Tweet Surrender

It’s been an eventful week on Twitter. Two rock stars got engaged to each other, someone went to the toilet and one person had their mind blown by a nature documentary. Find out who, what, why and where in this week’s Tweet Surrender…

Thanks, Ginger. Somewhere in Cereal World, Tony the Tiger is nodding quietly to himself.

Not only did Chad organise a private screening of Wayne’s World for Hayley’s birthday, he followed it up by proposing on Christmas Day. It’s either one of the most romantic times of year to pop the question, or Chad felt a pair of socks weren’t going to cut it and had to act. And fast.
