No, its my man meat, have to tuck it away to save it continually banging my knees. :up
While researching something completely different I stumbled upon this report from February 2000. I have only skimmed it so far, but it is interesting to see how the plans made 15 years ago have...

Just figured out Why I like living here, it's taken me rather a longtime to come-up with an answer.
Just did a search on L4U but couldn't find the post 'why I love luxor'

Another example of a society focusing on trivia.....whilst ignoring the surrounding mayhem.
Someone should tell them to stop hanging around in Cairo nightclubs and get down to Luxor which we're told...

When I'm visiting the sites of Luxor, where I'm recognised as a frequent visitor with some knowledge, the guardians etc. usually refer to me as 'doctor'.....quite flattering really :lol:
Temple priests in many countries used to watch the sky at night for the first sighting of a new moon. I was at the temple of Stella this evening. The New Moon was less than 31 hours old shortly after...
For those concerned at the small eclipse in Egypt today I recommend a total eclipse of the sun in just over 12 years time. Luxor is very close to the centre of the path of totality, and the eclipse...
There will be a very very small partial eclipse of the sun here from about 1130 to 1156 on this day. It is extremely unlikely that you will notice...
