Just back from seeing Anglia Ruskin Theatrical Soc's production of Going Postal down at the Cambridge Junction. Absolutely great fun, and overall pretty faithful to the book's plot; Stephen Briggs does a very good job of adapting Pratchett, and here managed to keep a lot of TP's unsubtle digs at privatisation and management-speak. The predominately female cast made for some interesting variations on the characters (Lady Vetinari jarred at first, but actually worked well); von Lipwig came over very well, whilst Stanley took pimply-faced youthful enthusiasm to quite scary new heights.

And talking of post, I now have a letter from Edinburgh University with an unconditional offer of acceptance for my LLM course, thus finally resolving this little panic. Phew, and on now with starting my admissions admin.

quite possibly my favourite Discworld novel, that. Our mail server is called Moist ...

(our whole LAN/WAN is named after Pratchett characters, as are our cats.)
