Something in his gaze had me looking up Razzu. City of London on Facebook says he’s 18 years dead already.
[Daphne – Razzu! I’d forgotten all about him, and yes you are right.]
Razzu was a good, simple man who was misunderstood and taken advantage of by a number of insensitive people who really should have known better.
Agree. I hear he got quite an eulogy at his funeral mass from the City of London owner.
Who was Razzu?
A character who had impressed me – as M.Borg said, he was manipulated like a fiddle, anything for a drop. It was sad to see.
@Il-Ginger – Razzu was a small, simple and harmless man who had a severe drink problem, and whom various individuals thus thought funny to ply with alcohol at Saddles, Tony’s Bar, etc in Spinola purely for their own warped entertainment in the 1980s and possibly up to the mid-1990s.
Were Razzu still alive, I believe he’d probably be in his 60s by now.
This is Razzu https://www.facebook.com/www.cityoflondonmalta.net/photos/pb.220640384676961.-2207520000.1416260792./745280635546264/?type=1&theater
Watch what you call him, or he might get funny ideas – http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Razzle%20or%20Razzu
Nothing about that party looks very good but Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando really takes the biscuit.
He looks totally wasted.
Dak ghaliex certu nies ma jikbru qatt. U ghalhekk ghandu girlfriend tigi qisha bintu.
You are so right, Razzu’s gaze. Even his posture – he seems just about able to stand upright without toppling over, as unfortunately used to happen to Razzu in his latter years.
Woman in strapless top needs serious reality check. Wrong crowd though.
Is Earl Grey some brand of whisky?
Is his face bloated due to an excess of alcohol or botox? It’s either one, the other or both.
I see the woman in the second photo inadvertently got the direction of the V sign correct.
Why is that woman in the second picture giving Jeffrey a two-fingered salute?
Is he already lining up the successor to Ms Boffa?
I like how Malta is going nuts recently.
20-30 year olds are going to wine bars and the 30-50 year olds are going clubbing.
Razzu…had forgotten about him.
When everything is going as he wishes, Jeffrey has such a pathetic look.
They’re making fun of you, JPO.
Why is that woman (falling backwards) in the second photo flipping a birdie at the chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology?
Poor Razzu! Can you stop insulting his memory by comparing him to…that…oh, never mind.
‘Tal-biki’ as they say in Maltese.
Brown belt and black shoes – NO!
Is all this anxious concern by the good denizens of Qormi about bananas because ”Ta’ Hal-Qormi sa nofs in-nhar irġiel”?
Hanging out with wash-outs.
How sad to see people like these pretending to still be in their teens and twenties.
Where was the party held?
Hanks
Sorry, but who or what was Razzu?
Ir-Razzu was a common sight in St. Julian’s.
Although he was blown out of his mind most of the time he was quite harmless even when drunk which was practically all the time he was awake.
In his final years his eyes became more and more vacant while his face became more and more battered.
It used to be said that he inflicted the damage on himself when drunk but I have my doubts.
[Daphne – That facial damage is caused by heavy alcohol consumption over a prolonged period.]
I didn’t know that. I thought he was abused when drunk.
We all are entitled to happiness. What is wrong in enjoying oneself without hurting anyone? Because two marriages failed it does not mean that the third one will also fail.
[Daphne – It generally does, Persil, if the reasons for the failure of the first two marriages are identical and the problem lies with the specific individual. Some people are simply unfit for marriage and inflict themselves on unsuspecting others who think that this time it will be different and the problem was not the man but the other women he married. There is everything wrong with ‘enjoying oneself’ like that in your 50s – for a start, because it’s not ‘enjoying oneself’ at all. It carries the stink of despair. That’s the way you meet people for sex, not the way you meet them for love and companionship in late middle to old age.]
In fact I noticed JPO has a boner in the first photo.
What made you look there in the first place?
Nice ‘V’ sign in the second pic but there’s a load of slack on that arm.
I suggest avoiding such poses when one is over 65….What? She isn’t over 65? Well she had me fooled.
