St Paul's Grotto
This is the Roman cave jail where St Paul and St Luke were held prisoner by the Roman consul Publius, subsequently converted, after they were shipwrecked en route to Rome from Damascus in 60 A.D. It's under St Paul's Cathedral, Mdina. 

Horse racing (trotting) at Marsa racecourse, Malta Racing Club

The course is dampened and raked between each race.

We sent Harry Lemon to Malta to report for the Willy on this Mediterranean island, and what does he do? Sends us hundreds of pictures and no text. I told him, for God's sake Harry, select a few of them and add captions. Don't be making us like captive audiences in the old days, having to sit through hundreds of Uncle Harry's holiday slides.

Letters / Emails

Feargal, tell that blaggard Moran that he is on a final warning for moonlighting. Do you see his name on the attached? If he can't devote his entire day to the job, there are plenty of others who are only too willing - and for nothing, nada, zippo. Internees they're called. If you need anything I'll be at my accountants (Coral). And whatever you do, don't put this on the front page.

Red Woodward prop.

Abandoned format for arts-based G.O.P. candidates debate

Proposed format for final G.O.P. debate

The Samuel Beckett Theatre, address given as "Badiddlyboing, Odawidaho", was disappointed that its proposal to host the final candidates' debate was turned down. They are currently showing "Happy Days".

The Street



This is wonderful.

"Archer Street, Soho, was THE place in London for musicians to hang out & pick up gigs in the 40s & 50s. This 30' film features some wonderful 8mm archive footage of Soho, shot by musician Denis Rose, and with commentary - and jokes - from musicians who knew The Street well. Ronnie Scott, Laurie Morgan, Bennie Green etc. A nostalgic & humorous look back at a lost world."

They've all come to look for America (Facebook)

America | Bernie Sanders

This campaign is not about Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, or Donald Trump. This campaign is about you, your kids and your parents.

Great and classy Bernie Sanders campaign video with S&G song

Chirrup

The free birds are giving up their singing,
The first thing they do each morning is login.
Ostriches have learned to wear bras
And bolster their self-esteem with mindfulness.
Meanwhile rabbits are mesmerised by television;
They can't take their eyes off 24-hour news.
Even slugs are slowly moving with the times,
They all speak pure Estuary with glottal stops.
In hives there is a new type of bee, it seems,
Not a worker, a drone or a queen but a flaneur.
The flaneur bee is too heavy to fly and couldn't care
Less.
