In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Leave them alone. They were only reviewing the food and service for The Sunday Times restaurant column.

Months since I last purchased a copy of the rag, apart from very rare occasions such as having an appointment at Mater Dei when, with deep regret, I take the day’s copy with me. I’m still borrowing the Classified from the old lady downstairs who doesn’t stir before noon giving me ample time to go through it & replace it behind her door.

Surely you don’t think that Maria Micallef only works as Air Malta’s chairman all day, every day. She is considered to be one of the main war horses of the group of companies that employs her and they roll her out wherever she can add some more clout to whatever is at hand.

Whether it’s right or wrong that the chairman of our national airline is actively involved in other private businesses is beside the point, but it’s a fact. What I’m saying is that there’s lots more she could be discussing with Herman over supper.

In reply to Lizz. They're on a mad, blind rush for the freebies (and more) and to hell with journalistic integrity. Basically, a Labour mentality.

I stopped reading the ToM, aeons ago. All their ‘top’ journalists seem to be interested in these days, is competing to write one ‘good’ sobbing story (of the type that pulls heart strings), that wins them some kind of journalistic accolade. They spend the rest of their time socializing, re-hashing press releases, and making sure they don’t tread on important toes – lest they lose the opportunity for that annual award they’ve been fighting so hard for.

Back to that dinner of last week, maybe they were discussing the prospect of having a Chinese edition of The Sunday Times on those Beijing-Malta direct flights soon to be operated by the Air China/Air Malta group.

I am wondering how that front page story about a man and his dog would be of interest to Chinese readers, though.

“Maybe now we can expect a big, breaking story on the sale of Air Malta in The Sunday Times.”

The impression I get is that the bigger the story, the more The Sunday Times is likely to hide it rather than break it.
