Gurnata qabel ir-referendum ghall-Ewropa, Toni dar fuq Mary u qalla " Mer,
ara li tivvota IVA ghax jekk nidhlu fl-unjoni nsiru nies."

"Halli f'idi Ton." Nsomma, ir-referendum ghadda, dhalna fl-unjoni u Toni
mar xtara zewg containers, mela wiehed bis-saqqijiet u l-iehor bil-qliezet
ta'taht tan-nisa.

"Mer, jien ghall-Italja, ha mmur inbigh dawn iz-zewg containers u narak 4
gimghat ohra."

Nsomma, ghadew l-erba gimghat u Toni wasal lura b'dahqa minn widna sa
widna...."X'ghidtlek Mer, bihejt kollox u f'erba gimghat qlajt LM2000."

"Mela qlajt ghalqa wkoll. Jien f'erba gimghat, b'saqqu wiehed u bla
qalziet ta'taht qlajt LM4000."

mmhh.. lets see.. freeolrolling on the floor laughing

against we go the referendum of Europa - Toni gives a "f..ck so dos Mary since we live at the sea.. and the Iva flushes away .. nothing more to say..

Now says Ton.. what you mean .. the referendum could bring benifits to Toni . but the containers are stuck in the port like they did before ...??? it seem Europe means in Malta to some just more .. as to others
dunno

But being away for Italy only 4 hours its not understandable why we should 7 days old purated vegetables .. at the double of price ???
Insomma .. how is this possible that there the cost is 2000 LM and when it arrives to Malta its allready rotten and costs 4000 LM ??? doh

free stile reading translation .. no legal or otherwise reliable source of knowledge applied .. rolling on the floor laughing

Close but no cigar as the Cardinal said to Monica Lewinsky.

==

A day before the EU referendum, Tony said to Mary “Be sure to vote “Yes” because if we join the EU we will get rich”

“Leave it with me” Mary said. Anyway, the referendum came and went and Malta became part of the EU. Tony went and bought two container loads, one of mattresses and the other of women’s underwear.

He said to Mary “Ok, I’m off to Italy to sell these goods. I’ll see you in four weeks time”

The four weeks passed and Tony came back with a big grin on his face “What did I tell you Mary” he said “I’ve sold everything in four weeks and made two thousand pounds profit”

“So what”, Mary said “In four weeks I made twice as much on one mattress without any underwear”

Thanks for translating it, honestly I can't be bothered now I'm so tired....I know this should be in English so everybody understands, wasn't my intention to make anybody feel left out...just wanted to see how many of us Maltesers would reply to it and was pleased with the outcome...glad I put a smile on some faces...Good night I'm gonna hit the sack now!

LOL! Fortunately for you, no; the Goddess was HUGE, as were all other European depictions of "Mother Earth/ Fertility" etc.
I'm rather astounded at how little is actually known about ancient Malta and your language. I've never heard it spoken; must be fascinating...the book I just finished in called "Europe's Lost Civilization" by Peter Marshall; his sailing trip from the ancient ruins of England, Scotland ,Ireland, Wales, down along the French coast to vies their ruins of megaliths, around Spain to Malta, then the North African coast and their megaliths...what a trip!

Why not? There was a very nice picture of him in a pink tutu. I thought he looked quite fetching in it.

And let's face it, at the zoo elephants throw peanuts at him.
