One for the Doh! file: Lefkos Hajji, a floor-fitter in London, recently chose a novel way to ask his girlfriend to marry him: she would literally pop the question, popping a balloon to find a diamond engagement ring inside. Seemed like a great idea until a gust of wind swept away the £6000 ($12,000) ring as Hajji left the florist where got the balloon. He searched for two hours but had no luck finding the balloon or the ring. And his girlfriend was unimpressed, refusing to speak to him until he gets another ring. Was he unlucky? Stupid? Romantic? It was a lovely expression of love, but perhaps he should try something a bit more conventional with his next ring.
