You know when you see a job advert and think: ‘that’s what I was always supposed to do’?

Well...it’s not a proper job where you’ll get paid, but it is important, worthy work. Manchester’s Oktoberfest needs someone who can take a lot of sausages in their mouth.

Why? So they can break the world record for speedy wiener swallowing (which, apparently, is an actual thing!)

Albert’s Schloss will be taking over Albert Hall for a three-day sausage-fest, and it’s that bar that’s on the hunt for a sausage-chomping champion.

On 15 September the festivities will begin, with Bavarian bier tents, bands, and plenty of sausage stalls. As the Manchester Evening News reports, Albert’s Schloss is keen to find someone who’ll set a new record in sausage eating, as part of their Wurst Olympics.

The current record for the most sausages consumed in one minute belongs to Stefan Paladin, from New Zealand, who managed to eat eight 10cm sausages in 60 seconds.

If you reckon you can beat him, you’ll take part in one of the three timed trials on Friday, before taking part in the proper challenge on Saturday.

To compete you’ll just need to buy a £5 ticket for the festival, so don’t stress about gathering credentials or getting your mum to print off a certificate for that time you ate four hot dogs at once - it's just not needed!
