Plans for a grand exhibition of the teenage pharaoh’s treasures at the venue have been thrown into doubt because Egyptian officials will not allow the artefacts to be displayed next to a proposed casino... “If there is a casino in the dome, I will not send the exhibits to London,” declared Zahi Hawass, the secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. “It’s insulting. These Egyptian artefacts have dignity and therefore we should keep this dignity. I will never — [even] if they give us a billion dollars — show an Egyptian exhibit next door to a casino.”

We know what you are Zahi, now we are just haggling over the price...

OK.

No sweat.

There's a couple Spitfires still sitting around, a bunch of guys in tall fur hats, horses, and maybe we can get Boy George to stand in for a couple of sets.

When you realize that Iraq and Saudi Arabia have the oil, Syria and Iran have the missiles, and Egypt has..................

Give us a call and we'll see if the androgynous 'boy king' will fit into the schedule.

Ta!
