Whether you read this page to catch up on the important news stories four days after they break, or to laugh over hilarious "telephone/upcoming marriage"-based puns, today's entry is going to please you greatly. For, indeed, I tried to call Anthony the other day, but he was engaged. He must just given Becca a ring.
I've run out of puns along those lines (She's got his number? He's a smooth operator? I tried to dial Tone? Nope, these aren't working) so in case it wasn't obvious, I'll cut to the chase. My good friend Ant has got down on one knee and is now engaged to the lovely Becca, who clearly decided that his manifest charms more than made up for his incessant Gary Lineker anecdotes. Many hefty congratulations to them both. Now, I haven't had a chance to speak to Ant yet, and have seen no footage of the momentous occasion, so I can only provide you with this artist's impression:I may have missed some of the finer detail, but I think we can agree that all the basic elements are there. Well, the outcome at least is beyond doubt.
I've mused before on this page on my various adventures with Ant, so I won't embarrass either of us by repeating what a lovely chap he is, but - as Becca has, to her great credit, noticed - he is. I look forward to getting to know Becca better (hey, that rhymes! No, wait, it doesn't. Carry on), but my short acquaintance with her already includes her hitting Ant in the head with a stone. This naturally recommends her greatly to any right-thinking man, not least for the accuracy of her aim. Thinking about it, I'm not entirely confident it wasn't actually I who threw the stone, though that could be wishful thinking...
Anyways, before I become yet crueller, I am sure you will join me in wishing them all the best, and I am sure you similarly look forward to the wedding. Though I'm more likely to be invited than some of you are... remember, they can't legally keep you out. It's what I trusting to if Ant gets truly sick of my small-head gags.
