Leeter zaghzugh

Joseph Muscat’s painful, risky and expensive scalp lift operation (remember that circular scar which ringed his scalp and was inadvertently picked up by the cameras under the lights at the Hotel InterContinental last February?) has failed miserably.
Ma tantx kien wertit.
Now I am glad to see that, safely ensconced as prime minister and no longer in need of presenting himself as a ‘leeter zaghzugh’, Muscat has embraced typical male pattern baldness, so genetically prevalent in Malta, with dignity and grace as others do.
That’s the way it should be.

What he lost on top he seems to be gaining around the waist.
The circular scar is still there, and still very visible in the photo you provided above.
So how does that work? Do they scalp a buttock and graft it onto his head? No wonder another commenter referred to his hair as bum fluff.
Cut a strip or a patch in the middle and bring the edges together. The hair on the sides will be pulled inward, and upward.
Look at the way the bandsmen slouch – don’t they teach them how to behave on public occasions, at least.
This lot seems to have their drill sorted out though:

Note also the great number of vacant seats at these national day events. Those who so vociferously insist on promoting the National Days are usually the ones that then cannot be arsed to attend the official functions.
Today’s Editorial of The Times starts with the phrase “Joseph Muscat six months on from the election is a very different persona, in terms of his public actions and pronouncements at least…” Well, the Editor was kind. Muscat is different also physically. He is now visibly older and fatter than he was on 9 March.
“He is now visibly older and fatter than he was on 9 March”.
It must be the heavy (ir)responsibility of running the country leaving him less time to spend at the gym. Or it must have been the food on the cruise liner he must have gorged himself on (as most Maltese would).
I just cannot imagine a Joseph Muscat who would remotely resemble a prime minister of a country.
He should shave his head for the complete il Duce look.
Besides, every third bald man in Malta of his age group or younger does this now so he would be in fashion.
I would have ended that sentence before last at “…..prevalent in Malta.”
Daphne you are too kind. The words ‘dignity’ and ‘grace’ do not befit Muscat.
