Sandro Chetcuti is coming to live near the smart people and the Taghna Lkollers Tal-Flus
The tone of the neighbourhood is about to be lowered massively in Wardija (we have no such problem in Bidnija, which has been home to all sorts, including murderers and whoremongers, for years).
This house is poised on the edge of the valley that separates Bidnija and Wardija. It is slated to be Sandro Chetcuti’s new home.
I hasten to point out that Chetcuti did not build it, though it seems much more extensive than I remember it, so he could have added on quite a bit. It has been there for years. Brian Mizzi lived in it for a while, as I recall. But you can see from these pictures taken this week that there’s lots of building activity going on there, some of it involving a crane.
Typical, isn’t it. Imbasta hafna Mintoff is-Salvatur u Taghna Lkoll u jien ragel tal-poplu – imbaghad ma marax joqghod Tas-Silg jew il-Fgura.
THERE IS NOWHERE SAFE FROM THESE PEOPLE. NOWHERE.

Wardija residents will be looking at the Classified Section of the newspapers this Sunday. Newspaper distributors, please note.
Why is he leaving Marsascala? Too close to the gas tanker?
Yep!
Sandro Chetcuti has a big, luxurious villa ‘Leminic Ville’ in Triq il-Qaliet, Marsascala – but now he wants a smarter address.
Social climbing experts.
Here they are, plotting to take over the MENA region. Those six thinking hats will come in useful, particularly in Libya, Syria and Gaza.

Are the building works covered by a MEPA permit? Anyone care to find out?
What is he going to do with that huge white elephant he built in Marsascala and which, if memory serves me right, is next door to some tyre repair outlet?
Now is the time to submit a development application for a mega apartment block in that valley, right under his property. Then we will see if he will make objections with MEPA.
What’s wrong with Tas-Silg?
[Daphne – Nothing, but people never move there unless they’re from roughly that area in the first place, or from a completely different country.I think Franco Debono has a house there.]

The only decent person of mention who ever lived there (apart from various Romans and Phoenicians) was Sir Stanley Matthews.
It’s still hideous. For all its pretensions of a Beverly Hills mansion, it screams Calabrian illegally-built villa.
Overpowers the place, no crispness or depth of line and the tackiest of detailing leaving it impoverished of texture.
Just hate those wooden accents supposedly memory, more a two fingered salute to missierijitna.
Totally Calabria Saudita. The stuff of news footage with hooded Carabinieri moving in to arrest the boss.
Architects have so much to answer for.
Sounds like a case of him trying to flee his class.
[Daphne – Well, I suppose that’s how most started out – robber barons, slave traders, crooked dealers and so on, with their descendants now at the top of the social food chain many generations on – but it’s funny seeing it happening before your eyes.]
A villa in Wardija, like his Ferraris, will not move his respectability standing any notch up.
“THERE IS NOWHERE SAFE FROM THESE PEOPLE. NOWHERE.”
That’s paranoid.
[Daphne – No, it is reality. In larger countries, there are lots of places which are safe from such people. In Malta, there isn’t even one. ]
“In Malta, there isn’t even one.”
You made my day. Thanks for the laugh.
[Daphne – Well, you know, Concetta, people like you have the run of the country and have probably failed to notice that anybody who is different has completely disappeared from public view. Have the non-Sandro Chetcuti/Silvio Parnis/Michelle Muscat types been rendered extinct, do you think? No, they just stay away from public spaces and move between one completely private space and another. This is a bad sign. It is what happens in under-developed countries when people of that sort feel threatened or culturally excluded and outnumbered.]
Ironically you can find the biggest evidence of our statement when you’re on a boat at sea. You find yourself surrounded by hamalli speeding past you and hamalli putting down anchor in your vicinity.
Daphne, you do not know anything about me, but please do go on with your rant. You are so entertaining.
[Daphne – That’s right, Concetta, and you know nothing about me either, but the main difference between us is this: I deal in words and can spot the subtleties, spite and hostility in the sub-text at first glance. What less practised eyes will not notice is, to me, a language loud and clear. You would be astonished to know how many accurate assessments I can make about you from just the few sentences you have written here, and the context. I don’t make a point of doing it or even spend time thinking about it – it’s automatic, the way a painter looks at a painting and picks up things which the rest of us won’t notice.]
Yes I am really astonished.
Do go on ….
I’ve know Sandro for years we used to canvas Manuel Borda together back in the 90’s. Sandro is a good business man, who worked hard to what he is today. Apart a house in Fgura he has a splendid villa in M’Scala with a nice view. 3 Ferrari’s. Now I believe you are jealous of others DCG.
[Daphne – Go back to shooting Somali pirates, Tony. If you weren’t so dull-witted you’d see that it’s the other way round. It’s Sandro Chetcuti who’s planning to abandon his “splendid villa in M’Scala with a nice view” and coming to live where I have lived since the age of 26; I have no plans whatsoever to abandon my own home for a splendid villa in Marsascala, even though I will now be seeing rather more of Sandro Chetcuti than I want to because he clearly thinks that the area where I live is more prestigious (I use a word he would use) than the area where he lives.
People like me don’t like Ferraris and have no particular affinity for men who drive them. Ferraris are there for the Carmen Ciantars of this island.]
Allow me to expand on that, Daphne.
Tony, Sandro Chetcuti has the wrong Ferraris.

But that means tinkering, real passion and taste.
A bit like gardening, obviously your good business man prefers a manicured lawn.
The problems with Ferrari started when the street cars turned red.
The tone in Wardija was lowered long before Sandro Chetcuti arrived:
