So Soon – Another Record-Breaking Pub Crawl

When my post “A Record-Breaking Pub Crawl” came out on September 20, I really thought the record would hold for some time – but I was wrong! 

 

Now, a South African living in Australia broke the Guinness World Record by taking an epic pub crawl to 78 different establishments in a 24-hour period. 

 

Heinrich de Villiers received word from Guinness World Records that his February 10-11 pub crawl across Melbourne with a support team consisting of brother Ruald de Villiers and friend Wessel Burger has been certified as the record for most pubs visited in 24 hours (individual).

 

De Villiers took the record from Englishman Nathan Crimp, who visited 67 pubs in the Brighton, England, area in a 24-hour period. 

 

"It is important to note that, as per the Guinness World Record rules, we only had to consume 125 milliliters [4.2 ounces] of any drink at each place we visited", de Villiers told Broadsheet.

 

Crazee-e-e!

 

The Sun Daily had reported yesterday that Bank Negara Malaysia governor Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus (right) said inflation is likely to remain elevated but Malaysia is not expecting a recession in 2023. 

 

She, in fact, added that the economy is projected to grow by 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent in 2023 and continues to surpass pre-pandemic levels.

 

I suppose this is good news.
