‘important, measured and well-received speech’, he obviously didn’t hear many of the under-tongued comments.

Martin Scicluna’s sister Valerie is married to Peter de Bono, brother to ‘lateral thinking guru’ Edward de Bono.

Peter de Bono is in business with Richard Hills, who is married to Patricia aka Paddy Hills, and their home address in London (135 Holland Park Avenue) is also where Shiv Nair’s UK businesses are registered and where Shiv Nair has been known to reside since 1996, with or without his family, when he is not in Malta.

This has been a long time in the brewing.

In reply to bun-seeker. He has been given his iced bun. He is the chairman of the National Commission for Further and Higher Education.

Martin Scicluna looks like a Jewish auntie.

Ajma, jahasra, how times do change.

I still remember the esteemed major, captain or colonel (cannot for the life of me remember his rank) Scicluna in the good old early 90s never deigning to acknowledge those colleagues whose English was not up to scratch.

Perhaps he has become wiser in his (very) old age, but somehow I doubt it.

When men of 80 bend down to pick up something they look around to check whether they need to do something else while there.

Self praise is no recommendation, Martin.

Speaking of iced buns, can someone please explain to me what the current definition of expert in Malta is please? This because I found the following in Times of Malta today confusing:

”He said that following talks between the ministry, former Metropolitan chief of police John Lewis and educational expert Charles Caruana Carabez, it was decided that the college should be administered by a board made up of a chairman, deputy chairman, the Police Commissioner and two experts. Another official would be in charge of logistics.”

In reply to P Shaw. The term of the current Secretary General expires in 2016. If I am not mistaken, Michael Frendo lobbied for the position in 2008.
