Yes....I'll second that...in fact I'll third that....very good time had by all...perhaps too good in fact.....I seem to remember someone dancing on the table.....and I hope it wasn't me...but it was prolly Cherscic...she can get a little wild if she looks at a wine label....:-) Thank you Rusty for choosing a smashing restaurant.....I had excellent calamari, caught fresh that day, and done with a wildly tasty garlic sauce....no wonder nobody came close to me after the meal... Next time, i'll definitely try the rabbit.....so good.....every dish... Thank you Jacko, for logistics and organisation, thank you SirLaughalot for his incredible knowledge of Maltese history and geography, thank you ladies for gracing the occasion with your beauty and humour, thanks everyone for the good company... Let's do it again sometime...
Lisajane, If it's not too late, count another two in, I hope that it works out well....I'd love to meet some of these faces here, especially the black dude with the very public dental work.... See you on the 14th...next Friday...
Yes KT....I'm rather struck with you too, but I'm afraid I'm busy tarring and feathering someone else at the moment, so go chase another rhino, will you??....
Yes, they shoot normal weirdos, hunt beached whales....(it's easy pickin's...)...run from randy housewives....and prey on clueless tourists.....these are the Knights of the Faulty Tower......they are to be recognised by their smoking, back-firing steeds and wilting codpieces....
Maybe the euphemistic phrase "full-figured" is a peculiarly 20th-Century pone.......for the first time in the history of homo-sapien, we find being overweight a concern for a huge chunk of the planet's population, and secondly, political correctness in semantics is a sign of an elevated social culture and sophistication......I over-eat, therefore I am.....
Ok...I am happy to confirm that I am "in"....as in available to drink Gozian beer, partake of Gozian lamb and mint sauce, and get rained on by Gozian rain, if necessary...I will be bringing a sense of relief, for having survived the first week's misadventures intact, a wallet with strange-looking currency that is about to become extinct.....and a lady who is about to become known as "Miss Incognito".....you won't get lonesome, Sir Knight....book theeself a Round Table.....you gonna need it...
As a once-famous ad slogan said....."I'm only here for the beer...."... that's only part of the truth....but the beer in Malta is excellent....and there is a golden rule here...if you order a large Cisk, it is usually served by a gorgeous cowgirl in a tight t-shirt.....is that what makes the beer taste so good??....
Cherscic IS a little lamb...until you get out of line, and then she takes out her whip, and the rest of us run for cover, except intrepid duck-hunters perhaps....
Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow; And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school one day; That was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play; To see a lamb at school. And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear. "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry; "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know," The teacher did reply.
We had a novice pilot who kept fluffing his lines on the intercom....got all embarrassed.....and then landed the plane like it was a cartload of bricks....I swear, he almost popped the tires.....and then turned the aircarft so tight halfway down the runway, we did a little broadside... It's warmer in Malta, but inside the houses, it's freakin' freezing!!!....I'm so poor (or disorganised) I can't afford heating, so we sat huddled around a bunch of candles to keep warm.....oh well, the wine was excellent, and the company more than that...good to be back on these fair shores....
Finally, proof that Leonardo-baby was stoned as a......stone when he painted his mystical portrait........ and the reason behind her laconic smile is......the model was stoned too!....
...Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you You're so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you? For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
