What a Gooseberry!


After 53 years of pain staking green fingery, Bryan Nellist's 62.01g "woodpecker berry" has been awarded the coveted 2010 Guinness World Record award for the world's HEAVIEST gooseberry! (Imagine!)
At long last realizing his lifelong dream and finally kicking the proverbial dirt in the eyes of his rival, Kevin Archer, Nellist said on the victory, "I have been trying for 53 years to grow 'the big one' and it could have been even bigger. I picked it a week before the show because i didn't want it to burst." (Show off).
Apparently there is "nothing more heartbreaking than waking up to discover your gooseberry has burst." I think waking up in the morning to find Kevin Archer pissing on your gooseberry patch again comes in as a close second, however, Bryan was unavailable for comment.

Well done though Bry! :-)
