Metro

I hope Jason Micallef doesn’t understand this – well, I really don’t think he will – or we’ll have a protracted hissy fit on our hands and there’s no knowing where that will go.

    For Jason Micallef’s sake and that of other readers, I think we need to explain that the Brits use the term “oddly compelling viewing” to describe a show that is fascinating to watch because it’s so awful, kitsch and/or unintentionally hilarious.

    All that’s missing is a penalty shootout.

    …and there are even some losers commenting underneath. The collective complex the Maltese have is astonishing.

    Oh well, Malta has to get used to people taking the mick.

    “oddly compelling viewing” could very well mean “morbid fascination” too.

    Don’t worry – don’t we all get British humour now?

      Clearly not, from the comments underneath it is clear that most people thought it was a genuine complimentary article
