What goes up must go down. Spiccatlu l-arja u il qziez li kellu.

F’mohhi jigini l-attakk fiziku li kien ghamel dan id-dinosawru fis snin 80 fuq dak li kien editur ta’ The Democrat, Tony Mallia.

He is only PRESUMPTUOUS.

Choices and values from Adam to coffin.

Ingredients in both.

Precision.

Detail.

Discipline.

Unless you go out of your way to do some exercise and eat healthy food, you will put on at least a few extra kilogrammes. Our body has unfortunately never adapted to our lifestyles and it still stores fat as if it doesn’t know when or from where the next meal is coming.

All that said, I still find it incredibly hard to understand how people like Joe Grima manage to become so fat that they cannot walk. It simply boggles the mind. It takes more than just a little extra indulgence and lack of exercise.

It requires a particularly extraordinary effort akin to a sumo wrestler’s lifestyle (massive fatty meals and lots of beer followed by a long nap to let it settle) minus the exercise.

On American news, you regularly hear these stories about people who became so fat that they literally became one with their armchair and their significant other or family member has to feed them and clean them while still sitting in the chair. And then they die of a heart attack and have to be brought out of the house using some heavy duty machinery.

It’s sad and terrifying. How does it even happen? I know about gainers (sick individuals who get sexually turned on by becoming or helping their partner become extremely fat) but what about the rest? Is it deliberate or just an accident?

Sometimes you’re on these flights where a group of passengers start clapping when the plane lands. This time, the applause might have come when the plane took off.

You say that it is in bad taste because you think that it’s about the obese or the disabled. It is nothing of the sort.This is about public accountability.

A man who is very clearly not fit for purpose has been given a sinecure.

I have seen many people in wheelchairs who get things done easily, move around by rolling the wheels of the chair themselves and are generally full of energy. Joe Grima is definitely not one of them.

Look at the way he’s slumped, enjoying that wheelchair ride and making absolutely no effort.

Secondly, what on earth is he doing constantly on his phone? I know that this is a modern illness which affects many people but, as a public official, he should be seen talking to people and liaising with his counterparts, not having his face glued to his phone, even during meetings.

Thirdly, the man is just a leftover from the Mintoff regime. Every time he opens his mouth or puts his fingers to a keyboard, nothing but rubbish comes out.

The man is 79, for God’s sake. He should have been disposed of long ago. And no, that’s not an ageist comment. Joe Grima was awful even when he was young.
