The fastest accelerating living thing on planet earth isn't a cheetah (or Stefan Moore, Wayne Fereday etc), a swift or a peregrine falcon, it's actually a fungus, the hat thrower fungus.
It ejects spores which can reach a speed of 45mph in their first millimetre of flight. That's the equivalent of 20,000g
I like him and think he has been dealt a tough hand, what with the lack of recruitment.
I just watched the highlights from the Wolves Ipswich game and Ipswich's first goal was a real fluke. Admittedly, Wolves were under the cosh at the time, but one Wolves player deflected an Ipswich shot away from the net into another Wolves player, who deflected it straight into the net. So unlucky.
A company which services my solar installation has a really irritating and time-consuming booking system.
Here's what happened recently: - They told me my contract had been renewed and *they told me* to contact them, to arrange the annual inspection - I duly did, but...it soon became clear that that first contact is only designed to enable them to open a service ticket, time slots cannot be discussed. - Instead, they ring you back, at any old time. Not surprisingly, I missed their call. - They left a message, great, except that they informed me that they had selected a slot of their choosing and simply booked me in. - Surprise surprise, I couldn't make that time. So, I have to ring them back. As you can imagine, I was far from happy by this point. What a charade the whole process is! - They informed me that they would get back in touch about an alternative slot. Days later, it's still radio silence. - What was particularly rich was that they said that this is a busy time of year for them. Fair enough, but if that's the case, why did *they* ask me to book an inspection. Instead, ask the customer to book one in the spring or at some other, more convenient time. - Net net: Nothing has been achieved grrrrrr
