43 分钟Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber, and I'm sitting here with Anna Chazinski, Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin.
And once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favourite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with you, Andy.
My fact is, that to be a tennis umpire, you have to learn a 230 page book.
It's a rule book specifically.
Yeah, tennis.
It's not a novel.
And this is specifically the US Tennis Association,
so over in Britain we've got the Lawn Tennis Association, which is a slightly different thing.
It's the more off-you-know rules, do you think, for the Lawn one?
I don't know.
It's going to be similar, isn't it?
Probably a similar length.
Yeah.
But I have been reading the rules of Wimbledon, and so is Wimbledon the same guidebook?
Wimbledon is Lawn Tennis, so there's a slight change.
Change of course is almost immediate for this fact.
