The grey seal is found on both shores of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is a large seal of the family Phocidae which are referred to as "true seals" or "earless seals", it is the only species classified in the genus Halichoerus. Its name is spelled gray seal in the US. There are two recognised subspecies of this seal: Halichoerus grypus grypus, earlier known as H. g. macrorhynchus and H. g. balticus Halichoerus grypus atlantica The type specimen of H. g. grypus was rediscovered in 2016, a DNA test showed it belonged to a Baltic Sea specimen rather than from Greenland, as had been assumed. The name H. g. grypus was therefore transferred to the Baltic subspecies, the name H. g. atlantica resurrected for the Atlantic subspecies. Molecular studies have indicated that the eastern and western Atlantic populations have been genetically distinct for at least one million years, could be considered as separate subspecies; this is a large seal, with bulls in the eastern Atlantic populations reaching 1.95–2.3 m long and weighing 170–310 kg.

Individuals from the western Atlantic are much larger, with males averaging up to 2.7 m and reaching a weight of as much as 400 kg and females averaging up to 2.05 m and sometimes weighing up to 250 kg. Record sized. A common average weight in Great Britain was found to be about 233 kg for males and 154.6 kg for females whereas in Nova Scotia, Canada adult males averaged 294.6 kg and adult females averaged 224.5 kg. It is distinguished from the smaller harbour seal by its straight head profile, nostrils set well apart, fewer spots on its body. Wintering hooded seals can be confused with grey seals as they are about the same size and somewhat share a large-nosed look but the hooded has a paler base colour and evidences a stronger spotting. Grey seals lack external ear characteristically have large snouts. Bull Greys have a less curved profile than common seal bulls. Males are darker than females, with lighter patches and scarring around the neck. Females are silver grey to brown with dark patches.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the grey seal breeds in several colonies on and around the coasts. Notably large colonies are at Blakeney Point in Norfolk, Donna Nook in Lincolnshire, the Farne Islands off the Northumberland Coast and North Rona. off the north coast of Scotland, Lambay Island off the coast of Dublin and Ramsey Island off the coast of Pembrokeshire. In the German Bight, colonies exist on Heligoland. In the Western North Atlantic, the grey seal is found in large numbers in the coastal waters of Canada and south to Nantucket in the United States. In Canada, it is seen in areas such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Maritimes, Quebec; the largest colony in the world is at Sable Island, NS. In the United States it is found year-round off the coast of New England, in particular Maine and Massachusetts. Archaeological evidence confirms grey seals in southern New England with remains found on Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and near the mouth of the Quinnipiac River in New Haven, Connecticut.

Its natural range now extends much further south than recognised with confirmed sightings in North Carolina. There is a report by Farley Mowat of historic breeding colonies as far south as Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. An isolated population exists in the Baltic Sea. Besides these large colonies, many much smaller ones exist, some of which are well known as tourist attractions despite their small size; such colonies include one on the Carrack rocks in Cornwall. During the winter months grey seals can be seen hauled out on rocks and shoals not far from shore coming ashore to rest. In the spring weaned pups and yearlings strand on beaches after becoming separated from their group. Grey seals are vulnerable to typical predators for a pinniped mammal. Large sharks are known to prey on grey seals in Canada great white sharks but upon evidence, additionally Greenland sharks. In the waters of Great Britain, grey seals are a common prey species for killer whales. Grey seal pups are sometimes taken alive by white-tailed eagles, as well.

The grey seal feeds on a wide variety of fish benthic or demersal species, taken at depths down to 70 m or more. Sand eels are important in its diet in many localities. Cod and other gadids, herring and skates are important locally. However, it is clear that the grey seal will eat whatever is available, including octopus and lobsters; the average daily food requirement is estimated to be 5 kg, though the seal does not feed every day and it fasts during the breeding season. Recent observations and studies from Scotland, The Netherlands and Germany show that grey seals will prey and feed on large animals like harbour seals and harbour porpoises. In 2014, a male grey seal in the North Sea was documented and filmed killing and cannibalising 11 pups of its own species over the course of a week. Similar wounds on the carcasses of pups found elsewhere in the region suggest that cannibalism and infanticide may not be uncommon in grey seals. Male grey sea

The Real Club de la Puerta de Hierro known as Puerta de Hierro, is a private country club, based in Madrid, Spain. It owes its name to the nearby iron memorial arch situated in El Pardo, it was founded in 1895 as a polo club by a group of prominent Spanish nobles led by the 16th Duke of Alba, with avid support from the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII. Along with the Ritz Hotel, its foundation took place as an effort to equal the likes of the most luxurious venues of London and Paris. In 1904, Harry Colt and Tom Simpson designed in the club what was to become mainland Spain's first golf course, "el de arriba". In 1966, Robert Trent Jones Jr. and John Harris designed the second course, "el de abajo". The golf courses at Puerta de Hierro have hosted the Spain Open, Madrid Open, the 1970 Eisenhower Trophy and the 1981 Vagliano Trophy, are considered "one of the finest and most classic courses in continental Europe". Besides golf, the club has a long-recorded history and sections in the fields of Equestrianism, Padel and Swimming.

Puerta de Hierro is well known for its strict membership policy. For more than 30 years, admission remains closed; as a result, the club has been referred to as "the most exclusive and segregated club not only in Spain, but in the world, were one can fraternize with the restrictive high society of Madrid". Groucho Marx's quote, "I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member" has been used to describe the club's sought-after membership. On June 23, 1940, Edward VIII visited Madrid as Duke of Windsor; the purpose of this extra-official visit, in the midst of the German invasion of France, was to negotiate possible alliances with Nazi Germany from Axis-leaning Spain. On June 24, The Duke of Windsor spent the day at Puerta de Hierro, where he played golf and attended a St John's Eve party at the club accompanied by the Marquess of Estella, son of former dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera and brother of José Antonio Primo de Rivera. During the celebration, Windsor was surprised with news from a British aristocrat who owned wineries in Spain and had returned from London.

As he was told, his brother King George VI had granted an Earldom to former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who he loathed. He complained "why on earth would Bertie reward such nauseating reptile?". The Duke of Windsor would return to the club on several occasions, most notably in 1960, when he famously played golf under pouring rain. 1895 – 1896 The Duke of Alba 1896 – 1901 The Duke of Arión 1901 – 1905 The Duke of Santoña 1905 – 1931 The Duke of Alba 1931 – 1932 The Marquess of Portago 1932 – 1936 Rafael Silvela y Tordesillas 1939 – 1944 Joaquín Santos-Suárez y Jabat 1944 – 1950 Rafael Silvela y Tordesillas 1950 – 1952 The Count of Fontanar 1952 – 1954 The Duke of Lécera 1954 – 1958 The Count of Fontanar 1958 – 1962 The Duke of Frías 1962 – 1966 H.

The song is referenced in the Sports Night episode "Celebrities" and the song title is directly used as the title of an episode from Season 1. When Goody Rickles comically mangles the name of the deadly compound "Pyrogranulate" in the comic book Jimmy Olsen 139, by Jack Kirby, what comes out is "Pyro-Glocca-Morra". In an episode of All in the Family, Archie Bunker refers to New York City as a "regular Sodom and Glocca Morra." In "A Shift in the Night", an episode of "ER", Dr. Mark Greene asks a colleague "How are things in Glocca Morra?"

Dan Frawley was a pioneer Australian rugby league footballer, a national representative player. He played his career as a wing with the Eastern Suburbs club in Sydney and is considered one of the nation's finest footballers of the 20th century. A fast and agile wing, with an ability to effortlessly change direction, Frawley was at club and representative levels positioned on the outside of rugby league Immortal Dally Messenger, creating a formidable combination, he was a noted speedster who, on the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, was acclaimed as the "100 yards champion" of the squad. Of Irish parentage, Frawley grew up in the inner Sydney harbourside suburb of Woolloomooloo, he served as a Trooper in the 3rd Battalion, Australian Commonwealth Horse during the Second Boer War in South Africa. He first experienced rugby union during his time in South Africa and was chosen in a Commonwealth Serviceman's team which competed against a representative Australian side. In 1908 back in Sydney, Frawley turned to the new professional code and in rugby league's early years he was one of the game's most exciting players.

In the 1908 NSWRFL season Frawley played in Easts' first match and was selected to represent City New South Wales against Queensland. He missed his club's appearance in the final at the end of the season as he had been selected to go on the inaugural Kangaroo tour of 1908-09 playing in two Tests and 22 tour matches, he scored 13 tries on the tour. Frawley spent the Australian summer of 1909-10 playing in the 1909–10 Northern Rugby Football Union season with English club Warrington, after having signed with them during the previous year's Kangaroo Tour, his sign-on fee was 125 pounds. And a further 3 pounds, 5 shillings a week during the season. Frawley played in 19 matches for Warrington club scoring 8 tries. After returning to Australia in 1910 Frawley made a guest appearance for England team in their tour match against Newcastle, he played in Easts' first premiership-winning side of NSWRL season 1911. When he toured England a second time, with the 1911–12 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain a dispute broke out over his playing eligibility due to an outstanding contractual matter from his 1909–10 Northern Rugby Football Union season spell with Warrington.

The dispute saw him miss the first part of the tour, but after being granted a clearance Frawley scored 18 tries in the remaining 12 matches. Frawley won a second premiership with the Eastern Suburbs club the following year. Frawley was a member of the first NSW sides to tour New Zealand in 1912 and 1913, he took out a third consecutive premiership in NSWRL season 1913. This gave the club permanent ownership of the New South Wales Rugby League's first trophy, the Royal Agricultural Society Shield. Frawley captained the side in his final season 1914, the year, his penultimate Test match against England was the first Test to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and his final Test match in Sydney in 1914 was the famous'Rorke's Drift Test' in which England, reduced to just 10 men, held out to win the match 14-6 and with it the series. All up he played a total of fifty-nine first grade matches for his club side Eastern Suburbs and in seven Test matches for Australia, making two Kangaroo Tours, he was awarded Life Membership of the New South Wales Rugby League in 1914.

He appeared in an Australian film In the Last Stride. Frawley was said to be quick-witted and competitive in nature, he appears to have been one of the game's earliest sledgers. Former teammate Horrie Miller, many years recalled "I remember Dan walking onto the field one day against a champion winger; the first thing he did was to go up to him and say'I saw your dad this morning. He asked me not to dump you too hard.' later in the game, having dumped his rival hard from an offside position, he jawed at him,'so you're so-and-so, the great international winger. Well, I got you that time. I don't think you're so hot'." Frawley, an emergency for the rebel series against the New Zealand'All Golds', was made a life member of the New South Wales Rugby League for his role in the series that helped to establish rugby league in this country. For many years he worked at the NSW Leagues Club in Sydney as Chief Steward. In The First Kangaroos, a 1988 British–Australian made for TV sports film, Frawley's role was played by Tony Martin.

In February 2008, Frawley was named in the list of Australia's 100 Greatest Players, commissioned by the NRL and ARL to celebrate the code's centenary year in Australia. On his death in 1967, the Rugby League News called Frawley "one of rugby league's most colourful identities" and declared that "he would have been an immortal in the code's history for any one of a number of just reasons."
