That’s precisely what happened close to Mater Dei this week, leaving a fair amount of drivers equally frustrated and disoriented as a car with a foreign number plate began to approach their vehicle.

After noticing that they are in fact in the wrong lane, the car began to reverse outside the tunnel going into (or out of) Mater Dei hospital. The driver could not simply go to the other lane as the road was separated by bollards.

Thankfully, no injuries or damages were registered during this slight mishap.

Jacqueline Backman messaged The Malta Police Force to express her heartfelt gratitude after fireworks scared her dog, causing it to rush away and fall 8 metres off a wall into a ditch.

Backman revealed that the dog was not unconscious but out of reach; after contacting Animal Welfare who, as she said, wiped their hands clean and said “they don’t have a ladder”, she contacted the police.

Within moments, police and CPD officers were on site and recovered the dog, which sustained minor injuries. A persistent police constable and a number of other officials were praised for their efforts, called ‘truly a special breed of human’.

Kudos to the Malta Police Force.

Stranger Things 4 sets jaw-dropping all-time streaming record

Jul 3 2022

If we’re talking hit series, Stranger Things has been on the forefront since it debuted on Netflix but as the entertainment industry expands, the supernatural spectacle continues to reap the benefits, setting a jaw-dropping record with its fourth season.

The hit show registered an astounding 7.2 billion minutes of viewing time between 30 May and 5 June, American information company Nielsen revealed. What is truly remarkable about this data is that Nielsen’s data never surpassed the six billion mark in one week, let alone seven billion.

Past highs included lockdown hits like Tiger King and dark horse epic Ozark, which gained over five billion minutes of watch time. Despite the success of multiple other series, Stranger Things swept clean in terms of accolades, becoming Netflix’s most viewed English language TV season in one week and the first to reach streaming number one in 83 countries.
