oh my god that was funny even though it was cool only in 1982, thanks for bringing that up again. Where would we be today without that comment of yours?

Perhaps they mix up ‘arrogance’ with ‘aggressive’?

Dim wits.

I really can’t understand why most want to go to Valletta or Mater Dei too!

NOT only in Malta –

“How is it that the word stepney, and not the place in London called Stepney, came to mean ‘substitute wheel’ or ‘replacement wheel’ in a non-British variety of the English language? The word is spoken in Bangladesh, India, and Malta, all countries once colonised by the British.

Well, according to the OED, the word comes from the screw-on spare wheels that were manufactured in Stepney Street, Llanelli, South Wales. The wheels were exported to countries throughout the British Empire, and the word stepney stuck. So successful was this accessory of Empire that the stepney wheel was incorporated into the Llanelli coat of arms.” http://www.bl.uk/learning/langlit/dic/oed/stepney/stepney.html

It has nothing to do with change, although if change had to happen everyone seems to have expected ARRIVA to provide a taxi service.

As far as I know the new system was intended to be a new bus service, no more, no less.

ARRIVA and MTO mistake was that they tackled the issue in reverse. They first went with the ‘new, improved and confusing’ routes when they should have started with what the public was familiar with for decades and gradually improved or added to the existing routes.

Are you surprised that there were only six comments at the news that there were significantly more riders in August than a year ago? That was a ‘good news’ story.

This is typical of the reaction to any piece of good news connected with government initiatives, NSO and EU statistics and other similar stories.

Give them garbage coming from Joseph and the LP’s mouths and you will find hundreds of comments defending El Capo and his gang. Usual names, usual inane comments, usual bad spelling and usual envy.
