Oh please cut this crap, I can pin point hundreds of technical mistakes in instruction manuals, electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic Acad drawings, spare parts lists, together with plc programs which sometimes decide to stop.

I challenge you to write an instruction manual on how to ride a bicycle. I suppose it would be a piece of cake for you.

Engineers like all other professions are far from perfect. Don’t tell me, I’m at the receiving end.

Hi,
I think the likes of you have messed up my message.
The Chinese as mentioned have nothing to do with Malta.
Your good grammar indicates an educated person but your comment is not logical and most educated people are not. I was referring to the population problem in the world.
If you are observant, when the Ghana team were filming for charity was on TV, what did you notice – women holding children and children running around. No birth control so we have to collect funding to sustain them. When they grow up they migrate to Malta tajjeb.
The Chinese have a one child policy. Tajjeb.

Hi, that old scrapped power station still running at Marsa? Clever guy.
Let me tell you what Mintoff left.
4.5million plus about 1 million in consolidated funds. Compare this with the 5.5 billion which someone left behind in debt; Air Malta which someone tried to destroy; Sea Malta which was destroyed; a new runway; Freeport; SGS; Brand International and others; China dock presently occupied with an example of what an ocean going gas tanker looks like for future reference.; A dockyard that bred engineers and craftsman which Dr Gonzi boasted are ex dockyard personnel now working with Lufthansa technique.
The dockyard left by the British produced a discipline of engineering which now does not exist, no matter if it run into an annual debt.
There is no other moneymaking enterprise that does not involve a production of any kind, maybe your job is one of a non productive nature. As an example, look at Germany and the Japanese and now even China’s economy. Production through engineering my friend. Everything you use is engineered.
A social security that did not exist but was stared at by the holy of holies.
Any one like Daphnie can pin point a negative and forget the positive.
Another example for your reference:
Mintoff was so clever that he held on to a principle of what you do not have in your pocket, you cannot spend. Hence the telephone system was not updated.
May I ask what car or house you own so that your wishful thinking can be analysed.

F Chetcuti, you are so typical of the messed-up Maltese Right Wing. You clearly regard Africans as distinct from the Maltese. And you place the Maltese within the European sphere. Malta, to you, is part of The West. So far so good.

Then you go on to tell us about that vile bastard Mintoff’s “historical achievements”.

Mintoff’s greatest achievement was to sever Malta’s links with The West, to place us firmly within the Third World, “anti-imperialist” camp, and to destroy, in the space of two decades, Malta’s European identity. He couldn’t have cared less about High Culture, or genetic identity or the survival of the white race. He imbued the Maltese with blind narcissistic pride so violently atavistic that they henceforth regarded emigration, which for centuries had been the norm, as a cataclysmic betrayal of themselves. So they stayed on the island and multiplied. And the Gens Malti grew and grew.

A splendid achievement indeed.

Malta might have had a proper Right were it not for you deluded Mintoff-worshipping fools.

Mela mhux perit biss kellna mnejjek imma inginjier ukoll.

Francis,-In my experience, journalists write a lot of rubbish, repeating and harping on the same subject but in a different format. We do not write simple sentences,as technical instructions have to be elaborate.The subject matter was not answered to, hence it hit home allright.

[Daphne – No, technical instructions have to be comprehensible, not elaborate. But that is not the point. You can’t construct a proper sentence, whether simple or elaborate, and because grammar is directly linked to logical thinking, I hate to think what sort of engineer you are, or who and what allowed you to graduate – that is, if you ever did.]

My reasoning is not irrational just beyond understanding of true facts by the sheep, followers of the establishment and the system. The price of eggs as a comment normally used by you is not the subject matter.I am sure you can bargain for eggs with the farmers in Bidnija.Only Savour Balzan has a nice title for you.

[Daphne – Your reasoning is completely irrational. And you are not the first person to think himself a great original simply because he refuses on principle to admit the obvious.]

An engineer calling Dom Mintoff the best Prime Minister?

He brought to Malta a power station which was going to be scrapped because it was too old and inefficient.

He left Malta’s telephone system on the Strouger (mechanical) system instead of changing it to an electronic system.

And your idol Mintoff left Malta without a sufficient supply of electricity and water. And you call yourself an engineer?

The Chinese have 75 million extra men with all the social problems that sort of situation creates. The current reasoning is that the initial reasoning was flawed.

That’s just for starters and to state independently of anything to do with Malta, that your reasoning, too, is flawed.

Logic deals with true, false and if thens. If one is messed up, it puts the rest in jeopardy. One messed up concept is a reflection of the rest of the reasoning.

Since when does an engineer allow emotion to interfere with logic?
