Right, I've taken the plunge!

Get those catwalk pics in here quick!

Rofl at 'fat Yorkshireman'! Have they given up all pretence of him being fat, or is it only natural owing to the privations of war? Either way, open-shirted Chrissy - mmmm.

holmessweetholmes · 15/09/2012 07:50

Oh and also liking the military coat. He looks almost as good in it as he did in the Sherlock one.

All I can say is, five years is a hell of a dry spell.

This is brilliant!

I'm reimagining the first gif with BC in just a pair of crisp white Calvin Kleins, having just got out of my bed Wink

Bugger, trying again

As penance, oh to be Rebecca

The commentary on this is priceless.

And I know it's late and I'm tired, but thinking back to OpenShirtChrissy and remembering that photoshoot of Benedict with that (godawful) sheepskin jacket and no shirt -- did he get his chest waxed for this scene? And it sort of looked like the Wrestling Federation oiled him up a bit for it, too. (Not that I'm complaining or anything...)

Hot damn was PE great last night. Can't wait until the DVD comes out!!

Diary Of TheAddict Jones - part whatever...

Cigarettes smoked/alcohol units consumes: refuse to comment
Number of Minimi returned to nest: One (so far, so good)
Number of Minimi determined to finish college course in bricklaying then study for A levels and get a Decent Career: So far, one (which is v v good except of course Mum will be paying for all this)
Number of totally embarrassing conversations with Minimi over the difference between love, lust and utter fantasy: One (it was going smoothly until he said 'I mean, if that actor you fancy turned up on the doorstep and suggested a quick shag, you'd tell him to piss off, really, wouldn't you?'. In retrospect, perhaps I should not have replied 'Actually, son of mine, I'd drag hin inside before he had time to draw breath')

Come out Toaster, we know you're there!!

LetUsPrey · 16/09/2012 09:56

Get voting!!

FrankelSaysRelax · 16/09/2012 12:56

Love this

holmessweetholmes · 16/09/2012 17:18

Have voted! Orlando Bloom seems to be getting rather a lot of votes. I stood in front of him in a queue once. Verrry attractive - nothing compared to BC though, obviously. Ummm, you know they aren't filming the next Sherlock until Jan 2013 - how long do we have to wait before it's on our screens, do you think? Huh?

FrankelSaysRelax · 16/09/2012 17:22

It'll be Autumn at the earliest I'm afraid - they don't like putting big dramas on over the summer as audiences tend to be lower due to people being on holiday/ outside in good weather (ha!)/ etc.

LetUsPrey · 16/09/2012 17:33

I've posted this before but the thread by Toaster reminded me of it:

"You don?t decide to like Benedict Cumberbatch, it just happens. And one day you wake up to a cardboard cut out of him lying next to you and wonder how you got here" Grin

And also a bit of TTSS. When is that going to be on Sky by the way? I'm fairly sure I've not missed it. It's been on Sky Box Office but hasn't made it to Sky Movies as far as I'm aware.

holmessweetholmes · 16/09/2012 17:54

Noooooo! A whole year to wait? . But I'll have actually worn out my series 1 and 2 BluRays by then!

LetUsPrey · 16/09/2012 18:01

You need to get a copy of Third Star holmessweetholmes.

Also, there's always Tumblr .....

holmessweetholmes · 16/09/2012 18:45

True. But there's no place man like Holmes...

LetUsPrey · 16/09/2012 18:48

Tumblr and YouTube will be your friendsGrin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 16/09/2012 18:49

Heads will roll.... Had put TTSS on top priority on the request list of our online video service after finally sending back the last two we had.

DH apparently messed with it, and now we have...drumroll please..."Puss In Boots" and "John Carter" winging their way to our house.

FU....DGE. (Aw, hell, who are we kidding. FUCK, FUCK, FUCKITY, FUCK.) Sorry about that. Am more than a little disappointed.

holmessweetholmes · 16/09/2012 19:29

Indeed, LetUsPrey. One of my favourites ever was a brief moment in that hilarious Sherlock/DrWho version of 'Anything You can Do, I Can Do Better' when the Doctor says 'I can knit a sweater' and Sherlock sings 'I can fill it better...', accompanied by a clip of him subtly hitching up the PSOS slightly. Must find that bit in the episode...

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 16/09/2012 22:32

HSH, I blame you for letting me find these:

The last two are driving me crazy because my kids have hijacked the CD player in the car and I now can't drive anywhere without listening to Disney songs.

holmessweetholmes · 17/09/2012 09:33

Sorry NeedsaGreenCard! Those are brilliant - I especially like the Friends one. is the Anything You Can Do one. Love it.

holmessweetholmes · 17/09/2012 09:44
is quite fun too. I liked the Molly and Sherlock bits.
