sawylYay, yay, my package from the Open University has just arrived, so it looks like I'm not going to have to stay in all afternoon waiting for it!
In related news, it seems as though tomorrow sees the last ever broadcast of an OU TV program. I feel like one of the last lingering links with my childhood has been cut — I have this suspicion that, during the 1980s, someone must have brought in a law that required BBC2 to show nothing but test cards or Open University programs at all times, because that's all I can ever remember it showing. All those kipper ties and polyester flares are going to be sadly missed.
