Is she a suitable teacher – not in terms of qualifications, to giver her the benefit of the doubt – as regards ethical conduct ?

She should not be teaching anybody.

Busy body

Yes, I agree. She should be teaching girls.

The whole issue over Miss Cutajar’s job has been blown out of proportion.

Although it is something of a blow for the government, hopefully it will blow over in a few days. I feel it is just a storm in a teacup, perhaps with the teabag still in the cup.

Sure, it is a hard pill to swallow for Miss Cutajar, but we must all come together at this special time of year, a time of sated satisfaction, mince pies and cream tarts, big logs covered in icing, and if, while putting up the tree, one of the bulbs should blow out…(That’s enough. Ed.)

Blow- drys, for example??

Somebody once said that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

I do not know when or where this creature has ever made an appeal to patriotism.

Someone else from Qormi – now residing in luxury at Portomaso, but otherwise very much interested in aiding African charity operations through contacts in the Bahamas – recently said that he was doing consultancy work for free so that he can do something for his country.

That’s what I call real patriotism.

Or was it that he said he was doing his country? I’m not sure I heard him correctly.
