A really unsuitable 4am environment for the Law Commissioner and the desperate Malta Council for Science and Technology chairman

Published: August 7, 2013 at 1:55am

This is where they were before brawling at Is-Serkin in Rabat.

It strikes me as a phenomenally depressing environment for anyone of 40 and 50 (their ages), because the only reason anyone would go there at that age – man or woman – is to get laid. So all it is, really, is just another meat-rack.

And quite frankly, if you’re still having to do this at that age, it’s time to slit your wrists because it’s not going to be getting any better.

You just have to look askance at a man of 40 who supposedly has a girlfriend, and a man of 50 who definitely has a wife, who feel the need to hang about in this try-hard-faux-decadent-pick-me-up-I’m-so-sexy-or-at-least-I-might-have-been-once atmosphere at 4am.

What are they looking for or hoping to find – the meaning of life? Relief from their nihilist angst? Surely not a shag, tsk tsk.

It’s a ‘how sad’ situation for any man that age, but when they occupy the positions these two do, then it goes beyond ‘how sad’ and into the realm of ‘how totally inappropriate’.

We all know by now that feathers excite the interest of the Law Commissioner, but if the time has come when they’re also exciting something else, he should keep it strictly private. Goggling at girls prancing about in them on a stage is a bit…awkward. He could always buy his girlfriend a pair of feather knickers from Coco de Mer, and spare those chickens.

    Has Franco scored yet?

      Yep, but didn’t recognized his own coq.

    • Joseph Caruana says:

      Maybe. A cock-tail or two.

        The first journalist that interviews the Law Commissioner should watch this video before the interview as part of his/her preparation.

        Franco might well be a cockatoo.

        “Cockatoos are recognisable by the showy crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail….. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests.” (Wikipedia)

    I would tell you to go to hell, daphne .. but I think you are almost there

    [Daphne – Try a rational argument, ‘jhon’. Those tend to work better with me. Say I am in hell the day you see me trying to pick up some other woman’s reject at Marrakesh at 4am, after spending my days at the gym and starving or botoxing myself to look ‘hot and sexy’ to some near-pensioner.]

    I really don’t know what’s happening to our society. Arrested emotional development is now so widespread.

    Facebook is littered with single and married 40-year-olds behaving like teenagers with their hormones raging out of control. JPO and Franco Debono are just two of the many who happen to hold official positions.

    I suspect that this is merely symptomatic of the late 70s and 80s. These people would have been going through adolescence at that time, and from what I hear and vaguely remember, it wasn’t a great time to be a teenager.

    [Daphne – I was a teenager then and I feel absolutely no urge to behave like a 15-year-old on Facebook or an 18-year-old at Gianpula. None whatsoever. Deprivation in the 1970s and 1980s is a part of their behaviour, yes, especially of people like Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando who were complete nerds back then. But then there are many others who were not nerds in the early 1980s and who are now worse than he is. It’s what I call ‘foot-binding of the mind’ – they grew up completely unchallenged, and growth only comes through challenges, intellectual and emotional.]

    Le coq sportiv.. in his element.

    As if they know what Coco De Mer means.

    It’s not about the chicks, but about ‘exclusivity’.

    The video takes great care to focus on VIP, RESERVED, Guest List. This is what these kinds of people are looking for. Everyone wearing white – minghalihom qedin San Tropez hey.

    They get to park their ‘BM’ anywhere they like, skip queues, enter restricted areas … well you know the rest.

    The real them comes in the early hours of the morning, when they are so wasted that they end up going for a ‘pastizz kif imiss u tazza kafe’ at is-Serkin.

    Xi dwejjaq. Il-vera imsieken.

    You have to be a great big bunch of cocks to enjoy going there.

    FFS, this country is a joke.

  9. bryan says:

    Hi Daphne … good advert for Marrakesh??? Just joking !!! :-)

    [Daphne – That’s the idea. If all the trash goes there on a Saturday night, the rest of us are safe elsewhere.]

  10. Carla says:

    Daphne, how narrow-minded you are jaqqq! Mind your own business! Every now and then people feel like dancing till the wee hours of the morning..so bloody what? This is the 21st century! I bet you don’t have anything better to do than gossip about this and that! jaqqq!

    [Daphne – God, how boring and stupid you people are. So because it’s the 21st century, people with grey hair and wrinkles dance ‘until the wee hours’. How unusual, because back in the 20th century they were at home, waiting for the 17 to 23 year-olds to come home after doing just that. Now, the 17 to 23 year-olds go home at 4am and wonder whether their parents are down at the station, answering to police questions about a fight. Grow up, why don’t you. If you’re an adult and still writing like this, il-vera ghandek problema, because it’s the language of a kid.]
