Incidentally Daphne, I adore your earrings; they’re beautiful. You’re lucky to have a son with such good taste.

X’int pinnur, Loporto.

Kont ergajt lura fuq il-passaporti u issa rega’ bdielek. Ma’ min jirbah, insomma.

Ara vera vincere u vinceremo.

The point about that photograph is not Mrs Luciano Busuttil’s choice of attire itself, but her husband’s decision to publish the picture.

I don’t know about you, but I prefer to feel that grown ups are running the country, rather than besotted teenagers with atrophied minds and extremely bad taste.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks.

Well you may say that. But hey that gives you purpose in life. It makes of the shrinking PN class one that is destined to teach the mediocre one.

No you’re right; è una scarpena.

Luciano Busuttil il-vera jifhem fl-istil.

It has become so tiring really. I admire your resilience.

A French friend who has travelled the world recently told me that nowhere has he ever seen such a high concentration of badly-dressed people. As you say, they vote for people they identify with, and the sad thing is that people here pick up and copy the most vulgar/unclassy trend of whatever is called fashionable.
