A bit of inspiration from PS for Old People Justyne ‘Chopper Squad’ Caruana, and off we go.
Ssssssh!
H. P. Baxxter is….Saviour Balzan.
WHAT I AM DOING THIS SUMMER
by H.P. Baxxter (aged 7 1/2)
Summer is at its peak. While the blazing sun shines overhead, I am maximising a well-earned holiday. Moreover, I am making hay while the sun shines.
By day, you will find me at the beach, where, without fear of erring, I will gaze upon our fine, blue, Mediterranean sea. By night, you will find me enjoying the various cultural activities which the Maltese Islands offer to tourists and locals alike. However, all work and no play makes Baxxter a dull boy, so I make sure I play and make more hay, and so to Paceville till the break of day.
Summer is a special time in Malta. One may visit the beach again, or perhaps sample some of our fine traditional Maltese food, such as spaghetti rabbit, hobz biz-zejt and chicken breast. One may also learn English at one of our outstanding English language schools. Of course I do not need this since English is my mother’s tongue.
If one feels like more traditional activities, one may indulge in a village feast or a beer festival, where one may sample some of our fine outstanding Maltese Cisk beer and even listen to various tribute bands, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the delectable Ira Losco, and the handsome but not delectable Joseph Calleja.
Summer in Malta is truly special, but since the sun shines all year, I make hay all year round and so I will buy a massive yacht by the time I am nine, so I can spend my summer in a nicer place

Try a ftira tal – inċova u kappar with your Cisk lager.
That sounds delicious.
Isn’t it “hobs biz-zejt”? I am sure that Saviour would spell it like that.
Seems like they all need some coaching in basic English grammar. It should be “than” not “then” Dr Fearne.

Sod it, tell me you’re pulling a fast one!
Do you mean to tell me I’ve been humouring Saviour Balzan most of the time?
And there I was thinking Baxxter was some ex-army official who had been posted in Germany and on retirement had come back knackered with shell shock.
I think I’ll stick to reading books not people from now on.
[Daphne – Bob, it’s a JOKE. Because, you know, Saviour Balzan wrote that I am in fact H. P. Baxxter. Saviour Balzan is inarticulate and illogical in two languages and possibly three or four, and illogical, and not particularly bright, so it is obviously not him.]
Thank heavens for that.
There was simply nothing that connected the two that I could see.
Very little opportunities for shell shock in the BAOR, unless Hess decided to throw a tantrum. It was mostly a bore.
Oh that Allied Prisoner 7.
Must have been great at Wilhelmstrasse 23 after August 25, 1987 then.
Do I take it his age has given him away?
Real Jekyll and Hyde.
Baxxter can write coherently. I guess that’s when Saviour drinks that stuff that unleashes the man in every animal.
Am still under shock.
So Saviour Balzan is the real Adrian Mole?
