Was that necessary? I mean pissing up a tree. And if he had to do that why not off a cliff-edge.
Now that could have been much more humourous.
Maybe because the wind would have sprayed the piss right back in his face?

Makes one wince. How pointless. What a waste of time and money. Verament pajjiz tal-fqar, as Joseph Muscat would have us believe.
Very aptly the opening sequence shows a number of goats.
One thing is for sure, that is one no-good plumber. Brand new, shiny, obviously unused tool kit made up exclusively of socket wrenches that have no place in a plumber’s kit. No pictures of naked women on the inside of the lid, the presence of which is a guarantee of professionalism.
‘Mends’ what is obviously a perfectly good hand-shower using black electrical insulating tape that was never even in the toolbox when he came in.
Then he spends ages pumping away at something [one wonders what] concealed behind the washhand basin to the endless fascination of the girl hairdresser.
More fascinating still is how he managed to use a socket wrench to fix the cup and liner end of the flexible water-pipe to the end of the hand-shower, when only an open-ended ordinary or shifting type spanner can be physically applied to that type of job.
One also wonders why the girl in one of the scenes is wearing a wedding ring, while the boy in another scene also wears a wedding ring. How do those fit into a pre-wedding video?
Mulej, taf x’ghandek taghmel.
The best one-second segment is the flight of a honey buzzard; the other eleven minutes + are sheer “hamallagni”.
Mulej, hudni.
I really cannot understand this angst about anything which does not happen to fit in with you particular notion of what is right and wrong.
And I am not joking or trying to be sarcastic.
[Daphne – Martin, try to get yourself a sex life. Silvio Parnis might have some tips for you. I wouldn’t bother with Joseph.]
By the way – she IS young and good-looking,isn’t she? You betray yourself every time.
[Daphne – No, Martin, it’s you who betrays yourself every time, by projecting your own problems onto others. I know it’s hard living in a world of young, good-looking men, particularly given that you sound like you were never attractive to women yourself. But try to put a lid on it because you’re really tedious and making yourself even less attractive. Here’s a tip, Martin: even the ugliest man can pull women if he develops wit and a sense of humour. And in answwer to your question: yes, she’s young. But she’s certainly not good-looking. She’s plain.]
I can vouch for what Daphne is saying Martin. Suffice to say that at one point people were walking up to me and addressing me as “Dott” before realizing that I wasn’t Pawlu Lia.
The ultimate fantasy: running off with the plumber. U dak il-qalziet abjad miggieled minn mal-eghkiesi xi jrid ighid bih? Jaqq.
[Daphne – No, this is the really interesting bit: he had a truck outside, but still they had to run along the road and steal a car. And for what? It’s not like the irate salon owner was chasing them, or they could get away in….Gozo.]
I thought about the truck too and the hairdresser’s car. All the time I kept thinking that the girlfriend was the salon owner, since the owner only featured when chasing them out.
When we got married eleven years ago, the videographer thought us to be out of this world when we said an outright NO to his suggestion of a pre-wedding video.
He kept saying that it was included in the price and tried to convince us by showing us a ten-minute teaser, but this made us run miles away from the idea.
She had a car parked outside as well – remember the opening scenes. Quite a fancy car, too, for a junior hairdresser, although the number-plate does give the game away.
Daphne jahasra, you haven’t understood the plot. And that’s not a truck it’s a Toyota Hilux (better known as il-Hajlakx or Toyota tal-Kaxxa).
[Daphne – Sorry, I broke into American there for a minute: that would be a truck. And in British English, I suppose, a pick-up (truck).]
Il-Hajlakx was in a great parking space outside the shop, presumably in Victoria, one without the need of ‘l-arlogg’.
You have a better chance of finding the girl of your dreams than finding a parking-space there, I can assure you.
So, you understand, how could the guy leave the parking-space when there was a car in the middle of the road up for grabs?
Talking of Toyota Hajlakx. There’s a woman who’s claiming that their Toyota LATEX was stolen. It took me a while to realise that she meant “Litace”. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=393692157335529&set=a.393692140668864.87985.100000842458960&type=3&theater
Why is there a no parking sign on the door of the hair salon?
Why all that grimacing while doing the business? Has he got kidney stones?
At A.Charles – that is a sea gull not a honey buzzard.
Dear Aldo, I saw it again and you are right. Thanks for the correction.
The plumber is a policeman at the notorious Qawra police station.
And what about the beer masquerading as champagne poured out of a screw top wine bottle?
Oh, and another fake plumber give-away: no plumber’s bottom. The guy is completely useless.
These are some of my observations.
1) I’m surprised that the plumber got only one woman (doesn’t the mother/sitter walk in on them or something?).
2) Why are they sniffing that cactus flower. It has no smell at all. Maybe it’s a way of getting high? That’s why they start jumping about afterwards.
3) All salon owners should employ old men to do the sweeping: brings in more chicks.
4) After watching this video over and over, I have finally decided what political party they usually vote for.
Truly hilarious! The best part of the video is at 9″10′ when he cracked open the cork and found himself at a loss where he was going to pour the sparkling wine.
The man doing the sweeping is the bride’s father and the woman doing the hair is the groom’s mother. At least the natural scenes in Gozo are amazing.
Please do not get the impression that all Gozitans are this stupid.
[Daphne – That’s all right. Don’t worry. God forbid you should think that all Maltese are Labour voters.]
“Please do not get the impression that all Gozitans are this stupid.”
U ma tarax.
I love how it all starts to Shaggy’s ‘Hey sexy lady’ and right on cue in walks the sexy lady herself, straight into her garage/hair salon only to meet the love of her life – a plumber who, when given the right car, turns into a stuntman yet still manages to keep his softer side as he gently blows some flower petals into her face.
Why can’t we see the video?
What is the password to watch this video please? From my phone it is asking me for a password.
[Daphne – They’ve been blocked by the company which uploaded them. Too many people were laughing at them, it seems. The publicity attempt sort of backfired.]
Daph, next time please download them and host on your site.. Can’t see the vids and it’s driving me crazy.
Pessimism, negativity and jealousy are number one in Malta.
Anyone remember their names?
