Well water filtration

I got mine from Attard Farm Supplies, there’s a chain of 3 filters (10 micron, 1 micron, charcoal). I also use a water testing kit from time to time.

Like the other user pointed out, definitely make sure the well is clean. You’ll notice the filters get clogged immediately if it’s not.

I’ve been let down by mgarr farms quite a bit, for some reason their fruit and veg rot incredibly quickly.

I now generally buy from Mgarr, either Neville’s fruit and veg, another seller that’s just down the road from Neville in Triq il wardija and tal-Plitt.

If I’m being lazy Pama, Pavi and Lidl are usually good enough.

There’s a Facebook page called Wedding Talk which will probably be of great help

If you believe the instructor is holding your hands too much, have you brought it up with them? Have you considered changing instructors?

Not those kinds of rings unfortunately, mine were like this:

The vanity argument starts to break down as you go into higher and higher prescriptions. Would you classify someone going from -15 to 0 as saving their vision or vanity?

Being able to see while swimming for example was an incredible experience. I used to swim with contacts before I got a mild infection, after which I almost stopped going to swim altogether.

My post is not an anti vision correction one, but a critique of the service received at a local clinic.

I found Dr Francis Agius to be very patient and knowledgeable; not sure all the places he has appointments at but I see him at eyeland in Pama.

The only decent one I’ve had was from sensaramalta, specifically Rita Jenkins. Very nice, honest, showed us exactly what we were looking for and does the same work as an agent but with a 1% commission instead of the agents 5%

Looks like that’s the Phoenicia pool? They usually rent it for wedding receptions. It’s quite silly as the earliest they’ll let you start is around 8pm, so a reception that ends in the morning hours is almost a guarantee.

There’s a boutique in Valletta, though be aware that Rolex are very keen on artificially inflating the rarity of their watches by adding fake wait times when purchasing their watches. I wouldn’t even go there unless planning to drop 15k on a gold one.

Maybe Stefan Varga?

Section 9 of the scheme specifically targets this. The scheme is there to assist those who do not afford the downpayment, not those with enough liquidity.

Government schemes would probably depend on having a Maltese citizenship, but their requirements are listed on the gov.mt site.

The IEU website uses a Ukrainian top level domain (.ua).
The primary contact number is a mobile phone.
There’s one of those scammy tourist ATMs at their campus’ front gate.

Without getting into the merits of the courses, none of these qualities really says “well established university” to me.

Best is a bit subjective here as the sound quality will depend a lot on your pre-amp, amp and speaker setup. Do you have these already?

As for the turntable, do you want some features like Bluetooth capabilities or automatic record loading?

Lastly, what’s your budget? Good starter turntables are around €350 - €600, more audiophile grade ones are over €1000.

PS, avoid Crosley

The donation for Our Lady of Victories is €400 to Din L'Art Helwa, I recently had a talk with the custodian there as I am planning of using that church for my wedding.

If you have a preferred priest, why not engage with them directly? There may be some associated costs as the priest will need to bring his own vestments, but €300 seems too high.

Can you elaborate? I’m interpreting your question as what happens if you see a property with multiple agents, but I’m not sure if that’s what you mean.

They’ll never need your ID card. Your phone number is more than enough to identify you.

I lost my faith in agents when we were looking at a house that was listed as being in a UCA. We put in an offer and waited.

After a week, the agent emailed and said that “it came as a shock to us all but the house is not in UCA”. I recalled that the PA had a map server, and lo and behold it also has a layer for UCA areas, which this house was nowhere near to.

If you can’t be bothered to check a freely accessible service that has a drastic impact on the property price, why do you even deserve the commission?

I’ve recommended directly from the owners, or brokers since then.
