How do Maltese people feel about this?

My question is: Just like when a Maltese citizen steps out of line and has to go through court and sentenced to jail for the crime he committed, how do these stories with illegal immigrants end up? Do they pay for the crimes as well? Or do they just get away with it? This Police officer seems to be accepting their crimes!!!

How can a police officer say that certain zones do not belong to us Maltese people after a certain time? Its bloody ridiculous!!!

How do Maltese people feel about this?

I am one of those people who say give them a chance and help them out, it could have been me in the situation. Having said that if it was me driving, I would not have stopped the car!!! As if I would stop and have these f*ckers attack me or damage my car. I don't care if I run him over, I'm only protecting myself!!

I did not realise that this is going on here. I always assumed that people exagerate when they talk about incidents that happen with these illegal immigrants involved. In fact I searched the internet to make sure this article was publiushed on the online newspapers because I recieved it through e-mail...and there it was!!

So from now on, yes I agree, send them back to where they came from!!

My family's trauma

On Saturday 4 August, at 2115hrs, I was driving to Birzebbugia from Hal Far Road to ‘Tal-Gebel’ Road, with my wife and my mum in the back seat.

Suddenly three immigrants stopped in the middle of the road ahead of me, and I had no alternative but to stop and ask them to move, while locking the windows of the car and flashing the lights. Two of them did move but the third one held on to the bullbar of the car and stood there for a while, then moved to the side of the car and started hitting the bonnet of the car with his fist.

Since it was a feast day at Birzebbugia, I had to park the car at the outskirts of the village and walk to the police station. After my family and I explained this traumatic experience to five Maltese policemen, the first question I was sarcastically asked was: “Am I ready to go to Hal Far barracks and identify the persons involved? I am convinced that there are few persons on the island who could identify coloured people at 1000hrs in the morning, figure out at 2100hrs at night, in the middle of a road with no lights at all.

After a report was drafted I was asked to go back on Wednesday after 2100hrs to the Birzebbugia police station so they can have a look at the damages in the car.

This did not convince me so I drove up to the Zejtun Police Station and went through the whole story once again. The very helpful sergeant on duty came to look at the car and noticed a lot of finger prints which in his opinion could help to identify the perpetrator.

Back at the station the sergeant contacted the Birzebbugia police station and advised the police there that he inspected the car so I do not have to go back on Wednesday. He also contacted the Police Inspector on duty and asked him for permission to take finger prints from the car, and try to match them with finger prints of the migrants stationed at Hal Far. For reasons that I still do not know, the sergeant told me that his superiors advised that there is no need for all this, and asked me to come on Monday pay Lm3 and collect the report, which I have to give to the insurance agency so they can handle my claim.

This is really unjust! I am a Maltese citizen who has been paying taxes for the last 35 years. My property was abused and damaged in front of my family, and I now have to pay for the damages done deliberately by a foreign person for whom I also pay taxes to provide him with food and shelter. In return, local police treat us as second class citizens.

I cannot understand this, and that is why I am exposing all this to the public.

After a sleepless night, the first thing I have done this morning was to contact the police headquarters. After listening to the military marches on the telephone operator service for over an hour I was passed on to the forensic division. The sergeant on duty patiently listened to my request but informed me that he could not help me out unless he is authorised by the inspector of the south region. He also told me that I am 100% right but (quoting) “try to avoid Birzebbugia and Marsa, as after sunset both places do not belong to us anymore.”

Once again this is unfair, unjust and simply not right. Such words from a police officer raise lots of questions.

I hope that is letter is read by people in parliament and some sort of action is taken.

While talking about the incident with people living in Birzebbugia, I confirmed that such accidents are being repeated day after day. This is simply not on. I am a 52 year old person and tried to live according to all the laws and regulations through all my life, and as from today I say that the law administrators thought me a lesson.

I ask you God - do not let me go through this again.

Online dating mistakes MEN make

Thanks for your appreciation Englishman

Online dating mistakes MEN make

Remember I'll probably meet you much earlier than that, and if you keep this up, Marti will have shredded toys to play with...so watch your mouth!

Online dating mistakes MEN make

1) Remember that when creating your profile, less is more. You want to stand out and be memorable without revealing too much. Keep your essays short, punchy, playful, and positive. Reveal enough personal detail to create a quick connection but not so much that you remove the mystery.

2) Upload 2-5 flattering, but accurate pictures. Resist the temptation to include out of date photos when you had 30% more hair and 20% fewer pounds.

3) Keep it real. Some readers will check your profile for accuracy at on online dating review site. And every other member will just avoid a second date if you weren't the man your profile presented you as.

4) As soon as possible, meet for coffee and a chat to see if you like each other. Forget about emailing for months and getting all worked up over email. The longer you leave it before you meet, the less likely it is to happen. Ask for a coffee date in the first two weeks of emails. This will save you a lot of time and energy and disappointments. If the other person doesn’t agree to meet, move on and don’t worry about it. There are plenty more.

5) Choose the time and place if you're making the invite. People tend to respect decisive partners. So decide/suggest the cafe, time and date. If the person can’t make it when you suggest, reschedule within reason. The person will get the impression that you are not timid and are comfortable making decisions. This is good, although being pushy, demanding, or adamant is not the image you want to convey, either; find that comfortable median.

6) Set your expectations low before the first date. By keeping your cool, you will stay on your game during the date, not complicate things with "high" expectations, and thereby avoid disappointment.

7) Be relaxed at the coffee date. Don’t mention past partners or that you haven’t been dating for a long time. Just have some fun and be happy.

8) Sending a message with a boring subject
Fact #1: Guys outnumber girls by at least two to one on most online dating sites and that's a conservative number.
Fact #2: Good looking girls get dozens of winks and messages in any given day. You can have the most awesome profile and you can send her the most intriguing message, but she may never see it. How come? Simple… Once again, women with good online profiles get lots of winks and messages every day. Give her a reason to open your message first! It has to stand out among all the others, or it has a high chance of getting deleted and never read. Spend just as much time crafting an intriguing subject line as you do in writing the rest of your message. Ask her a question or specifically reference some detail in her profile so that she will know you actually read it and are truly interested in more than just her looks.

RE: The witches thread -

Very interesting HiFi thanks for that.

Many people have told me more than ones that if my eyes were fire I would be able to burn the man in front of me alive...have you got any tips for making this come through literally? That would be fun...first on the list would be my boss if he starts being funny after all this time off work!!

You seem to know well what Prince Charming is all about Sourmash

Do I take that answer as you wanting to protect me further with your shield? Could you kindly explain what you mean by "your dearest possessions"? I wont say here what came to mind

True Prince Charming will sweep me off my feet and keep me...of course...but only time will tell, I'm just trusting my intuition.

I must agree that you KNOW what kind of balance is needed. About the tongue bit, its not me looking at it from the naughty side, its me knowing you

Last two mistakes women make!

Yes there is also the possibility to have a real man, even if the chances are not that big, but they do exist!! Being prepared though never harms you, we still have to protect ourselves. That's the difference between any guy and Prince Charming

Mistake #2: Signing Up for a One-Month Subscription
Even though you know how difficult it is to find a soul mate, you signed up for a one-month subscription on a dating site. One month! You're going to fall in love before you get your next phone bill! Clearly, you've created an unrealistic timetable. So while you may not want to date online forever, you're shortchanging yourself if you act as if you have only 30 days to find a husband.
Remind yourself why you started dating online -- it's hard to meet people in real life.
And quitting is not an option.

Mistake #1: Searching for the Right Dating Site
If a girlfriend told you that her biggest problem in losing weight was that she couldn't find the right gym, you'd probably shake your head. You know that it's not the gym but your friend's dedication to using the gym that makes all the difference. Yet you may think that you can cure your dating blues just by choosing the right website. Newsflash: ANY website with lots of single men can be the right website; your success is ultimately determined by how you use that site.
You can use Yahoo! to search all day long to find a place that is populated with tall, honest, successful men. But at the end of the day, it's not the site that will determine your fate. It's you. The question is how committed you are to turning yourself into a success story.

Long but worth knowing I thought!
