Still no news from ADT, I was thinking of paying a visit to the fish farm I might find it there attached to the nets....

Bureaucratic Malta…Having problems to get my baby boy...is it because he is black?

As mentioned in an earlier entry, I've made a deposit of 100 euro on a new scooter and I believe out of the 27 countries that make the EU we are the only country(except Italy) that in order to get or do something we have to go thru a pile of papers to be able to get what we request. I went to the dealer this morning to get the chassis and engine number so I can insure this little thing (Insurance another pile of question and loads of signed papers) and funnily enough he told me that there is a problem with your bike. He told me, I have 60 of this machine all stuck at bonds and guess what the reason is for the vehicle being held is? ADT and Maltese way of working out things. At first I thought he was taking the piss as I had a similar experience with another salesman who has given my car to another client, but that’s another story. This scooter is build outside Europe but it has an European built low emission engine which is certified Euro 3 compliant but the little genies at ...

This is a handy guide

This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!! DANGEROUS: What's for dinner? SAFER: Can I help you with dinner? SAFEST: Where would you like to go for dinner ULTRA-SAFE: Here, have some chocolate DANGEROUS: Are you wearing that? SAFER: Gee, you look good in brown. SAFEST: WOW! Look at you! ULTRA-SAFE: Here, have some chocolate DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about? SAFER: Could we be overreacting? SAFEST: Here's fifty dollars ULTRA-SAFE: Here, have some chocolate DANGEROUS: Should you be eating that? SAFER: You know, there are a lot of apples left SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that? ULTRA-SAFE: Here, have some chocolate DANGEROUS: What did you do all day? SAFER: I hope you didn't overdo it today. SAFEST: I've always loved you in that robe! ULTRA-SAFE: Here, have some more chocolate. So.... remember: Money talks .... but chocolate sings!

A magic carpet for two, a car with two wheels, a passport to modernity. A common passion that attracts people of all ilks and warps. As they say - "a car is transport, a motorcycle is fun, but a scooter is a Roman holiday on wheels."...I'm expecting a new baby boy and he is black!...

Father's Day...

Image
There's an English proverb that goes: "One father is worth more than a hundred schoolmasters." Fathers can teach their children many important lessons. Father's Day is Sunday, June 15, and it brings to mind some of the valuable lessons I learned from my father, TRUST is the most important five-letter word in business and in life. When I was only eight years old, he said: "Son, would you like to learn a lesson that might save your life some day?" "Sure I would, Dad," I answered. "Just slide down the banister and I'll catch you," he urged. I slid ... and landed on the carpet. As I dusted myself off, he announced, "Never trust anyone completely. Keep your eyes open and your wits about you." My father also taught me that the big name on the door doesn't mean a thing. You have to know who the decision makers are. After a motor bike accident that landed me in bed for 30 days, he told me, "You can take any amount of pain a...

Guess who’s back?, Well guys and gals ‘s been long since I have scribbled some hsara tal-gurnata, and as you can see that not only my main blog was left unattended but even my other niche blogs. A lot has been going on and since I was away from our little island(in Cyprus...pictures coming soon), I had to master a new job, having my mind working overtime to design and finish my house (a new blog is in the pipeline for that called ho2ho which does not stand for what you’re thinking but it’s from a house to home) and having a hopeless internet connection, the first thing to suffer had to be the blogs. But now I’m back fully fledged and ready to share most of it :). I have to thank Sandro Vella for nominating my blogs and for being one of the few who promotes the Maltese Blogs…THANK YOU SANDRO
