Is it possible you saw these?

I think you saw sail jellyfish guys, last time i went with my friend we saw about 300 all in one spot under the cliffs.
Its almost impossible to see portughese man of war because they dont live in a climate like malta.
Bigboy since you saw more than 1 im assuming they are sail jellfish because man of war its very impossible to see 1 let alone loads

Hej lapsiboy you have a very strange sense of humor, bit since we know you well, let's leave it like that.
I am really good fun guys, but never take me forgranted. Many know me very different at work.

As regards this post I have pictures of it, that we have taken, and it is the portughese 100%. When baghira says so, it has to be as he said for sure. But giving the importance of the picture, I will not post it here until the photographer has made good use of it...... ;)

nahseb shabek ix xjentisti lapsi biex ibieghu il bigilla tajbin. mhux xjentisti tal gvern malti hux ghax probabli dawk manipulati ta habba t turizmu.....

u anke barranin fl ewropa serrah rasek, id differenza li dawk jiehdu bl oghli

kemm fadallek x titghallem lapsi.... ara l pandemija (swine flu) kemm qed taghmel ghageb il media(xejn!) fuq xi haga serja, imma kulhadd jista jsiefier u jxerred, ghala? ghax l ekonomija batuta u minajr turizmu tmut... Simple

Translation

I think the scientists reports you are mentioning lapsi, those scientists they are dorks. Could it be that they are maltese scientist with manipulated results for the sake of tourism?, dear lapsi boy.

you have a lot to learn how bureaucracy and the information in the real world works lapsi, see the swine flu, such a serious problem but still everyone can go abroad, transfer himself, why?

Another aspect
Why there was a famous american scientist who denied the fact of green house effect to emissions???

BECAUSE WITHOUT TOURISM THE ECONOMY FAILS, AND IN AN OPEN COUNTRY LIKE MALTA, WE CAN'T JUST LIVE WITHOUT TOURISM.

lapsi i suggest you start learning to think more with your mind and not take everything you read that is written professionally as true

They are an ongoing problem in Mallorca & the latitude is very similar to that of Malta I see no reason why they shouldn't be there, so make sure you take a bottle of white vinegar with you when you go swimming/diving its the best way to take the pain out of the stings! ;)
