Now's your chance to poke around Saviour's 'en suite'

Published: October 3, 2011 at 2:39pm

Saviour Balzan is selling his expertly and elegantly converted matchless Townhouse in Naxxar with permit for swimming pool on roof, my dears. He advertised it in his newspaper yesterday.

He doesn’t say it’s his, of course, because he won’t be wanting any ‘tourists’, but that number there takes you straight to Mrs Balzan (Mark II).

Let’s help him move it, shall we? Att ta’ karita. Daqxejn pro bono. He might need to give Malta Today another capital injection, or maybe he’s starving under gOnEzipN.

Or perhaps it’s just that Mrs Balzan (Mark II) has worked out that, Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca scenarios apart, that house is 100% his but if he sells it and uses the money to buy another one, preferably with an actual swimming-pool rather than just a permit to fit one into the roof, it will be 50% hers.

Well, there have to be some compensations for being married to the King of Al Qaeda Kidnap Videos.

Whatever – let’s just help him sell it, and should you be in Naxxar and feel like seeing How The Other Half Lives (Mrs Balzan’s other half, that is), ring 7701 7171 and make like you’re really gagging for a look at those skylights and that ‘master large bedroom with ensuite bathroom and Maltese balcony’.

    He should sell it in no time. Kollox unique – grand- large – private – matchless – special.

      And its USP is that the lucky buyer gets to put a ‘plakka’ on the facade:

    I thought ‘matchless’ was a brand of motor cycle.

    A Matchless would probably be suitable for Saviour and Mk II to take a hike on.

  3. Jozef says:

    I thought Matchless built motorbikes.

    A three bedroomed townhouse in Naxxar in need of extensive restoration at €370,000?

    No. I think €300,000 makes more sense.

    Or else, he could include the garage.

    A comment from your typical lanzit-riddled Malta Today reader.

    counterfeit products do not carry the stigma of the past because the counterfeiters pay a licence fee to the original houses instead of staying liable to confiscation of their fake products including factories, hefty fines, and imprisonment. However Maltese people under Gonzi bills and late ARRIVA for work have no choice but go fake. Having said that though only people as Gonzi’s FAKE LOO Bondi can actually afford an original Les Paul guitar even though by his own finally FORCED admission confirms his not being able to play properly after 20 or so years trying …. Gist of the story is … do we really care as long as FAKE LOO Bondi gets out of our face….

      It’s incomprehensible. I can work out that it’s lanzit-ridden from the tone, but not from the meaning.

    The pleasures of sleeping in Saviour’s bed…

    This champion of liberalism has decided to block my access to Malta Today’s website for the very simple reason that my comments do not go down well with him.

    • Sixfooter says:

      It happens to me on this blog as well and confirmed by the Ms. herself.

        Sixfooter, you probably tend to put all your six feet in your mouth.

      • GiovDeMartino says:

        It may happen to you occasionally.

        My access to the Malta Today site has been automatically blocked and even if I post a harmless comment like, eg. Viva l-Lejber….it will be rejected just the same. It is not the comment in itself that is rejected, but GiovDeMartino. The messenger, not the message.

        [Daphne – Honestly, I don’t know why you bother.]

    Who the hell can afford to pay such a price!

    It’s a townhouse with a capital ‘T’.

    A townhouse (freehold) in Luqa on a main road costs Euro 170,000. What’s so special about Naxxar?

    • 'Angus Black says:

      ‘What’s so special about Naxxar?’

      It’s got at least one matchless Townhouse with a spare toilet, larder, two wells and shelter. And a permit to put a pool on the roof.

      This guy thinks of everything doesn’t he?

      More toilets, just in case, two wells, larder and shelter to boot, in case of nuclear attack.

  11. Not Tonight says:

    I’d have imagined that he’d know how to write ‘barbecue’. And master large bedroom?

    • Marlene's Umbrella says:

      Master large bedroom. That’s neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) – the power of suggestion through words.

      He wants you to think that the master of the house is large in the bedroom.

      Let’s hope he sticks to the kidnap videos and doesn’t get any other ideas.

  12. Grezz says:

    “Matchless”?

  13. Grezz says:

    “backroom” as in “backside”.

    Write 100 times, Salv:
    back room
    back room
    back room …

  14. Grezz says:

    Such a well-written advert.

  15. ciccio2011 says:

    Denis Catania lowered the price of his NJ house from an assessed value of $380,000 to a short sale price of $220,000.
    Can Saviour come down to Euro 220,000? Naxxar is not exactly NJ…

  16. Gian says:

    He has many times with his prejudice and amateurish journalism. Many journalists or so-called ‘people who work in the media’ do very little research about the ‘real’ truth.

    Matchless? How ironic! Wasn’t he the victim of an arson attack a few years ago?! :) Daphne, one for you
