Alternate Guinness Book of Records... Men
Men Expletives:
On 9th June 1996, Mr. Harold Brayson (GB) struck his thumb with a stonemason's
mallet whilst breaking concrete in his back yard in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
He went on to swear for 14min 7sec without stopping once or repeating
a swear word. He later attempted to better this feat on BBC TV's Record
Breakers programme by dropping a car battery on his foot. It ended in
failure when he repeated the word 'bastard' after 12mins 58secs.
Holiday Gymnastics:
The greatest number of press-ups done in front of some girls on a beach
is 6 by Wayne Fletcher (GB) whilst on holiday in San Antonio, Ibiza on
19th August 1988. The girls went off with a waiter.
Car Customisation:
Judged as a proportion of the overall value of the car, the accessories
fitted to the Mark 2 Escort of Wayne Fletcher (GB) add up to the world's
most expensive car customisation project at 105761%. Between 8th March
1986 and 22nd September 1996, Fletcher has spent a grand total of 63,456.99
at the Stockport branch of Halfords in attempt to attract girls to his
vehicle. His fruitless purchases include a Paddy Hopkirk Full Body Styling
Kit (3500), 'Nightrider' style Disco Stop Lights (199), Split 45 Weber
Carburettors x4 (200), Scorpion Talking Alarm, (500) and a Chromium plated
Mock Twin Exhaust Extension (285). The car is currently valued at 50 to
60.
Beer Drinking:
The greatest amount of beer drunk before going to the lavatory was 25.5
litres (45 pints) of assorted weak lagers, by Mr. George Wingfield (GB)
downed in various pubs in Knutsford, Cheshire between 12:15pm and 2:38pm
on 22nd December 1986.
Urinating:
The longest urination delivered at one continuous scoot was one of 36
mins 24secs by Mr George Wingfield (GB) in the doorway of a newsagent's
shop in Knutsford High Street on 22nd December 1986. Mr Wingfield was
arrested and charged with a public order offence 17 mins into his record
attempt, but arresting officers had to wait a further 19mins 24sec before
taking him back to the station, where he reputedly broke the world falling
downstairs' record. However, this could not be substantiated because there
were apparently no witnesses.
Hottest Curry Eaten:
Many claims are made about the ferocity of curries eaten, but in the main
they are difficult to substantiate. The hottest verifiable curry eaten
was a XXX Hot Chicken Murg Phaal with extra chillies consumed by George
Wingfield (GB) at the Bengal Tiger Restaurant, Knutsford on 23rd December
1986. The curry was reportedly so hot that between kitchen and table it
spontaneously burst into flames, singeing the waiter's eyebrows.
