Did I hear somebody say ‘oligarchy’?

Published: May 23, 2013 at 8:16am

The Law Reform Commissioner’s personal car, parked on a double yellow line in Ordnance Street, Valletta (new site for the Monti hawkers) on Saturday, 4 May. His office is just a corner away.

Can’t have him breaking his leg by walking in from the Floriana car park. If Ronnie Pellegrini does it, why can’t the Law Commissioner?

The best comment I’ve received about this so far (and it’s only been about half an hour):

“Reserving a place for his stall, selling knock-off Big Pony T-shirts and roosters in cages.”

Whoever sent that one in, please have an Aperol Spritz on me.

Franco's car

    I have been getting parking tickets in the street where I live. It’s nearly impossible to find a parking space, but there is a reserved spot for a disabled person who used to live in the house opposite.

    She has not been living there for over 5 years. All pleas to local council were and are to no avail.

    Thanks for the Aperol…..Cheers, to your health!

    Yes even big fat Joey Grima has a reserved parking spot outside his Sliema flat, taken up by his partner of course at the bottom of St Vincent Str Sliema. Never knew that obesity classifies as disablement.

    That number plate is a statement of the man’s arrogance. GBM reads Gej Bil-Meraq

    Why, may I ask, a BMW and not a Reliant Robin just like Mr. Bean?

    And if the Law Commissioner does it, why not the Hon Prime Minister whose driver parks the official car every Saturday morning on double yellow lines just outside Sir Luigi Preziosi School in Pembroke to drop off one of his daughters for one of her extracurriular activites?

    X’Ezempju dak, hi …and is he supposed to use his driver, paid for by us taxpayers, for personal errands?

    Did you see this photo? http://www.newsbook.com.mt/media/_images/43956-665×315.jpg

    Our Honourable Minister looks like a cross between Ben Ali and Humpty Dumpty…

    What does GBM stand for? Gidra Bazwija Maltija? Fits someone we all know.

    Oh oh miskin, soon the market stalls will take his parking spot.

  10. ciccio says:

    I bet he’s got his form 2c report displayed next to the licence disc. Unlike Ronnie Pellegrini’s expired police permit, it’s quite impressive.

  11. GBM – I presume “Great Bloody Malta”

  12. Vanni says:

    What does his ‘GBM’ stand for?

    Gej Bott Meraq?
    Got Bad Mobile?
    God’s Biggest Mistake?

    The mind boggles.

    Cocky indeed id-Dott.

    Din hi evidenza ta’ kontravenjoni. Issa rridu naraw ic-citazzjoni.

    Ma pruvajtx naghmel xi hajku jew inqabbel xi vers
    ghax jien cittadin normali u ma nipretendinix divers.

  15. Dumbo says:

    GBM = Gran Buffone Maltese.

    t is stupid that he does not park at the carpark. If he had to stride into town more people would get a view of him especially when wearing a pink tie. More cocky, I would say. X’tahseb, dottore?

  16. Rita Camilleri says:

    What happened to him? We haven’t heard a whisper from him.

    He’s got a soft spot for Gozo.
