There&#039;s another thing Ann Fenech shouldn&#039;t do, appearing in front of Mepa boards for &#039;developer&#039; clients who simply rely on breaking the spirit of regulations via legalese.

And that includes proposing a humunguous barracks on top of Xemxija to then negotiate down the number of floors. Such a waste of time, space and resources. 

Even because those &#039;entrepreneurs&#039; are simply not up to it, not when that mentality prevails. 

1992 is long gone, drunk pepe&#039; on concrete block trailer trucks celebrating ir-rebha outside Muddy Waters something that Muscat regards as the victory&#039;s ingredients. 

Doing and being must coincide in the PN if any meaning has to be produced. It&#039;s called coherence. If they won&#039;t, there&#039;s no reason not to vote Labour, anzi, with Labour in power becomes the thing to do.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I feel the same exasperation.  Chapeau to this reader.  I cannot believe that NET TV is not exploding and screaming with clips of this clown saying he&#039;ll keep his word and step down. 

Yet all hell would break loose if he were to actually keep his word, on more fronts than one.  Who will take over? Our very lukewarm bleating deputies?  I was hoping that somebody would actually rise up to the occasion, but so far from the whole Parliament the only set of balls I can see belong to Marlene Farrugia. Period.  We are not negative but we are certainly qerrieda.  You should listen to Radio 101 call ins when some labourites calls and rubs their nose in the shit.  All they can say is Grazzi talli cempilt.  Dawn bis-serjeta?  Thank God for the other listeners who call in to respond.  What&#039;s happened to our steel guys?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Excellent comment. Spot on. Simon Busuttil is just not good for the job. That is the overall feeling. 

With the Opposition fast asleep the government can do as it pleases. By now the Opposition should have regained most of the 35000 votes. When will the PN wake up, when when the gap hits 70,000?]]></description>

Well let&#039;s face it.  And it&#039;s not exactly clear why, under his watch, the Times is as far from ANYTHING Mabel Strickland would have wanted.

With that being murky, how can he command respect as Deputy Leader.

Don&#039;t think this hasn&#039;t been positioned to have a precise effect on Mario Demarco&#039;s ultimate fate.]]></description>

I think you may be right there although it is hard to believe they have thought that far ahead. 

If the PN were to win the next election the reforms and economic rigour that will be required to clean up after the mess will most likely restrict them to one term, the reason being that people will associate the PN with the hardship rather than making the obvious connection that it was of the PL&#039;s making. 

I think two terms for the PL followed by 3-4 by the PN is most likely what they are after. But Busuttil will resign after the next election thus making way for a De Marco. Yeh, rosy times ahead - sarcasm intended.]]></description>

Oh do sod off. Why should the rest of us attend Nationalist Party events, which at best are boring as f*ck, and at worst are wall-to-wall hamallagni? Life&#039;s too short to waste at that kind of thing.]]></description>
