For health and energy, drink Konrad Mizzi

Konrad Mizzi

Konrad Mizzi’s portfolio now sounds like that 1970s television advertisement for Ovaltine. It’s suddenly clicked that this is the reason why writing it out as ‘energy and health’ didn’t sound right when I did it, and then when I reversed the order it sounded so much better.

The jingles you hear repeatedly in childhood – they really do stay with you for life.

    Cabinet meetings will start with an Ovaltine, no not in the oval room, Joseph still has to sort that one out.

  2. CIS says:

    “For Health, Strength and Energy drink Ovaltine Each Day”. I remember that one well.

    He only needs the “Strength” to complete it all.

    Seriously now, how can he manage two very important portfolios?

  3. ciccio says:

    The Shame On You Minister is going to need a lot of health to administer the energy sector, and a lot of energy to administer the health sector, that is for sure.

    We’re in for a lot of Red Bullshit.

    Now patients can contribute their flatulence through an interconnector from the hospital to the gas storage tanker

    And in rude Maltese: “Ghas-sahha u energija hu n***a kull fil-ghaxija”

  6. Tinnat says:

    Malta’s new vita-man.

  7. The Shadow says:

    I hate Konrad’s mouth. When he speaks his lips look like two centipedes copulating.

    For health, strength and energy, drink Ovaltine each day.

  9. Malta taghhom ilkoll says:

    Giving Konrad Mizzi the Ovaltine ministry may mean either Joseph wants him to walk the plank or else they will find an excuse to bring in John Dalli to help him out in implementing the health reform under the pretext that Konrad’s portfolio is too big for him to handle without aides.

    Thus in effect Dalli will be the actual minister for health but wouldn’t have to face the political flak.

    I know the Ministry of Health is not an easy one but isn’t it possible that there was no one capable and willing to take it. Did it have to be given to a Minister who already has a Ministry. He must be Superman.

    Exclusive from the minister this afternoon. Fenomenali.

  12. EnergyMan says:

    I must say Mizzi’s Ministry says it all. So now he will be responsible for the “fabbrika tal-kanser” and the “sptar tal-kanser”.

  13. Gladio says:

    With the appointment of Konrad Mizzi as minister for energy and health, the Marsaxlokk residents are assured of having a one stop shop. If the gas tanker explodes they are assured of an efficient medical treatment as well.

  14. Alexander Ball says:

    It’s all right, he’s not going to hurt you.

  15. Ernest Meli says:

    For “Malta taghna ilkoll” Konrad got “Cosa Nostra DJs”.

    The writing was on the wall.

  16. MM says:

    Does this mean that he’ll be taking 2 salaries? Msieken il-familja Mizzi… bil-minimum wage ghaddejjin…jahasra….

  17. Barabbas Borg says:

    How great would be if we were to have a copy of the original 1970s video? Ovaltine!

    For Glorious Health and Boundless Energy, Ovaltine!

    Konrad Mizzi – he gives you wings.

  19. pirellu says:

    Kemm hu kool Konrad taghna ser jaghmlilna party Sky. Tlaqt ninfaqa jien Cosa Nostra. Hemm xi blokka?

  20. Jb says:

    Funny that he mentioned podologists in particular, but left out psychologists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, medical lab scientists and many others.

    Are these not fenomenali as well? Is Fenomenali Mizzi being treated regularly by a podologist?

  21. zunzana says:

    Min jaf, forsi Sai Mizzi, qed tlesti t-triq biex b’xi mod jidhlu ic-Cinizi fit-tmexxija ta’ Mater Dei. Ilhom iccekkcku li jixtiequ li l-sptar jitmexxa b’management gdid.
