sector which Dr Muscat was praising was at stake because of the effects of Labour’s electoral promises on the country’s finances.” ( http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130119/elections-news/pm-asks-muscat-to-withdraw-energy-plan.453883 )
