The Vegas episode reminded me of Frasier, the contrived stories and big finishes. It was excellent, the outstanding one of the series for me.

Well, no. The non-attender could have gotten higher marks through better learning. The attender has done their best and tried their hardest.

Quite possibly. But is the non-attender had attended, he or she would probably get a higher grade. Impressions really do count.

The lecture point is interesting. I became a lecturer in August and started teaching in September. My experience of lecturing to classes at that point was zero. However, the Uni have put me through a course on ways to enhance learning through teaching. Talking off notes for an hour is simply wrong and would bore students and lecturers alike. I recommend attendance. You learn more by hearing and reading information than just one or the other. Also, in exam boards (which we are having now) if it's marginal on a grade - let's say someone averages 69% but needs 70% for a First - then the student who attended will get it and the student who didn't won't. It's a demonstration of effort.

Jesus Suffering f**k!

So the big question (for me) from the finale... Is Red her dad, or did Red save her from the fire while her dad died?

You should read the books

That was me. In just 4 weeks time I get to go all romantic with a plastic cup.

Found some plagiarism today. Raging. Utterly raging. Can someone please put that Jim Jeffries 'Seething' gif up for me to show how utterly raging I am at this fuckwit who thinks he can take a dissertation from 2011, re-write it line by line and not get caught.

My wee one's birthday is on Friday and she's getting excited. She woke up this morning saying "did I sleep for four sleeps?"

Thanks!

I really, really dislike it when shows start with something (in this case a fight scene) then fade out to "12 weeks earlier". Kinda spoiled the series a little for me.

How do you do spoilers on threads?

They're showing old Doctor Who on the Horror channel

Holy Christ...dissertation marking. Sucks the time and life out of you.

I took my dad to see Episode 1 when it came out. Sat through all the boring driss, and just as the fight at the end was about to start the fire alarm went off. Time I will never get back.

I changed my storage heaters for a wet electric system about 2 years ago. Overall the bills are down a little bit (maybe 10% less energy use). But the house is colder. No denying that, compared to the old storage heaters. Hot water comes in, well, hot. No difference there.

I was thinking an old family photo of the two of them, or something like that. Cracking episode. Good to see Tom unmasked and getting really violent. Why break the thumb?

My littlest came in to bed with us again last night. She managed to kick me whilst sleeping. Let me just say she caught me with a glancing blow, barely even catching the nut. Tears. Real tears.

Well, without giving away a spoiler, there's quite a lot in the books that haven't made it to screen. Wouldn't be surprised if the actress had a clause in the contract for this, too. Sorry if I offended anyone. I saw the earlier post about explosive diahorrea and thought it was OK to give hints as to future things.

OK...what plot? And how is that any worse than Carl Cort's Hamstring saying that Daenerys gets the runs?

How is that part of a "plot"? It's an event. Next week - Tyrion drinks from a cup. The week after - Jaime wears a cloak and walks about a bit.

Question. In A Feast for Crows Cersei does the long naked walk across King's Landing. Can we expect that?

I watched the movie a few weeks back and thought it was OK. Don't see what the whole slavering adulation is about. Liked this show a lot more. Different story, different characters. Usually I can't stand Billy Bob Thornton. The name usually puts me off a movie, but he really, really stole the show in this. The little practical jokes - phoning the guy's son, the gas tank - had me laughing a lot.
