A quick blog from Malta. I got the news of the passing away fo Julian while at a bbq in Malta. I had to call a friend to make sure the news was true. It was shocking. Julian was to me another early inspiration who helped me to understand that in politics being different from the norm is not necessarily wrong.
He is now gone to that great place in the sky. It was a bit too early to leave us in my opinion. We could have had Julian over for a couple of years longer. But there is no meddling with the divine plan. All we can do is learn to enjoy the simple things in life more and do so in his memory. Thank you Julian... farewell... and hope you will be there to welcome us in the big campus in the sky.

Jacques is a gozitan lawyer plying his trade at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. He started blogging in 2005 and has not stopped yet.
J’accuse and the other blogs all reflect Jacques’ positive attitude towards life, the universe and anything Maltese based on taking everything in with a a slight dose of scepticism and a barrow load of humour.
Jacques spends his spare time travelling, playing French tarot and scopa, following the greatest football team on earth and eating ravenously. His main passion is anything related to the world of comedy, he believes that the building unit of the world is humour, and that work is an invention that alienates the human being from the full enjoyment of life. He cannot stand people who let politicians take them for a ride, hypocrites and any dishes involving endives.
He is madly in love with a blonde called Melanie and owns the world's coolest cat called Xitan.
"j'accuse: la verite' si je mens" has been online since x.iii.2005.

The big campus in the sky!! I like that phrase! If going to heaven is like going back to University, I want in, man!!!
Looking forward to see Julian up there, if I make it.
Sahha Jacques, ghada ncempillek.
Antoine.
