    The MEME this week comes from Tbilisoba 2013. Athlete Guram Ustiashvili broke the world record for pulling vehicles using his teeth in the Tbilisi Auto Show. Ustiashvili pulled three classic vehicles – tied to one another – a distance of four meters and thirty-seven centimeters. The president of the Georgian Records Federation said the material will be sent to the US for confirmation that Ustiashvili is now the first athlete who has pulled three vehicles using his teeth.

  2. Although I am 3rd generation British I take a keen interest in Georgia. Unfortunately following a serious accident I am in hospital in London for the foreseeable future. I cannot access audio equipment and wonder if you have a transcript of what you broadcast?
    I find you highly entertaining and informative– or rather, I did while I was still able to listen!
    Warm regards

    PS Peter Nasmyth knows me well! Alas am not allowed visitors but he will be aware since we have had to postpone G S Day till some time next year.

  3. Mr Mullen, I guess you were able to get out Georgia before they enacted the “exit Visa” procedure. However, it seems that the girl was unable to leave, did she do something wrong?
