Paceville Patrols permit the Police to prevent parking problems, public parties & promiscuity in PV,
Paceville is a source of income for many entrepreneurs and investors. It has become Malta's leading night-spot to most revellers and tourists alike. Hovever, we must not forget it is a prime residential area for the many established residents.

Being one of them, I feel that us residents have one thing in common - Our wish to be respected, and not walked over by the investors, the developers and the authorities.

BRANDING MALTA Perversely
This is the latest fad. We can be relied upon to provide armchair critique, and here it is.
If branding Malta was attached to one activity alone - neatness and environmental maintanance - then we are going to have a difficult time trying to land the hot branding iron onto the flesh.

Speaking of dirt and garbage, there are volumes to be written about this alone. Taking my daily walk around my home town is a very appropraite way to reveal the problem areas. I think that one local councillor should do just this.  Patrol PV taking note of all the garbage corners, the overflowing skips, the outlets causing the litter in the form of paper bags and snack cartons and boxes. There co-exist smelly alleys, with all their beer spills,  and accumulated muck showing years of neglect, and these happen to be situated in, supposedly,  the best parts of the island's e

ntertainment area.

New name for PV 
(Pacevodka) PVdk
A public competition will soon open for the most original name given to the glitzy town of Paceville.
Many Prizes to be won. Such as a collection of varied empty vodka bottles, complete with sets of stemmed glasses, all found for free on doorsteps and window sills on Sunday morning.  To be eligible to compete, one must be semi illitterate, reeking of cheap vodka

P RUB (it in) (Paceville Rubbish)

Some residents have this uncanny habit of waiting for the garbage truck to make the collection, then just after the collectors leave, they furtively bring their rubbish bags out. I had just missed a man dropping his white bag in this photo. The bags then wait the next collection, 24 hours later. 

STICKERS DENOTING THE FINES FOR SUCH CONTRAVENTIONS ARE PLUCKED OFF BY THE PERPETRATORS THEMSELVES MINUTES AFTER BEING AFFIXED. 

A CC TV camera has now ben installed, but the rubbish still accumulates on this spot daily.

ACTION PLEASE, (authorities please note)

(Pissing Vodka in Paceville)
The amount of bottle shops in the area is ever increasing.
Paceville is fast becoming a degenerate supplier of alcohol. People of all nationalities and breeds, colours and creeds converge upon PV to drink half their lives away.  Us neighbours have to put up with the rowdy night revellers, crusading for world peace, to the detriment of the long standing community of paceville. 

Not only is it the excessive noise and behaviour that we have to put up with, but the litter of snack left overs on our doorsteps, with morsels of pizza and pastries dipped in sangria and vodka spills.

Wild Swedish Teenager on a Midnight Rampage. 
A drunk and incoherent teenager was reported bothering residents ringing their door bells and bashing at their doors at about 3:00am last week (End September 2006).  My family was one of those he disturbed. He kept on ringing the doorbell, insisting that this was his hotel and that we should let him in.  He reportedly also broke into a house finally by kicking a first floor windo open, after climbing up a nearby tree.  If that is not wilful entry.. I don't know what is. 

I think guests should show a lot more repect to us Maltese, if they intend to come and enjoy our country's hospitality.


STILL LIFE, VERY STILL AT 7 AM ON MY BACKDOORSTEP


 

Co > PV (Monoxide in Paceville)
A generator truck, parked outside a block of holiday flats in a popular sandy bay in St Julians, has been emitting carbon monoxide fumes for almost a year, non-stop now. This hired vehicle is providing the electricity supply to a block of apartments which overlook the bay, presumably for lack of grid power connection. Continued next column > 

 

< Contunued

Jan 2007: Neighbours and passers by have to endure the lethal, and odourless carbon monoxide emissions from this truck. It has been running non-stop all through summer, and its flexible exhaust tube (See red arrow) has blackened the bottom of a balcony with residue.

May 2007: UPDATE: the generator truck was finally removed and the flats connected to the Grid. Thank heavens !!!!

Space reserved for the 'Forum Feature', a hotel which has been derelict for almost a year.

A sports page might feature in this Review later... I'm still thinking of which sports to include. Whether its water sports (popularly practiced at night in certain residential areas) or other...
