I was surprised to see that this man has been awarded the World Record for having the largest collection of magazines - approximately 51,000. I've met him and seen his collection and it is certainly very impressive.

I currently have over 30,000. Some way to go but watch this space!

I remember when Roy took the England manager's job. The only players he retained were Trevor Francis and one other (Keegan?). The rest of the team was made up of Melchester players and Johnny Dexter

I believe my friends and I have the world record for the tallest hat - we beat the stated Guinness record.

Didn't contact Guinness as we found you had to pay for them to authorise it - greedy c***s!

It was built for a song - haven't actually finished the full video edit yet but here is a clip:

The magazines get catalogued on a website. Can't have stuff like that on there sitting alongside mainstream titles. Loaded, Nuts and Zoo is as fruity as it gets

Is it possible to read 250 Mags in a day ?
Report Big_Issue December 21, 2012 6:48 PM GMT
To be fair pre-internet the w**k mags only had a certain lifespan before new material had to be sourced.

I don't read them - i just look at the pictures

I didn't pick them up personally but the bloke who picked them up for me said that the vendor wasn't too happy that he'd sold to a trader.

What made it worse was that in his ad, he said that certain issues fetch £x on a certain website which he'd named. When he received my payment, he realised that he'd sold to same website

Think I'm about there but I'm not going to get it verified by Guinness if you have to pay.

Anyway, I think there's a bloke in New York with over a million.

Someone got in touch with us saying they had every copy of Woman's Weekly for sale. (Started in 1918, so about 5,000 issues.)

'Er indoors sent him a couple of emails with no reply but he came back recently saying that he'd been inundated with interest from museums, historians and collectors.

He says that a private collector in London has offered him £230,000 Shocked

I'm out.
