Hearing him talk about Malta and the European Union as a protagonist of its membership bid was great and he treated his students fairly, so it&#039;s really frustrating to see him act like this when I know he can do better.]]></description>

I think you said it all with this: &quot;The truly talented and gifted do not even BOTHER with the government (unless it is because they have a mission to improve our country and find that rewarding in itself) but make their way successfully in the private sector.&quot;

I would like to see most of these prima donnas deal with real performance criteria where there&#039;s the very real danger of being let go if you&#039;re not up to scratch.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Interesting lunch table at a restaurant in Xlendi today including JPO and wife, The Hon. &#038; Mrs Michael Farrugia, Dr Andy Ellul and Super One partner &#038; Magistrate Carol Peralta and others. A real elitist feel about  them. And the ladies were ever so polite smoking long thin cigarettes without a bother that they were annoying patrons in neighbouring tables. You could actually smell the arrogance...and it stunk.]]></description>

Thank you rjc. If Gahan can do better than an ex-EU Commissioner, it says a lot about his finesse.

I actually pointed this out to Daphne on the other post yesterday. 

To be fair with her I learned a lot about these important formalities from this evil blog, and this was one of them.]]></description>
