Hi all - two questions related to cricket and acting:
1) Is Guernsey and former Hampshire cricketer Lee Savident the son of former Coronation Street actor John Savident? I know they're both from Guernsey, so chances are high that they're at least related.
2) What other cases are there of first-class cricketers who are sons of popular actors? I known of Jim Troughton, son of David and grandson of Dr. Who, but presumably there must be others...
Thanks in advance, Grutness... wha? 00:51, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know which Olympic discipline (thinking of summer now, but winter interests me too, while we're at it) was most recently removed from the Olympics? Tug of war hasn't been part of the Olympics since 1920, for example, but I'm interested in the most recent former contest. Anyone know? --- Sluzzelin talk 02:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I watched Argentina play the Netherlands in football/soccer in the Olympics, and I noticed that all the Argentine players, coaches, and even trainers had the AFA logos removed from their jerseys and polo shirts. Why? Is it some kind of Olympic rule? Thanks!-- El aprendelenguas ( talk) 21:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
