sounds quite familiar

Yeah it is, in fact. I visited the other forums regularly, one even daily but since I'm a member here (mid November last year) I was there 2... 3 times... shortly... not more. The stuff there seems so... boring.

zeratul · January 22, 2014 3:27 pm

I still visit other forums, but just short browsing...
And they are in German... boring

I have 2 other Sherlock forums, but don't bother much with either.

When you're not in front of a computer, you make notes on a little pad or sticky-note about thoughts you've had about anything Sherlock-related that you haven't posted yet.

When somebody leaves a message at your office that displays their lack of social skills, and you find it funny and go, "Sounds like Sherlock."

When you think of looking something up as "Sherlock-ing around for it." Or, in the case of legal research, if what you find helps your case/cause and you think of it as "Sherlock-ing" or "out-Sherlock-ing" the other side.

You have a side of Sherlock with your breakfast everly morning.

... you are listening to the S3 soundtrack at work, because you are alone at the office at the moment, and especially the tunes of HLV are continuing heart-breaking.

When you are wondering about sth and think (IN GERMAN) I don't understand... And then your next thought is CAM saying, put it on a T-Shirt...

When you quietly smile at a book, in which one of the characters keeps saying' Yum yum.'

I was registered on One other Board* but it didn't seem to have much going on and lately it's been infested with sales spammers. This board on the other hand is much more lively and while it's primarily a SHERLOCK fan Forum it's also very welcoming to those of us who have been fans of all things Sherlockian.

... when after a rather mild winter, it freezes overnight so you have to scrape ice of the windscreen in the morning, and you think to yourself, "This is charming. I've really missed *this*."

One of my favourite lines!

When you and your running friends have all bought T-Shirts with :

"Run like Benedict Cumberbatch is waiting for you at the finish line"

And you plan a Sherlock run going to episode locations around London, finishing at Speedy's - but you actually live 130 miles away on the Isle of Wight.

This is actually happening for me by the way!!!

Haha, that´s hilarious! I didn´t do that but I did say "I skin you" to a fish before eating.

- You annoy yourself with your urge to use Sherlock-quotes in every appropriate and not-so-appropriate situation. ('Mummy´s had enou-ough!' and 'Oh god yes' are very abundant..)

- You miss your station because you are thinking about beautiful hands on microscopes (and admit it in a public forum)

- You see Lestrade in the supermarket

- You buy books on mnemotechnics to shape up your mind palace a little bit

- You buy the Sherlock books you loved as a kid again to reread it with BC and MF in your mind

- You think about schemes to make your reluctant husband watch the original version with you (been successful on that one, hah!)

Brilliant!

clareiow · January 30, 2014 8:47 am

Our PBs would be utterly SMASHED if he was!!!

Davina · January 30, 2014 11:10 am

But you might need mouth-to-mouth at the finish line!

clareiow · January 30, 2014 11:38 am

That's what I'd be hoping for!!!
