Record attempt

14 May 2007

My local radio station are trying to break the current world record for the longest continuous broadcast by one single presenter - currently 125 hours non-stop (with no sleep). It started this morning and will run until at least Saturday if the presenter can manage it and is raising money for Berkshire Give A Child A Chance. 6 days without sleep? Cor, I'm grumpy without one night's sleep so it'll be interesting to see how his mood fares as the week goes by!
I've never attempted anything even resembling an amazing feat let alone a record breaker - have you? Actually I recently received a book from my sis called '101 things to do before you're old and boring' - she's a cheeky cow but I might get some ideas lol

I once did a 56 hour continuious shift , with a colleague, to complete a deadline.
We both started halucinating at about 50 hours and the computer screen went 3D and starting moving in and out, at which point we thought it best call for assistance.
The drive home was what can best be described as very interesting :silly:

thats a challenge and half.... how do you talk about interesting stuff for 126 hours .. if that would be me there would be dead air after the first five hours cause i would have run out of things to speak about.
wouldn't it be funny if there was a power cut a few hours before he reached the record.. or am i just cruel.

Thats just silly. I did the whole of the South Downs Way in a day once. 97 miles off-road on a mountain bike.
Got bloody sunburnt on the tops of me legs, backs of me calves and tops of me arms - stopping just where the gloves started. Not only was I sore, but I looked a right pillock.
