    That notification was on the AIB Mobile app for about 5 months before it updated this week - I think GRRM may have had a hand in the development....

    If GRRM was developing you'd be lucky to have an update in five years, never mind five months :P

    I didn't even know they had released an update, app still works either way.

    Suprised we didn't see the Beetle getting tossed into a crusher in the last scene of the advert.

    Picked up a signed picture of Varys today at Dublin Comic Con for €20, the vendor had loads of different ones no Starks or Lannisters did see a King Robert, Mance and Grand Maester and some Sam but all I could afford was the spider.

    GRRM has updated his not-a-blog with details of the Emmys wins, and made a point of thanking "the dead": all those actors and actresses who have been killed off in the series so far. There certainly many of them. :eek:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Wasn't sure where else to put this, but one of the Game of Thrones graphic novels is a daily deal on kindle today, only 99p! Think it's one of the Dunk & Egg ones.

    Eddie Jackson was on Newstalk breakfast this morning.

    http://www.newstalk.com/podcasts/Breakfast/Highlights_from_Newstalk_Breakfast/136131/New_Game_of_Thrones_cast_member_talks_season_premier

    Truth be told nothing there. Can't say who he's playing or if he'll be back next season.

    Only tidbit given was
    he's based in Mereen
    .
    Though he did later say he would first be in
    episode 5 or 6, which would tie in with the Tower of Joy. SO HOwland Reed?

    It's one of these websites that is made using another website (instead of properly coded). It is broken on Firefox, might work on Chrome (it works on Opera, which is similar to Chrome).

    Very nice analysis though.

    Clams and pigeons count as deaths? That's taking it a little far, I think!

    If you're not a book reader, this season there's no book that the book readers can use to beat you over the head with. Isn't that a relief?

    So I read his reasons and just no
    No Clegane and two spearman on a list of the best swordsmen ?
    The viper on the list having not used a sword yet the man who bet him not on the list ( the only reason the mountain suffered was poison )

    What, from your personal experience, dictates that a sword beat a spear? As the author states, and is echoed in the film Leon, the closer you are to your foe the more danger you're in.
    Also The Mountain was beaten by Oberyn, not by poison which came in later, but by the stab to the chest and the slash to the back of the ankle. But for Oberyn's goading and insistence on getting a confession, the Viper would've walked away from the fight.

    It's a list of swordsmen
    Dario defeated the champion of a city and the city has fighting pits so he has not only killed extras yet the author claimed he had t showed his skills

    Don't know if this has been posted before, but it's still worth another look. Who knew Peter Dinklage could sing?

    Well since we're doing rap videos and this should hopefully come more or less true in the episodes to come...

    Speaking of Game of Thrones actors who can sing
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHfkrxPsUpM


    For any of you who follow both Game of Thrones and Doctor Who, I should point out that Kerry Ingram (Princess Shireen Baratheon) did not play Merry, the Queen of Years in the actual television version of The Rings of Akathen she was just standing in for Emilia Jones for the Proms.
