Il-Manoċċa

Spring is in the air and more blogs are being born. J’accuse welcomes the latest addition to the Maltese blogosphere – progressive blog “Il-Manocca” – fathered by, among others, Rupert Cefai (a.k.a. Bertu the cartoonist). Here’s the lads’ descriptor:

Jekk tfittex fid-dizzjunarju ssib li manoċċa hija “ħamiema; tajra tal-karti”. Mill-għoli imma fl-istess ħin b’rabta soda ma’ l-art qed nimirħu fl-ideat progressivi ta’ min jixtieq jara ‘l din art twelidu f’qagħda aħjar milli hi llum. Ejja ttajjar magħna… Il-manoċċa ħa ttir żgur kull nhar ta Tnejn, Erbgħa u Ġimgħa, daqqiet bil-Malti u oħrajn bl-Ingliż.

A big welcome to the blogosfera to Russel, Emile, Gordon, Rupert and Sean.

 

PN Projects 2008

From The Times:

The new Gozo harbour terminal was inaugurated by the Prime Minister this morning at Mgarr, making it possible for passengers to embark and disembark from the ferries separately from the cars. Dr Gonzi described the event as a major leap of quality for passengers travelling between the two islands.

In 2008, on the eve of an election the PN government inaugurates Mgarr Ferry terminal… making it possible for passengers to board separately from cars. Do I need to add a sarcastic comment to this one?

Truly the stuff that dreams are made of.
