OT Malta

Bit of both really, it appears to be stuck in about 1972.

 

A bit like French Tele on a Saturday night then.

 

My cousins are all staunch card carrying Nationalists. One of them even
works for the Nationalist TV station

BMW E46 318iSE (it's a car, not one of those 2-wheeled pieces of shite
they churn out)

 

That's the big difference between your family and mine.

 

Spicfight!

 

It's a bit like the Shetlands wanting independence though

 

Which TBF is no bad thing.

 

I've ridden the bike in Northern Italy where things are pretty manic. I had
a hired Fiat Panda when down south which seemed to have Tardis like
properties as I'm sure the exterior dimensions were smaller than they
appeared from inside.

 

Indeed. Driving a Panda out of Naples airport straight in to the thick
of it was a memorable experience. Got the hang of the obligatory tyre
squealing by the end of the week though.

My closest shave was with a municipal truck on the Amalfi coast road, east
of Amalfi town where it gets a bit narrow. Part of that road is named Via
Nastro Azzurro...

 

Or like Italian telly most nights.

Looks like the game show never really went out of fashion there...
which seems to mostly entail grey haired old men leering over scantily
clad burds...

Last week, as on every May 1st, Waldighoffen staged it's bike baptism
and rally day. The second part just means there's hundreds of bikes
riding past all day, but the first is, well, yes, they take their
bikes to a church and get them blessed.

Makes me feel quite ill.

Although a quick google fails to find any mention of the blessing but,
so maybe they've dropped the idea this year. Loadsa bikes, mind.

And what is wrong with this I ask, except that I don't get prizes for
doing it when off camera?

 

Point and go

nothing magic about it

 

Why ?

Its quite simple - they know where they think they want to go and just
aim for it
... even when there is 6" of snow on the ground, which makes life
interesting. Italians don't do snow very well
