  • Hello, and welcome to an extra special edition of No Such Thing as a Fish,

  • this time we are celebrating the release of our new book, the book of the year 2019, The World's Weirdest News.

  • My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with Andrew Hunter Murray, and James Harkin,

  • and once again we have gathered round the table with our four favorite facts from our new book,

  • which is out now, and in no particular order, here we go, starting with you, James.

  • Okay, my fact from the book of the year 2019, The World's Weirdest News, is that Greta Thunberg's middle name is Tintin.

  • Amazing.

  • Isn't that great?

  • Now, you can argue this isn't technically true, because...

  • I'm glad we opened on this one.

  • Immediate climb down.

  • Well, she has five names in total, and Tintin is the second one,

  • I call it middle name, so she is called Greta, Tintin, Eleonora, Ernman, Thunberg.

  • Middle name Tintin.

  • That's an incredibly professional way of a view to caveat that fact,

  • James, because any other person would have just said her middle name is Tintin,

  • that's fine, but you said, well, technically it's one outside her middle name, but it's not a first or a surname.

  • We kept editing that sentence out of the actual book, though, in the end.

  • I reckon that any name which is not your first name or your surname is technically a middle name.

  • Definitely.
