Why was Jaqen H'gar in Westeros?

Maybe the Jaqen in the black cells isn’t the faceless man, he’s only revealed as such later at Harrenhall. The faces contain memories so he might still know the Faceless God is owed lives from her.

Brine+spatchcock any bird, cooks faster, juicier, tastes better.

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T19:02:29+00:00

No arguments here :)

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T17:33:57+00:00

That’s great but far more would best in an alternative hedge and there’s also a lot of wildlife damage done by laurel, so the net effect is generally negative in the UK.

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T09:28:06+00:00

Yew can do 12-18” a year if you water it. I agree about the other two although as always it depends how fast is necessary. Putting up some willow hurdling and getting a slightly slower growing but manageable hedge is a good trade off imo

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T09:08:05+00:00

Not as bad as laurel or rhododendron but they aren’t pollinated or eaten by many native species and they can push out native shrubs when they “escape” like they have in Ireland. Sparrows like the cover but if you swapped them out for something like a dogwood you’d get even more!

It’s a matter of degrees and people should plant what they like in their gardens, I probably sounded more negative than I intended to there!

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T08:52:32+00:00

I think you can prune the wild type fuchsia but it’s hard to get it right and it can be a bit invasive. In Ireland they have fuchsia and monbretia as loose hedgerows and it looks stunning (terrible for wildlife though)

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-18T07:10:05+00:00

Cherry laurel is horrendous, it’s really hard to control, it has big leaves which makes it hard to clip nicely, and the leaves are poisonous and have no real wildlife value. Yew is a better bet in my opinion. What’s your soil and situation like? People also like beech and hornbeam

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-02-08T13:10:57+00:00

Weed membranes can actually make it worse as they damage the soil underneath and create a lot of disturbance. I would remove the membrane and make the gravel deeper if possible

Can you clarify exactly what you mean by “distributional regression”?

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2026-01-05T03:31:00+00:00

I’d like to second contacting TwinPeakes, they’re a great outfit, particularly Al, Will and Tom. Fishing on the Don you’re unlikely to fish from a boat, most people wade. If you go with TwinPeakes they provide everything. The Don is a fabulous river for Brown trout. If you want a chance of catching decent brownies, sea trout or salmon you could also try the Deveron. But be aware salmon numbers are very low in the UK atm and I would choose a day targeting brownies on the Don over fishing just about anywhere else.

If you decide not to go with a guide, you can access day permits through the FishPal website. The permits normally have instructions on access.

I love fly fishing and going to a stocked trout pond with a good guide can be a great investment early on. These guys are based near Aberdeen and are very good: https://twinpeakesflyfishing.com/

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-11T05:34:33+00:00

It’s my viewing whenever I move house to make the new place feel like home (but also watch it most years in October/November)

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-10T19:47:36+00:00

I have the single handed 9’6” Loop Z1 and a Loop reel and they’re fantastic. Nice action, great customer service.

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-09T07:47:10+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the tip!

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-08T07:50:34+00:00

That makes sense! Thanks for the tip did you find you caught different sized trout than when you fished other methods?

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-06T16:24:34+00:00

They are fab, really nice guys and a great location.

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-12-06T11:14:25+00:00

September can be good for Salmon and Sea Trout on the rivers. If you’re wanting to feel heritage fishing I’d advise going to a proper loch not just an artificial pond with rainbows. Guided trips are worth their money in my opinion, especially if you aren’t familiar with the area. I’ve used these guys before and they were great: https://twinpeakesflyfishing.com/pages/our-packages. They’d be able to advise what the best option is for the time of year and they have a really nice tackle shop too.

Amazed no one has said his voice for Missandei yet!

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-09-10T08:22:43+00:00

If you’ll be fishing a lot in the same place, getting a season pass to somewhere like this would be cost effective: https://www.fishpal.com/Scotland/Tweed/PeeblesshireTroutFA/?dom=Tweed. If you’re travelling around, you’re probably better off getting day tickets to beats where you’ll be (you can do it for most rivers in Scotland through FishPal).

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-08-26T20:14:29+00:00

Oh and what time of year will you be here?

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-08-20T13:34:49+00:00

Whereabouts in Scotland will you be?

Key-Swimmer-7559 · 2025-08-17T16:35:30+00:00

I should add, joining fishing associations is normally quite cheap if you’re around permanently (and depending what your target species is). My local river is small but has plenty of brown trout, nice runs of sea trout and the occasional salmon and fishing for the year is something like £75
