And... when you check the comments on Amazon about the official 2016 calendar... and you are about to lose it when someone complained about it having pictures of 'Mousy Molly'. I LOVE Molly!!

I won a gift card the other day, so despite being dirt poor, the calendar is now on the way to me! It's going to replace the Benedict one nicely!

Whenever I hear that, including when Sherlock says it, I think of Pirates of the Caribbean because that movie was the first time I heard the word. But Sherlock wanted to be a pirate once, so I guess it still sort of fits.

When Abba's The Winner Takes It All comes up on the radio, and most lines makes you think of Sherlock and John's relationship.

There's a line that gets me every time, it's "the Game is on again, a lover or a friend"...

Also...well, Sherlock *has* lost John, in a way, hasn't he...?

... you read the title of the film 'London Has Fallen' and the thought popps up in your head: "No, Mrs. Hudson has started to leave Baker Street after all!"

When you look up names of Peers of the Realm and find that there was a Lord Moran, deceased in early 2014 (14th February) and cannot help but think that
a) Lord MORAN
b) he died of heartbreak because of the tarmac scene.

That is spooky!

When you're doing an on-line spelling game with a school kid and one of their words is 'pink'- and you just snigger.

Lilythiell · November 10, 2015 4:49 pm

Lol, I couldn't help but snigger when I read that word xD

While channel surfing you suddenly exclaim "What is Lestrade doing on a date with Helena Bonham Carter???"

And when you have a mini heart attack when your Sherlock silhouette pendant falls to the ground into a puddle!
I never found the necklace, but luckily I heard it so I could save the pendant... and I found a chain for it instead.

I need that necklace... it's my 'safety' item... if I start to get anxiety attacks in public I grab it and trace my fingers over it... it sounds creepy but it works!

Many of us have little tokens like that, nothing superstitious, just gives a warm feeling!
I wear a necklace daily, though it's not Sherlock related.
But the sight of my Sherlock calendar greets me every morning and makes me smile.
Then when I get to work, I have Sherlock stickers on my locker, they cheer me up through the day.

It's amazing to have such things, isn't it?
This year I have the Benedict calendar, and it always makes me smile... if I struggle I look towards it, and next year I have the Sherlock one!

I suffer from bad anxiety, if I didn't have those trinkets I doubt I'd leave my flat...

I can leave the house, but I do feel naked if I realise I've fogotten to put my necklace on.
Oh I have various Sherlock badges on different jackets too, more tokens!

I just got really happy when I realized Lars Mikkelsen is the guest in one of my favourite TV shows tonight (a news parody show)

First I thought Yay, a Sherlock actor! Then I remembered how creepy Magnussen is... and then I also remembered that time I saw him live and he refused to start before us women sitting on the floor in ball gowns because all chairs were taken, had convinced him we were comfortable enough.

On Sunday I watched a recorded episode of German TV series Tatort. That has absolutely nothing in common with Sherlock, doesn't it?
But guess what immediately crossed my mind when I saw the following pic.It's just a tiny little something.

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 24, 2015 10:42 am

I love those little things!

gently69 · November 24, 2015 10:46 am

But that's crazy. I see this little chunky guy and have to think of Sherlock.

JP · November 24, 2015 11:31 am

I don't believe that! LOL
Has he stolen Sherlock's coat or is he a secret fan?
Maybe it's him who's obsessed?

Hilarious!
Can also go to the silly associations thread...

Definitely a Sherlock-wannabe...
