Is it just me, or does this look a bit freaky?

Il-Guy

The Tourism Minister had better get his act together because there is increasingly a touch of the ageing Quentin Crisp about him, and I don’t mean that in a good way (I liked that man a lot and his books are a hoot).

Il-Guy comes across rather a lot nowadays as a fussy old lady who’s forgotten her handbag somewhere and is all flustered about it.

Kemm qeghdin sew, ukoll.

      Baxxter, why do I keep smirking and shaking my head at the same time? Could it be ITYS syndrome? Please help.

      @ Helen unfortunately the guy, in the pictures( excuse the pun) is not as funny as Mrs. Brown s boys.

    Brings a fresh perspective to the pantomime shout of ‘He’s behind you’.

    Can’t stop laughing every time I look at the picture.

    Last week Karmenu l-Guy lamented about the full-year losses of euro 25 million at Airmalta in the year ended 31 March 2013. It seemed that he had lost his handbag there.

    He complained because, the week before, the CEO had reported operational losses of euro 15 million.

    http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130418/local/air-malta-losses-reached-25m-last-year.466117

    But the CEO was clearly quoted by Malta Today that he was speaking about operating losses. Surely, Minister Karmenu Vella would know very well what operating losses represent, wouldn’t he? He was one of the three grey-haired cutting-edge experts on the economy and finances when Labour was in opposition.

    http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/businessdetails/business/businessnews/Air-Malta-CEO-expects-sharp-reduction-in-losses-20130413

    In 2012, Airmalta made operational losses of euro 30 million. This year, they made losses of euro 15 million. That’s a cut of the losses in half.

    Total losses from ongoing business in 2012 were euro 37 million (and in 2011, euro 66 million). This year, euro 25 million. Another important improvement.

    So it’s not clear why he lost his handbag there. Maybe he should check at the Tunny Net Complex instead.

      I suppose he wouldn’t let such a small thing as simple accounting truths get in the way of a soundbite eh?

      There’s positivity there for you – jhabbata ma Varist for ‘the most positive minister to ever shine on this sorry land’

    He actually reminds me of Alf.

    Il UK x’aktarx dahlet f’riccessjoni….issa naraw kif Karmenu Vella se jiffaccja il problema tat turismu Ingliz.

  7. Just Jack (JJ) says:

    Is he sitting or standing behind the podium?

  8. Angus Black says:

    That sign ‘Forum 2013’ on the podium should read ‘Farsa 2013’.
