Wow, it is hard to keep up with this thread, you go away to sleep and come back and the topic has changed 14 times!
I think I will save my gross-out stories until a natural opportunity to share comes up
Anyway, this is back a few pages, but Noelle, I am another HUGE GoT fan! We get the episodes three hours after the US (this is like, unheard of in NZ, usually we're a couple of weeks behind). I have to say, you can have Alfie, though. Gimme Jamie Lannister. Although, my friend and I were having a conversation the other day about whether it's weirder to be attracted to Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) or NOT to be attracted to him. In the end, we decided it was weirdest not to be uneasily ambivalent about him - both attracted and not attracted, and uncomfortable about both.
I also watched the first series of The Following through to the end even though I thought it was pretty silly. For a while I couldn't understand why I was still watching, but eventually I realised that it was because I really like Kevin Bacon and was desperate for his first TV series not to be a loser. So I had to give it a chance to redeem itself. Sadly, no.
