I've just waded my way through all 4000ish pages of Game of Thrones and I'm wondering if the TV series is as unrelentingly violent as the books? Because it gets pretty grim.


Also I don't know if Inkman could bear it if I started watching it as well, as he's just had to endure several weeks of me muttering "Can't talk, reading." and it's not really his sort of thing.

we don't have Sky, I've watched the first 2 series on DVD. Does Sky Atlantic have ad breaks (I know HBO doesn't)? Because I could not watch it with ads, they do my head in.


It's pretty violent. I read the first 2 books, but now I'm watching it I don't want to read it, if that makes sense.


'can't talk, reading' is my normal state. A couple of weeks back I was irritated beyond belief that Mr Oi wanted to spend breakfast-time talking. Talking!!! This is my reading time, goddammit! (Miss Oi was still in bed). I Was Cross.

Robb Stark. Obviously.


And Eric Northam forevah. A pox upon annoying Vampire Bill. And wet and wimpy 'Sookeh', which, incidentally, is the most ridicolous name, ever.


I can't really talk, my taste in TV crushes is pretty abysmal. This is coming from someone who watched every episode of Broadwalk Empire I could get my hands on and fancied...Nucky Thompson. Not Jimmy. Not, er, that Irish one (Owen, I think?). Even had a bit of a glad eye for Meyer Lansky. I am sick.

both if them?? That's just greedy.


I also stopped watched BH after Mitchell imploded in a cloud of greasy hair. (also, I just could not believe in his romance with Annie. At All.) I thought my heart would then belong to Kili but he was so blown out of the water by the diviness that is Thorin.


Bishop - my liking of Bill is definitely influenced by his hair, he is a vampire that can't carry of bad hair (season 2, I'm thinking of you). Eric, on the other hand, can carry off anything, me included.

Pregnancy definitely having odd effect on me, was watching a music doc on BBC4 recently and found Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin (late sixties footage) unbelievably attractive. In fact any hairy man in any of the footage looked unusually fine. Apart from that it's Hathaway in Lewis.

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
