hotdlp Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 high-school....sice when??? I agree about the Lebanon thing. And it's actually called secondary school in the UK, but I guess the term high school is used more often. Exactly they could have invented some stuff and that it's not nice from them And that's why the MFC comes in handy Someone should make a checklist of all those facts and ask him if what ones are true or not e.g. 'Mika is your real name Michael Holbrook Penniman?' Yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katydid1994 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Some people are only allergic to shell fish. Such a complex man, but what complexes the most, do you eat fish or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posterofagirl Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 He can't be allergic for seafood after reading his blog where he said that he eat almost the whole sea empty. I don't know it this is said before; sorry if it is. Some things are just nonsense The article could be wrong, after all, it was for so many other things. Or they wrote a whole load of crap I don't believe half the stuff they wrote there. LOL, yeah, if you are from the MFC you know better than to believe this, we here know so many REAL things about Mika that could be considered as "secrets" to non Mika fans. To us, it's just routine! LOL!!! I really don't bite theese....I'm sorry, but I don't think Lebanon is in Europe...how could he represent a country out of Europe at eurovision. As far as I know not even Italy parcipates.... rock opera???? I can imagine that.... high-school....sice when??? and yeah the rest of them.....were all new to me ...50 secrets.... LOL, you made me realize I wrote km instead of kg! I will correct that now! Exactly they could have invented some stuff and that it's not nice from them I know! This is supposed to be a serious magazine, or at least it should be! It's crazy how their research can be so inaccurate. I agree about the Lebanon thing. And it's actually called secondary school in the UK, but I guess the term high school is used more often. And that's why the MFC comes in handy Someone should make a checklist of all those facts and ask him if what ones are true or not e.g. 'Mika is your real name Michael Holbrook Penniman?' Yeah right The high school thing might have to do with the translation, I am from Canada (So is the article) and we would call that High School here.
