Lay My Hat

It seems dear old Mr. O'leary has come up with another prank to get Ryanair in the headlines! Now we hear that they are thinking of introducing a tariff on the loos! I thinks it's all dunny fodder, just a cheeky way of getting plenty of free publicity... and publicity it is getting. If it is true, o...

LOL Paolo, not quite yet.. And it's stuff at Uefa, not FIFA.. But lets not get into that... The ladies get bored
Nice to hear from you too mate!

Thanks for the welcome back (with open arms I might add!) Enid, HelenB and Tansy.. And Tansy, you have a great memory too! Yes, one of my few vices, football. I've been busy as always, rentals have been good, albeit having my first cancellations (clients from the UK) for the first time ever since we...

Ahhhh Paul, don't start that again! You bought the bad weather with you remember.. and hey, you got a few days respite for the carnival at least.. Honestly, I find it strange how tourists like to camp just at the back-door of a Carnival city during carnival... You get all sorts I suppose ;-) Enjoy y...

Hi to all of the "oldies" here on the forum, whom I have chatted with some time ago and of course the newbies who have moved in since I have "been away". A good ol' chat over dinner here in Malta with the notorious :-) Paul Carmel and his lovely wife who are on holidays here boug...

Bon Voyage Paul & Co. Have a great time and remember, Malta is always an option for a good port of call. Drop me a line or sms if the wind blows you my way mate!

Peter, I sympathise with you, because it's the same for us here in Malta. Animal rights / anti-hunting lobbyists are doing the same to us, enciting tourists to blacklist Malta, due to our "uncontrolled hunters". I agree with their cause, but not their methods. In a recent survey, when aske...

If the plug is not easily accessible, as it is behind the washing machine itself, the risk is minimal, so I wouldn't worry. Just ensure that the humidty/condensation level cannot be too high, as this is a potential hazard with plugs and sockets unless they conform to "IP65" levels. If it w...

Helen, as with all domestic appliances installed in bathrooms (like water heaters etc) they should have a "direct connection", coming from a fused, double pole switch and not a "plug in" type socket and plug, due to the risk of electric shock in a wet and damp area. Considering t...

Well, since starting this thread way back, I can see that things are doing well for most of us here! I cannot complain, all of summer (June/July/Agust/September) is sold out and this year has even seen us selling all of February, which is not normal, but accepted with open arms! Nothing going in Mar...

Crystal,
No, he dosen't have a goatie. Well, not unless the booze had got to me by then anyways!
As for your "talking the legs off a donkey", it has just dawned upon me why I sometimes feel like a donkey after an argument with the missus!
It's a genetic thing built in with all women!!

No Paolo, he is a smashing guy! He is like me in a way! :oops: Seriously, he is a happy-go-lucky type of guy and like me, he does not mince his words. I like people who are straight forward, yet not at all arrogant. It's a shame we had so little time. I, together with the participants of the confere...

Susan, True, shared accomodation may not be everones cup of te, but in my case, it is the advantage I have over many "competitors" in my area. The fact that I live within the same complex has it's advantages where families with kids are concerened. The "lived in" atmosphere help ...

On average, most of our bookings are from families with kids. Like some of you stated, having a pool is a major attraction for families and the fact that we are within minutes of some nice sandy beaches makes the attraction bigger. I have never had any problems with children so far, afterall, they d...

Another one just rolled in. It must be "find-a-sucker-day or something! ------------------------------------------------------------- Good afternoon, unfortunately some processings have been cracked by hackers, so a new secure code to protect your data has been introduced by visa. You should ch...
