A Bosnian pensioner who claims to have been married 162 times has said he wants to marry at least another 100 women.
Nedeljko Ilincic, 75, from Milosevac in Bosnia and Herzegovina, said he first got married when he was 15 and since then it has been "just one wife after another".
He said he now plans to see if his "feat" is worthy of a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
The former waiter, who has 14 children from different marriages, told local weekly Svet: "I first got married when I was only 15.
"I did it mainly because my parents wanted me to marry a woman named Joka, even though she was 20 years older than me, because her family was rich.
"I soon divorced her though because I didn't like her and after that it was just one wife after another. I seemed to be getting either married or divorced all the time.
"The length of the marriages was always different, sometimes I'd spend a few years with my wife, other times it would just be a week. I must hold the record though."
And the former waiter, who is currently single, said that at 75 he had not lost his appetite for marriage.
He said: "I'm still very popular with the ladies. At the moment there are two I could choose from, Janja and Dragica, who are both from Gradacac in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I've heard one of my ex-wives Petra also wants me back.
"I may be getting on a bit, but I'm not ready to give up on love just yet. Another 100 marriages would probably calm me down."

A Romanian man has surprised his family and friends when he decided to divorce his wife and marry her mother.
Laurentiu D, 27, from Focsani, had been married for only three months when he asked for a divorce.
A couple of months later he married his former mother-in-law, who is 45, reports 7Plus newspaper.
They wanted to have a quiet ceremony but it ended with a public row in front of the registry office.
Laurentiu D said: "A woman, probably paid by my ex-wife, came there uninvited and began to shout embarrassing things for us.
"I wanted to call the police but my new wife stopped me. I believe nobody should interfere with my private life. Everybody should mind his own business..."
The new couple say they hope to have two children together - a girl and a boy.

Gardener still going strong at 103

A 103-year-old Dorset gardener reckons he is Britain's oldest worker.
Jim Webber started working on the land aged 12 and has clocked up 91 years since, reports The Sun.
And in all that time the great-grandad has never had a holiday.
Widower Jim turns out in all weathers to tend a half-acre garden at his local New Inn pub in Stoke Abbott.
Jim, who still has a full driving licence, arrives on his Ferguson tractor carrying all his tools - including a chainsaw.
He refuses to charge more than £3 an hour and, when asked when he's going to retire he jokes: "When I get old."
Jim, who ran a farm until 1975, said: "I tried stopping work but I was bored and miserable. If I feel tired a drop of whisky soon puts me right."
Mary Ward, 47, who runs the New Inn with husband Richard, said: "Jim's amazing. He's always mowing, digging up tree roots or pruning and tidying."
Jim's daughter Kathy, 68, said: "Father has barely stayed in bed past 4am for 100 years. He just loves his work and can't sit still for a minute."

Belgium abolished!!!

Belgians were thrown into a panic when a spoof TV news report said their country had been 'abolished'.
Government offices were flooded with calls after the report that the Dutch-speaking Flanders region had declared independence and Belgium no longer existed as a nation.
The French-language RTBF interrupted programming to show footage of cheering crowds waving the Flemish flag and traffic jams at the new border.
Even foreign diplomats were taken in by the hoax which the station said was designed to show tensions between the French and Dutch-speaking communities.
Belgium's broadcasting minister eventually ordered the station to flash up the words "this is fiction" over the broadcast, reports the Daily Record.
A spokesman for Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt said: "It was in very bad taste. It scared many people."
RTBF television's head of news Yves Thiran said: "Our intention was to show viewers the real possibility of Belgium no longer being a country in a few months."

Police seize toilet art

A toilet which flushes to the sound of Italy's national anthem has been impounded by police.
It was on display at the Bolzano Museum of Modern Art and was the work of two local artists.
Prosecutors say the Fratelli d'Italia anthem is a national emblem which should be protected.
Defence barristers for the museum argue that while the anthem has patriotic and sentimental value, it is not a national symbol.
A judgement is due later this week.
Arguments will then begin over whether the case marks a precedent - or whether it's just a flash in the pan.

7ft python stuck in the u-tube.

An Australian schoolteacher called a plumber when her toilet was blocked - to find a 7ft python stuck in the u-tube.
The carpet python had been living in the septic tank of Kate Poole's home in Howard Springs, near Darwin.
Parks and wildlife officer Peter Phillips said the snake had probably poked its head out of the toilet "for a bit of a look around".
The snake was stuck fast but was finally caught by lifting the septic tank cover and using special tongs, reports Northern Territory News.
Ms Poole, 58, a part-time relief teacher, had met the snake before when it killed a baby possum that used to come to her door to be fed.
"It was crushing the possum," she said. "I managed to free the poor animal by lifting up the snake with a crutch, but it was too late - the possum was dead."
But she said she didn't hold a grudge and was happy to see the python liberated.

People on a flight panicked when 80 live rats escaped from a passenger's rucksack.
It happened on a Saudi Airlines flight to the city of Tabuk in northwest Saudi Arabia, reports Arab News.
The plane was flying at a height of 25,000ft when the rats were spotted running around the floor.
The captain warned ground crews at Tabuk airport who called in specialist teams to deal with the rodents.
It wasn't until the plane landed that it was discovered the rats had been brought on to the plane by a passenger.
The man admitted he had 80 live rats in a leather rucksack which had somehow managed to escape during the flight.
The passenger was handed over to security authorities to continue investigations.
