This is an attempt to derail Australian model Sarah Jane in her attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records. They've won enough this summer already :)

Who can resist the lure of wrinkly stockings?

..er, me, apparently.

They're going to have a long way to go to catch up with Danni Ashe.

Ground zero for the whole "most downloaded" movement.

It's a bollocks category, anyway, derived from the notorious fiction that is web access statistics. Unless Norris McWhirter analyses every access log of every web server, and I doubt even he's up to that.

I actually think this is a surreptitious bid to win the record for Fi Glover.

But, you have to admit, she (Ms. Ashe) has lovely breasts.

I don't know about Ms. Jane - I can't reach her site.

Janet Street-Porter isn't even in the running? Shame.

Yep, another patented Hal Incandenza thread- stopping post. It's like a gift, I can't explain it...

I will say that Sara Jane, previously unknown to me, is a complete hottie. Thank got I have Metafilter to help me find new chicks to download! :)
