We took a picture together (she was pretty excited about that, because I never want to be in pictures), but I took the real photo (the photo of the proposal) earlier that day with my Polaroid 600SE, and shielded the second one (the one we took) with a darkslide in the camera. Than later, when we were sitting at the italian restaurant, I said I wanted to record the developing proces of the photo, so I could secretly record her reaction (youtu.be/bz8oSQgt33M). Than she peeled of the top of the picture and saw the message (I was also holding the ring with shaking hands), and she said yes. So yeah, that happened :) 10-02-14
PS. The head and hands on the photo, I printed on paper, so I was able to take the picture (of myself) myself.
Emanuel typed his proposal in Polish which was then laminated so that Submarine Safaris scuba diver Max could dive down to the Submarine and hold the proposal to the window where Nina was sitting with Emanuel. A surprised Nina read the underwater proposal as Emanuel presented her with an engagement ring. Amid cheers from the other passengers on the submarine Nina said “Yes”.
Plans to develop a Glasgow-wide Metro system are among a number of “bold, ambitious and transformative” proposals put forward by an independent Connectivity Commission to reshape the city’s transport systems in the decades ahead.
Under the “radical” vision, the Glasgow Metro would be a network of high-capacity rapid-transit lines serving as much of the city as possible, with a particular focus on those areas currently poorly served by public transport.
The blueprint from the Glasgow Connectivity Commission also puts forward plans to link the city’s two main stations by a tunnel and explores preparing the city for the HS2 high speed rail services.
The recommendations aim to reconnect left-behind areas to the city described as the engine room of the Scottish economy, and to transform the economic performance of the region to the tune of billions of pounds each year.
The commission, chaired by Professor David Begg, was established by city council leader Susan Aitken in November 2017 and its first report, out last year, explored how the local authority could transform the city centre and reverse a steep decline in bus use.
Its second report now looks at matters outwith the council’s control, namely the road and rail network.
Experts proposed the creation of a Metro network across the city Credit: Connectivity Commission/PA
It found that Glasgow has a good transport network by UK standards, but that it falls “substantially short” compared to some European cities.
“The most glaringly obvious omission from Glasgow’s current transport system is the absence of the kind of comprehensive, modern rapid transit system serving inner urban destinations that just nearly all of Glasgow’s comparator cities have been busy building for the last 30-40 years,” the report stated.
The Commission also found that areas of the city suffering high rates of socio-economic deprivation tend also to have poor transport access to the city centre.
It said the first priority of a strategy to transform the fixed public transport network should be the creation of a comprehensive Glasgow Metro.
“The Glasgow Metro would be a network of high capacity rapid transit lines serving as much of the city as possible so that the fixed transport system plays the fullest possible role in ensuring inclusive growth across the city’s communities, sustaining the international competitiveness of the key employment concentrations in and around the city centre,” the report said.
The Metro could be created from parts of the existing heavy rail network, re-opened sections of dormant infrastructure, wholly new sections of route and on-street tram running, it is proposed.
Officials recommended building a link between Glasgow Airport and Paisley Gilmour Street Station as the first leg of a Metro line that would then be extended to connect Renfrew, Braehead and Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to the city centre – a route described as the south Clyde growth corridor.
This first leg should be completed by 2025 and the importance of the corridor means “it is no longer appropriate to conceive a rail link to the airport as a freestanding project” the report noted.
The Commission found that the separation of the city’s two main railway stations is one of the main barriers to connectivity in the area.
It has recommended connecting Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations by a tunnel, providing 20 trains an hour across the city and transforming rail services across Scotland’s central belt.
“It would be possible to combine the Edinburgh and Ayrshire express services giving the whole of the central belt a world class regional express network making Glasgow city centre unambiguously the most accessible place in Scotland,” the report said.
The experts further recommended redesigning Glasgow Central to accommodate HS2 trains.
This would include extending the station over the Clyde and involve the creation of a new southern concourse.
Other key recommendations in the report included developing plans for bus priority on Glasgow’s motorway network and preparing for the shift to electric and autonomous vehicles by considering new methods of road charging.

To celebrate its 550th anniversary Magdalen College, Oxford has commissioned the Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger to create his first-ever dedicated permanent artwork.
Two years in development, the sculpture Y was unveiled on St Mary Magdalen Day 2008. William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester founded Magdalen College in 1458. It is one of the best-known colleges in the University of Oxford and is known internationally for its high academic standing.
The College has many fine buildings. The Cloisters, Chapel, Founder’s Tower and Hall were built in the Gothic style in the later part of the 15th century. The Great Tower, a pictorial symbol of Oxford, is famous for the May Day event when the College choir sings an ancient hymn at dawn. The Georgian New Buildings, which blend into the College Gardens and grounds, were completed in 1733. The buildings sit amid a hundred acres of lawns, woodlands and riverside walks, which are publicly accessible, and there is a deer herd that has been in existence for over 300 years.
Addison’s Walk, named after the great essayist of the 18th century and father of English journalism, is about a mile in length and goes by the River Cherwell around a great water meadow. Beyond the end of Addison’s Walk is a tranquil field known as Bat Willow Meadow, which is where the new commission is sited. Maps of the grounds of Magdalen College are available from the Porters’ Lodge or they can be downloaded from the Magdalen website.
Over the past twenty years Mark Wallinger has established an international reputation with major solo exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Val-de-Marne, Frankfurt, Aarau, Basel, Milan, New York and Chicago.
His work encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation, and it takes art history, mythology, religion, politics, national identity and popular culture as its subject matter. Wallinger studied at Chelsea School of Art in 2001, and in Goldsmiths' College. He exhibited in Young British Artists II at the Saatchi Collection in 1993 and at the Royal Academy of Art's Sensation exhibition in 1997.
His Time and relative dimensions in space derived from a residency and was shown at Oxford University Museum of Natural History in 2001 and in the same year he represented Britain in the 49th Venice Biennale. The artist is best known for Ecce Homo, a life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ which inaugurated the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999, and State Britain, his 2007 re-creation at Tate Britain of Brian Haw's protest display outside parliament. He was a Turner Prize nominee in 1995 and won the award in 2007, and he is one of five internationally acclaimed artists who have been commissioned to produce proposals for the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project, which will be one of the biggest artworks in the United Kingdom.
As his fiancée approached the finish line of the 2012 Boston Marathon, a man got on one knee in the road in front of the Boston Public Library and proposed to her.
Only a week after meeting him, the princess' heart is rapidly stolen by the charming prince who quickly proposes to her.
