But Sherlock and John never have been and never will be a couple.

Irene saw it and John did not deny it.

The whole point of that scene is that John says he's not gay, Irene says she is, yet Sherlock has them both jumping like puppets.
She is teasing John.

With a little grain of truth, IMO.

besleybean · January 5, 2015 9:11 pm

They are inseparable, I think that's all she means.

I think Irene means they already act like an old married couple so they should just go ahead and shag like bunnies and get it over with.

Harriet · January 5, 2015 10:19 pm

Which is quite in character.

besleybean · January 5, 2015 10:22 pm

You know Harriet, I think it was you who told me off for using that very word.

Harriet · January 5, 2015 10:25 pm

?

besleybean · January 5, 2015 10:27 pm

Well somebody on here certainly asked me not to use the word shagging, but of course that was in reference to John and Mary...when ironically, they DO actually shag,.

Harriet · January 5, 2015 10:29 pm

I still don't understand what you want.

besleybean · January 5, 2015 10:36 pm

Well I don't want anything.
It either was you, or it wasn't...
But regardless, the point remains the same.
There has been no criticism of the times that word has been used in a Johnlock context.

Fine. tonnaree, would you please refrain from using the word shagging in Johnlock context?
It's not clear who said what and when but anyway, thank you!

nakahara · January 5, 2015 10:49 pm

Yes, how could you, tonnaree.
Everybody knows that John and Sherlock do not shag, they f.ck.

Harriet · January 5, 2015 10:52 pm

I appreciate the "." in the word. Makes it a tiny bit less rude.

nakahara · January 5, 2015 10:54 pm

I do my all for propriety.

For which I am very grateful, nakahara.

tonnaree · January 6, 2015 12:47 am

Apologises.

I am not a native speaker and need help here. If I am (for some convincing yet unknown reason) am not allowed to write they are shagging, and if f*cking is too rude, what else could I say then?
