May 21[edit]

What is the name of this actor?[edit]

What is the name of this actor ([1])? I think the show is General Hospital, but I am not sure. I think the character might be named Brett, but I am not sure. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:06, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parry Shen, according to the file name used on the website [2]. Calidum ¤ 05:16, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Football FA Cup red card, medal presentation[edit]

In today's FA Cup final, Chris Smalling got a red card, becoming the 4th person ever sent off in the finals.

In a pub quiz a few weeks ago, there was a question about the first - which was Kevin Moran (footballer), fouling Peter Reid, in 1985. The 2nd was Jose Antonio Reyes,in 2005, and the third Pablo Zabaleta in 2013.

I know that Reyes didn't go up for the medal presentation - although he did get a medal later. As confirmed in this newspaper story [3].

My friend thinks that Zabaleta also did not go up for the presentation. I don't know if Moran did or not.

Today, Smalling did go up for the presentation.

I wondered if this was due to a rule change, or if he just sneaked up there, or what. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 19:59, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The commentators on the coverage I was watching were surprised he was there, but there has been no reprimand handed down for it so I would say it is either a little know rule, or has changed, or is just the preference of the player. Either way it appears from the lack of reprisal that it is fine for him to do. gazhiley 16:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ship in Shackleton (TV serial)[edit]

What ship plays the part of the Endurance in Shackleton (TV serial)? DuncanHill (talk) 21:53, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clicking on "What links here" from the above article, led me to Kaskelot (tall ship).--Shantavira|feed me 07:19, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I know the Kaskelot - she moors down the road from my Mum's house. I suppose with a false funnel and a paint job she could be the one. DuncanHill (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently it's owned by Square Sail Ventures Ltd which says on this page of their website: "The addition of a funnel on one of our ships and minimal dressing transformed it into Shackleton's Endurance". Alansplodge (talk) 17:12, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
