Other option: one of my friends intoning "I saw something narsty in the wood-shed" at opportune moments, which led to the reading and the seeing.
None of the above because i've not been convinced that any of them are worth reading/seeing.
Cats!
I've read a couple of the GRRM tales. Is he planning to end the series or just keep it going until he dies, like RA Salvatore? And does anybody really care?

I have read excerpts from COld Comfort Farm, which I somehow always confuse with I Capture the Castle.
I've seen the Song of Ice books, but not read them. Your question was ambiguous!
I've read CCF many times - it's a wonderful book, and the adaptation was pretty good. Read up to volume 3 part 1 of SoIaF, holding out on the TV series until I get around to finishing the books.
Somewhere out there is a massive Game of Thrones / Avengers fanfic in which Tony Stark plays the obvious role.

Haven't seen CCF as I doubt the show could be as funny as the book. Tried GRRM first book, not my cuppa, zero interest in the TV show.
I sort-of second this. I read the first of the GRRM books and decided it wasn't for me. So was I wrong to click the first box?
I read through Feast for Crows and stopped, and stopped after episode 1 of the TV show for some of ice and fire.
I might get back to it some day. When I'm out of things I really enjoy reading.

Was there a TV series of CCF? I saw a film, and it was deliciously true to the book.
That was the BBC/Thames Television's adaptation of Cold Comfort Farm.
you should have as a choice
I have avoided both and stayed home to pet my cats.

I cracked up the other day when someone used "Sukebind" as a plant in a Harry Potter fanfic.
A conversation I was having recently was derailed by a completely appropriate and in-context reference to one o' they Ford vans.
I would watch TV but it's too expensive to watch it on the television and too complicated to watch it on the computer.
If I did, though, I'd be unlikely to watch ruling class soap operas anyway.

Have not read or watched any of those. ("Seen" suggests having looked at the covers of the books, and I have done that.)
Much more likely to read Cold Comfort Farm than the Martin.

I am wondering what connections you found between these works?
Ah. Then I made a mistake and need to check a check box.
(I had the "other" option for the Cold Comfort Farm version with Alastair Sim. Why hasn't this been released in a nice disc-like format?!)

I have been trying to picture a universe where CCF is a ruling class soap opera and failing entirely.
I think I read Cold Comfort Farm forty years ago or so, but I don't remember it clearly. I read the first volume of Game of Thrones and decided that it was too dang depressing and I would read no more.
As for watching anything on TV -- mostly don't, except for Doctor Who.

CCF is, especially if you've read any of the books she's parodying in the "good parts" asterisked sections so you know what she's harpooning. The film is if it's the BBC/TTV version--I've never seen the other TV version so can't speak to it. I made it 50 pages into the Martin and decided it wasn't for me, so have never been tempted by the series.
...I didn't even make it 50 pages into the first of the Martin doorstops.
They own the farm! It's inherited property! Obviously, the Starks (and Dooms) are squirearchy.
Good God, I just realized. Aunt Ada Doom... could she be related to... a crossover... no. No.
