Re: SocksBatch!

Have we ever been so excited about socks before?

I think, no ;)

Re: SocksBatch!

Well, maybe when I found those pink fishnet stockings...

But I think this tops it!

Re: SocksBatch!

Oh this is SO bloomin cool. He's going to love getting all these in a big bundle. Are we using Rebecca's logo? I only really deal in pencil stuff so it won't be colourful like hers.

Re: SocksBatch!

I'd still love to see yours Clare!



Btw, when I bought these and the girl at the shop asked me if I might need to swap them later I told her not to worry as I'd be sending them to England. Her reply? "Oh, so your boyfriend is English?"

xD in my dreams, yes, in my dreams...

Re: SocksBatch!

Phantom, great socks!

Maybe we could include somewhere around the logo a reference to the forum? Something like "The CumberSocksCollective - Members of the BBC Sherlock Fan Forum"...? What do you think?

Re: SocksBatch!

Yes!  I really think we should tie it all back to the forum.  Unless the boss has some great objection?

Re: SocksBatch!

I think it would be great!

Btw, is it okay if my friend joins in? She's not going to join the forum though... but I think she'll love this! (I told her about it, and her initial thought that it was our own used socks xD)

Re: SocksBatch!

xD my socks would be completely useless to him - I'm only a UK size 4!!

It'd be great if your friend sent some too - the more we send the better

Re: SocksBatch!

Just got this from Tumblr:

"levynite asked: My tablet's being dumb and I dunno if anyone's gotten to you yet but yes, it's a pack stripey socks that a group of fans sent to him few years back. Isn't he adorable!? So if you've seen confusing things about fans squealing over his socks, it's cause they bought it for him.

Ohhhhh! I didn’t know that! That’s so cute.Personally I just like the socks, but if they’re from fans that’s even better. I did think when he came out with the comment on The Great Game commentary about never buying socks and still having ones from school that he’d get sent loads!"

Hello everyone, been away for a few days and just seen this thread.  Great idea and if my attempt at posting a picture worked, I've possibly found the most multi-coloured socks in the world!! 

I would love to be involved although my anxiety and agoraphobia mean I am somewhat unreliable and may not be able to get out to post them.  I will do my best though, as if Benedict ever mentions this I want to have been a part of it!!!!  Would it be ok to add me to the list with knowledge that I may end up being rubbish??

Re: SocksBatch!

Biggles, you're on the list! Just let us know if or if not you've actually been able to send the socks, so we know what to look out for in the future...
