The world divides neatly up into two sections as far as I'm concerned. Those who are and those who aren't obsessed with Game of Thrones. If you aren't then the back button is in the top left hand corner and there you can find something you do like including information about Thailand, gay Thailand, world events and many references to 1970s comedy shows as well as a selection of very funny puns, often about bodily functions. If that's your thing.
However if you are then you'll no doubt have imagined yourself as one of the characters in this, the most bestest fantastical and obsessive show of all time. So for the Throneites, who do you see yourself as? Perhaps you're Tyrian Lanister, (played to multi award winning sublimity by Peter Dinklage) the dwarf who's propensity for whores is matched only by his abilities as a political strategist. Maybe you see yourself as Lord Varys (played to perfection by Conleth Hill ) A eunuch who has eyes and ears everywhere, knowing about everyone else's business. Or it's possible you see yourself as Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane (superbly played by Rory McGann) who's default position is angry, forever waving his big sword around but ends up losing to quicker, smarter and more subtle characters.
I'd like to think of myself as Jon Snow (played so brilliantly by Kit Harrington) , the courageous warrior leader charging into battle to defeat all his enemies. But in reality I'm more like Tycho Nestoris (played by the always brilliant Mark Gatiss) the bean counter from The Iron Bank who's allegiance can change overnight. Who might you be.
