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.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Rockets · Posted

      Two wrongs don't make a right. Labour ran on a manifesto of "we aren't like them" and "we are different" and"you can trust us/we will restore faith in politics". They are doing nothing to convince anyone that any of those promises are being met - they are letting everyone down. u-turning on everything and are fast-tracking the doomsday scenario of a Reform government. Even the runway on the "it's all the Tories fault" is running out. I dislike politicians because they cannot be trusted and Rayner just highlighted that with ribbons on. She should have been so careful after the focus on the electoral roll issues she had with the house in Ashton-under-Lyne and then under a year later this comes up. Clearly the advice she took included a recommendation to take proper advice that she failed to do - that's just daft and the most galling thing is that she didn't just resign when this came up - she tried to spin out of it but must have known she was toast. Trust is fast being eroded. I desperately want Labour and Starmer to fix this because the alternative it too scary to think about but the way things are going they are fast-tracking Farage into No.10. Labour are letting us all down.

      So you are also old enough to remember the Heath Out protest by the TUC when unemployment hit 1 million? We all have selective memories, this thread is no different. Please give me a list of the Labour sleaze. And compare it to the Tories.  There are a few of you who appear to have a long term dislike of Labour, so all this is a gift.
