					<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s with these PL people?  Such impossibly low standards. Natius is a mayor  and he makes lots of grammatical and spelling mistakes while writing a simple sentence. How can the villagers elect him, when he can&#039;t even speak or write good English or Maltese?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - That&#039;s the least of his shortcomings.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

It&#039;s a Maltese saying and actually an often used one. Although I&#039;ve often heard it in the plural, ie rabatlu/rabtilha l-ktieli rather than rabatlu/rabtilha l-kitla.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Exactly, because it&#039;s a reference to a man&#039;s family jewels, not the thing in which water is boiled.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Muscat signed the principal agreement when is opposition. The agreement with CCTV is to ensure favourable coverage of China&#039;s control over Malta&#039;s affairs, both here and in China.
