That is a very, very poor analogy sir, and you know it. First of all you cannot be sure these concerns were ever voiced in the populous and secondly, in my opinion, I don't see the corroboration with morality. Read More

Grow up Roger whatever, and argue your corner instead of writing cliche ridden rhetoric. This seems to be a common response when nothing is to be added. If you are against what danno said then elaborate please. Read More

I agree, and it has never been about anything you have just said........in fact I think there is only one person who has 'diverted' slightly from the point. However, and I will say it again, it is the right of no-one but the Maltese to decide on how ... Read More

I disagree George...........as the law has been recently changed in the UK my 'friends' now talk about getting married as the next step for them. So no - those getting a 'civil union' do not necessarily describe themselves as married. Two completely ... Read More

If you don't mind I want to jump into this discussion for a moment. I was attracted by this line above. You are right but sometimes it is good when you are able to give insight how it works in other culture, country or whatever you want to call it. ... Read More

Is this an indirect to my comment? If it is, you have to be more careful with what you write because a didn't disrespect anyboy. I am not arrogant or bold and it's not my duty or role to change anything on any country but I do like to see old habits ... Read More

Sell up in the UK or Keep your property? by MovingToTheMed
[color=#1A11ED]We're just about to put our home up for sale in the UK before we depart to Malta (we hope in September, if we find a buyer). I've had a chap giving some of the rooms a lick of paint ready for the sale. He got me thinking. He wanted ...
Hi Stacey.....I agree with Terry, and I'm sure the majority of people who have made the move. The property market is so flooded it is embarrassing - what has happened is a generation has 'passed on' and their large 'historic' houses have been handed ... Read More

Is Mediterranean Bank 'safe' to put my assets? by darmatian
Hello, I am returning to Malta for some months and I am wondering if it would be a good idea to open a fixed term deposit at Mediterranean Bank as a non-resident. It seems that they are offering an interest rate of 3% per 1 year, but what worries ...

Size isn't everything (there got it off my chest). Anyway, I tend to look at it as a well placed land ideal for those visits to Sicily, Sardinia, Italy, North Africa, Greece, Turkey...........I think you get my drift here. Cheers Mike Read More
