Home is behind, the world's ahead has it's second birthday today :)

Sir Ian and Martin on working with each other.

Just wanted to let you know how fabulous I find London so far on my holiday trip. My hotel is just down the road from Speedy’s, on Gower street! That’s really the luckiest coincidence I could imagine. :D Also I went to the Sherlock Holmes museum on Baker street today, and it was really enjoyable....

OH LOL, Martin!

Kleiner Zusatz: Ihr könnt 10 Wohlfahrtsmarken im Set kaufen, die kleben dann auch selber. Achtet aber darauf das ihr bei Internationalen Sendungen viele einzelne Werte noch draufkleben müsst, da unsere ja diese netten 3 cent dazu bekommen haben O.O

Ein Internationaler Brief oder Postkarte kostet 0,75 cent ;)

To my german readers:

Hallo allerseits! :) Falls jemand abseits der Weihnachtskarten Aktion noch ein Bisschen was Gutes tun will: bei der Post gibt es sogenannte Wohlfahrtsmarken zu kaufen. Die kosten ein paar Cent mehr als die Üblichen, was dann einem guten Zweck zugeführt wird. Art des Zweckes oder Wert sind dabei frei wählbar aus einer Liste. Leider klappt das direkte Verlinken gerade nicht (oder ich stelle mich nur gerade dumm an?), auf der Webseite der Post dürfte aber mehr dazu zu finden sein.

Hi!

I had an idea…apparently only a very few lucky ones could get a ticket for the BFI screening of the next Sherlock episode. But I thought anyone could get a christmas card from a fellow Sherlock fan. Which is why I created this tumblr account. Because I simply refuse to keep whining about not...

I say this is Martin’s way of saying ‘I love you’. At least it is that case to me. =X

Ian Hallard has just posted this on twitter in response to some unkind tweets aimed at Mark. My aim in posting this isn’t to call anybody out (and please please don’t harangue the tweeters) but to point out that after a week in which twitter abuse has been in the headlines it’s worth remembering...

it might be transparent what have i done

Are we having a bad hair day Mr. BC? :D

You know you are a Sherlock Fanfic addict when...

... you have pin tapped more than 4 tabs with different filters on your browser

... you stalk your in box for new updates

... you cry out in frustration when firefox deletes your pin tabs

... you are reading more than 3 different fics at once and know what happened in every one of them when you read updates that came in the same day

... you manage to read a 40k words fic in one night

There are many more things, but I ran out of words :D any thoughts?

The Times - Whats not to Love About Benedict Cumberbatch

He was an all-action Sherlock Holmes for TV and now he’s conquering Hollywood in Star Trek. Caitlin Moran joins the actor at his parents’ home for Sunday lunch

I don’t know if you remember, but some time last summer – between the end of the Olympics and the return of The X Factor – it briefly became the thing to have a go at Benedict Cumberbatch for being “a posho”.

However many times Cumberbatch tried to explain that he was “just middle class, really”, a sum kept being done, over and over: “Harrow education” + “called ‘Benedict Cumberbatch’ ” = “A man who wipes his bum on castles”. There was a series of catty columns about it, with headlines like “Posh off to America” and “Poor posh boy”.

The underlying presumption seemed to be that Cumberbatch was some dilettante princeling – stealing roles such as Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock, and the painfully repressed landowner Christopher Tietjens in Tom Stoppard’s Parade’s End, that would otherwise have gone to working-class actors such as Danny Dyer, or Shane Richie from EastEnders, and that this was all a great pity.

Of course, as with all these things, it blew over quite quickly – not least because it was superseded by the news that Cumberbatch had been cast in the new Star Trek movie, and was, therefore, about to become one of the most successful British actors of the past ten years. But I am reminded of it all today, in the back of a cab, leafing through a pile of cuttings on Cumberbatch.

“What a load of balls that was,” I muse. “The whole posh thing. What a load of old balls. What a funny old world.”

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I have been invited to lunch with Cumberbatch at his parents’ house in Gloucestershire. Star Trek Into Darkness is now about to open and this is the only day he has free to talk. I have made the great sacrifice and taken a train to Swindon.

The cab driver drops me outside the house.

“Here you go,” he says.

I climb out of the car, and stare at a gigantic, honey-coloured mansion, with immaculately tended lawns. Parked in the driveway are a black London taxi and a vintage silver Rolls-Royce.

Last night, Benedict had offered to pick me up from the station, saying he has a “loooooooooovely car”.

“Yes – you have, haven’t you, Benedict?” I think to myself, staring. “You’ve got a lovely pair.”

I crunch up the drive, carrying a massive bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine, and shout through the letter box.

“Hello! I’m from London! I’ve come on holiday, to the countryside, by accident!”

Silence. I circle the house. The place is so big, I can’t work out where the front door is.

I decide to go to ask a neighbour for advice on how to penetrate the Cumberbatch estate.

I head towards a nearby crofter’s cottage.

Benedict Cumberbatch is standing in the doorway of the tiny cottage, in a pair of knackered navy corduroy slippers, watching my progress across the lawn – lavishly strewn with hyacinths – with some curiosity.

“What were you doing at Kate Moss’s house?” he asks, mildly.

Ah. Kate Moss. The working-class girl from Croydon made good. That mansion is her house.

The “posh” Cumberbatches, by way of contrast, live next door: three small rooms downstairs, three small rooms upstairs. Every available surface is covered in books, family photographs or owls.

Sickfic for a poor, sick girl?

Dear Sherlockians and fanfic authors,

I have been struck down by a stomach flu since the weekend and need something to cheer me up.  So I would really appreciate if someone would be so kind of writing a Sherlock sickfic for me. My AO3 name is Elwen_Eliniel by the way :)

OMG me too!

Don’t tell me I was the only one thinking this when seeing this picture.
