Speaker’s Notes

Published: May 11, 2013 at 9:53pm

The Department of Information has treated us to a couple of gems.

Somebody please buy this man some proper trousers, some long socks, and some instructions in how to sit.

The Speaker and some Labour MPs on a tour of the new parliament house. I don't know why, but they look wary and intimidated, and Deborah Tad-Divorzju actually looks frightened.

    She’s probably not sure the floor would take the weight.

      I’ll take my chances with skin cancer when parliament’s in session. Those stilts look awfully flimsy, and the new Malta is led by political heavyweights.

    • Harry Purdie says:

      Vest looks a tad too tiny also

  2. Giraffa says:

    Must be because of the under-sized highly-visible bolero! U mur ara f’hiex jifmhu fl-arkitettura, trying to keep an intelligent look for the cameras

  3. Dissident says:

    It looks like the country and its professionals evolved so much in the last 25 years that it is hard for them to keep up. They are stuck in the amateurism of the eightees.

    Anglu Farrugia jidher vera hosbien ghax qisu ccassat.

    Nahsen ghadu jewden u jistaqsi lilu n-nifsu.

    Imma jien x’ghamilt hazin biex Joseph keccieni?

    Iva jien biss ghamilt hazin? Daqs dak giddeb li ntqal waqt il-kampanja elettorali !

    U dan il-hazin tieghi x’kien?

    M’ghandix dubju li ser iqatta hajtu jistaqsi dawn id-domandi lilu nnifshu u qatt ma’ jsib twegiba.

    Miskin daqs dak paroli u eloggji li ghamel ghal Partit Laburista biex tkecca u hadlu postu haddiehor, u biex taxxaqha nzerta Ex Nazzjonalist.

    Anglu ghandu bzonn lezzjoni dwar kif jibblakka z-zarbun, sakemm ma kienx ghadu gej mis-sit ta’ kostruzzjoni tal-Parlament il-gdid.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      That’s if you can get past the shock of seeing a man in slip-ons.

    • ACD says:

      Probably more of personal thing, but I think it’s quite scruffy when you’re able to see someone’s shin between their socks and trousers.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Personal thing? Scruffy? We should get the UN to slap a binding resolution on those shins.

  6. ciccio says:

    They seem to be scared of the fact that the Parliament building does in fact have a roof.

  7. canon says:

    Anglu Farrugia needs to pull up his socks literally.

  8. Gahan says:

    In the picture: the new building is being load-tested.

    Later the same MPs have to load-test the seats.

    They can hire Joseph Grima – it would be his iced bun from that other Joseph.
