Guiness record: he spoke non-stop through 5 days and nights
The Guinness record for the longest speech was broken on Saturday by a 62-year-old resident of the French Pyrenees. The tireless orator spoke incessantly through 124 hours, That is 5 days and nights. Agencies do not report, how long the listeners endured. The feat of the Frenchman Lluis Colet will be entered in the Guinness Book of Records. Not sleeping for five nights and eating only snacks, Colet had been speaking continuously for an hour 12.00 on Monday until Saturday afternoon. At the Perpignan train station in southwestern France, he was cheered on by a large audience, including local musicians and singers. The health of the professional speaker was supervised by a doctor. French orator, a museum guide by profession, first he recited texts and poems by eminent authors, and then he talked for a long time about the Catalan culture that was close to him and about his favorite painter, Salvador Dali. – This is a great day for me and I dedicate it to everyone, who defend the Catalan culture and language – he said after the end of the speech in Colet's already weakened voice. An inhabitant of the Pyrenees, he dethroned the previous record holder, Hindusa, whose discourse was four hours shorter. For the persistent, we have a fragment of a speech by an excellent speaker from France.
