Yeah, of course. Tasty in any case.

But in Italy don't ask for pepperoni because they call it just salami and some mammas will pretend not to understand you. Peperone is just the pepper.

Don't know how many of you have seen this, but thought it pretty cool. Maybe, the "bitter-sweet" ending GRRM always talks about is that Job Snow will have to kill Bran to save Westeros from the long-night?

Pfff.
Maybe Bran is the Night King, but if Jon has to kill him and nobody else dies and he can live happily ever after fucking his aunt it will not be a bittersweet ending but one for a crappy romantic love story. A gargantuan smoking shit.

I expect to see dead at least: Jon or Dany (the two would be better, of course), Bran (being the Night King or not), Arya, two Lannisters at gusto, some squids, the rest of the Martel, and a bunch of secundaries.
But I want the Hound and ser Jorah to survive.

The Landsknecht were truly badasses.




See how they carry the zeihander. And they carry a katzbalger (or a messer) in the hip.

But my favorite ones are the knights or man-at-arms with gothic armor (I have one suit, lol).

Thanks for the info, Madness.

But the weight of the blade is not the most relevant question in the best way to unsheathe it. It will always be faster doing so from the hip.

Anyway, a longsword doesn't have a cumbersome weight in any case, I have two of them and their weight is about 1,5 kg. And a real two-handed sword (a zweihander) could weight about 2-3 kg - you can see beautiful examples in the web of Albion Swords, my favorite ones.
The zweihander was not usually carried on the hip in a scabbard in normal life because it was too long and it was just carried to be used - be in battle or single combat.

Obviously the skin-spies with their cartilaginous "skeleton" could unsheathe their swords from the back, but would they? They would be faster to unsheathe from the hip in any case.

And there is the problem to sheath the sword again, nearly impossible if you have the scabbard fixed on the shoulder. And a very ridiculous thing to watch.

I don't remember a description of how Kellhus carried his sword in the first book. When did Bakker succumb to the stupid cliché?

I went to Magaluf in 1999, not really the best place to immerse oneself in the culture.

Hahaha, no indeed.

I live in Mallorca (in the Balearic islands in the Mediterranean - as you can imagine I don't usually speak english, so this explain the funny expressions I use in the forum, lol).
Galicia it's on the other side of the country, and it is a nice place, with beautiful landscapes and incredible food (seafood, specially) and wines (mostly the famed albariño white wine).
I have lots of friends from there, and they usually speak both spanish (castellano) and galego (their own language), as we majorcan speak spanish and our mother tongue català (in our own balearic dialects).

From Galicia, the desserts I prefer are the filloas (some kind of crêpes) and tarta de Santiago (Santiago's cake or St. James' cake).

And gallegos you can find all around the world. Hahaha. I have never travelled to any country where I didn't find some.

Apparently they have unlimited sranc, even with the toll imposed by scalpers and ordealmen. I don't know how many they had before all of that started but maybe billions.
I wonder how many bashrag, dragons, skin-spies and erratics they have now.
