Engaged

Posted on July 21, 2006 by Tim Newman

My life is changing rapidly.

Last night my girlfriend Yulia and I got engaged. The smart money was on a throw-back, but the promise of a glamorous lifestyle in Sakhalin won her over. Now all I have to do is buy a ring, but I’m fast running out of kidneys.

Tim & Yulia

Seriously, I couldn’t be happier.

UPDATE

Ring purchased, now scouring eBay for dialysis machines.

Congratulations!

But I believe, at a joyous moment like this, that it is important to remember that you will need someone to record the precious moments of your wedding with sensitivity and discretion—ideally in the timeless medium of film…

Congratulations Tim,

Now you have someone to share your adventures with. The both of you will be talking about Sakhalin for the rest of your lives. “Who Dares Wins”.

Oops! Sadly not…white gold, I’m afraid.

So long as the future Mrs N is happy. That’s all that counts.

By the way real men don’t need dialysis – they just strain the blood through an old sock.
