The Daphne Caruana Galizia Insultometer

Published: March 26, 2008 at 11:36pm

No, I am not talking about myself in the third person, like Metrosexual 1. I was just about to pack up and go home to bed when somebody sent me this link and distracted me all over again.

And now I’m going to laugh all the way home and probably crash. This is the last post of the day. Tomorrow I’m going to have to be serious and tackle the day job. Instead of wallowing in pictures of elephants, poodles and peacocks, I’m going to be eating a takeaway from the A1 Bar while sifting through amazing photographs of food and wine and getting Taste magazine ready for the designer. I hope to sneak in a couple of posts. The material is coming in thick and fast. Before I go, I must introduce you to the latest addition to our little zoo, now that his name is officially on the Labour leadership election list: Maria l-Maws, aka Evarist Bartolo, former vitriolic anti-PN columnist with KullHadd, the Labour Party’s ‘newspaper’.

    Maltova is boycotting George Abela from GWU rags. It’s as if GA has never declared his intention to run for leader.

    Get the dirt from here.

    Daphne I agree with Simon…and some merit goes to you, for the recent PN victory….well done…

    cheers…

    Ohhh Daphne,

    I need my smelling salts…

    I came across this page and it’s chock-full of eye candy!

    No europarl ruhi, you’re not on it…but if you wanna provide us with a pic preferably in cape and tights, we would love that…Girls are partial to some cape-and-tights action but only IF YOU LOOK like George Clooney in Batman… ;-)

    I’m posting it here because I am disgusted. Issa qed iqazzizha….as the Maltese say.I did some research and the unbelieveable thing is this. Who was the Chairman of the DCC when the Palazzo Santa Rosa permit, that is, the permit for the restaurant ADJACENT to JPO’s land , was given? He voted in Favour. Who was the achitect for the atrocious villa built by tal -Muzew on garigue at Marfa? That monument to ugliness all in the name of an organization that should know better.? That person is none other than the present auditor, Joe Falzon.ha nghidielek bil-malti. Irrezenja sur awditur. Int m’intix etiku xejn. Tahseb li ghax int tal-muzew taghmel li trid, jew ghax il-villa hi tal-muzew tista tinbena kif trid int, fejn trid int? X’differenza hemm bejn il-muzew u JPO. Mhux kulhadd l-istess f’dal-pajjiz. Missek tisthi, int tal-muzew u missek taf li biex tiskingra trid tkun pur. Resign because i intend to shout this from the rooftops. Daph….this is truly disgusting.

    Recent study shows that incompetent people can’t tell they’re incompetent:

    Perhaps they studied a number of political parties to get this result ….

    @ Corinne

    Sorry to break it to you but that’s No Batman… that’s Jaysin…how do I know? The brown-shoes-with-black-outfit is a giveaway :-)

  9. Daphne Caruana Galizia says:

    @Meerkat: my God, George Clooney as Batman! I must have watched that film a hundred times. I couldn’t find a picture to go with that other historic moment from film, Colin Firth’s ‘white shirt’ action. Coming up shortly: Daniel Craig emerging from the sea in his blue Speedo shorts in Casino Royale. I don’t think anyone’s going to get much work done today.

  10. Daphne Caruana Galizia says:

    @ Mario Debono – I’m going to have another post on Mistra later today and the moderator will move your comment there. This is a guidance session for the Labour Party on what is attractive in a man.

  11. Meerkat :) says:

    @ Daphne….

    That Daniel Craig scene is called ‘budgie smuggling’…

  12. Daphne Caruana Galizia says:

    @ Meerkat – maybe that’s where he bought the tracksuit to wear to a restaurant to prove how rich he is.

  13. Meerkat :) says:

    I am feeling very generous today. Feast your eyes..

    @ Daphne

    He tries to channel the Hip Hop Bling Bling…the only white male that can pull off this look is Eminem

  15. Meerkat :) says:

    Hello Daph? Are you still there? Hehe…that clip must have made you swoon…

    Issa fejn ha nerga nsib wahda tal-Poodle ha terga’ tigi f’sensik?

    Ok so this is from Layercake…but who’s nitpicking here?

  17. Meerkat :) says:

    Back to earth ejja…

    [Moderator – Is that the episode from The Office when David Brent plays the Unabomber video prank?]

  18. Daphne Caruana Galizia says:

    @Meerkat – I took a look at Anglu on the elephant and it brought me back to earth with a snap.

  19. Meerkat :) says:

    Poor elephant…he won’t ever live it down! ;-)

  20. Meerkat :) says:

    I would like to nominate Mr Alfred Gauci Cunningham as honourary member of this blog… Miaoooooooooo

    Err, have to take issue with you here Daphne.

    This is an excuse for all the females inhabiting this blog to have a get together on who they consider as the dreamiest bloke on the planet.

    Mind you, just for the sake of equality, we blokes should have our page as well.

    I mean what if Simone Cini makes the top post at MLP? I believe you wrote that men make the decisions at MLP at the moment. Well if I had a voice there, I know who I will prefer and it won’t be any goatee sporter.

    We have not prepared for that eventuality. And so with with tongue firmly planted in mouth, I say vote for Simone :)

  22. Meerkat :) says:

    Isa hej! X’se jkollna Hal-Safi…Mela housewives on alert…Don’t go shopping in your velour trackies and rollers in your hair.

    @ Meerkat

    This is not the first time that such accusations have been made against Lidl.
