Careful, Jeffrey. Lara is a tiger and might bite it off.

tiger sheep

The chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology’s state-funded personal assistant, who he is sleeping with despite the national havoc he created on the false pretext of wishing to divorce so that he could marry his long-term girlfriend, which he did last year, uploaded this image on her Facebook timeline last night.

It seems she thinks herself a tiger and me a sheep.

Well, I did say she wasn’t particularly bright.

If the MCST chairman is a tiger, he’s quite a small one – but then his personal assistant, who extends her working hours to the bedroom and holidays abroad, could always paint stripes on his nifty orange trousers and have him put a tiger in her tank.

    If Botox Jeff is into “quotes”, this one should make him stir

      Nietzche has a way of cutting into the truth of things that is so satisfying. Pity he has been so horrendously misinterpreted and abused throughout history.

    Hilarious.

    But what is most shocking is that Lara Boffa – like her boss and boyfriend – does not understand that she no longer represents her individual self but the Malta Council for Science and Technology.

    This is not ‘Lara Boffa’ posting rubbish on Facebook, but the public relations officer and ‘personal assistant to senior management’ of the MCST.

  3. Joe Fenech says:

    What is the message here? That she’s not a sheep? She must think herself brave and daring for what she has done and is doing.

    I hate these supposed “wise instructions”. At best, they’re very poorly constructed metaphors and terribly cliched.

    Neither sheep nor tigers have opinions. Only humans have opinions (because we are verbal animals) and only humans lose sleep fretting over life and its problems.

    A tiger won’t lose sleep. It will go hungry and die if it does not find prey.

    A sheep couldn’t care less about tigers because it is unable to frame danger in the terms humans do. It will simply bleat and run as fast as it could. No intention.

    No motives. No desire. Pure and simple instinct and biological inheritance. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Even if these two animals did think in the way humans too, it is bloody obvious that tigers won’t lose sleep over sheep. We’d also have herd upon herd of insomniac sheep and restless woollens.

      And unlike humans who stand up, sheep jump over a fence to be counted.

    • Thaddeus says:

      Also, Tigers are probably unaware of the existence of sheep. The only occasion a tiger has to hunt sheep is if he escapes from a zoo and roams around the kiddies area.

  5. Pat Zahra says:

    That’s not ‘a’ sheep, singular, but ‘sheep’, plural, which means us, the great unwashed.

    The thing about sheep, as any shepherd will tell you, is that an enraged sheep (singular, Ms Boffa) can reduce a sheep dog to a pulpy mass of bruises.

    Miss Boffa, in your youth and arrogance, and your stupidity, you are flaunting yourself at the people among whom you must live. Have a care.

  6. Denis says:

    So she thinks she’s a tiger.

    Wait until this little shag party is over, dear, and meanwhile, give Marlene and Carmen a call and ask why they bolted.

    Two things come to mind…

    Un tigre ne proclame pas sa tigritude

    and

    Confucius say a lion will not cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood

    • ciccio says:

      One thing comes to mind:

      “I will ignore you so hard you will start to doubt your own existence.” Lara Boffa to Daphne.

      Well, Lara, you really must try harder.

  8. Rosie says:

    So Miss Boffa thinks us sheep and doesn’t care what we think because she’s a tiger.

    Well, in that case I wonder if she’s counting us at night to get herself to sleep. Or maybe listening to one of her new boyfriend’s drunken, monomaniacal harangues is enough to knock her out for the night.

    Malta was once known as the land of milk and honey.

    Now it’s degenerated to the land of tigers and kittens.

  11. Josette says:

    Jeffrey had better take care not to annoy this tiger or it might attack his family jewels (and I mean jewels not silver here).

  12. Xejn sew says:

    So getting shagged by your boss makes you a tiger now? Goodness, by that measure Malta is 19th-century India, full of tigers.

    If you are indeed a tigress, Lara, you hide it well. You’re a dead ringer for a Carry On secretary.

  13. Mark Mangion says:

    He is just another opportunist on the Labour bandwagon and real Labour working class are just waiting and waiting for ‘justice’ to be done (as promised by Joseph Muscat) while others (Labour top brass) are getting richer and comfier every day.

  14. ciccio says:

    Didn’t the government say it will ban animals from circuses in Malta?

    So it’s OK to have tigers in Labour’s circus, but “circus promoter” Silvio Zammit cannot have any.

  15. Spock says:

    The silly woman has ruined her reputation, tarnished her grandfather’s name and become a laughing stock. Worst of all, she has put it all on the line for a man who has taken the meaning of betrayal to a new level.

    Does she honestly think he’s going to treat her any differently than he treated his wife, his friends, his political party, his associates, his constituents? How deluded.
