We thought that since we’ve heard that the law on inherited property was changed, there’s nothing to stop us from selling. Well, it’s not as easy as the minister makes it out to be.

This year’s family walk in aid of Inspire will take place this morning, starting from Qawra near the Luzzu Restaurant. Inspire helps over 1,000 persons with a disability through educational, therapeutic and leisure services.

Registration will take place at 9am and the walk will start at 9.30am, taking its route around Qawra. There is no need to register in advance. Читать дальше...

British productivity fell at its joint-fastest rate since 2013 in the 12 months after the country voted to leave the European Union, data showed yesterday, underscoring the main challenge facing the economy as Brexit approaches. Britain has long struggled to squeeze more output from its workers as many companies have been hiring extra staff rather than investing in new equipment. That has resulted in unemployment falling to its lowest level in more than 40 years even as wage growth has been weak. Читать дальше...

The dictionary definition of a hunter no way reflects these single brain-celled rednecks I have been reading about most days, shooting anything that flies since the ‘hunting’ season started. My Swedish friends, who originate from Lapland, where they tracked and hunted moose and elk, cannot contain their amusement when we discuss the antics of these camouflage cowards.

Italy's hopes of qualifying directly for next year's World Cup were dashed as they produced another uninspired performance and were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Macedonia in their qualifier on Friday. The result, coupled with Spain's 3-0 win over Albania, ensured that Italy will finish second in Group G, almost certainly guaranteeing them a place in a two-leg playoff for a place in Russia next year. Giorgio Chiellini put Italy ahead five minutes before halftime but the hosts were stunned when Aleksandar Trajkovski levelled in the 77th minute. Читать дальше...
