Great topics there Redmik.

The buses are seriously down to the Drivers not being experienced enough to drive them, they drive them as if they are cars and have absolutley no foresight into what may be coming up.... In my time here in Malta I have learned that you take every sinle junction as if a car is going to pull out on you... the bus Drivers do this as they are used to driving their own cars but they obviously forget about the distance they need to stop !!

As far as the George Cross is concerned, this was given to Malta as a respect for what the people of Malta did during the War,. the Hospitality of the people, The Strength and Honour of the people... Most Maltese also think this way apart from Mr Micallef and Mr Norman E Grech :)

Mr Grech sounds like a Son of Gaddafi but i am sure that in his little mind he thinks he is right. Telling others that it has nothing to do with him.... These are the people of Malta that would also start shouting as to why the "Foreigners" have stopped coming to Malta and spending their money...

After Thursday's serious three-bus accident occurring in Floriana,  humouristic pictures are making the rounds on Facebook.
More than 20 people were injured and the scene was not funny to watch. However, some people decided that a little bit of humour to brighten our days never killed anybody.
