Re: Sherlock Anagrams
So, nine words - as required - and a perfectly intelligible sentence - what more could you possibly want? 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
tobe your guesses are hysterical! 
Okay, so I thought I might be getting too obscure with this, but it just struck me funny. So I will give hints that I hope will help. It's from The Fall. A rather softly mumbled question about a hated article of clothing.
The anagram:
AWKWARDLY ATTITUDES HOE HO HO A?

That's meeee. Hysterical. 
I just saw your hints minutes ago, harleyq.
Now I've got it. Funny quote - but of course not comparable to my kettle row!

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
A quote, three words: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Contains obvious clue to the location.

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Is it "Christmas is cancelled"? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sherlock: "It's this or Cluedo."
John: "Ah, no. We are never playing that again."
Sherlock: "Why not?"
John: "Because it's not actually possible for the victim to have done it, Sherlock!"

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Of course you're right, Skull! Glad you found out before Christmas. 
Now it's your turn if you please.

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Ok, try this one: It's a quote with six words and one comma.
ADMITTANCE
HIGH
HOLLOW
Scrabble tiles at the ready, everyone!

Sherlock: "It's this or Cluedo."
John: "Ah, no. We are never playing that again."
Sherlock: "Why not?"

John: "Fantastic."
Sherlock: "Meretricious."

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Hi Skull, I think I might need a hint to save me from my own nonsense:
Thank you...

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
I dunno, Tobe... I'd like to see what you come up with next...
Ok, Hint #1:
The quote is taken from TGG, it's Sherlock talking to John.
It's not an especially well-known quote on its own, but everyone knows the lines before it.
Hope that helps! If not, I'll post another hint. Wouldn't want to make it too easy!

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Ok, next guess - though I suspect there's something wrong with it:
(Oh - yes, seven words instead of six!)
Why not try something in German?
hmm...

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Hint number 2: In Tobe's second guess (OMG NOW THE HILL HAD A TIC) two of the words were correct, but only one was in the right place.
(For Mastermind players, that's one white peg, one black peg.)

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
Merry Christmas!
I am just visiting my future mother in law and took the time to solve the riddle with her scrabble blocks :-)
I hope this one is correct 
Happy Holidays and remember:
yesterday is history
tomorrow is mystery
today is a gift
and thats why they call it the present

Re: Sherlock Anagrams
My dear future hound-in-law, I was just turning my back on you - and what did you do?
Creating a nonsense sentence - you didn't learn this from me! Not at all!
