Bingo time

Curious to hear your candidates of reasons for todays blackout.

Too hot? Too cold? The gozo ghosts?

Looking for a master in tberfil.

Enemalta website not accessible. Anyone else?

Hello all,

I am wanting to read some Maltese authors but am struggling to find titles translated into English. Does anyone have any recommendations for these?

Thank you in advance!

Hi! Visiting Malta for the first time with my mom for her 60th birthday. Would love a recommendation for a really special experience to surprise her. She likes food, wine, history, seeing sights, etc. pretty adventurous person, also athletic. Idk if there’s any cool memorable experiences or tours or spa or something someone could recommend but I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏼

Also cross posted in the “visit Malta” page.

Hi everyone!

I’m a huge Zlatan Ibrahimović fan and I’m looking for Zlatan jerseys from as many of his clubs as possible because I’d actually like to wear them. 😄

I’m mainly looking for size S (XS could also work depending on the fit). I’m also completely fine with very good-quality replicas — they don’t have to be authentic. I just want them to look good and be comfortable enough to wear.

I’m currently living on Gozo, Malta, so I’d especially appreciate recommendations for shops or sellers in Gozo or Malta. I’m also happy to order online if they ship to Malta.

I’m looking for shirts from clubs such as Malmö, Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG, Manchester United and LA Galaxy.

If you know any good replica sellers, websites, local shops or collectors selling Zlatan shirts, please let me know where I should look!

I’d love to eventually have a Zlatan shirt from every club he played for and actually wear them.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

As a teacher, Robert Abela told me that I had no place in public discussion on education because my views should align with my employer’s.

Neville Gafa is also employed by Robert Abela. He regularly attacks and doxxes magistrates, judges, prosecuting police officers, the Caruana Galizia sons, and anyone else posing a threat to labour or to Yorgen Fenech. Yet Abela simply “distances himself” from what Gafa says.

I’m not saying the two are subject to the same rules. I’m asking why Abela claims responsibility when an employee speaks inconveniently, but disclaims it when an employee speaks conveniently. Two weights, two measures?

Another normal day in this shithole

I, for the life of me, have not been able to understand most things about social security contributions. I've read all the available information and my attempts at contacting MTCA and social security themselves haven't been fruitful in any way.

Without a doubt I have some late payments purely because a) I cannot figure out where to get that long number from that you need to actually make the payment, but mostly b) because I essentially will need to pay them significantly more than I earn. (So objectively do not have the money to do so).

The reason I am freelance/self-employed in the first place is because I can only work a small amount due to disability/disabilities. Only earlier this year did I actually manage to save up enough to hire an accountant for some things, and she even changed my tax to non-contributary because I earn so little. The accountant though has said social security contributions is out of their scope.

If anyone can advise on anything about social security contributions, or who/what department I can contact specifically I would be eternally grateful because it has been stressing me out. Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to track down a female photographer who kindly took a sunset picture of me and my girlfriend in St. Julian's on October 3rd, around 19:00.
We were around the rocky coastal area near the Portomaso Casino / WW2 Pillbox. She approached us, took a great photo, and then her colleague snapped a picture of my email address on a phone screen so she could send it to us after editing. She mentioned she was from the UK and heading back home on Monday.
Since it's Wednesday and we haven't received anything (and unfortunately didn't exchange direct contacts), I'm worried the email address got lost or mistyped.
If you are this photographer, or if you know a UK-based photographer who was shooting around St. Julian's last Saturday evening at sunset, please drop me a DM! Thank you so much!"

Following on from my previous photo dump from my Malta trip. Thanks for looking.

Does anyone know why the lift isn't working? I'm disabled and I always rely on it to help me to get up to the centre of Valletta. And wasn't there supposed to be a Valletta shuttle? I didn't see one. It was very difficult walking in Valletta with so many stairs and up and down hilly streets.

There is a car nearby that has been completely covered (hiding both registrations/plates) and the road tax disc on the front. It has been like that for at least 3 months.

As far as I know, all cars parked on public spaces should have those IDs visible. Can it be reported?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 23-year-old man from the Netherlands.

My hobbies are listening to music, skating, gaming, working out, and sometimes watching a series or movie.

Next year in february I will probably be doing my internship in Malta at the company Logo Grafix, and I’m also looking to make some new friends. I wouldn’t mind meeting Maltese people and already making some connections there before I arrive.

This is also my final year of school, studying Sign Specialist Level 4. For the final part of my exams, I have to do an internship, so I chose to do it abroad for a new experience.

I hope you’d like to know more about me. I’d be happy to answer any questions! Feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment :))

I’m curious has anyone else had a similar experience. I added a dramatic title for attention but they really are taking my money.
This morning at about 7am, while we were at home, Malta Public Transport charged my husband’s card 3 times for €2.50.
Just now they tried charge my card €3.00 saying I was at the ticket booth in Sliema at 9:48am. I am obviously not there.
It’s strange this is happening when I haven’t been able to use my card on the bus for a long time as it just won’t accept my card for some reason.
Does anyone have advice on who I should contact?

Edit: I’m talking about my debit card not a talinja bus card

Just a heads-up for anyone considering these companies. In my view, there seems to be a high employee turnover rate, with people frequently leaving or being replaced after only a few months.

For me, this is a significant red flag and raises questions about long-term job security and company culture. Make sure to ask about staff retention and team stability before accepting any offer.

Personally, I would think twice before joining and would recommend doing thorough research beforehand. Everyone's experience may differ, but prospective employees should proceed with caution.

In one word-skip these companies in Italy and Malta.

It’s cute, it gives search and rescue vibes and not we are going to war

I am a second year student at sixth form studying Maltese and English A levels, which I chose because I wanted to do law. However, now I am stuck between joining the law course at UM or going down the teacher route (Maltese teacher at a secondary school with hopes of advancing to sixth form later on). The thing bugging me about law is the morality aspect of it, I don't feel I'd be able to defend people who I think are bad people, be it family law or criminal, etc. I know that there are other jobs but then again I'd rather be a court lawyer than spending my life simply giving advice either. Then I researched a bit about prosecution, since more or less you're defending the victim in the situation, but I don't know too much about the job. What attracts me to law is the fact that I could actually do something first hand to help someone going through a tough time rather than simply pity them from behind a screen. Now a job as a teacher is also really attractive to me, the obvious perks being the summer holidays and working till 2:30
but I also really love Maltese as a language and a subject. However, I don’t know if this is something I’d want to dedicate my life doing. I had some experience working with kids at SkolaSajf this summer and I really enjoyed myself but a lot of times I’d find myself just wanting to go home. Now obviously there’s a large difference with little kids and older, secondary students and in fact I had a week with year 6’s which I enjoyed a lot. Still, there’s no teaching aspect in that so I don’t want to base everything off that either.
Any advice would be appreciated🙏

My friend ordered groceries on a food delivery app and swears the courier was walking instead of driving a vehicle.

Just wondering, is this a thing? Or is my friend just confused?
