    The British Columbia Courts have no online court record entries for custody. The only court entry for Angela Tian is classified motor traffic. A listing for Christopher Hope is unrelated to custody and has a principal unrelated to this. I suspect this is a hoax.

    Minimalists (and other classical composers/musicians)

    This composition was my introduction to Carl Davis. It is the theme to a 13-part documentary miniseries from around 1979-1980. I saw Carl Davis conduct live during my one visit to London at the Dominion Theatre, in 1989, an orchestra performing Chaplin's score for " City Lights." ( i don't care that msc and imelda don't acknowledge my Hollywood theme video. It was a real treat for this North American to see Carl Davis in concert, and hear Spike Milligan do vocal effects live, and yes I have the Hollywood miniseries episodes)

    I used the Countdown method for consonant to vowel ratio, and a combination of additional methods. Countdown would also be a good alternate title for this game.

    George Alagiah was my original #5 placement. Shannen Doherty now rises from the sub bench to #5. Centenarian John Allman Hemingway, Irish pilot for the RAF in WW2, now dodders onto the substitute bench.

    John Goodenough was my original #9 selection on my list. Now that obituaries are leading to scores, I choose for my #1 substitute, Mick Fleetwood, to now reach #9 I'll chance Linda Nolan as my #3 substitute. Merci beaucoup!

    @Lafaucheuse Kindly install Frank Field, the former Labour MP for Birkenhead, as my third position substitute. Your attention and vitesse in this poll are marvellous.

    Refilling my #3 substitute position is my unoriginal choice of Christy Dignam, following the demise of my also unoriginal pick Rolf Harris.
