    The Queen has decided to pay a royal visit to the furthest reaches of her kingdom.

  2. Wistin Schembri says:

    It would be interesting to know the costs of the “official visit” to Comino. How will the President’s car be transported to Comino? Will there be outriders too?

    The smaller the pond, the larger the fish believes itself to be.

  3. WOW says:

    Maybe the `new` illegal road was built with this in mind.

  4. Natalie says:

    I’m a bit wary of certain stories in our newspapers. I’m convinced that some of them are spoofs. They can’t be true. A tour of Comino by the President indeed.

      After our prime minister held a press conference to announce a 2c decrease in the price of petrol, I wouldn’t be surprised at anything.

    Maybe she is an avid diver and will be taking off from the cliffs.

  6. silvio says:

    I hope she takes a look at the rubbish there is all over the place, especially behind the hotel.

    While she is there she might even notice the bad state of repair that the old quarters and the cemetery are in.

    If she intends spending the night there, I’m sure she will notice the illegal drag-net fishing in the bays.

    • La Redoute says:

      That is not a president’s business. She shouldn’t be going to Comino at all, unless it’s for R&R.

  7. Joe Fenech says:

    “ll piccolo mondo di Don Camillo”, obviously without the excellence of Cervi and Fernandel.

  8. Antoine Vella says:

    The lizards of Filfla must be so envious.

  9. Albert Bonnici says:

    Is the head of state voyaging by sea or by ‘bozza tal-plastik’?

  10. tinnat says:

    Does she know the island no longer hosts pigs?

    • observer says:

      And that, therefore, she can spend a night in the buildings now abandoned by the previous ‘guests’?

    This news article suddenly makes full sense. We can’t expect President Coleiro Preca to go about Comino on foot, do we? She’ll be taken around in a car on an illegally built road. Nobody knows who constructed it, jahasra.

  12. Wilson says:

    It was a million times nicer when it was leased.

  13. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Will she tour it clockwise or anticlockwise?

  14. mc says:

    Hasra li l-razzett tal-majjali m’ghadux hemm. Kienet tghaddi tghidlhom hello.

  15. davidg says:

    Aha, she is going to tour the island before she approves to turn part of it into a nudist beach.

  16. chico says:

    Jonathan Swift anyone?

  17. davidg says:

    In the news today. Edgarmarie visiting Comino for the next blokkbaster called; Back to the Golden Years

    I really don’t wish to be judgemental, but see this:

    “This company owns a very important parcel of land on the island of Comino, overlooking two private serene and beautiful bays. The company’s owners are currently undertaking extensive studies with a view to proceed on an ambitious development plan, which will take this unique site up-market. The development will fully respect the majestic and natural beauty of Comino.

    The trough is getting wider and longer!!

  21. verita says:

    Probably a committee will be set up to build a monument commemorating the first ever state visit to Comino.

  22. hmm says:

    This has become farcesque.
