Beermat flipping records fall

An afficionado of bizarre passtimes has claimed three world records for flipping beer mats. Dean Gould 45, flipped and caught 35 beer mats with two fingers whilst blindfolded - more than doubling the previous best of 16.

He also set a new 'speed flipping' record with 800 successful flips in just 41.06 seconds. The third record involved catching 108 mats after dropping them from his elbow, beating the old 'snatch' record of 107.



Mr Gould, of Felixstowe, Suffolk, adds the three records to his previous tally of 13 Guinness World Record entries, which include licking and sticking 235 stamps to envelopes in five minutes. He also holds the record for catching an incredible 341 one penny coins from his elbow and eating 113 sweetcorn kernels with a cocktail stick in three minutes.

Speaking of his latest feat, he said: ''It was great to break three records and a really good event. It was a wonderful atmosphere in the pub and people really enjoyed the day.''
