The last thing I won was a little slab of white marble adorned with a plastic cricket emblem and a bit of engraved shiny gold effect metal.

It has always been a personal ambition to hold a Guinness World Record and have the certificate hanging on the wall confirming me as a world leader in my chosen field. Sadly my attempt at becoming the World’s shortest man was doomed to failure just after I passed my first birthday and it’s been gnawing away at me ever since (unfortunately not at a fast enough rate to bring my...
