It's also true that a lot of the facts rely on fake questions or answers that rely on technicalities. For every few questions that's like "What's the driest place on Earth?" which is followed by a suitably surprising yet factually correct answer - a logical pairing of straight question and straight answer - there's a question that misleads you or an answer that feels rather smug; the QI equivalent of saying "Which hand is the 10p coin in?" when it is, in fact, in neither hand (or as this book would have it, "It's not actually a coin because..." or "These aren't actually hands because...") At the 2019 ELFT Quality Conference we were excited to launch our illustrated guide to QI, produced by ELFT in collaboration with Sonia Sparkles. It’s an interactive picture book that takes you on a journey from ‘What is QI?’ through to improving the health of populations using Triple Aim. Explore the illustrated guide here >> a training tool for 119 agents to familiarise themselves with the various booking journeys so they can support the public Come! Cast across this crazy cornucopia of crucial 'C' conundrums with Stephen Fry, Alan Davies and company.Users can book first, second doses, and booster appointments, as recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation(JCVI). Final Piece Puzzle - Surely there's no way of fitting that last orange square into the apparently completed puzzle. Or is there? (Hint: there is a way.) I think the best thing about this book was the introduction by Stephen Fry. It was witty and had a fantastic quote about knowledge that I have highlighted on my kindle (I won't spoil it for you). Ptaszynski and Harkin are senior researchers, writers and script editors for the BBC’s "QI", and two-fourths of the "No Such Thing As a Fish" podcast. Between them, they have authored 13 books with the "QI" Elves and toured shows across the world. A gargantuan gallimaufry of G-ness that gambols gamely between Galaxies, Gods, Gravity, Gin, Gnus and Gravel with all our favourites and some surprises - from QI's new BBC1 series showing this autumn:

It's very interesting and enlightening but you also realise that all the things it's telling you will just make you sound like a smart arse should you try and tell anyone else about it. The Book of General Ignorance contains a list of 230 questions, most of which previously appeared in episodes of QI. Each question explains the correct answer, and usually attempts to show why people tend to make the wrong assumptions, or believe certain myths. Each book contains two forewords, one by Fry, the other by Davies. Davies' initial "foreword" was credited as "Four words," which read simply: "Will this do, Stephen?"

As I didn't have the earlier, slimmer, version of this book I have no complaints about a re-hash or being cheated. Anyone buying this book will get exactly what they expect and almost all will be delighted by that. I was! There was very, very, little in this book that I already knew and the real frustration is that, after every new fact, I thought "Wow, I'll remember that!" when, in reality, I can remember almost nothing.

The second QI book - again written by John Lloyd and John Mitchinson, and also with illustrations by Ted Dewan. I love the TV series, and I love the book. For fans of the series, many of the examples in the book will be familiar to you, but it's effectively a collection of facts written in an amusing and illuminating way. It manages to be a fun read, rather than a list of 'things', however - something which several similar publications could learn by.Grimes, William (30 November 2007). "Reading Fun Before Frosty Melts Away, and After". The New York Times . Retrieved 4 February 2008. It has a huge variety of interesting facts covering a massive variety of subjects, there truly is something to interest everyone. From common myths (such as swimming after eating, strongest muscle in the body, etc.) to just plain interesting facts that you never knew, you will be pleasently surprised by how much you thought you knew and didn't! Response to the book has been mostly positive, both critically and commercially. Critic Jennifer Kay said, " The Book of General Ignorance won't make you feel dumb. It's really a call to be more curious." [18] Liesl Schillinger in The New York Times praised the book for gathering "so much repeatable wisdom […] in one place," asking the rhetorical question of interested parties—"In the Information Age, can you afford to remain ignorant of these precious factoids?" [19] On 1 November 2007 another QI spin-off title was produced: The QI annual, intended as a continuing work focusing on the Series' alphabetic themes. [26] The annual featured contributions from most of "QI"s guest panellists and the comedian Rowan Atkinson. In 2010 the second book of General Ignorance was released. an appointment management system for staff working at vaccination centres and community pharmacies offering coronavirus and flu vaccinations - Q-Flow
