Fqajtni David, u kif stejqirt mid-daħk, ħriġt bid-deskrizzjoni tal-prim liebes it-tutu.

Għax tghid veru jħobb jidher, kieku veru jibza’ minn xi attakk ta’ xi mummy bil-ġewlaq, kif imbagħad jafda l-karozza tiegħu u tal-prim ministru fil-garaxx tar-Romblu Ħal-Qormi? Dik sigurta?

The reason I realised it was him is because behind his car there was a white one and I caught a glimpse of a blue light since I was crossing the road I got a good view of the men inside.

There were four of them and they were on their way to the prime minister’s training gym which is the Melita sports ground – no wonder there are no sessioons in the morning because the prime minister wants the gym all to himself.

He is to heavy to cart away in case of an emergency, hence the extra manpower.

Haqhmmmm… don’t mothers work too? Or have we gone back to pre women-allowed-to-vote times where a woman’s job was to stay at home with the kiddies and obey her husband?

And what about the stay at home fathers? It seems a bit out of your normal feminist methods to publish such a comment Daphne. Are you giving up your beliefs all in the name of making the Prime Minister look bad?

[Daphne – No, Jane, it was just a statement of fact that reflects the true situation. In Malta, very few women work when they have young children and most never go back to work. And all fathers with children at ballet lessons have a job. The prime minister and his wife are the prominent example of this situation I describe, so I can’t understand your surprise.]

They caused quite a commotion as they just double-parked their cars there by the side causing all traffic to slow down.

When I passed the thugs were saying “ejja hi mexxu mexxu” as if we were going to fly over their cars.

When I saw the prime minister’s car I thought I was quite stupid not realising immediately it was some showoff of the sort in the first place.

Or has he dropped all pretence and stopped going there?
