#2 Damn, sorry I missed that reception. Add some RPG's and AK's firing in the air and it would've had everything...

#9 The sorry tale was recounted at Manchester Crown Court...

I'm guessin' Night Court. I'm sure the judge appreciated the amusing tale of woe.

#10 I'm planning on visiting the Neville Chamberlain Monument on my next trip to the UK.

Apparently the people of Birmingham (England) do actually have a Neville Chamberlain sculpture hidden away: details here. It was unveiled in 1937, 22 years after he'd been elected Lord Mayor of the city. I don't recall ever seeing one of him in London. There are plenty of monuments to Churchill around, natch.

I'm guessin' Night Court.

I don't think we have night courts (I could be wrong -there may possibly be some in the biggest cities, like Manchester). Most likely he spent the night in the cells cooling off and was dragged up before Hizonna in the morning.

#12 23-year-old McKie

40-year-old Anderson

There's more to this story that hasn't been reported . . . . . .

#13 Just a dang minute here:
...23-year-old McKie... That's the groom.
...40-year-old Anderson... That's the bride.
Hmmm.

"They had only been together for two or three months before the wedding," McKie's father told the Daily Mirror newspaper. "It was a big mistake."

No kidding.

#14 I think the Church of the SubGenius has been offering 60-minute marriages for a long time. Also known as "ShortDurMars".

#15 Aren't short (or temporary) marriages common in Islam? In order to make rapes legal?
