Then she came up with the story that she had to ‘swim’ and had to call for help anyway. I’m curious though. Did she suffer from jellyfish stings?

Baxxter, I bow to your superiour intellect. However, being a crazy Canuck, I still consider them so incredibly, fucking stupid.

Elementary, my dear Purdieson. Brain cells are in short supply in Malta. Those with a modicum of intelligence will tend to vote against Labour. Think of it as a skewed bell curve, with the higher probability density at the lower end of the intelligence scale.

It’s not a cunning plan at all. I don’t think it’s down to just inbreeding. I’d say it’s more to do with patriotic narcissism. Because when you think you’re the best, you refuse to learn anything from johnny foreigner.

Oh I don’t know. It’s Saturday night. I should be thinking at this time.

You got a laugh out of me.

It is a tough path. Did it when I was 18 and vowed I would never do it again as it was madness. It is really dangerous.

In Malta we feed them to the jellyfish because we can’t throw them to the docks any more.

Baxxter, having lived here since 1992, mostly under the rule of a relatively sane government, can you please explain to me why Labour sympathizers, and even their MPs, appear to have severely eroded their brain cells. Is this a cunning plan, or just a product of inbreeding?

Shangri-La and Ghajn Tuffieha .

She must have forgotten about the jellyfish.

Xi hlew.
