Huh?

#1 Post by Bunnylump » Sat Jan 04, 2014 11:42 pm

Just seriously hoping this is a hoax!!! http://www.itv.com/news/london/update/2 ... d-release/

PS What IS Game of Thrones, anyway?? :?

Hmmm. I guess that question is the current equivalent of asking "Who are the Beatles?" :D (It's a popular series of fantasy books, m'lud, that was turned into a pretty good tv series, albeit one with a higher proportion of sex'n'violence than usual.)

I didn't know what it was either, but I have heard of the Beatles :D

So that explains why you know about it...? :mrgreen: :lol:

Well, in my experience, very little sex'n'violence occurs in Kings Langley. Whatever that Local Councillor might have to say.

I have heard of it, but I couldn't have told you if it was a book / film / TV programme / video game or what!

Well, even I had noticed it amongst the TV schedules (considering how little TV I actually watch!) It was much over-hyped at the time of its launch, but whilst I quite enjoy some types of fantasy novels, I didn't fancy a TV series....

My son and his Godmother have long discussions (usually over dinner, with the rest of us looking on) about this Game of Thrones thing. I think I may be too embarrassed to watch it with them somehow.

Er, possibly. Although if they know you've read 50 Shades, then maybe not. :lol: The tv version is a bit graphic at times though...

I can't be tempted by 50 Shades of Grey. I think detailed descriptions of someone else having sex must be HORRIBLY boring. I don't understand what all the fuss is about!! :lol:

I'll join in with the original discussion ;) I know the title but don't know anything about characters, storyline, or the sex'n'violence. [Now how do you work this series catch-up? :lol: ]

This is as good a place as any to put this. My daughter sent us this link earlier in the week. I thought some of you might be interested.

That's how I always imagined Brian Blessed doing an audio book anyway. :D
