Following Ava's enlightening , what have you done that no one else has thread, I wondered if anyone on here has held , or involved in any Guinness book of records attempts. ( of any type)

If not, what record would you think you would have your best shot at attempting?
( personal sexual records don't count)

Not me but my climbing partner. He is the first Englishman to both sail and row solo across the Atlantic.

My own record attempt? The number of unlikely places to skin a fag up? Impressive list inc all the welsh 3000's, inn pinn, most peak/lake/wales belays, sat on adam/eve, deep underground in rosydd...
I may have to start smoking again to make this a reality though.
In reply to wilkie14c: I was part of the team that built the world's largest atomically correct model of DNA, which was recognised by the GBR. There was a certificate and everything.

Your right, we need a photo

Was involved in the record for most people juggling at once. There were about 3,000 or so of us attending the European Juggling and Circus Skills Conference.

I think Chris the Tall may well have been in for being one of the singers on John Otway's version of one of Bob Dylans songs, can't remember which, that was in for having the most backing singers on any pop record hit (I think it was the B side). No doubt CTT will correct my memory of this.

I wasn't involved but the school I went to had the record for the tallest tomato plant.

In reply to Jim C:

squat, bench press , dead lift and overall totals for one of the lower body weight classes. lost a hell of a lot of weight unplanned and then realised if i could regain the strength without gaining the weight back. hardest bit will be seeing if i can keep my bodyweight low enough

I drink in the same boozer as the bloke who holds the Guinness record for the fastest London Marathon dressed as a baby. He also plays Bob Hope, on Emmerdale, in his spare time.

Is this turning into a Radio 2 'Top Tenuous'?


Now that would be interesting. If you have not been a record breaker, what is your most tenuous link to a record breaker?

I'd say that the tomato plant is in the number one slot.

Drew Haigh (dirtbag1) was a past participant

I wouldn't be at all surprised if mike Lates holds the record for the most inn pinn accents?

"After 3,000 miles of pain and suffering, a naked young man from Surrey has become the fastest man to row across the Atlantic on his own."

This is what life is like out there:

There are quite a few that have done the row, Indian ocean is popular too. Remember the girl who'd ran out of food on the last few days of the Indian ocean row a few years back? Wind was pushing her back constantly but she made it in the end. IIRC that was the sister boat of Dave Clarke's
Its not for me that game!

On a big walk, several weeks after part of a mouthful of noodles went 'the wrong way', I sneezed and finally disloged them from my nasal cavity.

So I claim to have played host to the noodle with the most munro ascents.

You can only claim that if you still have the noodle

That's very odd, I was going to say exactly the same thing. Who are you, then?

I love a happy ending, I have brought two long lost record breakers together by my thread.

( how big is this model anyway ?)

Both of you have links that give good images of one another , and one has a named Flickr account.

He must have been flushed with success.

How did he cope with the weight of running in it? did he have a cistern?

He must have phoned that number on the wall that promises you a good time when you go in a public toilet.

I was part of the world's largest pillow fight. I think the record only stood for around 3 months though.

I've done less than 12 hours on 2 occasions (maybe 3, I've lost count).
