Codruta is so articulate with smileys. And she had the cheek to call us ‘injuranti’.

Anyway, the country has now shifted its attention from Clocks (tal-lira) to Glocks. Way to go.

In reply to curious. U vera epic. We should have stickers produced and we should get students to stick them on all the parked cars.

Minn fejn iggibhom, Daphne. “Manuel Mallia is just Paul Sheehan with Faberge eggs”. Epic.

My goodness Manwel, another smart move. But I’m curious, is he carrying the same pistol that fires bullets at 90 degrees to the sky?

[Daphne – The thing you’re all missing is that Manuel Mallia comes from an identical background to Paul Vella and Paul Sheehan. This is his normality. It might be alien to you but it certainly is not alien to him. He just happens to have made a whole lot more money and gained access, through clever positioning and an early unsuccessful marriage, followed by an equally unsuccessful dalliance with Giannella Caruana Curran after working for her father, to the right people. Manuel Mallia is just Paul Sheehan with Faberge eggs, a career in law and a Porsche.]

No need to explain about Lazy Corner. Google did it for us;
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hamallu

[Daphne – Definitely not written by somebody from Sliema or Balluta, because it’s hopelessly wrong. It does not mean ‘hamallu’. It means sub-literate underclass Mintoffian from Sliema’s meanest streets. Those streets were called the Lazy Corner because when Mintoff introduced social benefits and political patronage in the 1970s, many of the men stopped working to live off benefits cheques or got non-jobs on the state payroll and stayed home instead of clocking in for work.]

It’s my pleasure.

Is that a gun, or are you just pleased to meet me?
