Norris McWhirter is dead

Norris McWhirter, co-founder of the Guinness Book of
Records, has died aged 78. Mr McWhirter suffered a heart
attack whilst attempting the longest ever tennis match at
his Wiltshire home on Monday evening, his family said.

During the 1970s and 1980s, he was a fixture of the BBC 1
children's show record breakers, hosted by dead annoying tap
dancing tosser Roy Castle, who similarly died whilst trying
to break the world record for passive smoking.

Norris McWhirter is real, and he is to do with the Guiness
Book of Records ... it's the being dead, and the mode of
death I'm querying.

the telly about who was right about a record, and for the
name Norris Spunksquirter.
