How utterly tragic – not just the cake and the situation, but the need to tell us about it on Facebook
Let this be a serious lesson to all parents: let them get out of their system whatever they have to get out of their system at the appropriate age.
Because those who don’t go through all the stages of development at the appropriate time are going to try doing, when they are well past life’s halfway mark, what they should have been doing in their teens and 20s. And worse than that, they will be fixed in a time warp in which they fail to notice that the people they envied for being ‘cool’ at the appropriate time have long since moved on and the only birthday cakes they’re posting on Facebook, if at all, are their grandchildren’s.
The chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology’s fascination with birthday cakes, candles and telling the world about them tells me one thing above all: that these are just the cakes and birthday attention he wanted in childhood and didn’t get.
It’s only a matter of time before he brings out the Action Man paper jelly-plates and matching streamers, and makes Miss Boffa put on a party dress and white socks and play pass the parcel with him, and pin the tail on the donkey.
He’s in London with his girlfriend on his 51st birthday, and instead of taking her to dinner at J. Sheekey and forgetting about Malta and everyone and everything in it, he’s ordered a teenager’s cake and his main focus is on photographing it for Facebook for his hamalli Facebook friends to admire. I am actually astonished at how far gone he is.

AMEN.
The guy has completely lost it. He is living in a world of his own. The downward journey has started.
“Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.”
The Beatles
The fool on the hill is the taxpayer.
and those who waste their precious time following this garbage
I can see a coffin. Where’s the cake?
You should know that this immature state funded boy is doing it just to bring to your attention and in fact he is succeeding. He loves the attention.
[Daphne – No, you’re wrong. It’s my admiration and envy he wants. And when he gets my contemptuous laughter instead, he fires off a string of neurotic and cracked text messages, as he did yet again a couple of nights ago, one after the other. Because apparently he is incapable of putting all his thoughts, chaotic as they are, into one message. Il-vera miskin. Issa joqghod ma’ Anthony Quinn liebes parokka http://www.art.com/products/p15360254-sa-i3710255/a-dream-of-kings-anthony-quinn-1969.htm . Min jaf x’gost and how scintillating the high-IQ conversation is with the vacuous Miss Boffa. At least Carmen has brains after a fashion, though they didn’t stop her getting entangled with such a vicious and unstable loser.]
Daphne, you omitted a crucial point: his two previous wives did not need him and were financially independent, which is why he couldn’t stand being around them.
Unlike this desperate, insignificant young woman who thinks he is a status symbol.
Why do you think she thinks he is a status symbol?
He is her employer. She is dependent on him. She hasn’t much choice. She’s doomed.
Why are you assuming that there is conversation with Lara Blow far?
Apparently, not much else if he keeps sending messages to Daphne in the middle of the night.
Maybe she’s only using him and she will leave as soon as she doesn’t need him anymore which I’m is guessing soon.
Conversation with the vacuous Jeffrey Pullicino can’t be scintillating, so I’d say they’re a good match.
Aren’t you tempted to publish any of those texts?
Naf li Novembru ix-xahar tal-mejtin imma biex taghmel cake forma ta’ lapida jew tebut kerha naqra.
Why does he sign off “Have a great weekend – with Lara Boffa”?
Is she up for grabs, and is she so much fun?
He probably considers her a trophy, seeing that she is young enough to be his daughter.
If she really were a trophy, somebody would have carried her off by now. She’s 35, and nobody ever bothered. Hence Jeffrey. Or is it Jeff now.
From the photo of her we’ve seen a few days ago, I see no trophy at all. Quite the opposite actually.
OK. Who is going to tell him that Father Christmas does not exist?
My God, then after that we’ve got to break the bad news about the Tooth Fairy.
Oh sorry, the Tooth Fairy is him.
Where’s that Father Christmas hat of his?
Well, the PL brigade needs to keep calm, following the failure of everything the PL had planned for during this administration.
Poor guy. How pathetic.
I do not pity him. He is getting what he deserves and that is scorn.
I pity his children.
A coffin covered with Smarties for his 51st birthday. Lost it big time.
Quite a big cake for two people. I press Like Jeff, and you press Share before you start dancing.
Forget the Calm bit, it’s your 51st, so get down and boogie. Hit the floor with your very best Dad Moves.
You think that’s bad? You’ve forgotten already that until a couple of years ago he used to dye his hair brown. You should have seen him at the hairdresser with all the ladies and tinfoil on his head.
He’s going to dance all night because doing anything else at night with a woman is apparently out of the question.
Yes, it’s really crowded in Labour’s closet, isn’t it. Some of them don’t even know they’re in it. Then you get all that rage and spite.
When are we going to sing happy birdy to Franco?
I’ll say this for that other madman – he doesn’t inflict his cakes or his girlfriends on us.
Franco has been posting pictures on his Facebook from Milan.

Someone asks if it’s the Barcelona cathedral.
Hopefully he went to the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele across from where he is standing and stepped on the bull’s balls – it may bring him luck with the birds.
His downward journey came to light with the Mistra case. He fooled a good number of people. I definitely was not one of them. I read through the person instantly. He is a downright liar with no scruples.
None of his have any scruples Mr Sinclair.
But for how long will she have this daddy syndrome? He isn’t wise or mature and he doesn’t seem to be interesting or have a sense of humour.
If you read his wife’s petition to the courts to have their marriage declared null (it’s somewhere on this website) you’ll see that those are the least of his problems and shortcomings. There are far more serious issues.
A whole cake for a couple? What a waste. Or has Norman Hamilton thrown a party for him at the Haj Komixin?
That Josette Hamilton will scoff the whole thing unaided.
And because it’s his 51st birthday and his biological clock is ticking, he’s calling himself “Jeff”. Daqt jibdlu ghal “Geoff” ghax aktar cool.
[Daphne – No, he changed one of his four FB profiles to Jeff after somebody reported him to Facebook for having multiple profiles: Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando I, II, III and IV. That person posted a comment here saying he had done so. Literally within 24 hours, he renamed his four profiles differently. So now his FB profiles are called Jeff Pullicino Orlando, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando IV. Then he has a Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Public Group and a page for Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando (government official). Yes, I know.]
Has he now forgotten his ‘Smith’ piece? A pity.
I always remember to insert it when mentioning it in my comments.
People can keep reporting his profiles. Facebook will ask for identification. He can’t tell them he’s Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando IV (as if he’s the fourth generation JPO).
He should have opened his SINGLE profile to followers but he’s so stupid and unable to do that. He keeps violating the FB TOS and I and others will report him for that.
Keep calm is excellent advice to ‘Jeff’.
As to dancing all night, it’s obvious he doesn’t have to work very hard during the day.
Probably he meant chasing around.
Comment of the day:
Sue Camilleri in The Malta Independent
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat never convinced me and I happen to be a floating voter.
I never did buy the election result, 36 thousand.
Anything is possible with this lot.
You know, I’ve begun to wonder about that 36, 000 too.
“Because those who don’t go through all the stages of development at the appropriate time are going to try doing, when they are well past life’s halfway mark, what they should have been doing in their teens and 20s. ”
This is what many people in Malta fail to understand, sadly. And we see many people like this too, though it is not their fault that they had strict Tal-Muzew parents.

The man has a soft spot for dictatorships.
Malta’s own Walter Mitty.
What a git. He’s insulting his so-called dear friends FB well-wishers by telling them he will be unable to answer them all.
So who will be the chosen few getting an answer from him? Lucky them. Of course he’s able to answer them all. He just can’t be bothered. It would have been more appropriate had he just thanked them, and stopped there. Wally.
Has he broken his duck yet? Because really.
Looks like the message on the cake says it all. He cannot do much more at night than keeping calm and dancing.
Michael Jackson. Rest in Peace .
Keep calm, dance all night, then go to a pastizzi shop and lose your cool.
Dan kont nivvotalu u tradiena. Darbtejn insiru tfal. Suppost jinsab fl-aħjar tal-irġulija tiegħu. Illum lanqas kelma m’għandu, aħseb u ara rġulija.
Any future court case is f***ed up.

Is Don Manuel still a minister? Come next Tuesday he will attend Cabinet and discuss his own predicament.
They can do as many investigations, internal and external, as much as they like. Nobody can be legally convicted of anything in this scenario.
Where’s Joseph Muscat this morning? Still confused by the ‘smoke’ of the honoraria?
I’m positive this was the poor woman’s reaction to your post when you pointed the miserable meringue industrial cake she gave him in Malta. She tried to overcompensate, and got it completely wrong.
Edible (if you don’t mind the sugar and E- colouring rush) printed cake toppers went out of fashion years ago as the novelty soon wore out.
If she wanted to show how well-versed she is in technology (this being the Malta Council for Science and Technology they work for), she should have gone for edible 3D printing, not that I expect her to know what 3D printing means.
If she wanted to do something classy, an afternoon tea at The Ritz would probably have been more appropriate. I’m sure they serve Earl Grey.
Is he on something? Or did someone spike his drink – again?
This reminds me of the famous phrase : “Let them eat cake” literally.
All you who write on witch blokk is cowerd!! JPO he is smart@sexy and he can cake you all on.
Or something to that effect.
