A match made in Heaven

The new edition of Hello! magazine, that weekly glossy gush, has sold out in hundreds of newsagents. What has caused the frenzy? Pictures of a svelte British princess posing doe-eyed in exile?

Nope. The answer is the marriage pictures of one fat Englishman, known for his tendency to tears and his execrable taste in clothes. Yes, Gazza's wedding.

But now comes the interesting part: we learn that the people scurrying in to buy the magazine have been largely ... male. Men are sneaking home with Hello! and a large box of tissues to gaze at romantic wedding pictures. Could it be that Gazza is going to teach the British male to blub?
