Manuel Mallia should ditch that dietician…

…and find himself a girlfriend instead. Leaving his wife for a Super One reporter has caused the Justice Minister to slim down to around two-thirds of what he was a few months ago. Maybe he was a bit too bouncy for angular Janice.

    It’s called doing a Brendan (Rogers)

  2. Fake not Bake says:

    Why do you assume that he’s been going to a dietician? Something tells me his very sudden weight loss is not intentional but has to do with anxiety.

    Partly due to the revelations in this website (and the knowledge that you know more than you are telling) but also due to the fact that he knows he is out of his depth in his job.

    Muscat made Owen Bonnici a senior minister when all that Owen ever was, was someone working as a lawyer at a bank.

    Muscat is a cunning (not intelligent) man and he has done this for a reason: Owen is an idiot ruled by his genitals and so he can be manipulated.

  3. edgar says:

    Well, he might have lost a few kilos due to Janice Bartolo, but he seems to have also lost his knowledge on the law when quoting that it is the Prime Minister who sets the date for the referendum, when the law states that it is the President.

  4. WhoamI? says:

    Well the last time Manuel Mallia ditched his (first) wife, he wasn’t as big as he is now. So what do you actually wish for him? If he ditches Codruta, he’s likely to become even fatter.

  5. ciccio says:

    If Manuel Mallia is really after that coveted top position, then he should heed your advice.

    I mean it’s not good to be a fat prime minister, with all that stress.

  6. Obesity doesn’t help, anyway.

  7. Rosie says:

    At about 300 calories a go he’s being bounced repeatedly.

  8. Charlie says:

    Yes, he actually shrank.

    This is one of our star candidates who wanted to give Chad Evans a second chance – taf int, bhal ma taghtu martu wara li kien qalibiela ma dik il-bimbo l-ohra tal-Mellieha.

    Now if Janice plays her cards right, she might get a promotion from Mr Big (or is it small now?).

  9. ciccio says:

    Deal done. Xtrawh.

    Now there is one more appointment up for grabs: Government spokesperson. Who will it be?

    • ciccio says:

      So as I had suggested on an earlier opportunity, I expect the new government spokesperson to be Marlene Farrugia.

      For how can anyone expect her to criticise the government from now on?

      Good move, Dr. Muscat.

  10. Tutti Frutti says:

    It’s true he lost weight. Usually those abandoning their wives, for one reason or another, try to look slimmer and younger because of their new partner and the age gap.

    [Daphne – Not much of an age gap there; only six years or so, which is fairly normal.]

  11. makjavel says:

    Maybe he is not eating properly and the pressure is showing.

  12. Renald says:

    He has started going to the gym. I saw him a few times at the gym I go to.

  13. ciccio says:

    Here is a recommended exercise involving bouncing for the former Bullfrog Minister.

    If he is too stingy to buy one of those, he can try it on his mattress.

    • Observer says:

      Not on your nelly. He certainly won’t, my dear Ciccio.

      There’s half a million neatly stashed under it – don’t forget that.

      • ciccio says:

        Sometimes I feel sympathy for him. He was first made to reveal his hoard, and then he was sacked.

  14. ken il malti says:

    Maybe he has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?

  15. winston psaila says:

    His weight loss is due to multiple press ups. What are you all on about?

  16. CiVi says:

    At least he’s wearing a suit to fit his now smaller frame.

  17. Persil says:

    Even Owen Bonnici’s wife has lost weight. She looks miserable. She goes to work everyday and she has a child to care for.

    Now does the Justice Minister have to prepare his own meals or is it Janice who does it for him?

  18. verita says:

    I noticed that Owen has grown suddenly paler, and has lost weight and his gentle smile.
