I haven’t been blogging much, so here, a few things before I call a Hiatus of my own.
They have McDonalds we have bob the builder
Bob the builder is not the nice cute children-friendly builder that, give and take a few, is fun to watch, if you are a kid that is. No, bob the builder, the Maltese version that is, is a person, with money to boot, lots of it, and a political class in his pockets, which turned Malta into a concrete jungle.
It turns out that the much talked about Ghadira project was first proposed by the seabank hotel, yes, you heard right.
So this is why, when the same government which never lifted a finger for the environment, preaches Green we take it with the usual pinch of salt. But we do enjoy the sight of future MEPs driving in their eco-friendly cars and printing their own cute faces on recycled paper.

Lately, Mepa was accused of issuing a permit fraudulently.

Voda is posh, Go is plebeian
Apparently, Voda caters for the posh people and Go for the lower. Mah, hands on toes, I did not know this. I heard it from a person in marketing, so it must be true. Now, I’m all hassled to be vodafoned.
Dilemma. Dilemma.
What should I do? Go voda, or go directly working class?
Word is, the PN loved the PL idea of having its own mobile company, but, apparently, they do not have the same hardcore people the PL has.

Bad boy Owen strikes again
It wasn’t bad enough for young Owen to suggest that maybe; maybe, people should try and live together for a while before getting married.
Now, he had to complain, Mamma mia x fih dan Owen, because in a convention on languages he was not provided with an interpreter; thus he could not deliver his speech in Maltese. He had to do it in English.
It is amazing the kind of gibberish people got to write on this issue, on the Times that is.
G. Mangion (1 hour, 17 minutes ago), The mlp’s logo for the last election ( Sure they Lost !! ) was :BIL – MALTI – BIDU GDID & IN ENGLISH, NEW beginning Yes ?why is This Fuss on our language Now ? Why the English language not banned then ? Banned is a thing, and There were no interpreters at the meeting is another !! Owen Bonnici dont try to mislead us, and be Seious for Once………..il – Marrelli hey !
Marthese Borg Manduca (1 day, 1 hour ago)
Speaking Maltese is fine but you have to admit that English is more practical in the world. Do you realise that these interpreters are paid for from our taxes?
I am tired of this anti English feelings you know. If you speak English on the street people look at you funny and call you ‘tal pepe’. What is this all about? Do you want Malta to go back into ignorance?
There is more of the sort; apparently they missed the whole point.
Maltese, like Italian, Spanish, and bloody hell English, is an official language of the E.U. thus it should be treated on equal terms like the rest. So, yes, he was right to complain.

Pulse wins KSJU election (read)
The more I look into KSU and KSJU the more I think we got it all wrong. A student council should be made up of an independent body and not of the parties’ nurseries.

Is there or there isn’t money?
‘Medicine importers said this afternoon they may have to stop importing medicine because of a lack of cash flow.
… Mr Fava said that they discussed the matter with Social Development Minister John Dalli but there was no money to pay them before the beginning of next year.’ read
Just last week we had a pompous announcement that there were between 60-80 million euros to be spent on a fabulous state of the art house of parliament and now they tell us there is not enough money to get medicine, there isn’t enough money for the lecturers either.
The people of daphne4dummies think it is just a smoke screen. I think it is not. It is not. It will be a House of parliament, it will house 65 MPs, and F* off the anti-democrats who think it should not and it will be ready just in time for the 2013 election.
