Dirk, you're performing a vital public service, mate. Broadening music horizons and helping chaps score. Well done. What next? The Middle East?

 

I think this Middle Eastern fella could do with watching either of those videos.

 

An Arab country's ambassador to Dubai has had his marriage contract annulled after discovering the bride was cross-eyed and had facial hair.

 

The woman had worn an Islamic veil, known as the niqab, on the few occasions the couple had met.

 

The envoy, who has not been identified, told a Sharia court her mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of the bride's sister, Gulf News reported.

 

He only discovered the deception when he lifted the woman's veil to kiss her.

 

The court had annulled the marriage contract but rejected a $130,000 (£83,000) compensation claim for gifts he had bought his intended, the report said.

Cheers for the thread Dave (and repped). Love this band. Reminds me of when I was a much younger chimp and of the mates back home I still miss - good memories though. I'm waiting for Rob to catch onto this thread; he loves these and Orbison.

Is right I do mate! As I said the other week, having Harrison and Orbison on the same tunes was sheer poetry. Roy Orbison had a magnificent voice and the Wilburys were a joy to listen to.
