					<description><![CDATA[People keep saying that the above police officer is a woman. The report about the reinstatement of police officers says that TWO women police officers were reinstated. In the group photograph, there are two women on the left, which presumably means that all the rest are men.

I&#039;m still not entirely convinced that the Robert Plant lookalike is a woman.

This LADY has taken it upon herself &quot;to serve and protect&quot; our country - can any of you apply to do the same or do you even have the guts with the crime levels in Malta today? Instead of shaming this person, one should congratulate her.  These people who has sarcastically written on this topic all should take a hard look at themselves  in a mirror, no one has the ability to cast any stones. For all you know, she may appear in the papers one days after saving someone&#039;s life.  This is the kind of person SHE probably is!!!!!!!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I&#039;m afraid I genuinely thought this reinstated police officer is a man, and looking at the picture again and again, I still think so. There is nothing to indicate that it is a woman. Some people have suggested the button-side of the jacket and shirt, but Mrs Muscat wore a jacket that buttons up on the &#039;male&#039; side for the opening of parliament, and it doesn&#039;t make her a man. But I shall have to take your word for it as you know the person and so know the facts. I am not, however, going to congratulate her on &#039;serving and protecting&#039;. If she had wanted to do that, she wouldn&#039;t have left the force in the first place. This reinstatement business strikes me as a bit of opportunism. I doubt that these older people will be tramping the streets fighting crime.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Something ominous and savage lurks behind your reaction to my comment.  NEITHER POLITICS OR PLACES OF WORK were the issue here but a simple response to what seemed unnecessary comments about the looks of another person irrespective of her political beliefs.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - There is nothing ominous or savage in my reaction, Mr Caruana Carabez. It is an attempt at explaining to you how your sort of behaviour can harm your employer&#039;s business. It is you who are savage, though not ominous because you are merely stupidly obsessed. I have seen your comments about me all over the internet. You bother to use your own name. This would have been admirable in itself were it not for the fact that it is a really bad idea for you to attack your customers at a personal level, especially when they are not really your customers at all but your &lt;em&gt;employer&#039;s&lt;/em&gt; customers. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, but merely good manners and common sense. If you are prepared to take someone&#039;s money, don&#039;t be rude to them or about them. I stopped walking into the Flamingo showroom the day I realised that the Alex Caruana Carabez who is vile about me on the internet is the one who is quite happy to take my money and make his commission on a television set or a washing machine. I hadn&#039;t made the link before. As soon as I did, I took my business elsewhere. There&#039;s a basic lesson here: respect your customers, because this is no longer a Mintoffian monopoly market, much as you would like it to be.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

I am a rabble-rouser because I am related to Dun Mikiel Xerri from my mother&#039;s side (I kid you not) and I don&#039;t think I ever visited Lowell Massachusetts yet.

Polythene Pam is getting short shrift and deserves better because 99% of us do not know her and there is a very good chance she might be a excellent human being.  

Everyone is judging her from one cropped photo  where she appears to have a  preponderance for male inspired attire, which is her right to do so.]]></description>

That look was perfect for busting pot-smokers and maybe junkies in the 70s &#038; 80s. But now your average weekend recreational coke or ecstasy user would look down on such a specimen as a loser, with suspicion and disdain. 

On another note however, Chris Engerer probably knows him from his former drug busts.]]></description>
