Kinross swinger goes all night

Man's 36-hour swing marathon lands world record

A Kinross man has achieved a childhood ambition to break the world record for the longest marathon on a swing. Richard Scott, 51, completed the 36-hour challenge on Sunday, beating the existing record by two hours

You wouldn't exactly say he looks pleased

[shiftwork2]

Worth clicking through to see the grave he's dug for himself.

[steve98]

How utterly pointless.

[Zero Gravitas]

Why didn't they shorten the chain rather than digging a pit?

[Huxleys Babkins]

Nice to see "Big Keith" from The Office lending his support.

[Butchers Blind]

Anyone who does the 'thumbs up' in a photo is a cunt.

[Johnny Yesno]

Why didn't they shorten the chain rather than digging a pit?

There was no pit when he started.

[Zetetic]

he was allowed a five-minute break every hour, which could be saved up.

"I had a half-hour break"

"There were occasions where ... I'd actually forget to swing"

"The people watching me said I was slowing down too much"

This could be all of us under UBI but you be playin'

Yeah. This is bullshit. Please gas this marquee of cunts.

[kittens]

surely the only element of challenge here is not thinking of something better to do with your time. any sufficiently healthy human being could very easily achieve this "record".

Why didn't they shorten the chain rather than digging a pit?

Why didnt they dig a deeper pit is a much better question.
Everyone knows the longer the chain the better the swinging.

Roundabout next? Or even a swing on a roundabout..

[Fambo Number Mive]

I suppose there are worse things one could spend 36 hours doing than swinging.

Something the BBC don't mention is that this was done for charity, on the rotary club Facebook page they mention £823 was raised.

Which one of you wants to spend 37 hours on a swing to beat this record?

[Huxleys Babkins]

Roundabout next? Or even a swing on a roundabout..

Already done it.

[Fambo Number Mive]

What music/podcasts/television is best to swing to? I'd go for I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue CDs.

[canadagoose]

I suppose that's about as exciting as it gets in Kinross. It'd be funnier if he swung himself into Loch Leven though.

That's a pathetic amount of money!

[Captain Z]

Initially misread this as "Kissinger goes alt right".

Talking of impressive stunts:

A hilarious plaque commemorating an epic eating feat has been spotted.

A photograph of the brass plaque was shared to the Spotted Witney Facebook page, with the poster writing: "On a bench in Deer Park. Not something you see every day."

The plaque states: "This plaque commemorates the achievement of Mr Tom Rees for eating 27 jumbo sausages on this bench. 30 October 2021."...

Impressive amount of partner swapping

Roundabout next?

Well, he's a member of a rotary club, so it would be more appropriate than this swinging nonsense.

Kinross is desolate. When I was a small kid my parents were friends with a family of religious fundamentalists from Kinross whose son Nathan was born the same day as me in the next bed. There used to be a chicken processing plant with a cheery picture of a chicken on the outside that you could see from the motorway. My father took great delight in explaining that no you couldn't go visit the chickens.

Also it's a few miles from the UK's northernmost motorway service station. The gents are OK.

Speaking of which, why did he have a 5 minute toilet break every hour when he could have pissed from the swing.

If you time it right, you're taking some pressure of the legs as well.

Same with the todds, I suppose.

[Goldentony]

look kathy, john sat on a swing for ages!

[Twit 2]

Unless this cunt was in a Squid Game-type contraption suspended over giant razor maggots, I don't give a FUCK.

That's £22/pH, if anyone wants to give me a 44 grand salary for sitting on my arse and achieving nothing.
