Don’t ask this lot to give chase to bag-snatcher

Would you believe that this is a Department of Information photograph of a meeting the PS for Sport (that man Stefan Buontempo, in the middle) had with the Malta Sports Council?

Those paunches are not a good advertisement for the success of any Sports Council.
Malta Council for Obesity is more appropriate.
Look at this one, what a disgusting sight, gluttony at its extreme:

Hence the need for an Eating Disorders Foundation.
4 waiters – 2 beach boys- 1 maintenance man
They also look faded, and the black/white ensemble is just short of a tray and order card.
A sorry unhealthy lot.
Phew. I thought it was a meeting of undertakers with accountants. I assume they didn’t try the pool afterwards.
Careful, there’s an engineer in that group. Easy to spot.
Joseph Earthquakes Muscat should think about it. If they jump into the pool, he could even claim a tsunami.
Oh look! A my-tummy-is-bigger-than-yours competition.
And what’s with the white shirt, black trousers uniform?
This photo merits a competition, two actually.
1. Name the sports practised by this ‘Sports Council.
2. Four of the gentlemen in the picture, including PS Buontempo, have a part-time job. Can anyone guess what it is?
The first correct answer will win a flight to a European destination of choice by a very low cost airline. This will not only serve as a reward to the winner but will also be a first-hand learning experience which might merit compensation from the President and the Community Chest Fund.
It’s more like a Department for Obesity Prevention photo
Another failed department then. They’re more like contestants to a ‘Biggest Loser’ competition.
That’s two sets of M&S crease proof shirts for you.
The bloke in jeans just happened to be there.
‘The bloke in jeans’ is Dunstan Attard, an ex-BOV employee, starting during Mintoff’s Golden Years. His services (!) were very soon deployed in the influential Advances Dept (dealing with loans and overdrafts) at Head Office Level.
His sporting credentials and achievements on the KMS website might seem impressive to an outsider but mostly he is known as a fervent supporter of an obscure (by local standards) British football team (not Manchester United/City, Liverpool, Arsenal or Tottenham, but …) – Nottingham Forest.
Maybe because he feels, somehow, associated with Robin Hood.
[Daphne – Robin Hood? Bank of Valletta 1974 to 1987 robbed the poor to give to the rich. As for the actual bank itself…]
They are lined up for a sport that is new to Malta – Sumo wrestling. Joe Grima is already going for gold by guzzling down Big Macs.
Considering these are now forming a sports council, isn’t it a little ironic that they are actually fatter than the athletes that they manage?
Thing is, what are they going to reform at Tal-Qroqq where it is actually a place that is nothing but perfect, albeit little technical errors with the timing system?
I was waiting for you to bring this up.
Next on the agenda, sumo wrestling.
