yes but she was DEFFO looking him up, hence the comment from blackwater. The book list is longer but its in effect just about empty. Gregor His men captured Arya and other smallfolk Dead Stabbed by Prince Oberyn with a poisoned spear during Tyrion Lannister's trial of combat at King's Landing (Arya currently is unaware of his death and Gregor is still on her list) Dunsen StoleGendry's horned helmet Alive Polliver Stole Needlefrom Arya Dead Killed by The Hound at the Crossroads Inn Chiswyck Boasted of his participation in the gang rape ofLayna Dead Pushed off a wall by Jaqen H'ghar atHarrenhal on the orders of Arya Raff the Sweetling Killed Lommy Greenhands Dead Killed by Arya under the identity of Mercy in Braavos TheTickler Tortured captives during questioning Dead Killed by Arya at the Crossroads Inn The Hound Killed Mycah Dead Succumbed to his infected wounds after the fight at the Crossroads Inn (Arya had removed his name from her list prior to his death, but did not grant him the mercy of a quick death) SerAmory Killed Yoren Dead Killed by Vargo Hoat's bear in the bear pit at Harrenhal Ser Ilyn BeheadedEddard Starkon the orders of KingJoffrey Alive SerMeryn Killed Syrio Forel Alive KingJoffrey Ordered the execution ofEddard Stark Dead Poisoned with The Strangler at his own wedding feast by Olenna Tyrell in co-operation with Petyr Baelish QueenCersei Involved in the death ofEddard Stark Alive Weese Violently abused Arya Dead Killed by his own dog under Jaqen H'ghar's influence on the orders of Arya ......................... So a lot of the list is kind of pointless to the 7th season isn't it? Illy payne Cercei The hound (who se prob will meet in season 7) Sir gregor Its actually pretty short...... Payne isn't a real important character so he's prob just one of the last to go before cercei. Its really cercei as her target.... It'd be nice to see a few more. Go though the knights getting closer to cercei This is why i just think the way she looked at jamie was interesting.
Why I asked to be tear-gassed at Porton Down please log in to view this image Dr Michael Mosley in a laboratory at Porton Down, the chemical warfare testing facility in Wiltshire where CS gas was developed in the 1960s CREDIT: BBC Michael Mosley 26 JUNE 2016 • 6:00AM Terror attacks in Europe mean the British security services will be on high alert this summer. Quietly supporting them will be scientists from the Britain’s most controversial and most secret military research centre, Porton Down. Scientists from Porton were among the first to create biological weapons as well as one of the world’s most lethal chemical weapons. These days, their primary purpose is to support the military, but their focus is also on combatting terrorism. So I was thrilled, and slightly apprehensive, to be offered unprecedented access to film in Porton Down – for a BBC Four documentary to be shown on Tuesday – including access to secret research being done in their most secure laboratories. I also agreed to put myself in the line of fire and act as a human guinea pig, testing the effects of a few non-lethal products developed at Porton. On my first day of filming, as an aperitif, I was exposed to a chemical agent. Wearing a respirator, I was led into a small airtight room atmospherically filled with swirling clouds of gas. I took off my mask and tried to talk. The first breath was fine. The next was like inhaling fire. I immediately began to cough and gag, and my only thought was to escape. I fled outside, leant against the fence and tried not to throw up. Welcome to Porton. Welcome to CS - or tear - gas. Porton Down, set in bucolic rolling English countryside, was created 100 years ago in response to the German gas attacks of the First World War. These attacks began in earnest in 1915 with the release of chlorine. As the soldiers inhaled the heavy grey-green cloud, it reacted with water in their lungs, producing hydrochloric acid. The burns caused suffocation and death – but their main effect was to induce terror. Caught with their trousers down, Lord Kitchener, Britain’s Secretary of State for War, demanded an immediate response. The result was the setting up of a new, chemical weapons laboratory away from prying eyes. They called it the Experimental Research Ground, Porton. At Porton, they rapidly developed and tested new chemical weapons in their own back yard – 7,000 acres of lush countryside. They built canisters full of poison gas that could be released by a timer; unless the wind turned, you were relatively safe. They also filled shells with poison gas and fired them at targets. Unfortunately, many of those shells failed to explode, which means the fields are still riddled with missiles containing active chemical agents. please log in to view this image Dr Michael Mosley in a Porton Down laboratory, where he was exposed to CS gas to show its effects on the human body CREDIT: BBC And it’s not just those around Porton. As part of military training and weapons development, other parts of Britain were also shelled and those shells continue to be dug up on a fairly regular basis. While I was there I saw a pile of shells that had recently been recovered from a beach “somewhere in Britain”. The man in charge of disposing of them wouldn’t tell me where this particular crop had been found, but he did say that they were likely to contain “phosgene or mustard gas” and that the chemicals would be “as dangerous as the day they were made.” The shells and their contents have to be incinerated in a special facility at over 800 degrees for 24 hours. With more shells being dug from remote British beaches every year, and the occasional active shell being recovered from someone’s house, undoing the legacy of Britain’s chemical past will take the scientists at Porton a very long time. Soldiers who inhaled mustard gas during the First World War described it as smelling like mustard or garlic. He didn’t invite me to sniff... The gas attacks of the First World War killed thousands and injured many more. In response, in 1925, the major world powers signed the Geneva Protocol which banned use of chemical weapons. So I was surprised to find myself in one of Porton’s particularly secure labs watching a chemist called Marcus showing me the mustard gas that he’d recently made. As he explained, the reason it’s known as mustard gas is because the soldiers who inhaled it during the First World War described it as smelling like mustard or garlic. He didn’t invite me to sniff. We were wearing plenty of protective clothing because if you get mustard gas on your skin, it creates huge and debilitating blisters. The only good news is that unless you inhale it, you are unlikely to die. What you wouldn’t survive exposure to is the liquid Marcus started making next. Called “Venomous Agent X”, or VX, it is one of the most lethal substances ever created. It was developed at Porton Down during the Cold War period in the 1950s, but based on pesticide research done elsewhere. please log in to view this image 23rd October 1968: a technician at Porton Down working at a fume cabinet CREDIT: RON CASE/KEYSTONE/GETTY IMAGES VX is a nerve agent. It works by blocking acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that in turn speeds up the breakdown of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. The result is your nerve signals stay switched on for longer than they should, which in turn leads to chaos. After brief exposure you rapidly lose control of your bowels and your bladder and, because you can’t breathe properly, you asphyxiate. In short, you die swiftly and badly. Although the scientists at Porton Down created VX, they weren’t the first to make nerve agents. That honour goes to German chemists. In fact, it was only when the Allies were storming triumphantly across Europe in 1945 that they stumbled across Hitler’s previously unsuspected, secret weapon. It came in the form of a liquid, found in curiously marked shells. Because no one knew what it was, they sent it to Porton. There it wasdripped into the eyes of rabbits, which died horribly. The liquid was a nerve agent, known as sarin, that was never used – perhaps because the Germans feared retaliation. We have to be confident that gas masks and soldiers' clothing will work effectively should they ever, God forbid, come across something like this Saddam Hussein, however, did not hold back. In March 1988, he ordered the city of Halabja in Northern Iraq shelled with canisters containing chemical agents, including sarin, killing at least 5,000 men, women and children. His forces also used sarin during the Iran-Iraq war. More recently, sarin has been used in Syria, most notably in 2013, in an attack in the Ghouta region of Syria. The exact death toll is uncertain, but Porton Down’s expert scientists were the ones who proved that sarin was used. It is because chemical agents such as mustard gas and sarin are still being manufactured and used by rogue states that scientists in Porton Down go on making it, albeit in small amounts. As Marcus said, while putting the finishing touches to a fresh batch of VX: “We need this to test equipment. We have to be confident that the gas masks and clothing that the soldiers wear will work effectively should they ever, God forbid, come across something like this.” During the weeks we filmed there, I was struck by the range of projects the scientists from Porton (now part of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) work on, and their enthusiasm. As well as designing and testing better gas masks and clothing, they are working on more futuristic projects, like the use of synthetic biology to create lighter, more bullet-proof body armour. please log in to view this image Dr Michael Mosley with two early respirators at the Porton Down CREDIT: BBC Because they need to stay ahead of potential terrorist attacks, they have also been exploring how such a group might create and use biological weapons. In a particularly high security facility, I even watched ebola being evaluated. Porton Down is a place of contradictions. It is secret institution which is trying to be more open. It was born in war but their primary purpose is now defensive. There have been mistakes, dark moments in their past, which our documentary includes, but what they do also saves lives. Having spent time at Porton, I have little doubt that the UK would be a more vulnerable place without them. Inside Porton Down is on BBC Four, 9pm on Tuesday 28 June
That happened to me and I thought I'd lost the use of my legs and I was in this strange cave surrounded by tree roots and branches and some guy bangin on about ravens and another who could only say his own name, then i thought i'd gone back in time
Only got the finale of The Affair left then it's wait until November for more, I've enjoyed the season and like Cole, everyone other than him is a complete twat of a person, got to laugh at Alison is there anyone she hasn't ****ed? @Skylarker @RogerisontheHunt
You watched it yet? What ever else you are watching, the GoT finale is better Same director as Episode 9 (Battle of the Bastards) and last years Season 5, episode 8, (Hardhome). This season has blown me away. I was very critical of season 5, mostly because it was slow, meandering, and sometimes downright boring (with the exception of hardhome, the one bright light of season 5). Don't get me wrong, the worst season of Game Of Thrones is still better than the best season of pretty much 95% of other TV shows. But Season 6......Jon's resurrection, Bran's flashbacks, the backstory and death of Hodor , The Tower of Joy, Battle of the Bastards, Dany unleashing her dragons on the Slave masters and uniting the Dothraki hordes, Tyrion being hand of the Queen, Ramsey's death, R+L=J confirmed, and lastly, Cersei going batshit and officially becoming the Mad Queen.....what a ****ing season..... Oh and Arya......you sweet little ****ing beauty......Arya and Davos are my favourite characters.

I'm the same 5 was a bit slow but this has made up for it.
You should watch The Affair, mate top programme with Dominic West from The Wire, Show Me A Hero (true story done my the creator of The Wire) is also available on Sky at the moment or on download if you're doing that.
Yeah there are a few on my radar, now I will have time, since The DC shows, GoT and Walking dead are all finished. Wanna look at the Affair, Vinyl and Billions. Probably gonna cave and look at Peaky Blinders too.
That documentary on Porton Down was excellent. If you didn't watch it last night, make sure you do on i player
Vinyl is ****ing terrible mate, got an hour into the feature length opener and turned off, so very bad. Show me a Hero is a 4 part one off and well worth your time. Preacher is also really good.
@Bodanki Plans for a second season of Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger’s TV series, Vinyl, have been scrapped by American broadcaster, HBO due to poor viewing audiences. To those who had watched season one, this was anything but surprising. Despite the show’s clear pedigree – nobody could deny the creative credentials and insider knowledge of its producers – and the enormous financial investment, HBO clearly neglected to identify and understand its core market.
