&#039;Snob&#039; my great-aunt Fanny. 

His literary works don&#039;t impress me, neither do the interviews with Albert Marshall, the write-ups in the newspapers or his life-story.

How he sees himself is irrelevant. What matters is how people see you when you publish your work, and not how one sees himself.]]></description>

There are different kinds of snobs. Vella Gera sees himself as an intellectual giant, Malta&#039;s gift to world literature.

He also happens to be perfect so it&#039;s only fair that he is disdainful of the imperfect &quot;klassi politika&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recommendations for next edition of Gieh ir-Repubblika:

AZZOPARDI, Peppi
Just for the Friday fun for his many programme viewers.

BALZAN, Saviour
For being so confused and intelligently illiterate as a reporter, a confused brain and a pseudo journalist.

CARDONA, Chris
For having done nothing of substance so far, and for being so helpful through his post lap-dancing tantrums.

DEBONO, Franco
He deliberately gave full freedom to his inferiority complex and frustration by seeking revenge against the PN and its former leader, Lawrence Gonzi. Above all he made us laugh through his unique verbal fits and mental misfits.  He deserves this award for his &#039;strange way of being&#039;.

FARRUGIA, Angelo
For spending taxpayers&#039; money to attend (dare not use the verb &#039;participate in&#039;) some forlorn conference in no man&#039;s island, and for designing the ever best U-TURN in the history of mankind.

MALLIA, Manuel
For his size, his odd statements to cover up his mistakes, his legendary &#039;policemen-converted-chefs&#039;, his unacceptable interference in many matters which were publicized without taking their revealers to court, for his inability to accept the fact that without him on Joseph&#039;s band wagon our country would be much and much better. 

MUSCAT, Joseph
He managed to take the entire nation (including and especially PL supporters) for a ride.

MUSCAT, Michelle
She has made it a point to behave like someone who is important when she&#039;s not that important, by seeking to dress differently without succeeding to impress the public, and for helping the nation&#039;s present and prospective parents to bring up their children in a way so differently from how she has done so far.

PULLICINO ORLANDO, Jeffrey
For replacing Jerry Lewis in Malta through his pro-divorce campaign, his scaring off so many ladies within the timeframe of his matrimonial history so far, and for his general irrelevance to our blessed country.

SCICLUNA, Edward (hekk imsejjah &#039;il-Profs&#039;)
For bringing to our faces so many smiles when he thinks that he&#039;s talking and for his recent unforgettable defence of the local government&#039;s mess in selling Maltese passports while facing European music in Brussels (please, read his speech or listen to it...it clearly shows Edward&#039;s lack of preparation for politics and that he is the most unbefitting politician of PL&#039;s government).

ZAMMIT, Peter Paul
Just for being a puppet in PL&#039;s hands.

ZAMMIT LEWIS, Edward
For being humble enough to keep himself unnoticed.]]></description>

He&#039;s just a translator or an interpreter which is equivalent to the desk clerk in Malta: always doing the same depressing job. The only little plus is the end of the month but who said people don&#039;t make a lot of money in Malta?

Brussels is boring and depressing and so are the people there most especially some of the Maltese.

I would rather invest in living life in &#039;a happy&#039; place than in BORING Brussels and make money from an interesting career that rewards me with a big pay cheque at the end of the month.]]></description>
