Even if you get a D in English, Maths or Science you can still normally get onto vocational college courses (BTECs and NVQs.) Most colleges offer "foundation" classes in these subjects to get people up to a grade C level. I know quite a few people who didn't do very well in their GCSE's but they have gone on to suceed…

The Lost Boys know how to throw a rave! Also, Henry looked so stiff and awkward when he started dancing. I wish he'd have gone for it properley like the others... I'm sure it would have been hilarious.

Dismissed?

Sounds like Round the Twist? Don't remember that particular episode with the ear, but the basic premise sounds the same...

Agreed! The end of the Farseer trilogy is so bleak. Poor Fitzy. I don' think that bringing back Dragons at the end of the Tawny Man trilogy was worth everything The Fool had to go through at the hands of The Pale Woman either.

Thirded!

I'm sorry to say I'm sort of on the pessimist train. I think the reason is because on the micro level I currently hate my job and feel like I'm living with a giant ball and chain round my ankle, and then on the macro level most of what I see in the news is poverty and opression and global warming and depleting natural…

To me a strong female character has nothing to do with physical or emotional "strength." It's a female character that is well developed. She has to be three dimensional, and have both flaws and strengths, and her history and experiences have to inform her actions. A female character who is physically and emotionally…

Sam knows that it is Bran in the book. He pets Summer and makes mention of Ghost in the book. In his early Feast chapters he thinks about how he wishes he could tell Jon that Bran isn't dead. but he promised not to.

In my experience all whites taste the same, all reds taste the same and that taste is foul!

Didn't you hear? He fell down a jungle canyon in 2016. Shoddy rope bridge maintenance.

Start doing it for about five or ten minutes or so everyday then gradually increase the time. I was told by my councillor that you only really need to do about 20 minutes or so a day to see benefits to. You can do it in bed first thing in the morning or before you go to sleep.

What ways do you think men "pay for it" aside from money? I think there are loads of ways people can end up "paying" for sex/ a relationship be it physicaly or emotionally and it depends on each individual relationship. I don't think I "pay" for sex with my boyfriend but if I was with another man it could be an…

Ten years had passed since Amy’s heart had played its closing beat. At her funeral people had told Carl that she’d live on in his memories, comforting words but words all the same, and those precious memories of their time together grew fainter with every year that passed. Carl was losing the little things, the chime…

Protect him lord of light. For the GRRM is old and full of cholesterol.

I dream of an ASOIAF anime, each episode would be a chapter from the books. I'd even want all of the Feast chapters included, but maybe the order mixed up with Dance's.

GREYJOY! Possibly the best of the "cliques."

I thought the Baratheon brothers that were in this were supposed to be Renly and Stannis, not Robert. I quite it liked it to be honest, it got a few laughs from me and my housemate. You are right about the title sequence, it's the best bit.

Spoilers for non book readers... but if they have read this far they have been well and truly spoiled anyway it would seem. When the BwB visit High Heart for the second time in ASOS the Ghost of High Heart says "I dreamt of a maid at a feast, with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs." Which I…

yes yes yes agreed so much. when i first heard this last year i was playing it non stop.
