Life with a dash of zing
Cyber-space is full of pseudo philosophers and fake do-gooders who seem to have enough leisure time that they can spend their days passing judgement on lifestyles that don’t coincide with theirs. Such as on those who are in a same-sex relationship. Usually I’m happy to ignore all the thrash that clutters the web, but occasionally [...]
Original photography by Darrin Zammit Lupi for The Times, photoshopped by Bis-serjeta’ – Serjeta biss. The onslaught of memes was to be expected, of course. After all, it’s not everyday that we get to see honest-to-goodness fisticuffs that seem to come straight out of some redneck movie. I’m talking about the Marsaxlokk fight, the video [...]
Keeping tabs on the actual facts regarding the newly proposed IVF law is proving to be harder than anticipated. After days spent reading the myriad news reports and opinion pieces that have been reproduced on various media, many of them contradicting each other, there is only one observation that I feel 100% confident in making: [...]
An edited version of this post was uploaded on The Times of Malta. A few hours before 17-year-old Polina Rahman was found on Tuesday evening, I had written a post calling for more rigorous enforcement of regulations with regards teenagers who come to Malta to study English.

While 75% of the island was shaking its booty to what a handful of MTV-made millionaires imagine is ‘music’, I managed to catch the tail-end to Bondi+. The topic du jour was the Olympic ticket distribution saga that erupted last week. For [...]
When they mess up, some people come up with really brilliant excuses that almost make you forgive them, just because their creativity is so dazzling. Others recycle some poor version of “the dog ate my homework”. Such as Birkirkara mayor Michael Fenech Adami. Him who approved a decision to pay (in full) for an employee [...]
It’s been exactly a week since the Attorney General issued a totally inappropriate plea to the law courts. I haven’t said anything before because I’ve already had a go at this particular department on at least two occasions recently (here and here ). So I was kinda hoping someone else would spot this for a [...]
It appears that the majority of our politicians have a disturbing lack of understanding of what befits their position and what, most certainly, doesn’t. First we have our head of state packing up his bags and going off for a month in Peru on missionary work. If you’re wondering what is wrong with doing missionary [...]
