Could you last five and a half days presenting a radio show non-stop, this person is attempting to do that by breaking the world record of the longest DJ marathon. Reminds me of the time when Simon Mayo tried and suceeded to do this on Radio 1. This weblink has more.

Sounds like something Scott Mills would do... and fail 2 days in.

I don't think they could last a script to last five and a half days.

Doesn't Simon Mayo hold this record? Or did he fail in his attempt?

Sorry Baggie, but are you suggesting that you actually expect me to have read the whole of any of Zenon's posts?

[Boboff]

I think Simon Mayo did this, but he failed, or did he succeed, My Budgie does that, sucks seed. Growler!

Simon Mayo did it and succeeded in 1999, but it has been done a few times since by different people...

I just spent awhile googling (yes, I'm at work with nothing better to do) but I can't find any mentions of Simon Mayo's record. I did find this article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cambridgeshire/con ... ture.shtml

this is a different bloke to the one Zenon mentions, so I'm confused now.

I help out on Radio Cambs! That was the dullest radio show I ever heard!

[Zenon]

Nicola Red, type out 'Simon Mayo' and '37 hours' on Google and you'll find articles relating to this.

[S4B]

sad that you know this!

[Zenon]

He gave up today after 108 hours less than a day out of the record.
