Well it seems just like Queensland Police (Australia) Maltese police have absolutely no sense of humour.

This is how I found the office this blustery morning…

Shortly after I arrived the real police arrived and now at least one of the staff has to go to a local police station to make a statement!

Some people have no sense of humour…

Got my new apartment today.. Few things missing, but they can soon be obtained. The view is spectacular and I’ll update this page later with a photo or three…

House purchase is proceeding, should have the contracts signed before Christmas 09, just wondering if I’ll be able to move in as soon as that though…?

The apartment photos including the view!

Well after last night experience, Human Resources got on the phone to the Palace and the Hotel Victoria (the two hotels are physically linked and owned by the same people.)

Well some of you know I was flying to Malta, finding a place to live then flying back to Australia to move the house several weeks later. Unfortunately because of yet another break in attempt co-incidentally only a short while after catching my ex Melissa barefaced lying to me I was forced to alter the plans, and pack up everything before I left….

Well here I am in Malta, all my stuff is in transit, and I’m to live in the Hotel Victoria whilst I locate somewhere more permanent to buy and live… This is a 4 star boutique hotel, and has a rather impressive first floor… What is not so impressive is my experience on the first night…

Here’s a list of what’s wrong so far (and I’ve only been here 10 hours)…

• As of 7pm no hot water to shower, bath or wash one’s face with.
• Air-conditioning is either “High and Icy” or “Off”
• TV has 2 English channels that keep going “silent” until TV is power cycled.
• No drinking water in the room – water from tap is salty, reception suggested I order water from the bar.
• As of 10pm Toilet/Bathroom smells like a sewer (literally)..!
• Pillows on the bed are a couple of old flat foam rubber piece pillows (the sort you can get for a dollar at Kmart).
• I’ve been called “Sir” several times by hotel reception (though all other staff have been really nice and called me “Maam”.)
• They’ve take an “Auth” of my credit card for some E1000, now making it completely useless as that takes it over it’s limit (the room was supposed to be pre-paid).

On the brighter side, “Alfred” from the bar was very nice, funny and looked after me personally, and the trainee on reception has been quite responsive, though not apologetic.

Well last night I was sitting with a very pretty young lady eating “Indian” at “A Night in India” in Toowong, and some moron in a car drove past and lobbed an egg at the people on the path.

The targets were a large party of Asian origin people, and whilst they were fortunate that the thrower was clueless and hadn’t taken into account kinetic energy of the car or the egg so it missed its intended target. The egg shattered on the path and splattered two of the other random people walking nearby.

One has to ask the questions… what sort of moron throws eggs at random people? Was it a race hate thing? Was it a random act of a small minded moron? Was it just because it was a large group of people therefore a target they “couldn’t miss”?
