Please ejjew iktar tard, hi
The Department of Information has just informed the press that the formal dinner hosted by the Prime Minister tonight at Villa Francia will actually take place later than planned.
This is how they informed the press, who are expected to cover the ‘meet and greet’ part of the evening: ‘Change in time’.
How did they inform the guests – by ringing them up and telling them, “Please come later because the host can’t make it at the time he gave you”?
In any case, what can possibly have happened here? Did the PM discover a more fascinating subsequent engagement of the Don Draper variety (most unlikely), or does Mrs Muscat need more time to get her hair wrapped up in one of those up-dos tat-tigijiet ta’ nies ta’ certu tip after getting the children organised with the baby-sitter?
I despair.

Last minute wardrobe malfunction.
Forsi il-buttuni tat-tuxedo ma jistghux jinghalqu mill-ahhar darba li libes il-black tie.
Mentioning Draper, the current season is great.
She will probably take the children with her. That’s what she did a couple of weeks back at the fashion show in Castille. It was embarrassing.
U iva, siegha l’hemm u nofs siegha l’hawn – mhux xorta?
The President is trying to defend the indefensible.
Well he’s not in parliament according to this report
http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2013-05-20/news/valletta-open-market-likely-to-move-to-ordnance-street-1640333312/
“A government member explained Dr Muscat was absent because he was caught up in an important and urgent meeting although he was in Malta.”
What’s this important meeting about? It made him miss parliament and postpone dinner to a later hour.
Bdejna.
His car was parked outside Castille late in the afternoon.
Daphne, I hope you’re listening to the President. Now I know why he didn’t want to give further comments. He just confirmed a scandal. Her course fees were paid by the Italian centre. The same hospital which will providing assistance to the Malta centre.
I don’t know why he felt the need to get Andrew Azzopardi and Dr Anton involved in this scandal.
The journalist on TVHemm is being cautious on the questions being asked.
Why does he not ask him whether Darleen’s refusal was documented in the minutes of the following meeting? If not, why? Every secretary worth her salt would follow up on the decisions taken on the previous meeting.
Why does he not ask him whether she is being any consultancy fees for her advice on the new clinic?
‘Organized confusion’. Fifty-eight months to go.
No Harry, its fifty seven and a half. 9 March 2018 will fall on a Friday, so the latest date he can call an election is 3 March 2018. I suppose that this is good news for everyone.
This is good news, but I prefer to think of the earliest date he can call an election.
The count starts from the opening of parliament i.e. 6th April 2013.
Harry, that gives them ample time to give us “perfect confusion.”
Or the final solution. God, it’s like being in Germany in 1933. Without a single Sophia Scholl in sight.
Joseph Muscat invariably turns up late at state functions. The DOI notice is a ploy. Joseph Muscat has not been informed of the change in time. In that way, never mind all of the guests being inconvenienced, things should fall into place.
Mela Joseph Muscat xi darba mar fil-hin…..biex halla lir-Re ta’ Spanja jistennieh m’hix kbira ?
Or is it a very poor imitation of the De Marco dynasty ?
Maybe the DOI is doing to Joseph what i do to my best friend. Tell her that a play is starting 6pm when it starts at 7 to make sure she`s on time.
Mela insejtu fi zmien Mintoff kemm kien ikollna minn dawn?
‘Qedin nistennew li minn hin ghall-iehor il-prim ministru jindirizza n-nazzjon.’ U dan ma jasal qatt.
‘Il-prim minstru ghandu izur il-fiera tal-…..’ jinghalqu l-biebin, twieqi u x’naf jien u ahna bhac-cwiec nistennew hemm maghluqin ghalxejn.
