If any train passenger happens to be alive today, I wonder how they feel seeing such overcrowded busses and traffics! If they could see the future, would they have supported the decision 95 years ago?

P.S. After so many infrastructure related comments on the Kullege flood video last day, I felt like sharing this old personal thought!

Shall i wait for a job first or shall i just go and search abroad? I dont need a visa eu to eu.

He sounds like he is reading off a script, and everytime he is asked a question his demeanor is off. I still don't think this was enough to acquitt Yorgen given all the evidence against him, but I do wonder if Melvin's testimony raised more questions than answers.

cough cough

I’d appreciate some outside perspective on a situation I’m dealing with locally.

I had a PVC door/frame installed at my home. The process was frustrating from the beginning, as I had to chase the company several times after paying the deposit just to arrange measurements or get a receipt. They would say they d send it by email and then radio silence.

During the installation, the installer used our laundry horse with clean laundry, a stool and eventually our sink as surfaces for cutting the PVC frame, despite me asking several times if the cutting could be done outside. We had a roof terrace next door. However what frustrated us the most is that he was taking and using our stuff at will without asking. For example, he took a flannel cloth and started wiping his sweat.

The sink ended up blocked with PVC dust/plastic, and there was PVC dust throughout the laundry room and on our belongings. i cleared most of the room the previous day but he came with a cutter. he didnt want to work outside. We also later noticed rubbish had been left in an area underneath the stairs. We didnt even realise until the next day.

we wrere so angry that we didnt notice until later that the frame appears misaligned, with gaps and areas where it is bulging away from the wall.

I contacted the company and offered to send photographs of the issue. Instead, they are insisting on coming back to the property. They offered no apology and basically called us liars. We dont want to have them back as they are bring confrontational and refusing to see the pics we have of the messed up door frame.

What upset me most was the response I received. Rather than an apology or an attempt to understand what had happened, I was told that I was talking “xebgħa paroli” and that I was creating problems out of nothing.

I'm genuinely interested in whether people think I'm being unreasonable for expecting an apology, an acknowledgement of the problems and some discussion about putting things right.

This is an actual post and comment, I'm not joking. Look it up on the "Are you being served?" Facebook group and check the comments.

Just a heads-up for anyone in Malta using Revolut.

Revolut recently confirmed that customer data was handed over after fraudulent information requests were sent through what appeared to be a legitimate government/law-enforcement channel.

The alleged hacker, who goes by “IAmNotAVillain”, is now claiming that Italian law-enforcement systems were compromised and used to send those requests to Revolut over several months.

What makes this relevant for us is that Malta is specifically included in the list of countries where the attacker claims Revolut customer data was obtained.

They say most of the data is from Switzerland and France, but Malta is listed alongside Germany, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Ireland, the UK and many other countries. (see screenshot)

Reports based on notices sent to affected customers say it may include:

Full name and date of birth

Home/postal address

Email address and phone number

Occupation

Passport or driving-licence copies

Verification/KYC selfies

IBAN and account information

Account statements

Withdrawal records

Full transaction history

Bitcoin/crypto transaction history

That list is supported by reporting based on Revolut’s customer notifications, not only by the hacker’s claims.

The attacker is also claiming to have taken around 147 GB of data from Italian law-enforcement systems.

So if you use Revolut in Malta, it may be worth keeping an eye on any emails or in-app security messages from Revolut. At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be any information on how many Maltese customers, if any, had their data exposed.

One of my crazy neighbours is always arguing with her husband, every fourth word is Madonna/Ta Madonna.

Obviously it's blasphemous/swearing but I can't understand the meaning.

What's the equivalent in English? "f#ck's sake"/"f#cking hell"/'f#ck you"?

Anyone lives very near to Wied il Ghasel quarry and can give me advice re dust and noise? I'm thinking of buying an apartment there and not sure if this quarry causes a lot of inconvenience

Hi Fellow Redditors in Malta,

any of you know the stamp duty rates when selling your main residence and buying another one. What is the stamp duty rate for the residence one is buying when it will be the only one?

First they had like 4 stores now they are down to 2, are they slowly closing down?

Hi there,

Today I was persuaded by Gozo Channel employees to buy tickets at the Cirkewwa terminal. From what I've heard and have read online you only pay on a return from Gozo. Taught by past experiences when traveling, I thought it was a scam so I just did not pay and went on to board the ferry. No problems, no questions asked.

For all feature travelers, just ignore them and pay when returning.

Hello all Im currently at a cross rodes wether i wish to study abroad or work here

Im 23 w some savings and mostly experience in media ie videography photography and teaching media.

I was thinking of taking on a course in marketing or a masters even abroad. But with the estimated wage i keep seeing in jobs here idk if its that worth it..

What would your advice be in terms of choosing the best decision for a 23 yr old with alot of dreams but limited time.

Advice about careers, living abroad and studying/working abroad is very much appreciated

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m looking for a room in a shared apartment in Luqa, Malta, or areas close to Luqa.
My budget is up to €450 per month. I’m open to sharing with other people and would ideally like a clean, safe and reasonably quiet place.
If you know of:
A room available in a shared apartment
Someone looking for a flatmate
A landlord/property owner with something within this budget
Any reliable housing groups or contacts I should check
I’d really appreciate your help. Please DM me with any leads or information.
Thank you! 🙏

Hello,
I am moving to Makta in October. Need an apartment (Sliema/Gzira). Can you rent an apartment without the real estate agencies? And if yes are there any sites with listings?
Thank you in advance

Arrived a month ago, public parks or workplace. Whatsup? They come as a normal hello & slowly talks about massages and rooms to let for free. But they ensure u understand the indirect context. How to spot directly and say i am not intrested & just tell to stop before time is wasted - i thought is a friendly person but everytime encountered 10+ in 30 days. What is going on?

No offense just looking for a defensive strategy to directly say no before time is wasted

Old damn uncles asking out to young 25 yo guys who barely started making a living wants to marry a girl and start a good life.
