The Malta Council for Science and Technology chairman’s personal assistant and girlfriend has run into yet another small and prickly creature at his house in Wied is-Sewda.
And Grace Borg, the Labour candidate who wasn’t, but who is now a director of the board at Malta Enterprise, has never seen a hedgehog.
I have to admit that there weren’t many of them around Exotique.

Chez nous? Has she moved in so soon after he didn’t divorce his second wife?
Round Exotique the only creatures to be found were rats and bums.
I’ve often wondered how Exotique actually stays in business. I’ve never really seen anyone buy anything there.
Good observation – I also wondered the same for a while. In the era of digital music and all that, who still buys CDs? Plus Exotique was always a rip-off.
The situation with Exotique seems similar to one of those Chinese restaurants in the middle of nowhere in Europe, which still mysteriously remain open even if they serve only the occasional customers.

I still buy CDs simply because the quality is far superior to an MP3 which is a lossy-compression format. People don’t buy CDs because we live in a ‘something for free’ society.
Joe, I still hope you don’t shop from them though.
I’ve seen worse on a country road when a middle-aged woman and two young children approached an unfortunate Algerian hedgehog that had been flattened by a car tyre.
They gave it a wide berth with the woman calling the roadkill “Xummiemu mejjet” after the eldest of the children inquired as to what it was.
I said “Sinjura, dak qanfud; Xummiemu huwa karattru” – the woman looked at me like some crazed idiot and exclaimed “U ijjjja mhux xorta!”
Another time in Rabat, three women where chatting on a corner with one of them enthusiastically describing her weekend at the National Aquarium in Qawra:
“Rajna ‘sharks’, hut tan-‘Nemo’…”
And the conversation carried on as though it was acceptable and perfectly normal for a grown woman speaking to other grown women to refer to clown fish as ‘Hut tan-Nemo’.
I have not been to this aquarium and don’t know if there are clown fish or any other species featured in ‘Finding Nemo’, but I would expect some sort of effort to learn from seeing different aquatic species that you don’t come across everyday.
It’s perfectly acceptable to escape for a couple of hours into prime-time T.V. or a movie, but the constant battering of the brain with fictional material just encourages this ignorance.
Nine times out of ten, it’s that Joe Azzopardi who will have started it.
So for Grace Borg it’s ‘Sonic’ then. She should be able to remember the character from the over-priced, obsolete games she used to peddle.
What is it? Tghid mhux xi minotawr bix-xewk?
For a woman who never saw a hedgehog, or something that looks like one, is very unusual.
Please note Pauline Boffa’s WOW……..bil-malti hi, mela niktbugha WAWWW !!
I must admit I’ve never seen one of that size.
Is she still on board of directors at Malta Enterprise after today’s events?
