I assume that Retallick will be on sabatical or something next season.

Or at this rate, still on the Food Bill.

He's not on the food bill. He's been sent away to get bigger and badder before the real games start.

Luckily we know first hand that AB behaviour at food places is exemplary and that they hold back their desire to ridicule the public admirably.
How else do you explain that @jegga didn't get abused at breakfast?

@Salacious-Crumb said in Brexit:

I see that Brexit is gettig blamed for the collapse of Jamie Oliver’s restaurant empire. Is nothing sacred?

Bit of a misrepresentation there.
Brexit was mentioned as part of a complete cocktail of market forces that hadn’t helped.
Brexit will have impacted restaurant chains such as Oliver’s simply because his target market is the middle of the road punter that isn’t food adventurous. These same folk are also generally cautious about everything.
He was providing an option that no one was interested in. No excitement for spend or value for money. No one Instagrams a bowl of overpriced pasta unless to pint out how overpriced it is.
He’s a victim of himself really as he has spent all his time showing people how easy it is to make this food then has expected them to pay for something they can easily make at home.

@kev said in Blues 2019:

@Steven-Harris Moulds was pretty good. Disappointing that some can’t acknowledge this. In a game that saw a shit load of mistakes all over the park his two mistakes were relatively unimportant and he was constructive around the field. Just to remind some of you of other more critical mistakes that let the pressure off...Akira dropping the ball from an uncontested attacking lineout, Faiane running away from his support and knocking the ball on in multiple attacking situations, Plummer who was quite good but can’t kick goals, Ruru who is slow and couldn’t execute his box kicks, Tuipulotu’s non tackle on the fast running elusive Ta’avao, Nonu who turned into traffic at every opportunity (AB discussions must be over) Rieko who decided passing on his goal line under pressure was a good idea. The only reason the Blues won was because the Chiefs are a broken team. This was a game between the also-rans. For all their endeavours, most of the Blues important mistakes on Saturday came from their so called leaders.

Interesting to note that those players you singled out above are also players that have, in the past, be cited as examples of poor team selection by the coach if they weren't used.
Maybe the coaches see error rates at training?

Pure Evil - Joffrey, Bolton, Cersi, Euron types
Evil but think they are good - Dany, Tywin, Sparrow dude
Good but flawed - Robb, Jamie, Jorah, Theon, Hound
Good - Everyone who lived till the end.

You missed..

Good but thick as shit - Jon Snow

Having Ygritte continually saying 'you know nothing Jon Snow' over and over was the biggest foreshadowing on the series.

@No-Quarter said in The Folau Factor:

I've also read that he is protected under the Fair Work Act, which are laws that protect workers rights. This includes protection for religious beliefs, stopping employers from terminating employment based on those beliefs.

Having beliefs is fine. But I think there are also sections in the Act about expressing those beliefs in a way that is detrimental to the employer.

The general protections section of the Fair Work Act apply and he could make a claim RA breached that and test that in the Federal Court. Those provisions have a reverse onus too so RA would have to prove they didn’t breach those protections.

I t would be great to have it tested in court. I doubt the intention of non discrimination for religion is a carte Blanche to say what you like and hide behind religious teachings.
It wouldn’t be acceptable for racism so why for sexual orientation?

Is Bran the Broken just as culpable for the slaughter of KL as Dany?
It was implied that he knew everything that was going to happen and was allowing it to play out so that they could reach the simple point of removing succession and claim from the throne.
So, he too wanted a better place and was willing for hundreds of thousands of deaths to occur to reach that point of change.
Or does he also know that he is unable to change events, only see them?

I was happy with how it ended, sure a little Hollywood but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed one of the best TV shows I have ever seen. I look forward to their next TV Show and the prequel that is coming.

Yeah, at least it showed that there was a reason behind all the plot devices.

The character storylines certainly all seemed rushed once they got past the books and IMO that was mainly because the pacing of the story was so different.
I agree that most of where things ended up has a traceable thread so in that respect it wasn't bad. In retrospect another 6 episodes to flesh things out along the way would have been good and maybe some of the more outrageous plot devices could have been avoided. The show certainly had the following for one more season but got bogged down in spending so much time and money making huge spectacles.

I have a premonition that Read is going to break and Ardie will be our 8

DIES:

Bran (does some magical shit and saves everyone by dying)

You might be onto something there. I have been wondering how they get rid of Drogon. Maybe Bran wargs into him and flies into self destruction or captivity?
