We all need to find those non-chav activities which keep us sane. They do exist. Try endurance sport. Triathlon, cycling, that sort of thing. 

They&#039;ve flourished in recent years. 

Or outdoor activities: climbing is surprisingly non-chav. Lots of expats too. Windsurfing and sailing (lots of posh kids here; the others prefer power-boats and offshore RHIBs).  Or boxing (lots of expats here too), judo, taekwondo and other martial arts. 

It&#039;s probably no coincidence that the kind of activities where fools and chavs are rare are those things where stupidity and bullshit can get you killed.*

Or try cricket. It&#039;s a gentleman&#039;s sport that&#039;s been kept alive in Malta by a mere handful of enthusiasts. I don&#039;t know if there&#039;s a ladies&#039; team. 

*I make an exception for fireworks manufacture...]]></description>
