And Marlene Farrugia is not Mrs Farrugia because she&#039;s not married to Godfrey Farrugia and Farrugia is her maiden name.

					<description><![CDATA[His father is Lawrence Mizzi, one of the Mintoffian cohort, along with Louis Grech, who were pivotal in Air Malta in the Golden Years of Labour.

He keeps throwing those English expressions into the mix to create the impression that he grew up round the corner from where I did and in a roughly similar family (ironically, nobody I know talks like that), but the reality is that he is no different in social background to the thugs shouting and screaming in Xarabank&#039;s audience yesterday. 

His father just happened to be one of Dom Mintoff&#039;s pets and made money that way.

I think Konrad Mizzi&#039;s real problem is that he has an autism spectrum disorder - I would say Asperger&#039;s syndrome - but then I am not qualified to speak.

This would make him extremely easy for the prime minister to manipulate and also ideal fodder for the front line.

					<description><![CDATA[St Dorothy&#039;s Primary School in Sliema was co-ed from the beginning. It was co-ed when I was there in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and this was the main reason I could never get used to an all-girl environment when I transferred to senior school in Mdina in 1975. I absolutely hated it.]]></description>
