This time around, JD decided it would be fitting to congratulate Tina by handing her the long-awaited wedding gift – albeit with a twist.

Allying himself with Ashley Eric Peschel as the messenger, her gift was delivered completely in 10c coins, all spread over her recording studio desk. The question is, of course, to how much the coins actually amount to. 

JD is well-known for his pranks on the famous Maltese radio show, especially when it comes to his favourite victim Tina! 

And while we cannot help Tina pick up all those coins, the MaltaDaily team would still like to wish her all the best for her wedding this upcoming Saturday and for her newly wedded life!

Dizzjunarju Queer: Maltese & English LGBTIQ+ dictionary of terms unveiled

Mar 23 2023 Share

The Maltese government has released an official dictionary of terms pertaining to the LGBTIQ+ community in order to aid better media reporting on such matters.

Spearheaded by Parliamentary Secretary for Reforms Rebecca Buttigieg, the dictionary is offered in both Maltese and English, bridging the gap between the various terms and definitions which were previously unknown to many in Maltese. 

‘The decision to use one word or another in reporting about LGBTIQ+ persons can make a big difference between a sentiment of unity or a culture of prejudice’ said the Parliamentary Secretary. 

‘I believe that the media has an important role so that our country continues to take progressive steps towards a society free of prejudice and discrimination.’

‘Many of us refrain from speaking about sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics out of fear of using the wrong terminology to express themselves or identify others’ the dictionary’s introduction explains. 

‘This obstacle is often heightened in interactions in Maltese, with terminology often substituted with its English counterpart.’

You can access the full document on humanrights.gov.mt for the full list of terms, or follow these links to read in English or Maltese.

The trend of mixing a little bit of alcohol, particularly vodka, with your pasta rose in popularity back in 2020 thanks to American model Gigi Hadid. 

She admitted that she liked to have her pasta dish with a little bit of vodka, sending fans replicating the dish for themselves. And now, the two giant brands will be making this easier than ever as they brought the two together. 

Heinz New Ventures Director, Caio Fontenele, said: “While it may have taken over 150 years of tomato expertise to launch our first Heinz pasta sauce, we’re determined to continue innovating and delighting consumers with delicious flavours, at the speed of social media trends.

The vodka kick reportedly unlocks the flavours as well as the aroma of the tomato, basil and cheese sauce. However, you better make sure to hop on the train as there will be a limited number of the Heinz x Absolut Tomato Vodka Pasta sauce available from mid-April. 

What do you make of this?

After a training session with the rest of the Argentinian team on Monday, football star Lionel Messi went to dinner with his family at a restaurant in Buenos Aires. 

When word got out that the player was out eating, fans decided to flood the streets outside of Don Julio trying to glimpse and catch a snapshot of the sport star. 

Messi was unable to leave the restaurant until 0145hrs when the police arrived to escort him out of the area. The authorities cleared the narrowest possible path for Messi to get to his car as fans swarmed around them.

Commenters on the footage were not very positive of the reaction by the football fans. Many called it disturbing and terrifying, asking for fans to let the player live a normal life. 

This comes as Messi will play his first game with Argentina since the World Cup on Thursday night.
