World record attempt in aid of RNLI - TODAY!

Options
Hello,

There is a world record attempt going on today aiming to get 100k posts on one blog post in 24 hours (this started at 6am this morning).

It is free to comment but for each comment a donation will be made to RNLI.

The comments can be about anything you like but must be a minimum of two words and ten characters.

If anyone can take 30 seconds to help that would be great!

    Well ! I've made a comment ... has anybody else ?

    The RNLI is a brilliant service and deserves every pound it can get.

    As Delia once said "Where are you ? Lets be having you."

    Thanks

    That's not what it says :huh:
    ... The level of funds raised is not associated with the number of comments ...
    ...According to Guinness World Records® we need around 100k unique comments. That’s just over 1 comment a second! With your help we think we can whoop that...

    Total raised: 5556 comments

    Not quite the 100k comments expected :cool:

    Still, £6k to a very worthwhile cause :T
