She sent the card (it’s a card now) to her mother (also Queen Elisabeth) when the latter turned 100.

I believe my grandmother waited around for this, at the end. She had never been particularly interested in the monarchy, I’d thought, but when she got older and had trouble reading I noticed that among her large print gardening books were a couple on the monarchy.

The question I want answered is, if she lives to 100 will she send a card to herself?

Her royal assistant will get stuck in a loop sending thank you for contacting the queen messages

And the halting theorem says there is nothing to be done about it!

The UK civil service is actually fairly good, isn't it, or is it just the Internet facing side of it that gets great reviews?

I have also long wondered about this Bertrand Russell paradox.
