Manwel carries his 500,000 euros in cash with him all the time stashed in his pants.

That is the reason why he looks exactly like the Michelin Man.

If you did scrape some other car’s mirror and got out of your car to …apologise? Examine the damage? Whatever the reason you got out of your car.

Now that’s hardly a reason to have a gun pulled on you. Something more sinister was going on. Surely.

Wrong.

Ask Charlon Gouder.

It is a one way just off/opposite the school’s side gate before one makes a right turn and then a left which takes you to the school’s main gate and on to the National Swimming Pool.

And as a matter of fact I was wondering if any cars, which are daily parked across, might have been hit.

[Daphne – Yes, that’s the one. But it’s not where Sheehan’s mother lives. I don’t think of the National Pool Area as Gzira. I think of it as Msida/Tal-Qroqq.]

Can someone with access to recent data confirm if there is such a surname registered in Triq Wied il-Kappara?

Or maybe the lady in question has another surname?

[Daphne – Sheehan’s mother does not live in Triq Wied il-Kappara, Tal-Qroqq. That’s where Sheehan confronted Smith with a gun after chasing him FROM his mother’s house in Gzira. Then he chased him again into the tunnel.]

What I had in mind where even journalists who of course need protection, and I can remember some who had police protection in front of their houses, for months on end.
And rightly so.

[Daphne – Actually that was foisted on me, Mr Loporto. I couldn’t get rid of them soon enough. They worked on shifts and some of them were clearly Peeping Toms and spies. When the Police Commissioner again insisted I accept police protection in the run-up to the last general election, I told him that if he sent them without my permission I would accidentally set the dogs on them. He insisted and insisted and eventually gave up. As if I want that level of tseksik around me.]

This is the consequences of all the hate that is generated by the hate campaigns most of them are subjected to .by our so called free press.

[Daphne – Ara kemm ghandi bzonn hafna izjed armed protection jiena, mela, Sur Loporto. Qabda pussies. They have armed protection because they get off on it. He loves that whole guns ‘n’ uniforms thing, you can tell. Or at least, I can tell. It goes with his entire far right, hardline, authoritarian Georg Haider outlook. I can also tell that if he were a bit more svelte, he would be role-playing with Codruta in some of the meanest uniforms from 20th-century history, all of which unoftunately belong to the nastiest regimes.]

Perhaps the need to feel important — why else would you have armed guards…?
