Guinnes Book Of World Records

Here I am deep in work avoidance mode and spotted a news item on msn about how the lady whose nails are (or rather, were) officially the longest in the world has lost them in a car crash. Click here to read it in glorious technicolour! The lady's condition is described as 'serious but not life threatening' by the way.

 

It led me to wonder if I was in the Guiness Book of World Records, which record would I break? Which led me to think about which records some Forum members might hold.

 

  • longest single sentence in a post?
  • most smileys in a single post?
  • longest time in chat?
  • most mentions of a well-known supermarket?
  • most encyclopaedic knowledge of flora or fauna?
  • quickest birthday goblin in the west?

 

So anyway, I digress. What world record would you like to break and why?

I have been in the Guinness Book of Records already, so that is a bit old hat for me. :o I was involved in the Worlds Longest Conga Line, but that record has since been smashed several times. For a while it was still down as the British record but have no idea if that is still the case. xD

 

When I was about 8 or 9 I decided to go for the Worlds Longest Daisy Chain record. I spent all day doing it and it stretched all the way along the pavement in front of our house. At night I carefully carried it into our garage for safe keeping. Of course, when I got up the next day and fetched it to continue it had dried out and the whole lot fell apart. :(

On Brownie holiday a few years ago there was a sleepover for some charity or other (you can tell I was listening at that briefing meeting can't you?) which involved everyone around the country taking part in a world record attempt for the most people brushing their teeth at the same time.

 

Not as interesting as a daisy chain, but its a start! :o

What makes you think I was referring to you Peggy? :(

 

Surely you're not going to take it lying down though: don't you want to mount a record breaking attempt to take away his title? xD

Sorry to hear you're still not fighting fit Peggy. Is there a world record for the most snotty tissues generated in a single day? xD

 

Get well soon!

World record for possibly the most coughs in any one night, why is it the coughing starts just as I lay my head down to sleep?. :wacko: and I can't even console myself with a 'medicinal' Hot Toddy' (oh I am feeling sorry for myself :(xD )

 

and today Hubby has the first signs of not the cold bug but OH NO, MAN FLU :o:( .
