It was almost (almost ) worth leaving the spam post unreported, as it added to the surreality of the whole thing.

But tedious old prissy me had to go and triangle it.

Well, Dobby certainly wasn't offering any TRAVEL information, so it makes sense to send him to the Lounge.

Wonder if he will even notice. But given the lack of anything travel related, guess it makes some sense.

Maybe in this case Malta could be a kind of pergatory. Behave and escape. I've tried to be good and hope to escape tomorrow.

He/she would expect a free pass on the bus or whatever and then complain about the lack of ac or something...

Dobby is either a turtle or the goblin creature in Harry Potter that Harry sets free with an item of clothing. Hence the phrase, "Give Dobby a sock".

Maybe the Dobby who wasn't talking about travel should have posted a non-trip report.

Grazie, MmePerdu.

I hope that you find the romans "piu simpatici" than the Maltese.
