  1. I was actually just thinking that there. The first series was identical to the story from the books, but as the series have gone on, more and more changes have been made. FWIW, it's not a crazy, surprising spoiler. In the books you could see it coming.
  2. That's because all the non-idiots realise that it's February, and that there's going to be a lot of wind and rain, especially by the sea!!
  3. I'm shit-feart that Martin is going to kick it before he gets the rest of the books finished. The man's old as f**k, and a fat b*****d as well. Apparently he has told the show's directors/producers/writers how he is planning to end the story in case that does happen, so we should have the series at least.
  4. Brilliant thread and brilliant picture. And look at those strips. I nearly jizzed when we wore these in that Leeds friendly a few years ago
  5. Mine are based on the books: 1. Tyrion Lannister 2. Jamie Lannister 3. Varys 4. Bronn 5. Strong Belwas
  6. Mario Puzo's 'The Sicilian' The novel is a follow up to 'The Godfather', based on the latter part of Michael Corleone's time spent in Sicily after killing Sollozzo and the police chief in the preceding book. Michael is tasked by his father with trying to bring an outlaw from the island home to America. The book switches between present day (1950) and the story of the earlier life of the bandit, Salvatore Giuiliano, who is based on a real person of the same name ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Giuliano ). It's an absolutely cracking read and one of my favourite ever books, although I must admit I am a massive fan of Puzo and The Godfather (book/films). It fills in a bit of a gap in the original story which I felt was maybe rushed over a little. It also gives a brilliant insight into the history of Sicily itself, with its crippling poverty and the struggle of its citizens to deal with the oppression of the mafia and from Rome itself. 10/10 from me
