Lords and Ladies of the North, we are here to honour the memory of our great leader who was robbed of his life by those accursed Southerners. Our king, our friend, our fearless general, Robb Stark, first of his name, headed our revolution against the corrupted, false king who sits on his pretty throne down in the rat’s nest of King’s Landing. Robb Stark was a brave man, who did not deserve to die at such a young age, because he reminded the South that the North was not to be trifled with, and…

I have a ritual. Every morning, I immediately open my laptop and browse several sporting analysis websites. This occurs before my shower. Before brushing my teeth. Before opening Facebook. Before eating breakfast. Often, before I am fully awake. I need my daily fix. Then, breakfast is consumed while watching the news. Not politics and weather though, nor business and finance.

was also condemning his government’s propaganda machine for glorifying a gruesome war in order to discourage draft evasion. He famously wrote at the end of his poem: The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori. The old Lie; it is sweet and honourable to die for your country.

Oh how greatly do I despise the moor! I hate him, hate him, hate him! Now I am going to make the thick-lips regret the shame he has brought to me. With my web of jealousy I shall ensnare them all. I must hide my bitter resentment in order to obtain my sweet, sweet revenge. In following him, I follow but myself, I am not what I am. But you are Cassio- Cassio… A mere book-keeper… How could anyone ever choose this mathematician with NO practical experience in battle whatsoever over honest,…

are a far cry from the Sherlock Holmes and the Philo Vance type of private eye who never make any mistakes and always get the better of the villain. Instead, their detectives are gritty, hardened, and deeply flawed. However, one detective is more honourable and moral than the other. Chandler’s detective, Philip Marlowe, has been described as “a white knight in a trench coat”, while Sam Spade is called a “blond Satan” by Dashiell Hammet in the novel The Maltese Falcon. Notwithstanding Humphrey…
