A soon-to-be minister of state and a director of the national theatre conduct an earnest discussion on Facebook
Try harder, Joseph
After reading the exchange below, I thought, marelli, ma baqax ragel wiehed suret in-nies f’dan il-pajjiz?
Now even rigorously dull straight men in their 50s seem to think it obligatory to be camp and fey all over ‘FB’, ma mmurx xi hadd jahseb li mhumiex hip u moderni jew li huma kontra l-gejs.
And interestingly, perhaps because of the particular profile of gay people it has gathered to its breast, Labour seems to think all gay men are watered down versions of Liberace.
Here’s a clue to what’s attractive, chaps: if you can’t imagine Bear Grylls doing it or saying it, JUST DON’T DO IT OR SAY IT YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU’LL LOOK AND SOUND LIKE AN ASS.
Kenneth Zammit Tabona is excused because nobody expects him to be masculine or adult, though for heaven’s sake even I have to draw the line of tolerance at this total lack of consideration for others. If it wasn’t so sick and silly, it would be hilarious – all the workers popping in to tell ‘Kevin’ Gulia that they’d woken at 5am and had been at work since 6am, and then “Cav and Pag” come along yawning at 10am for a spot of socialist interaction.

Jiena qomt u la qomt KULHADD irid iqum! QUMU!
Then there are 41 comments all saying ‘bongu’ and some other pleasantry or inanity – all in Maltese except for one from
someone with an English surname – until we get to Kenneth.

Oh dear some people wake full of the joys of spring …. Night birds like me are completely thrown in the morning.
Kenneth Zammit Tabona
Good Morning Gavin by the way.
Kenneth Zammit Tabona
Yawn

Good morning Kenneth

Hi Gavin had to dash to the theatre to meetings and coordinate opera/s. Cav and Pag start on the 14th
and rehearsals are in full swing.

What can I say? Cabinet meetings are going to be so…fluttery.

Who’s preying whom?
Bear Grylls? Bollocks. His idea of survival skills is eating anything you’re not meant to, and deliberately seeking to injure yourself. Then fucking off to a nice five-star hotel for the night.
Try Ranulph Fiennes. Put his frostbitten fingers in a vice and did the amputation himself with a hacksaw, at home, “because it’s cheaper and quicker.”
My my you can be a bitter ,’ son of a b…’ . Mr Grylls has quite an interesting history as does Mr Fiennes .
Both TA SAS but Grylls come across as a giant tosser who got lucky in the 24/7 television age. Besides, his knives are cheap plasticky things that fall apart in a week.
Fiennes did most if his deeds without the benefit of an accompanying camera or a franchise. It’s like Paris Hilton vs Grace Kelly.
Ranulph Fiennes. Now there’s a fella with stainless steel balls.

I know you’re probably not going to let this by, Daphne, but I’ve had it up to here with hearing how a few limp wristed idiots seem to be dictating terms to everybody else.
So they are queer. Fine, but they should bear in mind that their sexual orientation is not our problem, and if unfortunately they want to be led by their appendages, than so be it.
I, and quite a few others I would guess, prefer NOT to be defined by our sexuality, thank you very much. But we have to smile at these idiots, because political correctness demands it.
What is it with Maltese gay men? They are insufferable.
[Daphne – Not all Maltese gay men are limp-wristed, bitchy carnival queens, Vanni. Those are just the scene-stealers. Most of the gay men I know look like somebody’s boring husband, so to speak.]
Well, well, well … before you rush to sanctify Bear Grylls, remember that while, on Born Survivor, he was supposedly abandoned in the wild, he stayed in a motel and scenes were set up for him.
The Sunday Times had the story. Basically, he did a little Joseph himself.
[Daphne – We girls don’t really care because he’s handsome. Jaghmel hekk Joseph, dik hag’ ohra ghax hu hugely unattractive.]
How about we settle for this: Mike Horn, Mike fucking Horn, who circumnavigated the globe, solo, using human power.
Here he is on his journey down the Amazon, from source to sea. First ever.

He is also Harry’s neighbour.
Why would someone feel the need to post “yawn” in a message board, unless he intends to show that he finds the comments above his utterly boring?
