If you’re a guy in Ireland, you might spend the day hiding out in a peat bog or public house, trying to avoid an earnest lass down on one knee with a ring in her hand and a proposal on her lips.

If you’re in Canadaland, you might be watching a movie about a guy in Ireland…

If you’re in a European country and a fella refusing an earnest lass down on one knee with a ring in her hand and a proposal on her lips, you could find yourself buying her 12 pairs of gloves as a penalty. Oops!

If you’re anywhere in the world and so inclined, you could be making a Leap baby. No. Wait. You had to be doing — cough — that 9 months ago. Ahem. You could practice. You didn’t hear that from me. Nope.

It’s an extra 24 hours.

How will you spend it?

I’m going to get some extra words in.

After that, I may just head on down to the public house and have a Guinness. See if I can spot an earnest lass, down on one knee…

Run, fella, run!
