Oh, You young person you. The first game in that series was released in 1986, so anybody under 40 should've been associating the male given name Link with the franchise as soon as they saw it on that list.

Chester Wilmot, Australian historian and broadcaster killed in one of the Comet I crashes. Don’t forget the insufferably smug and obnoxious former English table tennis champion Chester Barnes. There is also the old Music Hall joke: Knock knock! Who’s there? Chester. Chester who? Chester song at twilight.,.

West Suffolk 2019. C 36 Ind 15 West Suffolk Ind 7 Lab 5 Grn 1. New council. Barningham, Barrow, Exning, Ixworth, Manor, Pakenham and Troston, Stanton and Withersfield were uncontested. Split wards in 2019 were: Abbeygate: Grn/C Clare, Hundon and Kedington: 2C/1Ind Haverhill East: Ind/Lab Haverhill South: Ind/Lab Lakenheath: Ind/C Moreton Hall: 2Ind/1C Newmarket North: West Suffolk Ind/C; the Conservative councillor was subsequently elected as MP for Aberconwy in north Wales, and the Conservatives held the resulting by-election St Olaves: Ind/Lab Tollgate: Ind/Lab The Labour candidate for Brandon East was Andy Erlam, the driving force behind the election petition that unseated Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman in 2015. Eastgate ward was extremely close: the Labour candidate won with 228 votes and the other two candidates (a Conservative and an independent) tied for second place on 225 votes each. By-election results for St Edmundsbury 2003-19 have also been added in this update.

Straying from pretty UK maps for a moment, this is an interesting website, with many ingenious maps and widgets. I particularly like this one which creates 50 US States of equal population size (this will have the federalists frothing at the mouth!) fakeisthenewreal.org/reform/

Stoke-on-Trent 2019. Lab 16 (-5) C 15 (+8) City Ind 12 (-2) Ind 1 (+1) UKIP 0 (-2). Changes based on 2015: City Ind gain from Lab Burslem Park Hollybush and Longton West C gain from City Ind Baddeley, Milton and Norton (1) Eaton Park Hanford and Trentham (1) C gain from Lab Blurton East Blurton West and Newstead Broadway and Longton East Goldenhill and Sandyford Meir South Ind gain from UKIP Fenton West and Mount Pleasant Lab gain from City Ind Little Chell and Stanfield Lab gain from UKIP Abbey Hulton and Townsend (1) Split wards in 2019 were: Abbey Hulton and Townsend: CityInd/Lab The postponed poll result for the former Northwood and Birches Hill ward in 2002 has also been added to LEAP in this update. For all the entertainment Stoke has given us over the years, there have been relatively few local by-elections here: just five other polls since 2002 with none since 2013, plus the parliamentary by-election in Stoke Central in 2017.

We have one, Moorcroft, outstanding. (I should know this, but do you go from what people were last elected as rather than what they stood for this time?)
