Notes: Guinness Superlatives, publishers of the Guinness Book of Records decided to make this special award to Paul saying: "It
has been our practice, over many years, to issue certificates to new world record holders. We thought of making this
presentation to him to mark the fact that he is a triple superlative who has featured in so many of our editions that we have
come to regard him as a virtual fixture. To be a superlative is hard enough, to be a triple superlative is something very rare indeed."

And since Paul`s achievements are rather extraordinary it was decided that something unique should also be given to mark the
award. Gold and platinum discs are quite commonplace nowadays so it was decided to give Paul the first ever disc to be pressed
in Rhodium one of the most rare of precious metals.
