What was that we were saying in my previous post, about how well multiculturalism works in Malta?

    Do I take “gheluq zmienek” to mean “ghalaqlek iz-zmen” – in other words “your days are over”?

    That occasion certainly does not call for “l-isbah xewqat”, now does it?

    The traditional comment for those who who had accomplished their “gheluq zmienek” was “R.I.P.” or something similar. Things do change under Labour.

    It must be genetic. Lowell was right.

    Silvio Parnis and his child-bride, trampling a perfectly good field of wheat.

    Our turnip in parliament. What were those who voted for him thinking when in that cubicle with that pencil?

    [Daphne – The people who voted for him are just like him.]

    Isn’t ‘gheluq zmienek’ means ‘the end of your days’ much as ‘ghalaqlek iz-zmien’ means ‘your time is up’ and ‘gheluq iz-zmien’ means ‘the end of days’? I thought the standard way of saying ‘birthday’ in Maltese was ‘gheluq sninek’.

    But then again, this is hardly surprising. Silvio works a lot with old people who’s birthday could easily be their last. And by the way, are those Silvio’s children?

    Why anyone would want to receive a birthday card featuring a politician and his family is beyond me. These kinds of cards simply mean “think about me even on your special day.”

    Doesn’t Parnis have anything better to do? Galvanising the south against mooring gas bombs within an urban centre springs to mind.
