Malta

[Joe 90]

^Safety first in Malta

Speaking of safety, you literally take your life in your hands walking on foot paths here.
Much safer to walk down the road, as most peeps do.

I experienced a hatric of near fatal slips on this bad boy paving today and I wasn't even pissed!

No win, no fee compo lawyers would make a killing out here.

Pic of the day...

hotel cat..


Quite rare almost all felines here are Gingers like Garfield and vvvvvvicious.




Local wildlife..




Name that car?








I nipped back after dark and salvaged the aerial from the VW Polo and some other bits for my sons car..



Booyakasha


If you don't Want to twok cars, you can always get z bus!

€2 any trip, be it 5 minutes or two hours! Totally bizarre most just buy the €21 a weekly unlimited ride card.

Continuing on the subject of transport ...

I bought a boat for €50 from a local "businessman" in a dodgy car park..

He promised me faithfully that I could fit 50 North African economic migrant males on it and earn some coinage transporting them to yhe mainland.
Fvck it I'm in!
He who dares Rodders!!



Fucking Germans!!!



Thr local sport is about as entertaining Lulu Vs Cyrille on TD celebrity countdown..




Sunset..

Looks like a nice place.

I've heard there's a bit of a red light district

It's a nice sun soaked Island steeped in culture, mostly catering to the Italian Market.

The days of British pensioners on long winter stays are long gone.

Brexit changed all that .

I prefer it this way, we are possibly the only British in our hotel.

The lads are very popular with the Maltese girls.

I've warned them that you've got to marry them if you look sideways at them or their fathers will hack your bollocks off.


Not much nightlife here or ladies of the night, not that I'm looking.

[Mendip]

A bit selfish that Joe, forget about your own low libido and think about your readers!

^Just happened to notice, like...

Kid I went to school with until about Easter '78, when he dropped out before the exams, opened a news agent's there.

After marrying a Maltese lass.

Or 'A Malteser', as my old dear liked to say.

So if you see a Brit shopkeeper, ask him if his name is Dave.

Villa [at][at][at][at] he was.

Like Boules, except it has cylinders and balls, called Bocce pronounced Bochi. Played a few times with the locals, good fun with a few beers after the sun sets.

^ How long is that index finger... Fffs

He's definately got some Thai in him

[Mendip]

^ Many years ago I lived in Horfield in north Bristol for a short time, and over the road there was a bowling green, crown bowling if I remember correctly.

I found it really good fun to play, and very addictive.

How's this for an impressive didget Dill?

Said no one ever!

Not as addictive as eye candy spread at ten to two on the beach, this pics for you Mendy, what a landscape portrait..

I don't doubt mate , but I'll stick to my Northern Soul dancing around the globe fest..

Yeah I met Trigger today , he was trying to flog me a Guardian newspaper.

BTW his story is that you dropped out and bought your degree from a car boot sale in Smethwick back in 81.
Oh and he said your a Baggie [at][at][at][at].

[malmomike77]

its ET the extra testicle.

have you got suckers on the underside of those?

[Joe 90]

You gotta admire the Maltese for their recycling schemes.

Whatever the time of day people are always using these plastic bottle recycling machines that give you a supermarket voucher for 10cents a can or bottle. Hal would love it here, he would only have to collect 50 bottles to buy a bag of Spice.



I must have lost about twenty Euros this week by not taking advantage of this scheme,fvck it...you live and learn.

Traditional Maltese lunch sandwich today, very zesty..



Rooftop pool pasties..


Ruddy jelly fish, good job I had a full bladder..



Some Changster sea art..



Sea Bream everywhere here..



Italian again tonight..





Finished with a capuchino and gut rot Martell..



Today's pic of the day comes from the thirteenth floor infinity pool at a neighbouring €1000! a night hotel, how the other half live..

[helge]

a neighbouring €1000! a night hotel, how the other half live..

Should have joined the Union like we did, Joe

Recycling bins for Man U scarfs ?

[Joe 90]

The British public were sold lie after lie, things have gotten worse of since Brexit and it can't all be blamed on Covid!

Anyhow that's for another thread


I'll make the most of being the only Brit in the village

[helge]

The Trade Unions, you City Twat !!!!!

Have a pint on me

[Joe 90]

The Trade Unions, you City Twat !!!!!

Have a pint on me

Our trade unions have fvvk all influence anymore , Thatcher saw to that..

Apart from the NUT who havd been causing misery on the trains for nearly two years!

Their monumental pay rise is going to have a massive knock on effect.

Not here in Malta, the minimum wage is about €8 an hour and explains why there is a massive SE Asian young work force here.

The Maltese ive spoken to moan about them saying they save every penny and send home not contributing to the Maltese economy, sound familiar?

[helge]

It was a joke, joe !!!!!


Have 2 pints on me



(interesting though)

Come to Denmark, earn a fortune, free uni and study pay for your kids.
Just say at the customs that you know me.

Have one of my pints on me

[Joe 90]

Come to Denmark, earn a fortune

You'd need to earn a fortune to pay for those 2 pints in Denmark I believe

[helge]

Yeah

Just paid 100 baht a piece in the Pub

But a real nice Pub

Oops

Only 33cls

[Joe 90]

Actually that's not bad!

Didn't know the Danish had a Spoons equivalent.

[helge]

Didn't know the Danish had a Spoons equivalent.

OK

I'll have to admit it.

I'm working class; I do drink bottled beer... for security reasons..

No back to the door for me...as they say

[katie23]

Great pics, chitty. Thanks for posting.

[Edmond]

The weather and water looks really nice.

The food being eaten looks terrible.

the minimum wage is about €8 an hour and explains why there is a massive SE Asian young work force here.

How does it explain that?
