Dammit. Can you tell I can't sleep? And yet my concentration on proper punctuation is severely lacking.

Let's try this again.

For science!!

YouveGotRedOnYou · 10/08/2012 18:22

I'm new and wondering if I can join? Just heard the news about parades end and counting down the days to the new sherlock and star trek Grin

LetUsPrey · 10/08/2012 18:25

Come on in YouveGotRedOnYou! The more the merrierGrin

Links of any type of Batch are appreciated but not compulsory, from SherlockBatch to GingerBatch to DapperBatch, etc, etc. Not the YouTube one of him dancing at a friend's wedding though because we don't like that one as we don't feel it should be out there IYSWIM.

Also very excited about Star Trek next MayGrin.

YouveGotRedOnYou · 10/08/2012 19:20

Thanks for the welcome. I'm still trying to work it all out Grin.
I can't seem to stop myself from watching the opening to Olympics that he did for the BBC.

I know this is a bit late, NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand, but the picture you were asking about (puppy dog eyes) is from the filming of Stuart: A Life Backwards, filmed in 2007, so he'll have been 31. :)

LetUsPrey · 10/08/2012 20:14

Hello binkydink. Aren't you the one who knows the person/people responsible for WAYWB? If so and you read this post, please tell them I think they're both completely wonderful and I love their blog (are Tumblr things blogs? Not up-to-date with stuff like that Blush). Anyway, I love WAYWB and I think they're both very funny and spot on with the observations! Grin

TheAddict · 10/08/2012 20:28

Diary of TheAddict Jones:

No. of cigarettes smoked: refuse to admit, but note that BC makes smoking appear mind-warpingly sexy (probably v v bad but remember BC makes smoking appear mind-warpingly sexy);
No. of Strangely-named Cocktails drunk in company of new friend Chris The Amazingly Camp Barman: incapable of remembering (deffo v v bad, but Good Time had by all);
No. of Primuses returning for weekend with their SO: One (v v good);
No. of Minimi returning with Primus and the SO who are now working with disadvantaged kids and think that this is The Best Thing Ever, Mum, Because You Can Really Help Them, You Know: One (v v v good and am so sodding happy may actually break open drinks cupboard and pour him a large cider);
No. Of Semi-OHs turning up on doorstep and asking why don't we watch a Sherlock video and then he'll go Back To His Mother's For The Night, No Pressure Honestly: One (neither good nor bad, but should perhaps not have squealed 'Oh Look, the Purple Shirt Of Sex' during TGG);
No. of Interesting Men Whom Have Date With Tomorrow Night: One (let you know how it goes, but don't tell semi-OH);
No. of Benedict Cumberbatches turning up on doorstep: None (v v frustrating)

LetUsPrey · 10/08/2012 21:06

TheAddict you forgot:

No. of Primus SO's MILs staying at house: None (v v v v v v v v v v good)

Also, hurrah for Minimus - long may it continue Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/08/2012 21:58

Thanks, binkydink!! Now I'm going to go cry in my (non-existent) beer, because the local online video service doesn't carry it, and no one has put it on YouTube. Not sure how I could justify buying a movie I've never seen to DH... (Same goes for Parade's End -- will have to live through you ladies... no HBO over here either. Unless someone takes pity on me and records it. Will reimburse for DVDs and postage.)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/08/2012 22:12

The otter and hedgehog are at it again.

I have been like this 24/7 since finding Sherlock and BC.

Another great version of the Keep Calm meme

So glad to hear that things are going well Addict. Keep us posted!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/08/2012 22:28

Wish I had this to consume on holiday next week:

The latest offering from Man Mart

And for your reading pleasure:

No Sheet Sherlock

LetUsPrey · 10/08/2012 23:00

No DVD recorder here NeedsAGreenCard - sorry.

Love the links - particularly the otter and hedgehog one. Also, I would totally buy Sherlock magazine.

FrankelSaysRelax · 11/08/2012 00:25

Addict I am intrigued to hear more of Chris the Amazingly Camp Barman. Is he a recent addition to your circle?

Welcome Youvegotred, we are always happy to receive new recruits. [hands over standard issue BCAS tissues for wiping of drool]

LetUsPrey · 11/08/2012 08:54

From the Telegraph. Melt.

And another interview about Parade's End and his career

And quite a nice picture. This one's getting printed out. Grin

LetUsPrey · 11/08/2012 09:03

Full Telegraph interview here. Not read it all yet but squeeeeeeeee Grin.

FrankelSaysRelax · 11/08/2012 11:55
