According to tradition, February 29th is the only day a lady can ask a man to marry her. If he turns her down, he must buy her a new dress.

Having said all that, since they have been together, this will be the first Leap Years day to come around. From interviews that have been said, rather than the imagination of ROB, (Sorry ROB), is Helen likely to pop the question ?

I don't know about Helen but I'm off to find Dermot

My imagination Sticks??

I've have you know all my contributions are verbatim transcripts, obtained thanks to the directional microphones I installed on my way back from Koffee Annan's house!

Didnt you read the Star magazine article - according to that Paul has already popped the question so no need for Helen to do it. Dont think she would anyway - she's too traditional.

As for ROB's imagination - many a true word comes from that fertile mind!!!!

[Sticks]

I am not convinced the Star is accurate.

If it were true, it would have been picked up by the other tabloids, which it hasn't.

So it looks like the Star Magazine has jumped the gun, yet again!

Tend to agree with you there Sticks my friend.

Much as I would LOVE to believe it - there were too many 'friends' and 'sources' involved - but most of all - the clincher if you will - was the 'Clinton Cards' thing.

I just can't see Helen picking up the ready packs of wedding invitations from the local Clintons. For a start, they do a personalised online order service - in which case I am betting she would have chosen:

(Romantic Hearts!)

My bet however would be on 'coture invitations', predominantly pink, possibly glitzy, but very, very romantic............

We live in hope. Though if Paul said four years last year that is precisely what he meant. Perhaps he has it in his mind that he isnt getting married before he is 30. Our Helen is very patient with him. Bet though she has secretly started on her plans though and as you said 'shop bought invitations' wouldnt be her style. Nothing but the best for that wedding. so when Paul actually does the deed, she will produce this huge file for him to agree to

im very sceptical about this engagement

it would surely have gotten a mention in heat?
