It’s the start of the silly season, so let’s stick with Jason
Imagine going to the Chamber of Commerce (David Curmi must have been thrilled) and taking the sort of ‘tifkira/arani ma’ photograph you might take at, say, the gate to Buckingham Palace.
Ah, but hang on a minute. That is now his office too. This is when he is chairman of V18 and not when he is chairman of Super One.
I wonder if he got that suit from Awsteen Reet. Well, when he casts it off at the end of the season, the lucky recipient might find a brown envelope in the inside pocket.
You can see that he’s learned by now that there’s no place for brown suits in today’s world. He’s also learned how to mask his disproportionately short legs (like many Maltese, his torso looks like it actually belongs on a longer pair) by the simple expedient of cutting the photograph off and leaving the rest to our imagination.

He’s standing at his office door.
Jolly good show. I see the massive salary is being spent well.
Zombies eat brains. Jason, you’re safe.
Potted plants hanging from that trellis next.
Ghax V18.
Easy on him everybody, or he might just take the plunge and leap over those rails.
Qieghed fil-palazz tal-laqa.
May I suggest a small tender box in the chamber lobby to receive names of applicants for the suit come end of season?
Is this guy straight? Just curious don’t know that much.
X’size jilbes Jason? I quite like that suit when he casts it off.
Daphne I am taking this opportunity to thank you publicly. I actually took scores of photos in this same spot and I went through them all. I choose the one here because I felt it was the best.
I now know, through your keen observation, that this was actually the best of them because it gave the false impression of longer legs.
I will use this hint from now onwards thanks to you. I will shoot or crop photos just below the knee.
Jason, the shirt’s cuffs should show. But there again, there are other aspects of you that clothing can’t fix.
Hello Jason.
You should have the jacket sleeves shortened. Two inches I should think. It will be hard to find a tailor who will agree to shorten the sleeve from the shoulder. They will invariably shorten the cuff, and you may even lose the non-working cuff altogether. Good luck, and may I remark in passing that this is the sort of thing you cannot buy from Amazon. Maltese retailers/shopkeepers take heed.
You should have taken it to Austin Reed’s own tailoring department, but no use bemoaning the past eh?
And perhaps a pocket square?
Sleeves still too long Jason. Obviously Ostinn Rijt aren’t looking after you. They obviously can’t believe what a VVIP you are, or should one say, you purport to be.
Cannot see his shoes. Are they brown and is he still wearing white socks?
Read The Sunday Times editorial. What everybody is noticing and feeling. Standards are going down fast. I am nearly sorry already that I did not vote PN again.
At least they tried and standards were going up…now all goes.
Oh! I love that debonair look and the poise is superb, perhaps a slight tilt of head would have further embellished the photograph. You know, the Varist Bartlu kind of tilt.
