Just got back from the doctors over my hand,refered me to hospital,bloody nuisence,funny he refered me last month.I am sure.
I am no expert,but Foraminifera are a marine protazoan I think.
I keep fresh water fish,and believe me there are microscopic nightmares,just waiting to infect your fish,I only use plastic plants,and no live food,its a huge subject though,you need bacteria to keep the water clean,breaking down waste products.
You used the word symbiosis,living together or merging together,antagnostic or antipathetic symbiosis,is resposible for a mutant,algae and fungi merged to create Litchens,wonder what else will mutate.not sure I like that word symbiosis.
I was going to talk about who will be in the England team tomorrow,but that is now pointless,now that Anderson is injured,he is not a lucky chap,he was brought into the team did well,I mean really well,went for a few and the selectors did not keep faith with him.
They will have to sort the top order out,4 left handers in the top 5,vaughan will have to go in the middle of them,bowlers suss out a team of left handers after a while,well we sorted the Windies left hander out,and so did everyone else.
