And look at his muscles straining through his shirt. [shallow]

Smophette · 27/04/2012 09:18

Oh God am at home sick and that second picture phwoar now I feel better. I love the hair and the shirt and the face and just everything really. And those arms Oh my sweet Jesus.....

sloppygirl · 27/04/2012 12:09

Sorry, been off too long. Hours at work and no mobile internet.. can't keep up with everyone.

Thanks for the info. LetUs Prey, and for making sure I didn't miss Third Star. Bless you! I am going to watch it when I am on my own, and just need some quiet 'drool time'...

I am having to recover from the interviews and links recently posted...'begging for mercy..' ( OH MY ), muscles, ...NAKED !!! Having to have a lie down now....!!

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 13:05

Feel better soon Smophette.

I have just printed off that second picture and have it taped to my pc monitor at work. I'm going to have to have some kind of rotation system. It's starting to look a bit "shriney/stalkery". Blush

I'm starting at that picture. I am so not going to get any work done before I leave at 2.30!

IsSamNormansDad · 27/04/2012 15:00

I'm glad I found this thread! That interview...hair pulling, begging for mercy? I've come over all unnecessary Wink
Thank you ladies for the links, may I join in if I find any?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/04/2012 15:06

Normans, as far as I'm concerned you can join in even if you don't have links to share! (but obviously if you do have nice new ones ...) Smile

Oh yes, we love fresh meat! Welcome Norman! May I suggest you begin with with a link to your favourite BC picture? That way we know whether you are mainly a fan of:

Sherlock-batch
Ginger-batch
Dapper-batch (my personal fav)
Nerdy-batch (meant in an extremely affectionate way!)
Or any other category I've missed!

sloppygirl · 27/04/2012 15:13

Welcome IsSamNormansDad. you are among friends here... we can feed your addiction. Actually, I am a technaphobe, so I am not good at posting picures, but love seeing them. The more the merrier...WELCOME!!

IsSamNormansDad · 27/04/2012 15:15

Am on phone just now, but my definite favourite picture has already been linked to on here (it's then I knew I had to post) its just a side view of BCs face, he's looking up....

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 17:09

Welcome IsSamNormansDad! Would the picture to which you are referring be this one?

I like all the -batch categories. In fact I'd have him at different times as different -batch types. And don't forget Star Trek Villain-batch. Yum.

Smophette · 27/04/2012 17:17

I am feeling better now thanks LetUsPrey I must say I think I agree about all-batch categories, although am leaning towards dapper-batch. Yum, that boy can wear a suit Grin

CaveMum · 27/04/2012 18:06

Ah yes, "Star Trek-batch" how could I forget! Didn't someone say on the last thread that they quite fancied him in Atonement? So we need to add "creepy-batch" to the list Grin

Of course, when I expressed a preference for Dapper-batch that is not to say I wouldn't have him (and I mean that in every sense of the word Grin) in another guise, but I'd I had a choice he'd be in the tux, with undone bow tie (that I have posted on here many a time). Though I'm sure the clothes wouldn't stay on very long, so perhaps it doesn't matter what he's wearing .......

TheAddict · 27/04/2012 18:06

Dear God, that one of him rolling his sleeves up....

'Spose I can add that to the Adult Lit 'What do you think this man is doing?' collection .... then I can have filthy thoughts while teaching be paid whilst fantasising about BC

He can roll his sleeves up and get to work on me anytime he wants, as far as I'm concerned...

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 18:14

The Atonement thing? Might have been me. Not seen the film but I've seen the clip with the bar of chocolate and the bit where he says - and yes, I know this is wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong - "you have to bite it", particularly the "bite it" part makes me go quite quivery. Blush

To: Mr B Cumberbatch

Dear Sir

Our nights are regularly disturbed by noises emanating from the adjoining property, owned by a Ms Addict, who we understand is either of your acquaintance or would like to be of your acquaintance.

As we are sure you appreciate, it is difficult for us to concentrate on our daily employment as free-lance Carmelite nuns and beach volleyball team extraordinaire when the hours of our repose are frequently interupted by cries from Ms Addict's bedroom of 'phwoar', 'get a load of that' and 'fuck me rigid'; in addition, the high pitched squealing alternating with little whimpering cries has sent Sister Arturo's budgie into an early decline.

In the name of all that is holy, will you bloody well get round there as soon as possible and put her out of our misery?

Sister Stella Artois
pp Mother Superior

PS: Kindly ask Ms Addict if she will return the apricot jam as Father O'Donnolly is exhibiting withdrawal symptoms.

TheAddict · 27/04/2012 18:24

Prey: you're not alone in your reaction to the Atonement clip - it has the most peculiar effect on my nipples...

(probably too much information there!)

CaveMum · 27/04/2012 18:30

Arf @ the nuns/beach volleyball team Grin

Prey would you prefer "creepy-batch" or "wrong-batch"? Either works for me.

[makes a mental note to compile a list and allocate photos to each catagory]

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 18:36

I want Finds-LetUsPrey-Irresistible-batch. Thanks ever so.

TheAddict - arf on many levels.

Off out for the evening. Laterz.

TheAddict · 27/04/2012 18:36

That Iris Club picture definitely goes in my 'naughty-batch' category...

Smophette · 27/04/2012 21:28

Poor poor budgie, better feed him up with some apricot jam

There's another picture of him of that NY shoot with his feet up on the chair giving the camera the "seriously?" face. I can't find a good link to it though so apologies...

Also just had to lie (badly) to DP about what thread I was posting on Blush

CaveMum · 27/04/2012 21:41

Found the photo!!

Oh. My. God!

[faints clean away]

TheAddict · 27/04/2012 22:36

Well, that's me off to bed happy...

IsSamNormansDad · 27/04/2012 23:21

LetusPrey - that's the one Grin I could look at that all day. I've never seen Atonement, is it worth it?

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 23:40

What's the Iris Club picture? What have I missed?

CaveMum - that picture of him with his feet up is completely bloody lush.

Can you imagine the muscles going on under that shirt? I can. Fuck me.

LetUsPrey · 27/04/2012 23:49

I think this counts as dapper-batch. Grin
