FOOTBALL MEME - DAY 21

Day 21 – Favourite legendary player i.e. one who is no longer playing

Pele.

Now, it doesn't ask why, and I know there are many legendary players, some whom I like a lot, and others I don't! But I never tire of listening to Pele whenever I see him being interviewed on TV and I always like to watch specials where he is featured. He's always fascinating to listen to, and he is a gentleman and an inspiration. I think I chose Pele more than anyone else because unlike so many other players from his country, he did not seem to develop any bad habits or temptations after he retired from football. At least as far as we know. ;)

GAME OF THRONES

GAME OF THRONES


I finally got the books I ordered and started reading Game of Thrones. I started last weekend and thanks to it being a 3-day holiday, I read the whole first book in the series. So now I am ahead of the TV show. In fact, I'm a third of the way through the second book, and hooked completely.

I'll add my two cents to the pot...it is a wonderful series, full of the most compelling characters I've enjoyed in ages. Of all the great characters, good and bad, I think Arya is my favourite. I identify with her the most of any of them. I love Ned, Tyrion, Robb and Catelyn too. Daenerys is another fascinating character, but she is, of necessity, remote. It's hard to identify with her, but I like her a lot despite that.

I don't want to put down any spoilers since I know what will be coming in the TV show. But I can say that despite the fact we have seen some exciting stuff in the TV series, we haven't seen anything yet by comparison. :)
