Everyone in Luxor is all excited about the marriage of Naomi Campbell in Luxor temple but if you go on the British Embassy website for Egypt it gives you the rules and regulations for marriage of a British national in Egypt. The red tape is amazing and the final act takes place is a soulless office in the middle of Cairo, not in a Pharaonic temple in Luxor. So what is the legality of her marriage? Could she end up like Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall who went through a romantic wedding ceremony in Bali and then found out it had no validity? Well according to the Embassy website her marriage is not legal. I wonder who in her entourage checked this.

Nope I am lucky I am not.

There is no such thing as "orfi" in the USofA, had to get married legally.

---

'had to' being the right words But in Egypt according to you, a real and valid marriage is only at the MOJ in Cairo, so Naomi is doing Orfi in Luxor

Did you just get off the felluca?

MOJ if you are marrying an Egyptian.

Embassy if you are marrying a khawagaa.

Orfi's don't get out much do they?

---

Ahh yes you're right.
Still stands though as the Embassy isn't in Luxor. She's doing an orfi

Metinoot, as you will see, there are quite a number of Shires in the UK. To simplify it, it's a little like the affixation of 'a' or 'ia' on the end of your states.

I guess it's a fairly safe assumption that I come from a Shire, seeing as though the majority of our counties are described that way. As it happens, I don't, but really to describe Shires as hobbitsville is about as ridiculous as describing your equivalent in the same way.

That's your geography lesson over for today, Sono. Or did you leave the building a little while ago?

That Shires list is actually a lil incorrect Monkey as we are no longer part of a Shire, we are a Metropolitan County. We are quite often called the Black Country. We moved over in 1974...

We have a population of 174,944 according to the last census and we still have a weekly operating market that first began in 1220.

Man, my town is really interesting. Full of history

Basically, I too am not a Hobbit

Ooh, I say. A Metropolitan County, eh? Hark at her, posh mare
