“The remaining dogs continue to receive necessary treatment,” Animal Welfare affirmed, referring to the group of pitbull terriers rescued from a residence on Triq Għarram last Thursday.

“Unfortunately, Bronko, one of the dogs rescued earlier this week by Animal Welfare, lost his battle because of his grievous injuries. Although veterinarians within the Animal Welfare department have done everything possible in recent days, Bronko succumbed to his injuries.”

The World’s Newest Oldest Living Man: John Tinniswood

The World’s Newest Oldest Living Man: John Tinniswood
Apr 7 2024 Share

John Tinniswood, a 111-year-old great-grandfather from Merseyside, has been recognized as the world’s oldest living man. Residing in a care home in Southport, Tinniswood attributes his remarkable longevity more to luck than lifestyle choices, although he enjoys fish and chips every Friday.

He downplays any notion of a special diet, saying, “I eat what they give me, like everyone else.”

Tinniswood, a Liverpool FC enthusiast, abstains from smoking and limits alcohol consumption.

He keeps abreast of current events by listening to the radio and manages his finances independently. His philosophy on health emphasizes moderation: “If you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”

Born in Liverpool in 1912, Tinniswood worked in accounts for Shell and BP until retiring in 1972. He fondly recalls meeting his late wife, Blodwen, at a dance during World War II. Reflecting on his 111 years, he remarks on the evolving world, cautiously optimistic about its progress.

Regarding his newfound Guinness World Record status, Tinniswood remains modest: “Doesn’t make any difference to me. Not at all. I accept it for what it is.” Described as a “big chatterbox” by care home staff, Tinniswood’s life is a testament to embracing each day with contentment and resilience.

Pavements Are For People, Not Tables & Chairs, ADPD Says

Apr 6 2024 Share

The Green Party emphasized the importance of electing representatives who prioritize constituents’ concerns over monetary interests in the forthcoming local council elections.

ADPD’s Brian Decelis highlighted the longstanding issue of catering establishments occupying state-owned land, previously protested by him in the 1990s. Now, public spaces like pavements are cluttered with tables and chairs, obstructing residents’ access. Decelis aims to restore balance between residents’ needs and business interests as a Marsaskala local council candidate. He even stated his reason for running saying “That is why I am running for local council candidate for Marsaskala, to see that this balance is maintained in all decisions taken”.

ADPD Chairperson Sandra Gauci supported Valletta residents’ frustration with excessive encroachment by commercial establishments into public spaces, a problem also faced by other localities. The lack of enforcement of regulations allows businesses to operate with impunity, facilitated by regulations favoring business interests over public welfare. Gauci also stated that residents from other localities, such as Sliema, St Paul’s Bay, Marsaskala, Birżebbuġa and Mellieħa, face the same problems on a daily basis.

This situation arises from decisions made without input from affected communities, highlighting the need for elected representatives who prioritize people over profit.
