Have you spotted the TWO mistakes?

Although it was my day off, I still felt I should draw the salesgirl's attention to the errors. "Clueless" best describes the look she gave me.

That was 10 days ago; the sign is still unashamedly on display.

Of telephone directories and constitutions

MaltaCoatOfArms Of telephone directories and constitutions

 

There's a bit of a debate at the moment about updating the country's constitution and this being a democracy, every Cali, Johnny and Joey has a right to make their recommendations. Here's one which brought a smile to my face, whichever way I looked at it:

 

"...the constitution should make sure that having ID cards and a telephone directory expired by over 7-8 years should be a priority to be reviewed."

Times of Malta on-line 29 April 2012

 

What's the suggestion exactly?

  • expired telephone directories become a constitutional right?
  • we have the right to file a constitutional case against the government should a private telephony company not update the directory?

I hope this doesn't put another wild idea into the head of the former US Ambassador Douglas Kmiec, such as adopting the Catholic bible as this island's bedrock of rights!

"Dr Debono had earlier today challenged the Prime Minister to a public debate on any subject anywhere and anytime.

His only condition, he said, was that the Prime Minister should be accompanied by at least another two ministers. He, Dr Debono said, would be on his own."

The Times on-line 24/04/2012

 

If this is an accurate report, all I can say is that this man, lawyer and member of parliament has Quixotic delusions.

A star is gone

So St Patrick didn't get to enjoy the star on his special day because it fell to Earth a few days before.

Actually, upon closer inspection, it didn't quite touch ground.
