GWR Attempt... Of A Different Kind
Not next Sunday but the Sunday after, I will be attempting to break a Guinness World Record, for the most tennis balls caught blindfolded in a minute. I will be doing it with my Dad, and will upload my video evidence here! I am posting this now as I am away all that week (minus the Sunday), and have a terrible memory!

Re: GWR Attempt... Of A Different Kind
You can't just change a record about tennis balls to one about soft toys, that would be like me getting the GWR for going around all the Tube stations in under 2 hours because I felt like doing the DLR stations instead.

Fastest time to visit all but one tube station [people will probably choose Kensington (Olympia)!] on the network for another GWR?tubeguru wrote:This is how ridiculous world records have become now.
