Ah, so the Law Commissioner and MCST chairman were at the August Moon Ball, along with 1,200 other members of The High Society

Link to some fascinating TVM footage below – with the aid of a magnifying glass you’ll be able to spot Chief of Government Communications Kurt Farrugia in his dickie-bow.

And in case you’re wondering, if I ever end up in hell and damnation I fully expect it to be exactly as shown in that footage, but without end.

    Cheerful lot.

    So Manwel’s boys didn’t win the tender for the catering service.

    • Joe Fenech says:

      They won the cleaning contract this time.

      Manuel and his band ‘The Sopranos’ were in charge of the singing.

  3. Antoine Vella says:

    Did the August Moon Ball go on until 5.00am?

  4. Gahan says:

    Who’s that elegant girl near Simon?

    And the August Moon Ball should be organised when there’s a full moon, not when the moon stops waning.

    Wasn’t there enough food for Jeffrey at the ball where no one seems to be dancing?

    Did the ball end at 5am?

    Caption for the bottom photo: “The Mistra disco discussions Part II”

  6. ciccio says:

    The head of the Prime Minister is fast becoming like a full August-moon ball. What’s missing is the “FIFA approved” quality mark.

  7. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Not a very inspiring expression, that Chief Justice.

  8. M. says:

    A congregation of awful people.

  9. Dgatt says:

    I’ve just watched the footage. These members of the High Society appear to have awkward social manners, are not at ease in “chic” surroundings and simply want to be there just for appearances.

    Tell-tale sign number one: appearing to be busy with checking messages, Dr. Simon Busuttil included.

    Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando Smith starts off the evening in a hired dinner jacket wid de High Society at Verdala Castle and ends it in a brawl at Is-Serkin with that other low-life, Franco Debono. Vera wertit hux tassew ?

  11. Tracy says:

    Tghid JPO bic-coff mar ghand is-Serkin biex jiehu kafe’ u zewg pastizzi?

  12. Joseph Caruana says:

    There goes the White Lady of Verdala Castle.

  13. Victor says:

    Wow, what a classy lot.

  14. Lestrade says:

    As things go, the Chief Justice, who looks as if he would prefer being miles away, and other dignitaries must have had their arms twisted to be there. I would clock it as overtime plus costs for hiring tux, wife’s/partner’s ensemble including hair-do and sundries.

    According to TVM caption the punters had to visit Verdala Castle to be at the Ball.

    Are members of the Judiciary allowed to to attend or does Gorg Abela issue a special dispensation from code of ethics?

    Reminds me of New York’s “500”.

  15. sammy says:

    Wow x’inhuma klessy!

    • Joe Fenech says:

      Obviously they’re not (and I have no respect for this President for many obvious reasons), but at least Mrs Abela is discreet and ‘en retrait’ which is very different to HM Big Head’s wife.

  16. Mrs M says:

    Mrs Abela looks far more elegant than Mrs Muscat.

  17. Lestrade says:

    Er, who is Vince Micallef ?

    See the second photo down from the top. Compare the person on the right to this (grandchildren’s favourite)

    My God…..the Prime Minister seems to be piling on the kilos by the day. All this High Society living is bad news for his waist.
