    Il-Prim Ministru Mintoffjan aktar jiehu vaganzi milli jahdem. Ara kif trid jimxi il-quddiem dan il-pajjiz.

    With Edward Zammit Lewis and Lady Elena in tow, I’m sure. Lady Elena of “Maaaaa what a lot of hamalli there were” fame. I’d love to meet her after the kruz. Sic transit…

    Nahseb cash hallas il-Prim.

  4. Giraffa says:

    I sincerely hope that the prime minister is not also the recipient of iced buns.

    A prime minister on a cruise rather than a private holiday? Does he join the queues in the dining-room and line up by the pool? Does he follow the tour groups? He hasn’t strayed far from the Burmarrad lack of decorum I see. The suit and the titles are like putting lipstick on an ever increasingly fattened pig.

  6. frogs says:

    No the prime minister and entourage do not queue to dine they are served on a private floor which you pay extra for

    MSC cruises are not known for their well-behaved clientele. Seasoned cruise-goers all over the world avoid MSC and Costa.

    Jisthajjlux Leonardo di Caprio fuq it-Titanic? Mur ghidilhom li dak Peppi ta’ Burmarrad.

      He acts like Leonardo di Caprio when in Malta. In fact, Malta is quickly heading towards the iceberg under his leadership.

    Min jaf hallasx jew marx b’xejn il-prim.

    I bet my bottom euro that on their way to Malta they will once again delay the flight.

    From this timetable one can deduce that he will be back in Malta on the 1st of September. I hope he’s pumping iron at the gym, but I think we’ll see those extra kilos he gained from the cruise buffet tables, in the wreath laying ceremony on the 8th September .

    BTW : when is he going to give us back the leave when a holiday falls on a weekend? Remember: “Gurnata leave misruqa lil-haddiem minn gvern Nazzjonalista!”?

    Who knows which latest book Michelle Muscat took with her to read on the cruise?

  14. comment says:

    Strange that when the Muscats take a cruise, Hamilton is always the local agent. Are they alone on the cruise or with the bella compania of the Kascos and Zammit Lewises?
