Radio interview with BC. It's quite long and apparently heavy going at times, judging by Twitter comments, but hey it contains his dulcet tones, so who cares!

CaveMum · 15/05/2012 20:22

Sorry, that link may not work. Try this one

LetUsPrey · 15/05/2012 22:07

This made me Grin

I have to say I love WAYWB more every day. This response in particular Grin
Though my thoughts would extend from "let me dry you off" to "let's get you out of those wet things before you catch a cold" Wink

LetUsPrey · 15/05/2012 22:39

I also love WAYWB very much! I have it as a permanent page on my iPod Touch.

He has fecking gorgeous legs! Can't type what I'd say to him Grin. Do you think they have those showers at the beach like they do at beach resorts? Wonder if they're in cubicles ....

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 16/05/2012 08:56

His toned calves do look good, I'll admit that.

And no, I wouldn't turn him down in any incarnation. But I just really would love his lean, pale and interesting version back.

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

Should you be in need of somewhere to strip off there's always my place oh god yes please your damp swimming trunks, may I suggest that Chez Addict would be a suitable place? for a great number of things which my fevered imagination has in mind oh lordy yes indeed

As The Youngest Son From The Black Lagoon Still Shows no sign of washingreturning, we should be undisturbed.

Don't bother to pack as what I have in mind requires no clothing whatsoever

Yours in my best black lace underwear anticipation

PS: You will be pleased to hear that I have cast off my knitting SpongeBob SquarePants Pyjamas.

LetUsPrey · 16/05/2012 18:47

Oi Benedict, get your arse back over here now! First stop my house, don't worry about those ropes ...

LetUsPrey · 16/05/2012 22:34

Interview with BC in Jaguar magazine. I don't like the photos at all. Doesn't look like him much.

TheAddict · 16/05/2012 22:57

Hmm, agree with you about the photos, Prey - not the thing of beauty that we;'re used to... however, one line in that article has caught my eye...

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

I was avidly reading 'Jaguar' magazine today (essential reading for a tutor of Adult Lit, of course) when I noted that you state that you barely have time to get yourself dressed these days.

I have the solution to your quandry.

Move in with me, sweetheart, and I can assure you that you won't have to worry about this any more - you will find that you have neither the energy nor the inclination to do so.

Yours lustily

TheAddict

PS: key in the usual place; don't let the tortoise out.

TheAddict · 16/05/2012 23:02

And I see from the Steven Moffat interview:

"We?ve got a climax to the next series that will have people just as frustrated as they ever were.?

TheAddict has never considered that the words 'climax' and 'frustrated' could be used together in any sentence referring to the divine Mr C...

LetUsPrey · 16/05/2012 23:24

I'm thinking along the lines that if I let him get dressed once in a while, I would also have the added pleasure of undressing him. He would of course return the favour. And on that happy happy thought I am off to my bed. Smile

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 10:31

I can't post a link as I'm on my phone, but I am loving the latest WAYWB entry!

Whoever it was that said their friend runs it, please pass on our grateful thanks for her regular, and hilarious, posts Grin

TheAddict · 17/05/2012 19:12

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

Today I have been asked, in my capacity as Creative And Exciting Adult Lit Skills Tutor Extraordinaire and harbourer of wild sexual fantasies about your good self

i) Where to buy AAA batteries;
ii) Where the Carpentry Department fusebox is;
iii) Where the 13amp fuses are kept;
iv) Where to buy yellow floor paint;
v) To test an electrical extension lead and certify it fit for use;
vi) How to remove marker pen stains from a silk blouse.

Oddly enough, none of the above questions - nor any conceivable answer to them - feature strongly - if at all - in my syllabus, which is heavily biased towards a preponderance of photographs of your good self and written answers to the question 'What is this man doing?'

The creativity of some of the answers astounds even me.

I am in need of a damn good shag comfort and distraction and a damn good shag

As I am runnning short on happy pills, I am just nipping down the off-licence and on my return would be more than happy to see you stark naked and tied to my bed hell, why beat about the bush? - stark naked and tied to my bed.

Don't bother with the whipped cream: I have a plentiful supply in stock for just such an emergency.

Yours in urgent need of a good seeing-to

TheAddict

PS: key next door with Mrs Trellis: please remember she is allergic to paint-stripper

LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 19:40

That reminds me. Inappropriate places for text alert "damn good shag" to blare out of 'phone:

  1. Checkout at M&S
  2. In front of a couple of bosses at work
  3. School playground whilst standing with other mums

Bet he'd need a shower after the long flight back to the UK. His muscular legs would be very useful!

(please note BC: muscles not relevant because of having to lift me - I'm not that heavy - I just noticed your legs were particularly muscular)

binkydink · 17/05/2012 19:53

Hi CaveMum, I'm still lurking around but it's my friend that runs WAYWB, so I'll pass on your rave reviews again! (I don't know if you guys already know, but she's on twitter too - @waywbenedict - if you want to tell her yourself!)

It's a shame that Benedict is dressing better these days as there's less for her to post :( but her answers to the questions she gets are super funny anyway. She says to let you know that you don't need a tumblr account to leave a message, if you're not logged in then you can send it anonymously.

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 20:10

Thanks Binky, yes I already follow her on Twitter! [stalker]

Grin
LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 20:16

Thanks binkydink. I'm now following her on Twitter!

On a separate note, DS2 just saw an ad on the telly which had some cars on it. He just piped up "yellow car". He's only 5. Smile

LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 21:05

It had to be done. I am on my brand new, beautiful, very own, no-one else can use it without my express unlikely to be granted permission laptop. Other than the homepage, this is my first visited website and this is my first post.

[saddo that I've actually thought this through]

exexpat · 17/05/2012 21:50

Congratulations on your shiny new baby Cumbersurfing gadget. I expect you will spend many happy hours together.

LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 21:56

Thanks exexpat Grin. It took almost as long as a pregnancy for me actually to choose one. I consider these things very carefully!

Hmm, need to choose some wallpaper. DH will see the wallpaper so I don't think it could just be BC, but I think I could get away with some Sherlock stuff.

CaveMum · 17/05/2012 22:03

I love a man who is relaxed around horses Grin

But I maintain that this is my favourite photoshoot
Not a bad picture in it, and what I wouldnt give to be Lydia Whatserface Envy

LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 22:14
LetUsPrey · 17/05/2012 23:02

A few more pictures from the LA Times shoot

And yes, I know smoking is Not Good etc, but I still very much would.
