Eight reasons to celebrate being born a woman in Malta

Labour councillor Norman Shaw and friends: if they’re not gay (which means we don’t care what they look like anyway), they’re ugly or they’re ugly AND Jose Herrera.
Great gene pool for looks, I must say.
And we haven’t even begun to look at their brains and personalities.
No wonder that on the rare occasions a naval vessel puts into Grand Harbour, it gets mobbed by hundreds of Maltese women AND gay men.
Meanwhile, poor Dr Shaw has had the most trying time with customer service at Dr Juice.

Do Maltese women go for Chinese men?
Because that’s all they’ll be getting by way of naval vessels.
No, Baxxter. Women will do like Shaw and go for the Germans.
What’s long, hard, and full of seamen?
A U-boat. What were you thinking?
Do you think that after paying for whatever it is he and his partner drank, Norman Shaw expected to be given a receipt, or did he have to ask for it?
I am in no way trying to imply anything about Dr. Juice. It’s just that when I went to Dr Shaw some time ago, just after the elections, I was not given a receipt, and was put in the embarrassing position of having to ask for one, which I ended up not doing.
Assuming that he does that to all his patients, it would be interesting to know what sort of income he declares to the Inland Revenue Department. Perhaps he and fellow Valletta resident Manuel Mallia meet up occasionally to talk cash.
Doesn’t the Maltese law state that doctors are exempt from giving VAT receipts? Must have read it somewhere.
Doctors aren’t obliged to collect VAT so as not to add unnecessary costs to healthcare. It doesn’t follow that receipts need not be issued. My dentist issues fiscal receipts and even has a cash register for the purpose.
“My partner” “My partner” ….
So romantic – sounds like some convenient clinical arrangment.
The male chumminess (kazin type) , and the over-the-top, in-the-face machismo you find in Malta always gave me the creeps. As a teenager it made me wonder whether most Maltese men were gay.
Got nothing against gay people of course.
If the gentleman is a medical practioner he is exempt from issuing VAT receipts
Which really should not be the case. A form of receipt should be required under Maltese law to both increase accountability as well as ensure that taxes are being duly paid.
Why members of the medical profession are treated any differently from different professions is really beyond me, particularly when many are blatantly under declaring their real income. So do not levy VAT on medical services, but do regulate and increase accountability.
They are exempt from issuing a VAT receipt but still obliged to issue a fiscal receipt.
Is’t he Jonathan Shaw’s brother – who has just been selected to contest the MEP elections for the PN?
Dr. Shaw iridna nemmnu li subajh dritt. Spikey ghandu ragun ghax anke lili ma taghnix ricevuta meta mort ghandu ghal ghajnejja.
U forsi qieghed jinsa li huwa wiehed min dawk li David Cameron isejjah “National Health Tourists” li regolarment jaghmel uzu mis-servizzi tas-sahha b’xejn tar-Renju Unit b’ingann.
Dr. Shaw needs to realise then when the top is mediocre the bottom is only going to be worse.
Give us another 12 months and what he witnessed at Dr Juice will actually be considered excellent service, because you know, someone actually got them a drink.
The male “models” in this photograph are almost perfectly ranked in descending order of receding hairline.
A hose, a hose. My kingdom for a hose.
I’m beginning to feel that there really aren’t that many normal people left on this island.
Rational people have been the odd ones in this Royston Vasey state for quite some time now. I’d leave tomorrow if I could.
[Daphne – Royston Vasey, that’s it. I used to watch that skit and think how familiar it all was.]
This is a local shop for local people! We’ll have no trouble here!
Haven’t the police yet found out who punched Azzopardi in the face?
Going by the news bulletins on Sunday evening we were given the impression that somebody was going to be arraigned on Monday morning away.
What a f**ked up country we’re living in. John Dalli gets away with his Bahamas adventures. Manuel Mallia declares half a million in cash and no IRD asks questions. First he told us that he sold some property and then when we asked for proof he said they were the ‘fruit’ of forty years of hard work.
Still no word from the Commissioner of Police re the Serkin incident.
F’Malta kollox imut fuq ommu.
I must disagree with your last statement, Curious. Not everything is swept under the carpet.
Labour’s propaganda machine keeps going on ad nauseam about Tonio’s clock, the 500 Euro raise and Austin’s Swiss bank account to name a few.
In my eyes, this has reached brainwashing proportions which can be ascertained by the fact that people keep repeating these arguments in a parrot-like fashion, quoting the exact expressions used by politicians (with mistakes and all).
Other issues, which in my opinion are much more serious and may have long-term national and in some cases international repurcussions, are ignored until they are forgotten.
Another strategy used is creating another issue to distract the people from the real problem.
This selective action on current problems and the way the public’s perception is being influenced is very worrying. If it was not for the few people like Mrs. Caruana Galizia, the Maltese public would be living a puppet’s existence in fake utopian bliss.
You are perfectly right li kollox imut fuq ommu. We don’t even know what steps are being taken against the prime minister’s neighbour who shot that flamingo.
It’s the Xarabank culture. As soon as the panel get down to actually discussing anything, it’s “Waqfa ghar-riklami”, Fabri piping up on his guitar, or that ridiculous James Bondin.
Leave the rock before you can. It’s the only way.
Dan minn haseb li hu min mindu lahaq kunsillier tal Belt Valletta.
Qabel l-elezzjoni tajtx kemm xewwew kontra Gonzi u l-PN.
Dan ghandu dar kbira (s’intendi mal-partner tieghu Germaniz) fi Triq San Pawl, il-Belt Valletta.
Qabel l-elezzjoni kien iggib fuq il-Facebook page tieghu ritratti ta’ propjetajiet abbandunati li hemm f’din it-triq (fin-nizla) u kien jikkundanna lill Gonzi li dawn qedin ftit passi il-boghod mill ufficju tieghu go Castilja.
Issa hemm Muscat bhala Prim Ministru u s’sa issa ghadu ma sar xejn.
Zomm kelmtek Dr. Shaw li ser taghmel minn kollox biex quddiem id-dar tieghek ma jibqax dak il bini mitluq u qed jaqa’.
Why did he say ‘my German partner’? Wouldn’t ‘my partner’ have been sufficient?
