I want to share this with you because it is one of the most interesting articles I’ve read in a long while; and taken from a quarterly magazine I highly recommend – Intelligent Life.

Parliamentary match
An own goal was scored in the parliamentary stadium last Thursday night but the referee refused to allow it. The team which suffered the goal claimed that it was totally unintentional and besides, the opposing team had also made an own goal earlier on but no one had noticed – or so the blue squad alleged. The referee decided to consult the slow-mo but since this did not clarify the allegation, he felt that the most equitable solution was to have the game replayed.
While the scorer of an own goal can rightfully claim that it was never his intention to make his team lose, it still goes down as a valid goal on the score card.
While winning a match in this manner is not the most convincing or satisfying of victories, the record books register it as a win nonetheless.

Tigne Point and reserved parking
Tigne Point sales office in Sliema has had six reserved parking slots in Censu Xerri street for a number of years. Why this company has a privilege that other business concerns in Sliema do not is open to speculation. What I question now is why it should retain these slots when it owns a massive underground car park on site. Let us see these spaces returned to the general public as soon as possible.
