Ready, set, action – says the Police Minister

"Oh baby, I have a lot to offer. Step into my roof-top hot-tub and I'll show you. I'm a multi-millionaire, and if you're good, I'll buy you some Faberge earrings and then take you to Lidl for your grocery shopping." And please don't anybody ask me how I know about the rooftop hot-tub.

“Oh baby, I have a lot to offer. Step into my roof-top hot-tub and I’ll show you. I’m a multi-millionaire, and if you’re good, I’ll buy you some Faberge earrings and then take you to Lidl for your grocery shopping.” And please don’t anybody ask me how I know about the rooftop hot-tub.

Leafing through the print edition of Malta Today (I must be one of the few people who still buys it instead of waiting for the stories to come up for free on the internet, and then it’s only for professional reasons) I’ve just come across the Police Minister’s face and name at the top of an opinion column.

The heading is READY, SET…ACTION!

Good, I thought, he’s given us an update on what he’s doing about Libya after that memorandum he signed three weeks ago with a Libyan minister who is probably on the run already which is why he was here in Malta in the first place.

But no. It’s on the highly relevant topic of what “the Maltese Islands have to offer to cinematic production”.

Please, somebody, stop up that rabbit-hole.

    Rabbit hole? What rabbit hole?

    He can only fit into a hippopotamus’s mud pool. Or won’t he?

    So how do you know about that roof-top tub?

    [Daphne – Well, actually it was him, trying to tantalise the ladies in pre-Codruta days with suggestive talk of how he gets into his open-air hot-tub after a long day at work (defending murderers and drug dealers & c) and lies back with a glass of good wine. Cue the sniggers masked by false simpering, but men like that never notice. Min jaf kemm marrulu ladies biex jarawh fil-hot tub. Maybe that’s what the fountain-water was for.]

    Just a thought Daphne, in your quest to better the site – could we receive an email if someone replies to a comment that was posted?

    [Daphne – Well, yes, that’s one of the changes we’re probably going to make.]
