STILL LOOKING FOR LOVE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

A 78-YEAR-old Egyptian music agent said on Tuesday he wanted a mention in the Guinness book of world records for having married 203 times. Mustafa Semeda, an agent for traditional Egyptian bands in Cairo, told journalists he first got married in 1947 and has since then been married to another 202 women, most of them dancers and singers, who he has since divorced. The father of only three children, he said he was still looking for love after his latest wife left him. – AFP
