Having two guinnes records meens very little to me cos they got me cheap to do them and I still have not received the certificates promised so its not a big deal really is it, just an ego thing which may or may not impress, I for one will not bother again, empty promises and little or no fee !!! Once bitten twice shy.

Kondini,
You didn't get your certificates?! How long ago did you break the records? (And just for curiosities sake, may I ask what in?) -Matt (TK) |

Record 1 Fire Blowing enough to lift a Hot Air Balloon off the ground by six feet 1976 No2 The anniversary 50th challenge for TV (Most fire blowers at one time Stonehenge UK ) three months ago, OK.
So Im not impressed, come to think of it the 500th Challenge escape made in the US September 2004 on the Chesepeak Bay Maryland, although very well received got no recognition by the big G either,,,still what the hell no way could I pay my mortgage off of paper documents. My loss is nothing,,there will always be many fools wishing to display a G trophy by working for nout to take the place of people like me. They had three strikes from me,,,,so now they are out. |

Kondini,
Wow, 1976?!?! Yeah, now that's certainly a long time to wait. Stuart Burrell had mentioned to me that it could take up to four months to get your certificate in but 28 years is a bit excessive. I got my first two certificates within three weeks of getting Guinness all of the paperwork. The third I'm still waiting on. -Matt (TK) |

Hi guys
As far as I know, no one got the papers for the 50 people at Stonehenge, I have been chasing them up for ages now and gotten nowhere.

Wow, now that's REALLY not cool! Wasn't that even done as a stunt for their 50th Anniversary show?
-Matt (TK) PS- Check to see if the person that set up the event got his. A lot of the time that person will get one but none of the others will unless they pay a fee for them (7 pounds the last time that I looked in to it). |

They called me a couple of days after to ask where I wanted them sending (I had got two of the people for them, I couldn't do it myself as I was away) I gave my address so I could pass them on to the guys, and they said they would be on the way within 24hrs. That was back in September, since then I have been brushed off.
A lot of people gave their time for nothing, to help them make a TV show, and that's the thanks they got. I will try your idea tommorow Matt.

To use it on tv then not give you the papers, that is so not cool.

It must be remembered that here in the UK, TV companies either pay pennies or nothing at all.
There are always performers looking for the break and believe that TV exposure is the way forward. It is`nt. In the past year we have been contacted fifteen plus times by different channels, they start out by picking your brains, then the sob tight budget story which puts most pro`s off with many part time entertainers waiting in the wings for the left overs. From January 2004 to January 2005 only two stations met our costs, one of them being Welsh TV subcontracted by Sky. Guinness is also a bussiness which keeps its costs to a minimum,likewise with misguided soules in a queue waiting for their second of glory. As you get older you get wiser,,,,so wise up before working for nowt cos TV will never pay your mortgage or return to you as much as you give to them. If I ever get a letter or certificate from Guinness I shall hang it in the S*******e |

David (Straitjacket),
Did you get your certificates from Guinness yet? I'm just curious if nearly everyone is having this problem or if it's just a few. -Matt (TK) |

Hi Matt
I spoke to Guinness the other day about the fire breathing thing and they have promised to do something about it. Only 20 people got sent certificates, the other 30 didn't. I think I have the ones we are owed on the way at least.

Maybe they don't like to send certificates because they don't like licking the stamps.

David,
Good to hear! I'm glad that's finally taken care of! I'm having a similar issue with one of my certificates. They said that it was just an error and that they sent it out on the 17th... so assuming that's true then hopefully I'll have it by the end of the coming week. -Matt (TK) |
