Daphne, in his article today, J’accuse, Jacques Rene Zammit was not very amused with your terse and clear advice.
The only reason why I read him today was because I saw your name in his first sentence.
I am usually put off reading him because his style is so long-winded and wordy.
Judging by today’s article, at least, he could have easily squeezed in what he had to say in half the space.
Besides, writing material that people want to read, one should also be terse and succinct.
People do not have time for waffle.
[Daphne – I tried telling him that and he jumped down my throat. He thinks that packaging a message in a way that ensures it will be read is ‘marketing’ and therefore undesirably commercial. It isn’t marketing. It’s called communication. He’s pleased with his 800 hits a day built up over five years. Let him be. I think it’s a lousy day when I have 25,000.]
“Judging by today’s article, at least, he could have easily squeezed in what he had to say in half the space.”
His articles in The Malta Independent on Sunday are always like that. It’s as if the editor has given him a word limit he can’t reach, so he masticates the same sentence over and over again.
He actually had the nerve to say on TV that Daphne’s blog was just worthless gossip for trivial people. Some characters just don’t get it. The devil is in the detail and not in long-winded waffle that gets nowhere, as in his articles.
[Daphne – Jacques is of the mindset that equates popularity with inferiority (if lots of people like it then it must be bad) and niche interest with superiority (the special people like it). His attitude to blogs is merely a reflection of his attitude to political parties: the big, popular ones are crap (I agree with him that one of them is) while AD is for independent intellectuals who are a cut above the rest.]
Hi everyone – can anyone please tell me how to remove a “friend” from Facebook? I somehow have a “friend” I don’t remember adding can this be possible?
Click on “Edit Friends” under heading “Account” on the right of screen.
Click on “Friends” under “Lists” on the left of screen.
To remove a friend click the “X” near the friend’s name.
you can also click on the friend’s name (which takes you to his/her profile page) once there, bottom left you can see the: suggest, report and remove options.
You go to the “Account” Tab, on the top right of the page, choose “Edit Friends”, and there you go, you have your list of friends. You then highlight the friend you want to delete, and press the little cross at the side.
P.S – Daphne, your articles fascinate me, grip me & make me laugh even when I’m totally depressed. Although what I learn from you about PL is so comical, it’s not even funny! But maybe that’s the way that party is destined to forever be.
Yes that’s right Consuelo knows how to remove a Facebook profile, though she had to be told to do so.
Perhaps she also needed to be told how to behave too, since the Code of Ethics alone wasn’t enough guidance for her.
She has recently been the talk of the town, but has been so for a very long time, and this not to her credit and even less to the credit of the judicial system.
Our prayers are with you this morning for a quiet session at the Courts. I hope no excuses will be brought up for an adjournment.
[Daphne – I wasn’t going to speak this morning anyway. Consuelo Herrera was going to be cross-examined. But it turns out the sitting has been adjourned because of mourning in the family of the presiding magistrate.]
Actually I’m surprised at the fact that you are really writing less about Kermit and Miss Piggie.
[Daphne – Credit me with a little intelligence. I know when a topic has ceased to be generally interesting, even when if it remains interesting to some.]
Mr. Malta? Michelin Man more likely. Someone should have a quiet word with him and let him know that with that waist line, he should avoid white garments.

Love your photo-album blog-posts. More please.

Good job copying PL. Now copy some of their common sense way of thinking.

There’s actually a school for elves.
Another brainless asshole burned to a crisp through Facebook.

Long-winded and wordy? More like downright effing tedious.
What do you expect from someone who goes on about having a home in Lanzarote?

I wouldn’t go as far as calling the Nats crap and ‘crap’ isn’t sufficiently derogatory to describe the MLP/PL.
I cannot help thinking that his day-job doesn’t keep him very busy.

Try asking Marlene …

Ok managed – thank you all for your help

And if you want to remove yourself from Facebook? Ask Consuelo! And Jurgen!
:) good idea – hadn’t thought of that :)

Jurgen Cachia had better pay a visit to his doctor and take a testosterone test. Those moobs indicate he has too high a level of oestrogen.

When is the next sitting then?
[Daphne – No idea yet.]

“Solve the Fat Client administration burden .. with Virtual Computing & 2X”
Seems like they might need to look into their fat employee burden before worrying about the fat client burden.
Or maybe they already have this morning….
Wicc ta’ Laburist! Problem is that thing can vote.
Daphne, am recuperating in CCU. Your photo captions have really brightened me up and speeded my recovery!
