The other record I hear you're interested in, @RealHughJackman , is coin catching off the elbow. This is a bit more challenging – you'd need to beat 328 coins (10p) caught off the elbow, set in 1993 by Dean Gould of Felixstowe.

To this end, the record is "in research" so out of circulation while we re-research for the 2022 edition. You have indeed made us wonder about the Wonderdog...

So excited to reveal the cover for @GWR 2021 - something a bit different from the awesome Rod Hunt. Great to see so many record holders illustrated on one cover - can you find them all!?

I’m honoured to have illustrated the book cover for the 2021 @GWR Guinness World Records! The 2021 book, released later this year, features a jacket that took illustrator Rod Hunt 300 hours to create. #illustration #books #design #WorldBookDay

Exhausting few days in Dubai with Afshin, @GWR 's new shortest man. We've been to the barbers, the tailors, up the @BurjKhalifa , had a v glam photoshoot, held a press conference this morning, and he's off for a medical later. No wonder we've zonked out! 😴

Wow. Has anyone confirmed the name of the hospital for this remarkable claim? The original reporter is not replying to my messages (nor is the expert quoted). Would be great to get this ratified for @GWR

Sad to hear about Robbie Coltrane... and amused at the number of people who've contacted me about it, checking I'm ok, like I've lost a twin brother. Lol. Can't see it myself... Mind you, I have signed a few autographs as him over the years...

@BBCSanaSafi Thanks for the clarification. But please let's not lose the message here that Rashid Khan did an awesome thing. Let's celebrate that Afghanistan has made incredible leaps in cricket in such a short space of time and not take offence at demonyns. Call me Scotch if you want...

This should be fun/terrifying - just me and Ross and Norris (my fish) broadcasting live from my living room! Ask any question you want about the history of the company, what constitutes a record and how to be a record breaker yourself.

Fascinating, enjoyable piece by @ImogenWK in @guardian on “The strange survival of Guinness World Records”. I long ago stopped thinking about how odd our day jobs are @gwr but when you sit down and explain it to someone, yeah, it does sound strange…
