Hrm, not so sure. If the club can have a thousand year lease ala Guinness then that'll be fine. Still feels mad that the land was worth €150m 7 years ago.

Alternative is selling up to the highest bidder for say 10m max, clearing debts and having nowhere to go. Money owed to Zurich, deal arranged with them to wait it out for best deal for both parties, this looks to be the only option at this stage.

How much would finding land in town and building a 10k seater cost?

A lot, when we were looking at selling for 60m we were still looking at Abbotstown or near the airport as potential venues.

One that had cropped up a couple of times was going into Grangegorman with DIT I think it was but think those plans were shelved.

Has any English man been loved half as much in this country as Big Jack?

Could probably lower that to 25% tbh. Genuine question. Any answers?

Good ep if a little uneven,I've really enjoyed this season. Definetly going to have to read the books though,you can see that they are really straining to cram it all in. Could have done with a lot less of aryas story and the dorne bits are pretty flat.

What are book fans feelings on how the writers are departing from the books storyline? Eg

No problem with changes per se, but so many of them don't make logical sense and appear very contrived and almost soap style, where characters forget what they said last week if an opposite action is needed to drive the plot forward this week.

It's not a change so much as this hasn't happened yet in the books. The whole boats to pick up the wildlings also hasn't happened in the books. I guess the fact that dorne is such a big part must mean they will be important to the end.

Tough to tell how bulletproof stainis is now in the upcoming fight against the boltons. Thought since he is a legend and had the red haired preistess he was set to make it till close to the end but now that he is burning his kid alive who was the only person he showed any actual love for - earned respect is kinda different I t think he will go soon.

This. All of the additions and changes are clumsy at best. The thing about GRRM is that he doesn't shock you for the sake of shocking you - every big event has a carefully crafted purpose and meaning. Last nights episode seemed like it was just being shocking for the sake of shocking.

Book stuff:

SPOILER

They could have at least had Melisandre explain a bit about the legends of the forging of Lightbringer, and the sacrifice that Azor Ahai made to save the world. At least then there would be a driving narrative.

I also thought the way they handled

SPOILER

Danaerys' first dragonride was terrible. It looks like she closes her eyes and summons Drogon. That's fucking retarded and compeltely ill fitting with the narrative. the way it went in the book was soooo much better. It almost made slogging through the rest of her storyline seem worth the payoff.

It was horrible the death of Shireen but I think there is a big thing happening and we need Stannis to be less liked. I don't think he will die any time soon and think he will be the one to end Melisandras life when he realises he killed his daughter for nothing.

I think the writers want us to root for Dany instead of Stannis so wanted us to hate him. I haven't read the books yet but plan to!

Can't wait till next Monday, think it will be an epic finale

ya he is sitting under a tree surounded by living skeletons.

I think your right somewhat about Stanis and now he is basically the mad king burning people for no reason whereas Danny will have a dragon so will literally have attempted to sacrifice herself in the flames when the eggs hatched and been rewarded while stanis is being prodded down the burning road so won't get the full payoff.

Either way it opens her return up to telling people my dad may have been mad for burning people but look at this guy currently burning people better support me.

It it reasonable to think at this point that Melisandra may not actually be on his side?

No book spoilers, but I'm obviously biased by my readings:

SPOILER

Her motivations are certainly questionable at this point. I would say that Melisandre serves only her god. She's basically a zealot. His flames have told her that Stannis is Azor Ahai reborn, so she serves Stannis, but if the flames told her to murder him tomorrow she would do that without question.

[Jam-Fly]

he's had the hippy thing going a few years at this stage. Tbf, anything that he has written that I've read has been very articulate, intelligent and well thought out, so I wouldn't quite write him off as a looney.

note: I have not read Yoga of Poker, can't beat that tag line though.

GOT - latest episode thoughts

SPOILER

I just wonder what will happen when Ser Davos gets back from castle black. I think he may be the next "victim" of the evil red woman as he will say some home truths to Stannis about what he did.

What I don't get is the kings blood thing. With Roberts bastard I get the kings blood as he was his son, but Robert usurped the throne and Stannis is only calling himself a king so really is he one? I think the sacrifice of Shireen will have been in vane and it will hit him very very hard when he realises it. Then I hope he kills that bitch! unless his wife gets in there first...

Exhausted by this novel idea of turning up in the office everyday and putting in a full day, as is expected here. Don't think I've turned up to a workplace for five days in a row for about seven years. How do those of you who do it, do it without going mad?

Have 10 days of holliers until December seems impossibly little. Weird scheme here whereby you accumulate your holidays (some of them, theres a few different types of holiday days) during the first year for use in the second year. Doesn't quite make sense to me. But it means that from June 1st 2016 I've 60 days holidays that have to be taken (have to be apparently as its a 'right, but also an obligation'), but an awfully long wait until then.

Oh woe!

That holiday thing is the same in Belgium...very strange. I typically take a week at Christmas and 2 in Summer but will probably be zero this year as we're not going away.
Sure the working life of an academic is as good as a holiday when compared with most people...
Don't worry...going to work gets a lot easier when you've 2 kids.

Mostly I go mad. Madness can be limited with long lunchbreaks and plenty of slacking. Come in as late as you are allowed but make sure you are one of the last to leave. Make up for the slacking with short bursts of extreme productivity.

Stating the obvious, but (a) make sure it's a job you like, and (b) make sure your commute is less than 10 minutes each way. Get those right, and having limited holiday days isn't much of an issue either.

Speaking of jobs; I just finished my first week in a boarding school here. I have never seen wealth like it in my life. Lots of Russian kids here from peeps Putin locked up, kids masserattis in the car park, if you have ever wondered why rich superstar people end up topping themselves this is the place to say. Good lols one day in the dining hall when they were told Ok so today we are doing water skiing as an activity and there was a collective groan as they are so bored by it. Obscene.
Plus points are over 180 days off a year. and living in THE most beautiful, serene surroundings.
