Good grief. There’s been an accident in Constipation Street.

Published: May 16, 2012 at 10:58am

My newsagent, Herbert, can’t have been thrilled to wake up this morning and find that he now does business in Constipation Street, Mosta.

Fortunately, there’s a pharmacist right next door. And a supermarket opposite, which sells prunes.

    Is that a hint of Labour’s sense of humour that we are to expect when they’re elected to power?

    I can’t say I have anything against that.

    My heart bleeds when I see the crass ignorance of certain journalists – do they not check their articles before publishing them. Such is the standard of The Times nowadays.

    Oh well, that explains all the bathroom centres on the way down to Birkirkara.

    What a howler. In the recent list of changes to routes, Arriva showed “Triq Idmejda” in Balzan, as Triq Imdejqa. May be they still get complaints from that area?

    One thing’s for sure – none of them were rushing to go.

    Prunes won’t help the traffic congestion.

    Someone must have shat themselves in the street with fright.

      Stanley J. Clews was the sports editor at The Times when that newspaper epitomised what serious journalism is all about.

      Apart from the ‘constipation’ farce we had the main page displaying a bikini clad model. How sad! The item could have been displayed in the variety pages, with something more relevant to the world or Maltese news on the main page instead.

    Please, tell me it’s not true. But you are only joking.

    I live there….didn’t know the road changed its name. The Times have fixed it now, but thanks for the screen shot.
