    I think he was a rugby player, not a soccer one. Seen the picture before, but not sure where. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Yes - the guy in the middle was Scottish rugby player James Robertson, known to be the first ever black rugby player in the world during his university days in Edinburgh. After gaining a medical degree from there, he moved to Ashwell in Hertfordshire and opened a GP practice.

    I prefer to call them the Karshadians. It makes them sound like they are from Bridgend.

    Ada Lovelace. She was Lord Byron's daughter. Lord Byron fought for Greek independence. She worked with Charles Babbage on the first computer, the differential(?) engine.

    I think it was Frank Zappa ? Exactly why the Americans opposed this appointment I don't know though there are many possibilities.
