Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Benedict suddenly lives on the Isle of Wight? Since when?

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

I read he bought a house there. I suppose it might be a second home. He probably will not move away from London but share his time between the places?

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

He certainly wouldn't be the first celebrity to own more than one home.  And the Isle would be a perfect place for him to get away from it all.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

I read somewhere a little while ago that he bought a house on IoW but that he'd be 'nesting' in London...

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Yeah. Word was that he purchased a house on the Isle. But, it's so obvious that Benedict will never see himself out of London completely, he loves the place too much!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Since it isn't a photo I'll post this here. Short audio interview with Ben and his dad at Wimbledon.

I usually don't watch Tennis, but I find finals exciting. I'm rooting for Roger Federer, not that I don't like Djokovic but I loathe his "coach". You see I'm very professional here.

EDIT: they haven't even started yet and I've already seen Ben in the Royal Box. Good start!

Ben congratulates Novak Djokovic to his win. How cool is that.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

This might be of interest to some on this board - a map of Benedict's London...

http://accordingtobenedict.com/various/the-london-according-to-benedict-map/

It's interactive so just click/tap on the icons on the map to get to the Benedict reference.

I can't go t Hamlet but I will be taking notes so that when I visit London again (currently scheduled to be sometime in 2017) I will see if I can't get to a few spots that he recommended - they all sound quite lovely.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Interesting find, Val.  Definitely fan tourism, if that's the correct term, where you pay pilgrimage to locations where famous scenes were filmed.



Clueing for looks.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Very interesting! 

I see I chose a hostel with a good location, Sherlockian vise! I have an entire 'Sherlock' day planned for sightseeing that stuff. 


Thanks for sharing!

You're just a tad early sweetie, but it's all good.  

Or is it the 19th where you are already!  I get so confused with time zones.

Happy Birthday Ben! 

Hope he's having a great day! If I ever get some sleep I'll have a Benedict marathon when I wake.

39 Times Benedict Cumberbatch Completely Broke The Internet
In honour of his 39th birthday.

If I were allowed to chose just one, I would chose No.28
Honestly if a voice could impregnate women, we all would have a immediate problem.

Lol, that is awesome! And am almost embarrased to say that I was familiar with the great majority of those...
