Chips? When did this happen? I've missed out on something!
When Sherlock shows up at St. Bart's in TGG and tells Molly she isn't going on her date, he pulls two bags of chips out of his coat and indicates that they are going to be dinner.
Doesn't that happen in Reichenbach?

Yep! Pretty funny--I was even thinking Reichenbach, and still wrote TGG. Mind not functioning at full capacity yet this morning (it's early here...).

Oh, In England we call them crisps! I thought you ment Chips as in french fries!!

Heh heh-- I suspected there was a language barrier there, when you didn't know what I was talking about. Crisps? Really? Amazing.

Molly Hooper · June 5, 2012 11:51 am

Yeah! Crisps, because they're, like, crispy...

I'm telling Mum what you said as soon as I take the lift back to my flat and put on my favourite colour slippers, turn on the telly and watch the Jubilee celebration while enjoying some yummy crisps. God save the queen!

Molly Hooper · June 5, 2012 11:56 am

Ha, Ha Hilarious!
But... YAY! You spelt coloUr right!
Sorry, Tantalus but you're not fooling me! Since when is South Carolina anywhere near Lovely, Warm, Sunny, Friendly London!?

Tantalus · June 5, 2012 11:58 am

Certainly not close enough. Oh, how I'd love to visit "The Motherland".

Did Sherlock eat both bags of chips?

By 'chips' is meant 'crisps'; it's a North American thing y'all!

Sherlock Holmes · June 5, 2012 12:26 pm

I think the crisps were for Molly and John. Sherlock doesn't eat when he's working!

Molly Hooper · June 5, 2012 12:28 pm

Of, course. How generous of him!

Sentimental Pulse · June 5, 2012 1:43 pm

Oh so crisps are potato chips? No wonder Sherlock was wavering on Molly's offer to bring him some. Yum

And, kazza474, thanks very much for posting the pictures of the three ladies together. I definitely have to improve on my observation skills!

(BTW, I did enjoy the convo about the chips/crisps!)

Back on the main topic:

Addlestone

Why, of all the places in London, Addlestone? Can't help thinking it sounds like a cryptic crossword clue.

Did he ever have a romantic relationship and with whom?

Howdy, Nosy! What a great thread for your first post...

As Mrs. Hudson once said, "How can we know what goes on in that funny old head?" she was referring to Sherlock, and no, we don't know if he ever had a relationship. Perhaps he did, but it didn't work out. I seem to recall he said something of the sort in one of the canon stories.

Quavers are potato chips? Or crisps?

Also the tea set-- I mentioned this in another thread and there's a pic I have. One tea cup had a crown inside of it, and the other teacup did NOT>

Davina · June 12, 2012 5:51 am

Quavers are...the high functioning sociopaths of the crisp-like snack world.

In the canon, he wanted to marry some daughter of his teacher but she dies before wedding.
In the series we perhaps will find out more about - I hope....

What story is that in? Sounds interesting.

Ok in TRF Molly says to Sherlock---, "You look sad, when you think he can't see you." Who was she talking about?
