Sir Terry Pratchett–The System Works!

I am thrilled at this great news, which shows that occasionally The System Works in the older provinces of the Anglo-American empire.

Discworld News December 2008
Folks,

There are times when the phrase “Absolutely, totally, gobsmackingly, mindbogglingly amazed” just doesn’t cover it, but I find that in the Queen’s New Year Honours list I am now a Knight, for services to literature.  This means that fans, while not calling me Sir, must now refrain from throwing things.  Regrettably, no sword is included in the box

What more can a modest Knight say?

Happy New Year, which on Discworld is the Year of the Pensive Hare.

PS – We have had about twenty film crews through the office today and so you should be able to catch some footage on one channel or another.
