  • Noti waqt elezzjoni tal-KSJC*

    ·

    Kull sena meta tasal l-elezzjoni ghall-Ezekuttiv tal-Kunsill Studenti Universitarji nispicca nirraguna ma xi hadd dwar sistemi rapprezentativi u l-“winner takes all” tal-elezzjonijiet. Kull sena ma nikkonkludux wisq filwaqt li xi ghaqda politika minnhom “tkaxkar” is-siggijiet tal-ezekuttiv. Dalghodu tellajt sentenza fuq facebook wara li rajt li kemm Luciano Busuttil kif ukoll Joseph Cuschieri kienu qed iheggu…

  • The Pale Blue Dot

    ·

    “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

L-għażla kulinarja kienet waqgħet fuq ikel Ġenoviż, korteżija ta’ Profuma Di… ristorant mill-iprem ġewwa l-ħallata ballata ta’ gosti u kċejjen li bħalu joffru biss bliet wisq iktar kożmopoliti bħal New York, Brussel u Londra. Ħin minnhom bqajt immeraviljat…

  • D’Fifties

    ·

      Living in a country for nigh ten years does not necessarily mean that you know the place. Yes, you may be able to ditch the GPS and drive around the far flung (!) corners of the Mullerthal or the northern reaches of Clervaux as nonchalantly as you would in the backstreets of Attard or Cospicua.…
