Life with a dash of zing
For those who missed them, links to my posts about the (by now celebrated) Case of the Banned Laptop. A Campus of Self-Entitled Twerps (oh yes she did) Trending: Twerps Those who actually bothered to read through both posts will have noticed that the subject in discussion is the student’s reaction to the ban and [...]
This list has been coming a long while – the ten albums that have left an impact on me/affected my life in some way. Not necessarily the albums that I listen to regularly/are my favourites nowadays (though some of them are) but those that will always have a place in my collection. Narrowing it down [...]
As I’m writing this, I just came back from a session of exasperated eye-rolling at one of Valletta’s coffee-shops. The reason? The girl sitting at the table next to mine just couldn’t stop waxing lyrical about a particular movie that’s really raking in the cash right now: The Hunger Games. I realise that I’m totally [...]
Sometimes it feels like people are just asking to be scammed. I can’t remember where I read this, but I suspect that the saying that you can only scam a person if they are dishonest has more than a grain of truth to it. To that, we can also add that victims are likely to [...]
The debate has been going on for quite a while now, pretty much ever since the initial line-up for this year’s Isle of MTV concert was announced.

Well, actually it’s not the spat itself that caused the amusement – since I wasn’t present for the altercation I can’t very well pass judgement, whether in jest or otherwise. I can, however, pass judgement on readers’ comments while [...]
So I have finally (about a week ago, to be precise) started reading John A Bonello’s famed Il-Logħba tal-Allat trilogy. I confess to an unreasonable frustration with trilogies. Go ahead, stone me. It’s just that whenever an author comes up with the “this is the first book of a trilogy” statement, I know perfectly well [...]
Fans of Venus Angelic, the 15-year-old “Living Doll” Youtube sensation, have been complaining in droves. Their reaction is strong enough to instigate me to carry out a follow-up here and on The Times of Malta blog, detailing exactly why I think her parents are mad to allow her to expose herself like this to the cyberworld of [...]
Sunday dawned, shops opened and the pit of hell failed to open up. What did open up, however, is a very obvious position within the Church’s PR department (does it even have one?) I’ve already said this and I’ll say it again. The Church needs to get itself a good PR strategist. Then perhaps it [...]
