In reply to licious. Wrong, the saying originates from fact that people from Qormi go overboard with wine and become drunk and useless by lunch time.

Milli jidher hadd ma jaf ezatt I’ll qawl malti shih. Lirgiel qormija sa nofs inhar ragel ghax kienu jahdmu l fran u wara nofs inhar kienu jmorru jorqdu biex iqumu jahdmu bil-lejl u mara qormija tiswa disa’ mija, ghax kienet il-mara li riedet tiehu hsieb il-familja u tmexxi kollox.

Did you see them passing the paperwork around in front of their own faces instaed of sliding them politely on the table. It was ridiculous to see.

In reply to Aunt Hetty. Pero minghalija Coleiro mhix ragel, imma mara, allura ma kinetx tahdem fil-forn. Jigifieri lanqas cajta mhu kapaci jaghmel flokha, a meno che, ma kinetx diretta lejn il-President. U ghalhekk dan tal-ahhar hatfu.

I never expected in a thousand years that JM would come out with this saying. It was ill-timed and completely irrelevant. He should do well to make an apology to Mrs Coleiro Preca and all those people hailing from Qormi.

The swearing-in ceremony was not exactly a professional affair. First of all I never remember so many people standing around the table.

Also because of the size of the cabinet there were too many people in that room. The person handing the papers was making a farce of the event passing papers from behind the president as though they were pastizzi.

And finally there were some children who were constantly crying and making noise. I have kids and know for a fact that that was not a place for kids if they cannot be quiet for the duration of the event even if their father/mother was being sworn in.

I can’t wait for Muscat to start cracking jokes about the bad-toothed Englishmen or the drunken Irish, unshaven French female armpits or the humourless Germans during EU meetings. That should make him (and Malta) popular.
