Here follows a compilation of comments received in the ‘Ask James‘ page in the July-to-August period that weren’t replied to in an elaborate enough fashion to warrant their own posts. The quality of such compilations are determined by the readership in their inquisitive capacity. Two questions received and expanded upon are not included here but are included in the ‘Ask James‘ category.

Sandro Vella: Kemm iggerrih fil-gurnata?

Ask James.

Me: That is a question of an unreasonable nature… ^_~

Tony V: Ghalfejn dejjem tikteb bl-ingliz inti? Mela mintix malti bhalna?

Me: Hello TonyV,

Yes I do happen to be Maltese. The primary reason as to why I always tend to write in the English language is due to my superior grasp of the language relative to that of the Maltese language. I also believe that the ability to convey a message is far more important within any discourse than the language that one chooses to convey it in.

Secondly since Malta supposedly has two official languages, an international functional language and a local cultural language, it suits me fine to select the language that one not only expresses oneself most naturally within, but also results in the widest and furthest reach possible.

I hope that will suffice as a reply. :c)

Sandra: Why do you pick on the Nationalists only? Labour have done much worse in the past.

And I don’t like your site. You have nothing better to do?

Me: Hello Sandra,

I do not actually “pick on the Nationalists”. You will hopefully have noticed that I am not flinging mud upon them but placing qualified criticisms. I also do not reserve criticism for the Nationalists alone, although I do believe that the Nationalists ought to bear the brunt of my criticisms, having practically been in a position of power for a couple of decades now, bar one or two years.

While it somewhat saddens me to know that you do not like my web log I do humbly point to the several links on the side-bar leading out of this site. I am confident that you will find something more suited to your taste. I am, of course, open to suggestions for improvement. :c)

Michael Falzon: X’tahseb fuq l-ijuni tal-bidla James?

Sindy: James are you single?

“James Cauchi”: emmm Sindy if you’re single I am …….

Me: Michael Falzon,
Honestly I do not have any opinion about the so-called lions of change. I am skeptical, being of the belief that the Labour party is at least moderately infiltrated by the Nationalist party, and that therefore we have a one-party system posing as a two-party system… but it would be early for me to assess the reds in their apparent new form.

That was a short answer but for as far as parties are concerned my primary stand is that no population should have to feel captive to it/ them.

Oh, and for the record ‘James Cauchi’, the real James Cauchi would sound more along the lines of:

“Hello Sindy,

I do happen to be single as of at this time.”

I’d probably have inserted a bunch of other lines to weigh it up, but consider it highly suspicious that 3 questions came through in the space of 2 minutes. I guess a ‘lion of change’ paid me a visit. ^_~

Majjal ta’veru: James of course it is a joke, we (you know us) tried to pull a fast one :)

Me: No worries. ^_~
