Walking around Vittoriosa (or Birgu, to use the Maltese name) yesterday, I saw this government notice posted on a door, stating that it is “URGENT”.
Taking a step back, neither the door, nor the house, nor the street actually oozed any sense of urgency. Quite the contrary.
Probably it wasn’t that urgent after all. The notice had been there for two months already.
Remember this quiet alley in Malta when someone tries to rush you with the pretended urgency of something.
The notice was probably from the Construction Inspector’s Office. Since they are posting it about 200 (500?) years late, “urgent” is a relative term.
