Tifosi: Translated from Italian meaning "fan"

The Tifosi in italy are the Ferrari fanatics who eat, drink, sleep, breath and even **** ferrari!

I class myself as relaxed Tifosi. Only loving all things Ferrari!

AS I love all things MINI I thought well I'm a MINI Tifosi aswell, then I cam up with MINI2fosi!

Hope that clears it up and I thought I was being clever!

Anyway if you class yourself as a Mini2fosi aswell, then maybe you should give Paul a pitance to help the bloke along with paying for this fabulous site we all know and love! (God I sound like Basil

) and maybe if he thinks your pitance is worthy he might make you a mini2fosi aswell!

Thanks for that lesson Damo. The things you learn on MINI2

I just want my status back next to my sponsorship status, that would be enough, surely a Master by now??

P.S. I don't know whether or not to explain the 'time flies like an arrow...' statement at the bottom of my posts or not? or maybe I'll just change it?

I also just worked out that at 500 posts I have payed 4p per post, very reasonable

I prefer the Japanese word 'otaku'.

MINI-otaku

Otaku: Japanese word denoting an obsessive fan of anything, in the sense of being narrow and anti-social.

Sometimes used in the West without derogatory connoitations to refer to a dedicated fan of anime, manga, videogames etc.

DBK.

no No N0 don't change it!!

It's a great statement, very witty, a bit subtle at first but once it "connects" it's quite amusing

I find it funny but not sure if I get the meaning so i think you should explain for my slow dim witted brain

ok you slow dimwit, here we go

the original phrase is 'time flies like an arrow' i.e. Time goes fast.
The last bit refers to those lovely little flying insects (fruit flies

) which do indeed like bananas.

P.s. I'm sure that the fact I needed to explain it means that it shouldn't be on the bottom of my profile.

A backwards poet would write inverse??
