Don't be shy

So yeah, dont be shy to comment, Whats your fave character. Mine would probably have to be Tyrion Lannister.

Live Long Please!

As humorous as this is, after laughing for a good minute my mood has become awfully low now. The thought of not knowing how the epic Game of  Thrones TV series/Book will end is quite upsetting. I'm sure just like the majority of people out there, you'd always want something you started to end properly, maybe in the case of Game of Thrones you may not even want it to end.

Alas every amazing story, has an epic ending. I pray for your health George R. R Martin (is that sad to do? XD)    

Old Man Demands Trial By Combat

This is quite an old news story back from 2002, which has become viral with the recent rise of Tyrion Lannister's trial by combat in the Game of Thrones series

Leon Humphrey a 72 year old (60 at the time the article was published) unemployed mechanic was fined £25 for failing to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) that his motorbike was off the road.

Instead of agreeing to pay the fine, he was taken to court were he demanded a trial by combat and that he shall fight a champion chosen by DVLA

Unfortunately for poor Humphrey not only was he declined of his offer, he was also charged with a new fine of £200 with £100 costs.

Poor Humphrey, although I believe he wouldn't have made much of an impact if the trial were to proceed. It's still sad to know that he was charged 12x his original fine.

An Ingenious Tactic for teachers

This has been reported in many news articles, gaining popularity among many teachers.

The smart Belgian teacher, irritated with his disruptive class asked those in the maths class who watch the popular hit series 'Game of Thrones' to put their hands up. To his surprise he was shocked to see that more than two thirds of the class adored the show.

Seeing as he has read the novels which are obviously ahead of the TV series, he used this advantage to bring the students to silence with a single threat revealing the next character to fall in the series.
