When we moved to Norway, Ashley and I were amused by how popular 'football' was. It is NOTHING compared to how popular it is in Malta.Pretty much every weekend at some point there is some yahoo driving around beeping his horn and waving his favourite club's flag out the window. This weekend was extra special, as the local club (Birkirkara) was slated to win the national championship. People have been talking about it for weeks. Children in gangs singing outside my apartment the Birkirkara pep songs. Finally, last night the big match was on, and before the game had even finished there were police ready to handle the crowds, street vendors ready to sell air horns and beer, and people all standing ready to celebrate. And as soon as birkirkara won, I witnessed these diehard supporters rushing to their vehicles to DRIVE AWAY beeping and waving flags. I assume they came back.
Oh, and right after this picture, a bus hit the red beer stand and beer flooded the street. No one was hurt, so it was just hilarious.

Just discovered your blog. Love to read all about Malta, especially all about the cats! Hoping to move to Malta when we've sold our house in Central America.
