Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
I would like to see that, too. 
Is anyone else watching the football match Ireland-Germany with Westwood and Jogi Löw trying to look like a cheap version of Sherlock?

… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Yes, me! 
Poor Westwood - fourth goal against Ireland... 
And Jogi Löw's Sherlock coat looks like a duvet.

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curate's_egg
This will explain all. Brought to mind because I heard the phrase today on BBC Radio 4 and immediately thought of Molly's eggs.

Ahem. 5 - 0. Poor Irish team. Cheap version of Sherlock? Has he changed his hairstyle? I always liked his shirts, totally OT, just saying.

Thanks for explaining the curate's egg, Davina.
And Jogi Löw's Sherlock coat looks like a duvet.
A shock blanket?
6:1. Poor Westwood didn't look very happy in the end.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're at the hospital awaiting the arrival of your new granddaughter, and you see this picture on a vending machine and think, "John as a newborn!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
OK, asked for, here is a photo of Benedict. He's a bit "different" and you'll probably be able to deduce how good my art-work generally is!
As my Mum kindly put it, "Why is your egg wearing a fez and a bin-bag??"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

"Different" is exactly how he is, LOL.
And for the bin-bag, caption competition week 7

Ahem. Nice manicure. *smile*
This reminds me-- several years ago the New England egg retail organization ran commercials on TV that had a jingle, "Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!" Benedict looks very.....fresh......here. And well-tanned!

You cannot really buy white eggs in shops here any more. Everyone wants them tanned!
