Hmmmmm... far be it from me to disagree with Noneck, but my understanding of 'minty' can be translated into the more modern word of 'minging'.. although as you are spelling the word with a capital letter ie 'Minty'.. do you mean the nick name for the bloke on Eastenders.... if you do, they call him 'Minty' cos he is a lazy git who loves his bed and you cant get him to work till 'after eight' ..hence 'Minty'...geddit?... not a lot of people know that.. blimey, thats a quote from a film! I'll go now I seem to be rambling on a bit :o)
