What do Katie Price and a Camel have in common?......Each time you look the humps have changed

I have just got back from a great trip to Jordan and during my time in the dessert the age old question popped into my head "What came first the country or the model?" We all know all the details about the model - she is has all the attributes (typo in google images - should have been D cups) to make her a house hold name. The country is a little known middle eastern landmass with no substantial history or significance.


The conclusion is obvious - The country was named after the model.

My next questions were does Jordan deserve to have a country named after her and did they give her an appropriate country?

As I have been out of the country I have not checked the New Years honour list but I make the assumption the Jordan is now officially Dame Katie Price and rightly so!!!! Apart from walk on the moon there is nothing that she has not attempted, including applying for eurovision and to trying to ride in the London Olympics. I for one tip my hat to the lady, where else has someone with so little talent become so famous (Mike Tindall and Monty Panasar being the only major contenders)?

With this evidence some people may ask why does she only have one country named after her?

My personal option is that life could get a little confussing if multiple countries were called the same thing. ->


The county of Jordan could not better reflect Jordan the model. It has a couple of sizable mountains, orangy-brown in colour, very easy to get into and produces many multiracial citizens.

Just to let you know, Sugar and I have just been to Jordan for a week. We had 4 days of walking around the dessert (Wadi Rum) and Petra, which helped break in the hiking boots and get the blood flowing to the legs. Some pictures of our trip are down the side. As a destination it was really good and i could really recommend it. However after 3 meals a day for 7 days you will be unlikely to see me walking around Salisbury's with Pita bread in my shopping basket.

You may also be wondering what you do in Jordan on New Years Eve, well it turns out that what seems to happen is that the Bedouin tent that you are staying in has the roof collapse at 5 minutes to midnight, resulting in being evacuated from the dessert and staying in the office of a restaurant. Sounds a little different but it certainly was entertaining.

Thank you come again.
