Ivan Little reports from Lisburn on a bizarre world
record attempt being staged by Ulsterman Willie Nugent. Already a record holder
for standing motionless for 13 hours, he is now attempting to set a new record
for eating ice lollipops - he's hoping to guzzle between two and three hundred.
His physiotherapist, massaging him in preparation for the event, bravely
suggests that perhaps he should have consulted his doctor beforehand.
As Willie begins to
tackle the mountain of orange lollipops, another record holder is in his corner
adjudicating - Earl Bird, who recently set the world record for non-stop
yodelling (also in this collection).
Comedian Gene Fitzpatrick is also there, claiming to be Willie's official
defroster. Watch to see if the orange-lipped Willie achieves his target.
