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.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks.

      Milk delivery

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo
