Faster than average, (though I'm no Mike Phelps ) and I also know some self-defence tips against sharks.

Weekly. So those rents you're seeing advertised aren't so cheap afterall I think it's a good system as you don't have to come up with a whole whack of money at once. And a landlord knows when a tenant isn't paying up much sooner.

I think there was a recent story of some young man who punched or kicked a shark in the nose and the shark swam away. I'm hoping it's true, although I'm also hoping I never have to try it out

It's supposedly true? Sharks have very sensitive noses and don't like being hit there.

I saw something on tv where some shark expert said that's the worst thing you can do, if you have to clobber a shark go for the eyes.

Yep nose or eyes are very sensitive. Theory is hitting them there makes them think you're more hassle than you're worth. Perhaps most of their prey is stupid and just panic, or they have an inability to inflict pain to the sharks nose or eyes.
