The Darlings are to be made CBE's in the Queens Birthday Honours:

The article actually appears to be written by someone who knows something about the subject and the CPC is mentioned. Hoorah!

Nice to see there's been a little research done there at least.

Although the article is obviously written by an Acorn fan. References to the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron. Mastertronic certainly did put a fair few games out on those platforms but I can't think of many if any Codemasters titles for Acorns machines. Dizzy certainly never made it over to Acorns doorstops.

They also credit Sensi to Codies which is pushing it a touch.

Russell T Davies is also to get an OBE.

It'll be the one time he's not the biggest queen in the room.
