Well the Queen of diamonds let you down, she was just an empty fable.
The Queen of hearts you say you never met.

Happy birthday. Many years ago picked up our then 3 week old, said 'Are you going to wish Daddy Happy Birthday' at which point she was sick all over me, and the dog, who was so traumatised that for months afterwards he ran out of the room if she burped.

Once overheard a conversation at the returns counter in Asda. Wife had gone away and bought hubby three ready meals, all with short dates. He'd eaten one out of order and expected them to replace the one that was now out of date

If you're still there Yemen Heaven is a very good restaurant with a great back story. Jay Rayner recommended it in one of his last Observer columns

The moving finger writes,
and having writ, moves on.
Nor all thy piety nor wit,
Shall call it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.

I was very lucky. It was the tour to promote Hotel California and I can still close my eyes and remember some of the details.

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

If they had any sympathy for the victims they would have insisted that the proper legal processes take place, and, if he was exonerated he could then come back and carry on as normal. Instead they've tried to shield him until it affects the rest of them, then dumped him to protect themselves.

I agree they are incompetent, but they won't be writing the code and implementing the system, so I think that's a moot point. Most of what's required (code, infrastructure) already exists in other systems, so it could be done quite quickly, and competence isn't an issue, just political will.

I have to say I think this is a weird argument. If there is a reform govt they could implement digital ID anyway (regardless of manifesto commitments) so Starmer not doing it affects the future how?

Any idea why Govt won't legislate? Is it simply down to parliamentary time or are there other reasons?
