Whoops then.

So the future is Arlette Baldacchino?

Cringe.

“He’s just turned sixty”. No, he hasn’t. He’s a lot older, not that it makes a difference, anyway.

Tony Bonello thinks Norman Lowell’s the future. He isn’t. He’s the remote past. Even Arlette Baldacchino knows it.

Tony Bonello voted for Norman Lowell and is proud of it.

Norman Lowell isn’t decrepit, or old. He’s just turned sixty.

[Daphne – You’re almost a decade off there. He was born in 1946. Not that I needed to check. We all have a general awareness of who is and isn’t of our generation or thereabouts, and I can tell he’s a generation my senior.]

Le Cikku, “hemm bzonn inkunu aktar qrib tal-poplu”, “lesti nahdmu id f’id mal-gvern fl-interess nazzjonali”, u “nitolbu mahfra ghall-izbalji taghna” etc etc.

Hekku tafx, Sur Bonello dawk li vvutaw lil-lejber, b’mod speċjali l-iswitchers, ( għax il-laburisti minn ġuf ommhom lanqas jekk ikunu fl-infern tad-dinja ma jammettu li qegħdin fl-infern la bagħthom il-partit tagħhom..qishom la jaraw, la jisimgħu u lanqas iħossu) bilfors li nsew il-passat traġiku li għaddejna minnu, għax kieku qatt ma kellna nerġgħu ngħaddu minn dan kollu! Lill-iswitchers se nibqgħu nafuhulhom.

I had to stay away from work for some days until it was safe for me to return.

My crime was that local people were saying that I “came” from Sliema (sic) and therefore I was a Nationalist.
