New World Record's Set!

kinetic · Jul 25, 2002, 07:05 AM

The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 19.36 metres (63ft 2in), equivalent to three standard parking spaces, on the 14th July 2002. She started the manoevre at 11.15am and successfully parked within 4ft of the pavement 8 hours and 14 minutes later. There was slight damage to the bumpers and wings of her own and two adjoining cars, as well as a shop frontage and two lamp posts.

The greatest length of time a woman has watched a film with her husband without asking a stupid plot-related question was achieved on the 18th July 2002, when Mrs Ethel Brunswick sat down with her husband to watch the 'Ipcress File'. She watched in complete silence for a breathtaking 2minutes and 40secs before asking "Is he a goody or a baddie?" followed 30secs later by "Him in the glasses?" revealing a staggering level of ignorance. This broke her own record set in 1969 when she sat through 2mins 38secs of 'The Battle of Britain' before asking "Is this a war film?"

That "World Record" TV show makes me so sad. It's like, you really can't find something better to do with your time than balancing 18 beer kegs on your head?

I can balance one keg on a table, but the socend one always sends the first one to the floor.

You sure you're not the one that hits the floor after the first keg?

I remeber the first keg hitting the floor before me.....the second one though...that I don't remeber

I can honestly say that if there is beer to be drunk...I will be there to drink it.
