Block 1, St John’s Square – the address our Kitten is gunning for

Block
In a previous post, I asked anyone who is running about in Valletta today to send me a photograph of Block 1, St John’s Square. I was absolutely mortified (this is supposed to be my field, after all) to receive a brilliant one from a reader in Albania, who used the relatively straightforward expedient of taking it off Google maps.
Thank you.

I hope these flats are being used for social cases. They have a good commercial value and should be rented at the going rates.
And given that kitten does not appear to be a social case, he should seek to obtain this flat – if he wants it so much – by paying the market price/rent. But the guy doesn’t appear to have much pride does he?
I’d LOVE for our Kitten to be living in a block housing social cases, even if the location is so grand. What a long way he’s slid from “Do I look like the working type?”.
Is-Sur Kenneth Zammit Tabona
Flat 1, Block B, Entrance A,
Binja il-Haddiema,
Qasam ta’ Djar tal-Gvern,
Misrah San Gwann,
Il-Belt Valletta
Ditto for Molly and the Filipino(s).
Mark, you forgot the most important line. The exclusive postcode. What is it – VLT 36000?
I thought they were Indian, not Filipino.
Sorry, “I hope these flats are NOT being used for social cases”.
You’re slipping Daphne. But at least you’re not afraid to show it.
[Daphne – Yes, on the matter of stuff like Google Maps I often do slip. For some reason I just don’t factor it in. Blind spot or something, which is odd.]
If only we had street view as well.
So now when Amrit from the Patwa Haveli comes to Malta, he can rest assured that his bedroom will be overlooking one of Malta’s most beautiful squares.
Isn’t Google Earth supposed to blur out faces?
That’s not Google Earth, just a photo uploaded to Google maps.
The times of Patrick Holland seem to be here again. Some of these apartments were eventually rented as social housing. As a home-owner, Zammit Tabona should never qualify for social housing or a government-owned property.
It’s not just a question of social cases. To be allocated a government apartment one has to be registered with the Housing Department or Housing Authority and THERE IS A WAITING LIST.
I don’t know where Kenneth Zammit Tabona lives now but if he owns any real estate (even a garage or a field) he’s not eligible to get government housing of any kind.
[Daphne – He lives in a flat in St Julian’s, which he owns.]

I never understood the fuss some people make over Kenneth Zammit Tabona. At best his art can be described as third-rate. It is repetitive, unskilled and uncreative. There are so many artists in Malta who are far better and who will never get the exposure that this pretentious charlatan has been given.
Are these government-owned flats?
[Daphne – Yes. That’s the point here.]
Sorry, I read the earlier post. Obviously yes it is government-owned.
Compare and contrast.

It is slanderous to say that Kenneth turned Labour because he is after same-sex marriage.
He is already married to himself.
Ah, so he can go and have intimate relations with himself.
A” self -made” man , so to speak.
Very sorry to leave an unrelated comment here but just wanted to pass on a little information about this oil deal the great JM has struck.
As quoted from TOM – http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130902/local/malta-strikes-oil-procurement-deal-with-libya.484551 – “The agreement kicks in as soon as Libya resumes normal production, which is expected in the near future.”
The thing is no one bothered to check about what ‘normal production’ means. Right now Libya’s oil production is down to just over 10%. There is no guarantee when it will go back up to 100% especially since Libya is still in unrest. You can get all the info about this from Reurers – http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/09/02/libya-oil-stability-idUKL6N0GY0XM20130902
The truth is that energy prices will only manage to go down thanks to the interconnector. Not to mention that all emissions will be emitted elsewhere and not in Malta.
He’ll probably use it for his candlelight dinners, like Mrs. Bucket.
Renzo Piano will be the first invitee.
Kenneth is adamant that he must educate the architect how to design a city gate entrance and a theatre. Renzo Piano does not have the right ancestry to undertake such a huge task.
I’ve been to those flats – that’s where Charles Abela Mizzi lives/d. They’re huge.
In those two blocks of flats in Saint John’s Square there are sixteen apartments.
Are cats permitted in those flats?
Kenneth, I have known you since our childhood and I am really disappointed that it has come to this.
All the same it is not impossible to realise that one has erred. If you feel you have, don’t let pride stand in your way and do the honourable thing.
Ejja Ken, I still feel that you will see that this government will fall far short of your expectations.
Daphne. Was just following a news item on TVM were our PM conditionally stated that once Libya reaches its full oil production potential Malta will benefit from preferential oil prices. Does this mean never? Full oil production potential? Means what in tangible terms?
Pre-revolution they were producing 1.6mbod, it is currently in the three hundred thousand range due to strilkes and militia blockades of the terminals and pumping stations.
Our government is in a bit of a dilemma, torn between its unabashed support for the Libyan government, and its grovelling to China over everything including Syria. Where Libya is supplying weapons to the rebels. In violation of a UN embargo on arms exports. A fine set of friends we’ve got ourselves.
Apparently he wants to live there because he finds it tiresome commuting from St Julian’s to Valletta, especially when there’s the Baroque Festival to organise and attend.
Try telling him that almost everyone who works in Valletta drives there every day or takes the bus.
Last year he lodged at the Hotel Phoenicia for two weeks, at taxpayers’ expense, because it was far too strenuous for him to travel back and forth with the festival going on. It would have been cheaper to pay for taxis.
Even the prime minister commutes to Valletta and back every day, so what’s so special about our kit-kat.
Kenneth, for heaven’s sake, get real and start living in the present.
And he should stop burning dried olive leaves. It’s affected his judgement.
Kenneth worked at Mid Med head office in Valletta and spent a lot of time working at Cafe Cordina.
Kenneth il-Kitten has become so inspiring to us all … BRAVO!
