How many snails would you stick to your face?

[Wendigo Wendigo]

Nine year old Cheshire schoolgirl Tiana Walton's put the Great back into Britain by sticking 25 snails to her face, beating the record of 15, held by a foreigner but how many snails would you stick to your face for the pride of Britain?

I think I'd settle for none.

You however, may have more pride in your country.

She smashed the previous record of 15, held by Australian Liam Kenny, and her unusual feat will appear in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The rules state that competitors have just one minute to put the snails on their face before tipping their head forward for 10 seconds.

Tiana, of Alvanley, Cheshire, said: "I am not squeamish. It is relaxing but it feels a bit cold. They are quite smelly and you can see their big long eyes facing you. I think my friends at school will say 'urgh'."

Local vet Ken Robinson witnessed the attempt and ensured no snails were harmed. He said: "It is a superb achievement and all the snails have been treated to a gourmet meal."

Tiana said her next ambition is to become an Olympic gymnast.

Setting records runs in the family as Tiana’s mother, Tommy, herself appeared in the Guinness Book Of World Records in 1980 for growing the largest lemon in the world weighing 3Ib 14oz..

It's an obvious career progression.

Vote now, you scurvy mollusc-haters.

None thanks.......

"None" is leading the poll. I knew the nation had no backbone for patriotism. I'm now only one step away from bringing down the monarchy.

[Veinticinco]

I've already stuck infinite snails to my face.

Next up: Infinity +1.

For god's sake - have you seen that boy wearing a skirt to school in Cambridgeshire as some kind of protest? These kids need a fucking life.

Andrew: Some of the guys did that when I was in school, and we won! Nothing wrong with a bit of protest to highlight the double standards in society.

Also, I knew this was a Wendythread as soon as I saw the title, didn't even need to look at the name underneath.

Someone should throw aload of salt into her face!

No, have you seen that boy wearing the skirt, or more to the point, have you heard him? He is talking about 'using loopholes to his advantage'. He's 12! He needs to discover wanking. Quick. Or he'll end up like this:

I guess once you get used to one or two on your face then it wouldn't be much worse having 50+. I'd rather have loads of garden snails than a few big African land snails sucking on my cheeks

[Medo]

I will puff my cheeks to achieve more facial surface area and hence be able to accommodate roughly 35-39 snails on my face.



Edit: I am also willing to wax my eyebrows to squeeze in 6 extra snails in.

The return of an old favourite. Imagine 25 of these on your face.

Not a problem.

[eddyk]

Snails don't bother me, I would gladly go outside and collect 30 snails to put on my face... if it wasn't a little girl who held the record.

I can't break her heart though.

I would do 2, one on each cheek just to be competitive.

My main talent for sticking things to my head is cans or aerosols (empty or full). My record is 3 then I run out of forehead space.
