I love Malta, have been about six times now and I'm currently trying to persuade the other half that we should move over to live.

I'll definitely be back over next year though,,, (that last bit was just for Dan lol)

habbit i guess, its cause at a old place i worked at when invoicing of you used the space it would ignore it and print the comments towards the left and not highlight the notes but if i wrote
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, RECHECK PART NUMBER BEFORE LOADING VAN ! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the 30 percent of drivers would actually read it,,,,,,,, 10% would actually do it though

it was the best way to get messages noticed,, and i use it still and the place i work now

the alternative would be a note like this

95738457657 oil filer bmw E36 1.9 1 10.00 15% 8.50
please check part is correct when loading

OR



95738457657 oil filer bmw E36 1.9 1 10.00 15% 8.50
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, please check part number before loading ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


see the difference

id perfer


95738457657 oil filer bmw E36 1.9 1 10.00 15% 8.50

please check part before loading !


but it wont print like that

95738457657 . . . . . . . .oil filer bmw E36 1.9. . . . . . 1 . . . . 10.00 , , , 15% . . . . . 8.50

I ask a lame joke about making a Maltese cross, and you go off on one about medals, then I tease you about using ,,, rather than ... and I get a lesson in invoice writing.

I'd call that at least a bit mental

We go to Malta every year, normally once around end of march and again towards October. Me and the wife love the place. We've even thought about moving out there full time and getting jobs.

Fantastic wee place
