It's a famous phrase and the answer is in three words. I hope I've done it right

Oh dear me slick

Yes, that's the right way of doing this. Great job Irene!!

Sammy I think you are correct. Once you figured out the main word is Sherlock the rest of it was easy. I thought it might have been I Made Sherlock.... but that didn't quite make sense, did it?

Perfect, Sammy!!

Kitty, "I made Sherlock" wouldn't have had any sense, indeed But it could have been (just remember my language problems lol)
So, I guess it's Sammy's turn

Pretty quick deduction, tobe!! you are amazing. I think you're correct--

Davina · July 11, 2012 5:10 pm

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

Yes you are correct!

Well, just finished playing with my Scrabble letter tiles.
Here's the result:

OOOHHH tobe lovely anagram image!! I'm gonna work on it. A 3 word quote, hmmm?

SusiGo · July 11, 2012 9:05 pm

After having spent at least half an hour on this one - without success, I might add - I'm going to watch the pilot. Sorry, Tobe, but it's too hard for me .

1.34 a.m: Believe me or not, I just wanted to sleep, had turned off the light and there it was! The solution (at least I hope so).

Could be dangerous.

Oh - you guys haven't been idle while I was in bed (with a book about a dead woman in a place called Charlottenburg).

Congrats, Susi!
You couldn't be more right:

Give us the next anagram, please.

SusiGo · July 12, 2012 7:32 am

Nice bedtime reading, Tobe .

My anagram is not too difficult (3 words, a quote):

"Carry duo heroes"

The game is on

sherlockskitty · July 12, 2012 11:44 pm

I think I got it---"Do your Research" yay me?

SusiGo · July 13, 2012 6:58 am

Well done - now it's your turn

sherlockskitty · July 13, 2012 4:56 pm

edited to put my new anagram in here.

OK I'm working on it now. I'm playing with my scrabble tiles. I got that idea from tobe!! I'll come back later after I've worked it out and will post here. See ya!!

OK you lot, here's my anagram thingie.

It's not a exactly a quote; it's not a name, or thing or location. It's....a paper's headline. the answer is 4 words. See what you can get out of these words. took me awhile to get them.

OFFICIAL
STIR
HER
SPOIL
THROAT

I loved that headline!

"REFIT FOR HISTORICAL HOSPITAL"

sherlockskitty · July 14, 2012 6:19 am

Congratulations jenosborn!! you got it. How long did it take you to figure it out? your turn to post a new anagram for us. thanks for playing!!

jenosborn · July 14, 2012 7:41 am

Thanks Kitty! That was a good one. How long did it take me? Oh, hours I think. It's all a bit of a blur.

I remembered the headline after I watched the commentary DVD on Scandal- They mention that the headline supposedly alluded to some scaffolding that they were thinking that *might* have appeared at St.Bart's in the climax finale scene of Reichenbach Fall. But that it didn't turn out that way. Interesting.

So okay, I'll have a go at a new one. It's a prop/thing, in Series One, and the answer is 2 words.

CRUMBLY
LAME
FROST

tobeornot221b · July 17, 2012 12:54 pm

The Scrabble tiles are really helpful - it took me much longer to select them from the box than to find the right answer:

Yes, Mycroft's umbrella is a prop that appears at first in series one. But then, in PINK, Mycroft uses it just as a decorative item, whereas in SCANDAL he definitely needs it to be able to smoke a cigarette in the rain in front of Speedy's.

jenosborn · July 17, 2012 6:21 pm

exactly, tobe! nice work with the scrabble tiles as usual. Great visuals with that umbrella, and I love how a prop like that adds a lot to a character...
next?
