    I sincerely hope this is not an Air Malta advert …..

    Why must the sub-titles be full of mistakes?
    2:03 Save instead of safe.
    2:15 Live instead of life
    2:22 ditto
    2.00 Remover instead of remove and save instead of safe
    2:20 Live instead of life
    2:36 Hart instead of heart
    3:06 Than instead of then
    3:45 There instead of their

    The farmer actually pronouces the words properly yet they are written badly!

    Jason has potatoes in his blood, too.

  5. P Shaw says:

    Somebody should politely inform the potato chairman that V-18 refers to the capital city and not to a V-18 engine that will be installed in the new gas power station. The latter role belongs to a fellow potato, Konrad Mizzi.

    Malta the isle of the potato farmer and the potato eater, led by potato heads and so well cultured in the potato subject that they were depicted by Van Gogh in his potato eaters back in 1885.

    Viva il patata.

    Where’s the coffee filled Thermos flask ?

  8. Paul says:

    How Airmalta could endorse such a badly written script is beyond belief. The subtitles are even worse. Tal-biki.

  9. Toni says:

    Dan tal-misthijja kollu kemm hu.

  10. Edward says:

    Personally I find it endearing and sweet. A man talking passionately about what he does. Good on him.

  11. freefalling says:

    and the fun has only just started – what he forgot to mention are the cabbages in government

  12. Rumplestiltsken says:

    Why can’t we get basic spelling correct? Pathetic!

  13. L. Gatt says:

    Potatoes in my blood? My life it’s Potato. Demmi patata, hajti patata. Jien patata !

  14. r pace bonello says:

    Please tell me this is a joke.

    The young farmer forgot to tell us that the potatoes for the Maltese market are covered in soil.

  15. xmun says:

    I for one cannot understand what the fuss is all about. We are listening to a young farmer talking passionately about his job and produce.

    For a man who spends all day in the field, his English is much better than a good number of students who spend all day in class.

    • gil says:

      I agree. It is just good to see someone actually DOING something out there. Most jobs seem to be invented untangible ‘intiligint’ nonsense these days. Good on you sir and keep it up.

  16. General says:

    What’s the problem with this vid? All I see is a young man talking passionately about his job and his produce. How many of you have contributed something to society as much as this man has?

    This country was founded on agriculture more than 5,000 years BC. We should be proud.

    Also, his English is much better than some of the people I know that attend university.

  17. U Le! says:

    I miss my old Mr Potato Head.

  18. Victor says:

    Please, please tell me this is a joke!

    Please don’t say that this video is being shown outside of Malta as some kind of promotion!

    The English in the sub-titles is horrendous. Certain descriptions are ridiculous.

    Do we HAVE to make asses of ourselves with the rest of the world?
