    I stood in a queue at Pompeii once, and it felt like blades slashing my eyes. Oh the humanity.

    Imagine what she will do when, one day, she will be merely a “Chancellor Emerita”…

    I made a somewhat quick google search to check which Presidents are styled “Emeritus” and only managed to find Maltese ones, though it seems the title is theoretically possible.

    “Angela was, as usual, impressed, but this time with the coat”

    I’ve yet to see Muscat.

    Is it possible that no one bothered to tell her that one can prebook tickets, even from your hotel?

      Sometimes, the luxury – where appropriate – is to have no luxury.

      True, like getting a preferred boarding pass for the Gozo ferry to jump the queue? What are an extra couple of euro for Angela Merkel?
      That visit to the Scavi is no picnic especially in hot weather!

    Obviously she didn’t have a Mintoffian family and wasn’t born in the middle of nowhere.

    Simply being oneself, whoever you are, wherever you are is the richest of riches one can possess. Acting a Caesar, a King Lear, a King Henry, a Macbeth, a Romeo and a Juliet on the stage of life, in the public streets and places, is nothing short of a gun smoke exit from the glory of life.
