Not the most exciting shot I know, but this seemed to say something to me about Malta and its relationship to Britain. That great British 'game' of Bingo being played at a 'Bocci' Club, some kind of Maltese Sport involving a small hard court and I'm guessing a small ball.
PS just looked it up on Wikipedia for those interested :
"Bocce (or Bocci, or Boccie) is a precision sport belonging to the boules sport family, closely related to bowls and pétanque with a common ancestry from ancient games played in the Roman Empire. Developed into its present form in Italy (where it is called Bocce, the plural of the Italian word boccia which means "bowl"), it is played around Europe and also in overseas countries that have received Italian migrants, including Australia, North America and South America (where it is known as bochas; "bolas criollas" in Venezuela), initially amongst the migrants themselves but slowly becoming more popular with their descendants and the wider community. The game is also well-known in Serbia as boćanje (боћање) and in Croatia as boćanje, bućanje, or balote, depending on the region. In France the sport is known as Boule Lyonnaise."

I took a series of number plate shots for each State I visited on my travels around the USA. I like this one as the message seems slightly at odds with the dishevelled appearance.

"It's the charity with the very odd name, the Sick & Indigent Roomkeepers' Society, but in fact it's the oldest charity in Dublin, still helping the sick and the destitute in the inner city. It was founded in 1790 by a group of eleven concerned citizens, all of whom came from what might be politely called the middle class of society." Source : Hugh Oram, The Irish Times
