Hello lovelies!

Hope the title meets with everyone's approval.

I have just one thing to say at the moment, a propos of the John Finnemore thing in the last thread: 'pub kitten'? 'pub kitten'?!!? Just how cute does that sound?

I'm happy to stay a while but I don't think you'll have much luck! :)

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 06/02/2013 22:29

Don't think I like the writing on the wall in "Xinzhou", not at all.

I think I need this.

God DAMN. [faints dead away]

MrsAceRimmer · 06/02/2013 23:26

I know, it's sounding ominous Hmm
Sausages last week, bacon this week, do you think they're building up to a full English breakfast? Grin

Ok, after months of thinking you lot were off your heads, I now get it. I saw an episode of HIGNFY on Dave last week and BC was hosting. And dear god you were right all along! And last night I had my first BC dream! And I really didn't want to wake up I can tell you.....

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 07/02/2013 20:06

He'll get you in the end - you've been Cumberbatched Grin

A new recruit is the perfect excuse to roll out our favourite BC pics/videos! My personal selections:

Best Magazine Cover
For more than one reason!!

Best Photo Shoot

Martin Freeman currently on BBC Four - Danny Baker's Greatest Album - talking about RnB

Enjoying this series of Cabin Pressure so much but getting a bit worried for next week - Yverdon-Les-Bains which, according to Google, is in Switzerland.

One of my favourite photoshoots

A still from Wreckers - I do like Gingerbatch Grin

Hair, coat, boots ...

Oh, it's nice to be back Smile

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 08/02/2013 08:47

Welcome back Prey, glad you are better Grin

A perfect Friday morning treat, to quote another poster on Cumberbatchweb, "like a psychotic bundle of snuggles" Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 08/02/2013 10:28

The 'My Cultural Life' interview is just adorable isn't it? I love the hand when he says he prefers Lennon to McCartney and then apologises.

I'm always a bit disappointed that he chooses Grace Kelly over Grace Jones though.

Loving Cabin Pressure! I am listening to the current series while also going back and listening to the rest from the beginning for the first time. Great links, everyone. NeedsAGreenCard, that Star Trek picture.... Shock Thud.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/02/2013 20:27

Was just reading on Tumblr that one fan wants the last Cabin Pressure to take place in Zwickau. Because its airfield is located on Reichenbach Strasse. How cool is that?

Anyway, more fun links:

[[http://sherlock-took-my-tardis.tumblr.com/image/42535566943 Clicky link for you GreenCard and indeed for all of us Grin

LetUsPrey · 08/02/2013 20:44

Well, that serves me right for trying to show off

sherlock-took-my-tardis.tumblr.com/image/42535566943 And another try

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 08/02/2013 21:42

Thank you, Prey. Kids stole my last functioning brain cell this afternoon.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 08/02/2013 22:00

I have imagined it many a time. It's quiet, but deep, like a rumble. TBH not dissimilar to his "you think you are safe" from the ST:ID trailer Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/02/2013 09:31

I imagine it at least once a day occasionally too and it's quite soft but husky, with a warm undercurrent, almost like a 'laugh' in the voice.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/02/2013 11:33

Lady Clarice, just once? ;)

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/02/2013 11:37

Well, no.

It's a fair cop. Grin

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 09/02/2013 11:41

All. The. Time.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 09/02/2013 13:24

This is rather lovely.

Also, on a non-Benedict note but a propos the Twitter feed I got that pic from:

Ben Whishaw usually does nothing for me, but this photo is for some reason making me feel a bit funny in my tummy

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 09/02/2013 17:36

BC will always be my number one, but I see your Ben Whishaw and raise you Nicholas Hoult

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/02/2013 17:46

Half-nekkid Benedict - albeit with scars

Those sideburns...

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 09/02/2013 17:51

Prey, I raise you a Colin Firth in the bath with wine.

LetUsPrey · 09/02/2013 19:45

I have a friend who would really appreciate that picture of Colin Firth Grin

Love that Frankenstein Creature photograph

This is funny

Never get tired of this

Never have I wanted to sit on a settee more in my life Grin
