Me and my friend recently took part in the cream cracker challenge - when you see how long it takes you to eat 3 cream crackers. The record is 49.15 seconds. I managed to eat mine in a minute and a half. Anyway, we're looking for even more challenges to undergo...can you think of any that might be fun or maybe you've tried out.....
Took place in October 2004
A 50-year-old man got a weekend of wacky world record attempts in Singapore off to a cracking start today when he became the fastest eater of dry biscuits in the world.
Requiring just a few sips of water between dry-mouthed chomps, Jeffery Koh stuffed three cream crackers into his mouth and swallowed them in a mere 14.45 seconds. He raised his hands in triumph and flashed a victory sign as officials confirmed he had easily beaten Britain�s Ambrose Mendy�s 2002 mark of 49.15 seconds
I guess it wasn't a particularly popular pastime but 2 weeks after I became world champion, a woman in London beat my record.
I had a brief dalliance with "extreme ironing" (where you take an ironing board to an unusual location and obtain photographic evidence.)
I have a photo of me in the murk of the North sea hanging onto my ironing board for grim death.
The world record holder is (I believe) a woman called Louise Trevwas who took an ironing board several hundred feet down in the Red Sea off Egypt last year.
