Boat Ownership in Malta? by mikea

Further assistance required please!... I am considering options of buying a boat but obviously there are bound to be a whole list of hoops to jump through before actually being able to 'set sail'! Can anyone give me some pointers of where to start ...

Anyone going to the 'big game' tomorrow? by mikea

Any forecasts / guesses as to the score? As a hammers fan, I'm just slightly biased but I'm going for 0-2 !!! (he hopes :) )

Mike

Congrats to Birkirkara for their superb efforts (despite the theatrics!) and I'm more than somewhat aghast at the way the hammers played... but at the end of the day it was the result that West Ham needed and got! Well done Malta for the show! Read More
