Ah. Never seen it. I have to say it did cross my mind as I posted my request for clarification. Is it worth watching btw?

Ian Bell - Either a English Test number 3 or a Scottish Jazz muscian who died in 2004 (thanks Wiki :p)

Graeme Smith - Either the captain of the South African cricket team or the goal keeper for Scottish football (soccer) club Motherwell or a former Olympic Swimmer who won a Bronze in the Atlanta Olympics in the 1500m free style.
Also somebody who I work with.

Matthew Elliott - Former Australian Test opener and Rugby League coach who now coaches the Penrith Panthers - both pretty ordinary IMO.

Haha, my name is truly a widespread one, ITBT. Was astonished when I first Googled it at how many different hits it brought-up.

My favourite namesake is this guy. Went to see them a few years ago even though I'm no Hendrix fan at all, was vaguely impressed. Went and spoke to him after the thing, he was like "yeah, people come up to me and say 'I'm a Rich Dickinson as well!' pretty often, we've got quite a common name". Ind33d, my man, ind33d.
