What should men wear to ensure they receive a leap year marriage proposal?
Tradition has it that every four years on 29 February, women are permitted to propose to their partners. Poet and professor of modern literature at Trinity College Dublin Brendan Kennelly explains why Queen Victoria asked Prince Albert to marry her on leap day. Broadcaster Pat O'Mahony questions the health of any woman asking for his hand in marriage on 29 February.
If men want their partners to pop the question, they need to look good. Broadcaster Brenda Donohue gives some pointers on fashion turn offs for women. In her opinion, the outfit a man wears must be enticing enough for a woman to look at him and think,
God I can see myself sitting beside him on a couch in 50 years time.
Brenda Donohue suggests men opt for a chunky, casual and caring look encapsulated in an autumnal-coloured woollen jumper or a grandfather shirt.
Dustin the Turkey would love to receive a proposal of marriage from Canadian actress Pamela Anderson on 29 February. To attract her, he would wear his best shell suit and Hai Karate aftershave.
