Comments on: What a dreadful waste, just for a parliament that only meets for a few hours a day

A good idea that would benefit the government while parliamentary sittings are not taking place would be to organise tombola and coffee mornings.

In this way they can use the old orange buses to satisfy the LP voters’ nostalgia for the old polite drivers and trucks.

They can buy their nylon G-strings and track suits from the monti stalls just outside. Life is just wonderful when you really think about it, isn’t it?

He did better than any used car salesman:

Bought a second hand car from the UK.

Will get the VAT paid on it back.

Hired it for €7,000 a year to himself .

And will have it back after his premiership expires.

He surely knows how to squeeze lemons!

What about using the Renzo Piano building for a ’50 Shades of Grey’ museum. A lot of birds will be hit (literally) with a single stone: Michelle and her friends will be thrilled, it will be a first in the world (at least I think so), it will attract a lot of tourists, and it fits perfectly in the theme of V18 along with the 3 carnivals.

I wonder what Renzo Piano told our great leader Muscat during the alleged meeting in Paris.

I can only wonder though with the black out and biased media all around us.

But, I can imagine Muscat’s reasoning. Typical islander that thinks that thinks that the shoreline is “ix-xiffier tad-dinja”. Or maybe that thinks that Malta can be a China. A communist China. You know like the Golden Years. Meta tagħna (tal-lejburisti) biss kien tajjeb. Here’s the mental reasoning in Muscat’s mind: “Ma’ tarax li se ngħidu x’qal. Mela jien daqsek injorant, le m’iniex. Renzo Piano huwa l-injorant.”

The Transatlantico at Montecitorio is 180 metres long by 30 metres. Nofs tomna.

Ernesto Basile, our erstwhile neighbour from Palermo designed it.

And what a masterpiece it is.

Joey should suggest to Laura Boldrini ( I must admit to a special interest in her) to let it to the likes of Lidl , Conad or Carrefour.

He should tell her : Dak x’ser taghmel bih”

Pure lunacy.
