The Christmas greetings are hereby reciprocated.
The black contours of this image represent the path of the monorail track covering different locations around Malta.

You may indeed be onto something here. A quick check on the internet for Baku and monorail yields this following ambiguous news item. http://abc.az/eng/news/81372.html
I can’t seem to dig up any further information, not even about whether there is a monorail in Azerbaijan (although there is certainly a monorail station).
On a more serious note, do they think the EU is run by people of the intellectual capacity of the average Labour voter?
Do they seriously believe the EU is going to hand us 1.5 BILLION (Alfred Sant please note) euro from a EUROPEAN STIMULUS PACKAGE so we can turn around and hand it to the CHINESE?
Isn’t it obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that
So, since I am an innocent naive soul, can someone tell me that Joey and his buddies have some Machiavellian plan which would make this work?
(Apologies for the shouting)
Where were the security forces when the Libyan embassy got taken over by Libyan sympathizers of the Islamic fundamentalist movement in Libya?

People are worried about this turn of events, and rightly so. Is the Prime minister sleeping?
The Malta monorail is a Chinese proposal to prove China’s interest in utilising the island as a hub for its trade and business with Europe, or so we are led to understand.
Meanwhile, an entry in this morning’s Press Digest in the Times of Malta says:
Baltic Times reports Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang, accompanied by 200 executives, is visiting Belgrade to advance projects which includes plans to turn Greece’s port of Piraeus into a hub for China’s trade with Europe. The talks involve 16 heads of central and eastern European nations.
Where does that leave us? Wasn’t the hub supposed to be Malta? Or was that only another MOU, not a real promise or a contract?
Yes fine, but why do they have to propose the stupidest of technologies?
I can imagine the chaos if they had to resorting to plant concrete stilts everywhere.
Or do we get these in the baroque idiom?

The Wignacourt monorail?
The monorail in Sydney stopped operating because of heavy losses.
I wonder which parts of Malta they will operate?
Looks like a crooked straight line to me: the Bahamas, Malta, Baku, Shangai.
A photo that should embellish every single page of every single 2015 calendar.
I would suggest you remove this image as some idiot would consider it an excellent idea of marrying the new with the old technologies and if public sentiment goes sour on it, it’s Daphne’s fault.
No, I suggest the image stays there. The line should also travel on top of all the rubble stone walls along the new road networks out of towns, like that between Mgarr and Mosta. There is a wall on each side, so they can have two rails in operation.
More ideas, please.
Around Valletta on top of the bastions?
I quite see it going through Burmarrad and circling Castille.
So it has become Azerbaijan fil-Mediterran.
That is a fantastic work of art.
Mixing the old with the new.
Congratulations.
On another issue .
Bank of Valletta pays the government €4.6 million to extend its lease on the House of the Four Winds:

Then the government uses that money to pay the Cafe Premier operators €4 million, and they in turn pay off their bank loan…to Banif Bank.
Bank of Valletta had a sharp decrease in profit mainly due to the large number of new employees.
It is operating like a government entity with new jobs and promotions being given as iced buns to Taghna Lkoll people.
The unnecessary extra cost in salaries is eating away at the profits.
Other Maltese banks like Lombard have shown an increase in profits in the past year.
The monorail is a white elephant like the Red China Dock.
Has this country lost its mind?
Do we really want to ruin what is left of Malta?
If we really need a train, then it should be underground.
Oh but that’s the trick, the monorail will be both above and under ground. Fancy that, they said tunnels are too expensive to bore, so let’s just do them all the same AND plonk a humungous T beam resting on columns everywhere.
Invading any space left for the public.
Socialists.

Oh no, someone lost their view of the crystal clear blue sea.
She can get Kenneth to paint her one.
