Laura Byng dodgem


Laura Byng dodgem
Laura Byng dodgem. A fundraiser has bumped a world record holder off the top spot by completing the longest ever dodgem car marathon.
Recruitment consultant Laura Byng, 28, from Southend, completed the bone-shaking 25-hour feat at the town's Adventure Island fun park.

Along the way she was joined by friends - and they killed time by orchestrating synchronised dodgem displays.

Miss Byng said: "It was mostly enjoyable but when we got to 4am, it was freezing cold and there was nobody about, I thought 'what am I doing?'

"My friends joined in for an hour or two. We would start off bumping and have a bit of fun then we would come up with routines to entertain ourselves."

The existing record was held by Austrian Sebastian Bosch who went for a 24-hour spin in 2007.

Miss Byng beat this by an hour and must now wait for official confirmation that she has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Along with teacher Cherylanne Saywell, 37, she hopes to complete The Mongol rally, driving 10,000 miles over five weeks, later this year. They plan to raise £10,000 for Haven Hospices in Essex.

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...

Ugly bridesmaid dresses

Ugly Bridesmaid Dresses Ugly bridesmaid dresses - All brides are beautiful, and all bridesmaid dresses are ugly, unless it’s Pippa’s. But some bridesmaid dresses go beyond ugly to truly hideous. Those Ugly bridesmaid dresses look like they came from the closet of my high school’s drama department. You know, the crappy, shapeless costumes that have seemingly been there since 1972? That’s what these dresses remind me of. Like a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. I’m glad they’re wearing such big smiles on their faces, because it shows that they don’t care about stupid, shallow things like that. They’re just happy for their newly wedded friend. Impressive.
