Meanwhile, in other news, a fresh picture on Facebook reveals that Joseph Calleja’s pony is about as big as the Law Commissioner’s. The Law Commissioner must be pleased that Calleja’s isn’t any bigger than his. That would be too much.

    So it will have to be the Form II School Report to tip the scales.

    But it’s the little girl who’s got the biggest one.

    Am I the only guy in Malta who does not own a Ralph Lauren big pony shirt?

    • Jozef says:

      No. Have faith.

        They can keep their Ralph Lauren pony shirts for all I care. For I am the proud owner of an original, authentic, 1980s Isard du Pont t-shirt, a gift from the thoroughbred’s owner himself, with Isard looking on, munching his oats.

        It’s an XXXS size, which means I can only wear it at Gianpula.

        Hudu go fikom, Franco u Joseph.

      I can assure you that the vast majority of right-thinking persons do not.

      So you are in good company.

    • helen says:

      You’ll soon be able to buy one from Franco’s stall in Ordinance Street, pony, cocks and all

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Is it Ordnance or Ordinance?

        [Daphne – Both words are good, but the street is Ordnance.]

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Then the translation is SPECTACULARLY wrong. But then, this is Malta, so I’m not surprised.

        It should be “Triq l-Ordinji”.

        Ordinanza is an ordinance.

    At least there’s no mistaking Scipio with Hannibal…

  5. Copycat says:

    I bought all my family a pony shirt because it seemed we were missing out. Mhux sew. Hu go fik Franco.

  6. xejnsew.com says:

    I think you should have at least blurred the kids faces.

    [Daphne – Why? The photograph is public to the entire world already, on Joseph Calleja’s very own Facebook page. If he didn’t bother blurring the faces, it means he doesn’t want them blurred.]

    • TinaB says:

      I fail to understand the reasoning of people like yourself, xejnsew.

      Mr Calleja chose to upload a photo of his children and post it where the whole world could and can still see it, and even SHARE it if one wishes to and you expect Daphne to blur their faces.

      Don’t you have enough common sense to figure out something which is so very simple, yourself, without anyone having to point it out to you each time?

      Mamma mia, xi dwejjaq fikom kultant.

      • xejnsew.com says:

        I pointed it out cause I do not like seeing innocent children being brought into the story. The story was about the ridiculous logo so no need to get the kids involved. But then if he himself did not mind posting the photo, that’s another story.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        How exactly is anyone brought into the story by being in a photograph with the subject of the story?

        Oh and VIP’s family are never “innocent”. They are VIPs too.

      • Angus Black says:

        @ xejnsew.com

        So, by your same argument, when Joseph insists on taking his twinz along to some official government do, should their faces be blurred as well?

    • xejnsew.com says:

      True!

      • mattoe says:

        Xejnsew, Facebook has like a 1.15 billion users. The Maestro decided to let the world look at his children.

        There are no issues.

        Ok?

  7. Mark says:

    Damn it, my pony’s positively miniscule.
