I was unaware that Blondie had ever had a 'tactic' as such. Jolly bad form this 'tactic' lark, if you ask me, anyway...

Do they cover themselves in lard like cross-channel swimmers?

No, lard's lighter than water, so eating more lard increases buoyancy & thus boatspeed. It's inspired.

We missed this crucial point in Lents '99 and actually decided to no fat at all - d'oh!

Simon, that really is one of the most revolting thoughts anyone has ever come up with in connection with Blondie. I think I may have to go and be violently ill now...

Does the Life Van's Mega Mouthful burger not beat that hands down? I'm sure Graham will confirm the exact details, but it's four (quarter-pound) burgers, with bacon and cheese between each one plus sundry other calorific delights.

Some fat knacker from America managed to eat one in 1 minute 52 seconds.
