@TonySantojr While that particular arrangement has a small chance of appearing, really the same can be said about any selection of cards. And there are MANY ways to lose at Blackjack so having lost everything, he can't blame it on a fluke occurrence.
@BBCWestScot No it wasn't dropped. The case was dismissed.
"Dropped" makes it sound like it was a prosecutorial decision. No, the PF was there prosecuting (on the public payroll). The judge (also on the payroll) threw it out. What a fantastic waste of public resources.
@MartinSLewis I've not been able to log in.
But I'm concerned that someone else (maybe multiple people) will have been able to see my account transactions. Will there be any way of Lloyds being able to trace who has seen who's transactions? Or will we just never know? It's a scandal!
@VarunNishak@manaman_chhina Should be fine. The wheels are only needed while the plane is on the ground which is a very small fraction of the whole journey.
O Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Mother of God and our Mother,
Queen of Nigeria and Refuge of Sinners,
We turn to you today with heavy hearts,
as terror has struck the innocent once more in Nigeria.
In the early hours of this very day, November 21, 2025,
armed men invaded St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools
in Papiri, Niger State,
and carried away precious children—your little ones—
along with their teachers and a brave security guard who was gravely wounded.
O Blessed Mother, you who stood beneath the Cross
and felt the sword pierce your own soul,
look upon these frightened boys and girls,
these young students torn from their beds in the dead of night.
Wrap them now in your holy mantle,
shield them from all harm of body and soul,
calm their fears, dry their tears,
and let them feel your gentle presence as you once cradled the Child Jesus through danger in Egypt.
Intercede, dear Mother, with your Divine Son,
the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one who is lost.
Move the hearts of those who hold these children captive,
soften the hardness that blinds them,
and guide the steps of the security forces combing the forests for their safe return.
Confound every plan of evil,
close every path of escape for the attackers,
and open wide the way home for every abducted soul.
Mary, Star of the Sea,
shine your light over Niger State and the whole of Nigeria,
a country that has seen too many tears shed over its sons and daughters.
Protect all Christian communities under threat,
strengthen the faith of those who suffer for the Name of your Son,
and hasten the day when our children can learn and play without fear.
We entrust these kidnapped lambs especially into your Immaculate Heart:
the little ones of St. Mary’s Primary and Secondary Schools,
their devoted teachers, and the wounded guard.
Bring them back unharmed to their families,
let no lasting harm come to them,
and turn even this sorrow into a testimony of God’s mercy.
Holy Mary, Mother of Mercy,
pray for us,
pray for Nigeria,
pray for the swift and safe return of these children.
Amen.
@CraigB1175@BakerL1C4 You know that do you? You investigate air crashes?
You can, for example, say that there's no point doing chemical analysis of the charred edges to determine what might have fuelled the fire, be that aviation fuel or something else?
@airmainengineer Unclear question. The diagram explains it but the phrase "along this direction" could mean anything. Along the hypotenuse (as per diagram)? Along the horizontal (as the last direction mentioned in the question)? Question setters shouldn't rely on diagrams to resolve ambiguity.
Isnt it ironic, @scotfamparty, that the Church of England's first ever pro-abortion Archbishop of Canterbury is to be installed on the feast that celebrates the most important conception in human history?
The Installation of the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally, will take place at Canterbury Cathedral on Wednesday 25 March 2026, the Feast of the Annunciation.
