UPDATED: Miriam Dalli of Malta Today has a massive crush on Kurt Farrugia, the government’s chief of communications
In case you’re wondering what all those flirtatious tweets were between Miriam Dalli (the frumpy, dumpy one who works for Malta Today, not the pretty one who works for Konrad Mizzi and Super One) and Kurt Farrugia last Saturday, asking him for “cookies” and whatnot when she should have been pursuing him for information for her readers, the answer is this: she has a massive, but massive, crush on him.
It’s an open secret among the press pack. She can’t get over the excitement of having the ear of such an important person (yes, he’s a large-headed pocket-dolly, but water finds its own level) and instead of hunting him down for answers, she hunts him down for attention.
And he is only too happy to give it – not because her crush is requited, but because he manipulates it for the pleasure and usefulness of having a Malta Today reporter eating out of his hand.
Isn’t this a charming photograph of them having fun together, uploaded last night and removed almost immediately? Miriam is on the left, leaning back against her hero. Impressively, she is shorter than he is.The man in the red top is the prime minister’s DRIVER.
I mean, where do these people get off? They’re there to hassle and harass the prime minister for information and for his refusal to face to their questions, and they’re posing cosily with his driver and HIS head of communications instead.
Doesn’t anybody know about boundaries in this benighted island, and what boundaries are there FOR?
Malta Today’s 50% owner, Saviour Balzan, and its editor, Matthew Vella, must be thrilled at their reporter’s great show of impartiality. It does wonders for the already decimated credibility of their newspaper.

And not just Miriam Dalli either.
They’re ganging up for a twos up there.
They happen to be on the same eye level
X’inhu mgandar.
Right, now I definitely need whoever made that video to call in. I’m recruiting.
Miriam, this is a more appropriate pose to conquer a coconut.

That chubby chick with too much make-up on will make a good match for that little coconut.
So, the coconut has an informant amongst the press corps. Probably more than one, given the level of professionalism of journalism in Malta.
A married man, flirting outrageously with a keen spinster – sorry, bachelor girl – to get what he wants from her (and it’s not sex). What an old story.
What very little people inhabit the world of PL
In-neputi bhalissa (ghandu sentejn) iffissat fuq fuq ‘cartoon’ ta’ Nick Junior, jismu “Little Kingdom”. Ikolli nghid kellhom lil dawn in-nies f’mohhom..
And what is Net Television’s cameraman doing there posing with this sad bunch of so-called journalists? At least Matthew Xuereb had the decency to keep his distance.
The cameraman in question is not with Net TV
“Impressively, she is shorter than he is.”
Good God, she must be as tall as her biro then.
Can anybody tell me who is the man on the right of the top picture wearing a red top please?
[Daphne – The prime minister’s driver. I’ll add that to the post.]
When I clicked on the attached clip, I had no expectations, but when the Cookie Monster started singing, I think I may have fallen in love with you.
Qed nara sew ghandha l-mustacci?
Who is this guy? Tom Cruise, Rocco Sifredi?
Ma kenux ‘selfies’ li vvintaw ta’ Hollywood.
Oh dear. The guy in the red top looks extremely unhealthy. It can’t be much fun driving Jo around.
Check out the body language between Miriam Dalli, our little guy and the chubby pale-faced gal. Are they fighting over the married midget?
Email pls?
