The Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: Never Mind Parade's End, When Will It Begin???

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

And on it goes ...

We may have had already, but I felt like watching and posting it again. SOooooooo adorable.

And because we all know I have this wild fantasy about Benedict-as-Martin-Crieff-but-so-very-much-more-masterful:

Captain Crieff

No guilt TheAddict. Makes me feel my age

Just spent a lovely hour and a half alone, doing the ironing and watching A Scandal in Belgravia. Love everything about it - the writing's just superb!

And makes me very weak at the knees

Oh God, Prey, you and me both.

I wonder how she managed to keep her hands off him?

I have no idea TheAddict.

Good grief but if BC slid his fingers round my wrist like that , I'd either:

a) faint clean away
b) drag him to the floor and let him show me what else those fingers could do.

Dear me - I am wondering now why I haven't actually got around to watching the Sherlock pilot yet. Clearly a pleasurable experience is awaiting me when I do - those jeans are.. .

I was reading some of the comments re that video. One of them said something along the lines that if he'd worn The Purple Shirt Of Sex with Those Jeans, viewing figures would have plummeted as a lot of the audience would have spontaneously combusted!

BC in jeans. I scrolled down and my jaw dropped

Erm - right...

Contemplates photograph again.

Breaks into cold sweat.

Apologies for the loud noise. That was my uterus imploding

You know the story behind that scene in Scandal? He was supposed to just stand in front of her and say "Because I took your pulse.", but he improvised the touching her wrist and whispering in her ear. I. Would. Have. Fainted. On. The. Spot and probably held my breath so BC would be forced to give me mouth to mouth

I think I'd have just kicked his legs out from under him (gently, of course) and managed to hit the floor before he did.

Minimus is threatening to return to the nest. Something about his girlfriend being unreasonable about him and her best friend...

Oh god....

Oh dear Addict. Have you contemplated a little trip to the vet's for him? First thing we do with the racing colts that become unmanageable is lop their nuts off!

[realises there might be some kind of human rights issue with this idea]

Well, I was (seriously) going to haul him down to the GUM clinic: but a trip to vet's save a lot of trouble in the long run...

What amazes me is that he is, quite honestly, the filthiest, most unmannerly lout I have ever met. And yet the local girls can't leave him alone.

CaveMum - the mothers of any female over the age of consent (at least he has some sense) within a fifty mile radius of Lower Peasmold may have human rights issues with me unless I have him Seen To!

Have you thought about redecorating his room in a Laura-Ashley-Floral-Hell style? That might be enough to stop him coming home

Dear Benedict

A family crisis has arisen, and I require your help and assistance and a damn good shag

He Whose Name Is Never Mentioned, aka The Lout Without Charm, is threatening to return to the nest.

Secundus and Tertius will also be returning any day now, probably with an entire term's worth of washing each.

Whilst I would not wish The Lout to be inflicted on my worst enemy (not even Mrs Trellis from next door, nosey old bat that she is) would you like to adopt me?

Yours in desperation

TheAddict

Cave, I 've even tried referring to him (loudly) in public as Mummy's Little Sweetheart, and even that didn't work!

I have a niece who's 17. She is super-lovely but has a forceful, determined, strong-willed streak several miles wide (like her mother and aunties ). She might be able to calm him. If not, I agree with CaveMum - off to the vets.

Back to BC. In the "I took your pulse sliding fingers round wrist" bit , I'd drag him to the floor but land on top of him ... how can I say this? ... astride him, with his hands pinned either side of his head. Not that I've given it much thought of course .

I seriously think that part of Minimus's problem is that he was 9 when Primus came out, and was almost certainly tormented at school about it (that and the fact that Tertius is mixed-race, which was certainly an eye-opener for the village when we moved here) but why this should affect his general cleanliness is beyond me.

Prey - of course you haven't given much thought to that scenario: in the words of Minimus 'Sobvious, innit?'

Now my current fantasies are revolving around this picture which involves those delightful fingers slowly undoing the back of my dress......

You can fill in the rest for yourselves, I'm off for some [cough] private time.

Oh god... thinks quite how much of me BC could arose fondle caress without even having to slowly undo back of dress - oh god...

One of my BC fantasies involves going to a dinner party. I'm wearing a backless dress (tasteful like though) which BC only sees when he helps me take off my coat/wrap. This of course torments him all through dinner and he spends all evening stroking my back. He practically drags me away straight after dessert ...

Prey: you make him wait as long as the dessert course??

Oh yeah, torment him - and me - into a lustful frenzy (I wish)!
