    10. Cersei would spend her days getting spray-tans at HOT! while cutting aboot Glesga in a Juicy Couture tracksuit.

    11. And shagging her brother in the back of his lime-green Mazda ZX3.

    12. Her affair with Jimmy would come to light after they get papped by a Daily Record photographer on a chilly evening up Cathkin Braes.

    13. The next day's Record would lead with the headline "BANNANTYNE'S BALTIC BROTHER BONKFEST."

    14. Glaswegian Cersei wouldnae let people publicly shame her about it though. Anyone who tried would get a swift boot in the baws.

    15. Soon all the fuss would die down and she'd go back to getting her nails done and drinking two-for-one cocktails at Slug and Lettuce.

    16. Ned Stark would be McColl's right-hand man and regional branch manager.

    17. "Winterfell" would be the name of a semi-detached villa in Milngavie.

    18. And Ned's family would live their with their six Staffies: Whitey, Malky, Naebaws, Dobber, Trumpet, and Midden Face.

    19. King's Landing would be the name of McColl's HQ in Newton Mearns.

    20. Ned would travel there to support his boss, but Cersei would hire the Y. Pollok Mad Sqwad to kill him, and they'd chib him when he arrived.

    21. His son Jon "Naepals" Snow would get fed up of people confusing him with a newsreader, so he'd journey to the Far North* with Whitey, his Staffie.

    22. *Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

    23. He'd pledge to become a park ranger for the National Trust of Scotland, even though that means becoming a virgin for life.

    24. While doing his job one day he'd become aware of a terrifying new threat from the Highlands that people in Newton Mearns weren't aware of.

    25. "THE MIDGES ARE COMING."

    26. Horrified, Jonny Naepals would send texts to his da at McColl's HQ to warn him, not knowing that he'd been bumped off.

    33. She would travel East across the entire central belt, pausing briefly at Cumbernauld to free a bunch of slaves*.

    34. *Teenagers who were being forced to do unpaid work experience at the Antonine Shopping Centre.

    36. Rab was promised Mr McColl's old job when he died, but Senga gave it to her evil wean Joffrey instead.

    37. (He was supposed to be called Jeffrey, but Cersei filled in the birth registration form after a few too many Jägerbombs at Bamboo).

    38. After being told there was nothing HR could do, Rab would gather his squad and travel to Newton Mearns in person to demand his promotion.

    39. Along the way, he'd meet a tidy lassie called Oor Lisa in Giffnock, and get a bit waylaid winching her behind Spar.

    40. His maw Kathy Stark would nip to the pub for a G&T, and end up getting invited to her cousin Wullie McFrey's wedding at the Orchard Park Hotel.

    41. After hearing there'd be an open bar at the reception, Rab would rally his troops and head along to get MWI for free.

    46. Dany would set up her new HQ in a strange, incomprehensible, and exotic place in the East*.

    47. *Livingston.

    48. People would complain about her seagulls constantly swiping their chips, so she'd be forced to lock Fannychops, Bampot and Bawbag in a cage.

    49. But one day, Bampot would get loose and kill 57 people* outside Argos.

    50. *No, seriously. Glesga seagulls are really hard cunts.

    51. Up in the North, Jonny "Naepals" Snow would finally make some pals.

    52. They'd seem like they were heavy sound and share their Tennent's with him, but then the wee fuds would chib him when he was least expecting it.

    53. His last words would be "'Whitey." Then he'd pull a whitey.
