Honestly, that’s on Martin. He signed the deal, then failed to get off his arse and finish the damn series. HBO exercised their right to develop their own content when, after five eight years, he’d still not made any progress on finishing the series.

The fans needed something. Can you imagine the uproar if HBO told us all to wait another few years before closing out the story?

Martin can whinge all he likes about his creative process, and how he was shut out of the final seasons. I notice he hasn’t whinged once about the money he made from selling the TV rights.

Don’t get me wrong - he’s absolutely entitled to that money. It’s his creation after all. But he also signed the contract that got us to where we got to.

Literally just bought a map book for most of Australia a few weeks ago.

Planning a three week trip through the Outback. Seems crazy to try and rely on technology out there for that long without a safety net of some sort.

When I was younger, it used to be falling down a large hole, getting swallowed up by the darkness, and never knowing exactly when I’d hit the ground (or worse).

Now I have a family, my most frequent one has been losing my 9yo daughter, usually when we’re camping or at a busy shopping centre - something like that.

I just have a one-liner in crontab that keeps the last 7 nightly database dumps. That destination location is on one my my NASes, which rclones everything to my secondary NAS and an S3 bucket.

In terms of being able to enjoy that massive reveal behind the whole plot, The Sixth Sense.

In terms of being able to just enjoy the whole storyline without any prior knowledge, The Godfather (parts 1 and 2) or Se7en.

Ok. It was about 6m wide and extends to 3.5m. Supplied and installed was around $3500. Khoi’s Blinds on Westall Rd, Clayton South.
