For the next 48 hours, it’s unlikely that I’ll have access to the internet. Carry on commenting. I’ll upload them if I can. If not, they’ll have to wait until Saturday evening.

just been announced by DR JOSEPH MUSCAT the setting up of Assocjazzjoni Eks Deputati Laburisti and quote “they still have a lot to offer ” new labour. some of the ex deputati I recognised were Dr Philip Muscat of 20 punt oxxeni fame (who was responsible for depriving a generation of their tertiary education), Dr Censu Moran of 10 year doctor’s strike fame,(who wrecked Malta’s healthcare) and other croonies of the seventies ! My oh my, what an OXX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David S: Go easy, David, or you might find yourself sued by Toni Abela.
He will never get it right, ever.
The Nats must be peeing in their pants with laughter and thinking……………”this century is for us baby ! !”
(On a serious note, THAT in itself is a shame, because Herr OX is leaving us no option………..shame)
Hi
I know is off topic and I don’t really know if it’s a good idea, but it seems to me that you might be the person to ask few important for me questions.
I was born in Poland and lived there for nearly 20 years. Then I started traveling. Few months ago I’ve returned to Europe after years living in Australia (my missis said it’s too far to europe, so there’s no way back), moved to UK and I’m deeply disappointed with it. With information I’ve founded in internet it looks it’s like Australia a bit.
Just to give you rough idea of me I speak fluen English, Polish native and Iknow German (is decreasing now due to lack of conversations), I was working in offices, hospitality and travel (done Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management) and were doing all types of construction works. I’ve been working as supervisor and managing people in English for last 3 years. I’m spontanious, open and hard working person with massive traveling experiences and finaly trying to settle down.
I would like to ask you big favour, can you tell me how everyday life looks like on Malta? I mean salary, expenses, work opportunities, etc. If it would be place to live, i would consider to move in. Any clues will be big thing. My email is [email protected]
Looking forward to hear from you
Best regards
Patrick
[Daphne – Patrick, I’m sure you’ll get lots of responses, but if you get any rude ones, ignore them. Does anyone out there know any useful links? Just for a start, these are the daily newspapers which might help give you a feel of the place http://www.timesofmalta.com and http://www.independent.com.mt. Salaries and expenses are much lower than the UK. The climate is more what you’re used to in Australia, but the size, the landscape and the scale of things are entirely different.]
I know this is going out of the topic, but Daphne, I didn’t know you couldn’t get along well with people and so just make acquaintances through blogging. (LOL) “Think about the most assiduous bloggers you know – the ones who never let up and never take a break from their rants or online gossiping, the Gerry Springers of cyberworld. They’re usually unpleasant people who take issue with everybody and do not make good company. So they find refuge on the net. At least we can avoid them there.” – This is what Her Highness, a.k.a. Marie Benoit implied. It is crystal clear her nonsense is aimed at you.
Hey Daphne, (or should I call you Ms. Boastful and Spiteful Blogger? As Her Highness refers to you) I didn’t know you attended such an inferior school to Benoit’s and co. “Certainly no boastful and spiteful bloggers amongst us who spend the best part of their nights posting insults and diminishing others. We leave that sort of thing to girls from other schools.”
My point is that this Benoit is a paradox herself. She accuses others of insulting her and the Higher Strata she is part of (or perhaps pretends she is) whilst in reality she is doing that. Hey, at least one must admit she is funny, perhaps a little too redundant and certainly the epitome of obnoxiousness, but funny. And, since I am absolutely sure she will be looking around here, as she herself admitted, I want to thank her for making me laugh, now that her far-fetched, obnoxious pieces became a little more decipherable.
[Daphne – I know. She’s veering into ‘dangerous obsession’ territory, but some people need a scapegoat on which to fixate all their hatreds and resentments. What she doesn’t know is how much those ‘old girls’ talk about her behind her back, which is par for the course in the narrow circles in which she moves.]
@ Patrick
Hey Patrick, regarding work and so on, you can also go on the ETC’s website. There are lots of jobs listed there, and usually they also give you the wage straightaway. Here’s the link; http://www.etc.gov.mt/
If you want to get some further details regarding Malta as a country, (education, work and so on) you can click on the government’s website: http://www.gov.mt/ (also click on the ENGLISH icon, as it will probably give you everything in Maltese)
Hey, this is just for an in-depth on Malta, but certain paragraphs might be useful. Go on Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta
As a country to live in, well, I think you might like it. Climate’s quite bearable, that is neither extremely hot nor extremely cold. Averaged, so to say. Well, in summers it’s a lit hot, but bearable. As Daphne already told you, the pays are much lower than those of the UK. However, the expenses are again much lower. As to what regards work opportunities, well, there are as well. You might get responses stating that there are none at all, but those will be blatant lies. Only those not wanting to work do not find jobs here. So if you want to work, you will find work.
Regards,
Luca.
Firstly, many thanks for all the answers.
I know that pays are lower on Malta but I’m not looking for top bannana jobs (if I’ll get one – all right :) ). I want at last get the feeling that I’m in the right place, doing right things and start celebrating every day of my life, not woring about anything else except my family.
I’ve seen on etc.gov.mt many jobs (thanks againg for the tip) just hope that they’ll be able to employ me, as I heard that even when you’re EU citizen it’s hard to get contract.
I’m planning to start my new life on Malta around may next year. I know that the islands are not too big, so maybe … see you then!
Cheers.
Pat
I will be slipping out of context, again. (Apparently it’s becoming a hobby.)
I was on Wikipedia, (have a research to finish) and in some way, I ended up clicking on Alfred Sant and got the stuff about him, but no photo whatsoever. Then I clicked on Joseph Muscat, and a big photo of him turned up. Quite eerie I thought… :S
