Bernard Trink (born 1931) is a former columnist for the "Bangkok Post".
 A native New Yorker, Trink came to Bangkok in the mid-1960s and taught English at various universities before taking over the "Nite Owl" column in 1966 at the now defunct "Bangkok World", Bangkok's evening English-language newspaper.
 Trink's popular "Nite Owl" column ran weekly for the next 37 years, covering Bangkok's night time entertainment (go-go bars, nightclubs, pubs and massage parlors).
 He also wrote restaurant reviews as "Friar Tuck" and did regular interviews, film and book reviews.
Friar Tuck is a companion to Robin Hood in the legends about that character.
Project Sherwood was the codename for a United States program in controlled nuclear fusion.
 It was funded under the Atoms for Peace initiative during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 The name Sherwood was suggested by Paul McDaniel, Deputy Director of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), since funding for a facility known as the "Hood" Building was “robbed to pay Friar Tuck”, a reference to the British physicist and fusion researcher James L. Tuck.

Robin Hood is a British television drama series, produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC One, which debuted in October 2006.
 The programme uses the majority of the familiar characters from the traditional Robin Hood legends, notably featuring no appearances by Friar Tuck and Prince John in the first 2 series (although the latter was frequently mentioned as an off-screen character), though introducing them in the third series, portrayed by David Harewood and Toby Stephens respectively.
 Some have been given new back-stories or characteristics not evident in previous versions of the legend.
 A peculiar innovation of this version of Robin Hood is its anachronistic distortion of the ethnic make-up of 12th century England.
 It adds several characters of African and Asian origin, fully integrated into English society.
 While most of these characters are minor, two are members of the Merry Men.
