The answer is they are all the themes of world records that Hartlepool people have had a crack at.
Did you know that there was a Hartlepool bid to break the world record for the most Chinese whispers? It happened in 2006 at Brierton Comprehensive School.
The paper ships record attempt was made at Hartlepool Marina in 2010 while the big bang a drum bid happened in 2006.
And watch out for lots of people singing at St Cuthbert’s in a memory from 2005.
