North is a semi-maniac, but the slam looked better after a diamond lead and E put up the K. Until...

Not so spoiler to leave until after you've made your first club play:
Spoiler


Edit: fixed random spots
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

My (third) guess....
♦A, ruff a ♦ with ♣7, finesse ♣Q ducked (discovering the bad break), ♥AK, finessse ♣J (RHO does best to duck), finesse ♣T, discard a ♥ on ♦Q, finesse ♠Q. Now...
- If ♠Q wins then ruff a ♥, ♠A claim
- if ♠Q is covered then win ♠AJ, ruff a ♥ claim
You need RHO to hold at least three ♥ and three ♦ and two ♠
- If ♠Q loses to ♠K and RHO returns a trump then cash your winners hoping for a major-suit squeeze or ♠ 3-3.

Edit: Oh dear :( Forgot about 3♦ overcall :(.

I'd like to know which diamond was led and how they lead. Seems relevant.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Pretty sure they led the ♦6, 2/4 leads.

After ♦A, ♥A, ♣Q reveals that the minor suit differential and therefore also the major suit differential is only one card, a major suit squeeze is unlikely. On the plus side, LHO is probably 3370 i.e. ♠ may break.

Continue ♣J (and a 3rd ♣ if not covered), try ♠Q winning if covered. Finish pulling trump, cash ♦Q, play ♠s and hope the 10 or 8 comes down within 3 rounds. If the ♠Q lost there is the slight extra chance of a ♦-♠ squeeze if LHO had 108xx,xx,J98xxxx,--. If the ♠Q wins I see nothing better than ♥K, ♣8, ♣, ♦Q, and then ♠J catering for ♠3-3 or K10xx or K8xx on the left.

Semi-maniac was an underbid.
