I used a more sophisticated algorithm and found a grand audience total of 67. Minus the Maltese contingent makes it around 55.

Further pity the same – having no visible means of silently sneaking out of the classroom after no more than five minutes of rubbish, balderdash and silly ‘humour’ issuing from the stodgy creature standing behind the lectern.

Unlike you, I’d pay good money to see a prime minister do stand-up comedy.

Not really ciccio. I assure you that if ginger wonder boy decided to make a speech in my living room, I’ll make sure I’d stay on my roof for the duration.

If it is him, then what’s in it for him? Anything to do with the EMCS UK-interest?

Hallas gahan!
