That's so cool! Great sleuthing.

...when you get a new group of students and one of them is called Tessa...and you obviously cannot help a small smile as you read her name.

Same here. I've been there four or five times but often find myself "homesick" for London. I sometimes say that London is my favorite character on the show! ;)

LOL, nice thought!

Indeed it is.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... ... You find yourself deducing muddy bootprints on the asphalt.
... Mail from the Janus Fund makes you smile.
... The Irish Setter at the dog park makes you giggle.
... You get irritable when life interferes with your Sherlock plans
... You consider planning your next trip to the UK around the Sherlock shooting schedule.
... You start using another social media platform just to get more news about Sherlock
... Saccharine songs on the radio make you think of Johnlock, and you imagine a whole music video with clips from the show. ("Hello" by Adele, "Locked Away" by R City ft. Adam Levine, among others)
... You actually consider creating such a video.
... You find excuses to post to this forum to increase your post count so you'll no longer be "Wrong!" ;)

I must confess when I hear certain songs, I try and think how they would fit in with Sherlock...

Lilythiell · March 25, 2016 9:22 am

Same. But there are songs for which you cannot not think of Sherlock aren't there?

I miss London as well. I'll proably go back in the summer. There still are places (Sherlock places, mind) I have not been to yet.

Congrats, you are not anymore!

Lilythiell · March 25, 2016 11:26 am

Congratulations are in order, indeed!

Oh, just thought back, I sat papers for a week -and it's not over, oh no- three weeks ago, one of them was an essay on 'The disintegration in Falling Man'.
I disintegrated, but that's OOT.

No, the title is important. I just had to make a link between 'the falling man' and Moriarty's line of 'falling's just like flying except there's a more permanent destination'.

Last year I made a connection with the Golem...Sherlock is all around *cue Love Actually*

Apologies, these exams have messed with my head, I'm even stupider now.

Sweetie, you're bright as ever, don't worry

Lilythiell · March 25, 2016 2:47 pm

Aw, thank you, dear

Thank you!

Whenever I hear that line, I'm reminded of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently learning to fly by throwing himself at the ground but getting distracted at the last second and forgetting to land. In my web search to find that passage, I just came across this:

Whenever I fumble with my phone charger, I get all nervous and think, "Sherlock, I'm not really an alcoholic! Really I'm not!"

Lilythiell · March 25, 2016 4:35 pm

Lol I do that all the time xD
Glad to know I'm not alone xD

... you spend a huge amount of the day searching the internet and the episode regarding a strange white thing that seemed to just have appeared on a character's clothing from out of nowhere and you desperatately want to find out what it could be. But you can't see it on screen, although you watch the sequence forth and back over and over again and then you finally find some screencaps which you can lighten up and there you see that it's just a part of the tie that hasn't been visible before... :D :D :D

Lilythiell · March 26, 2016 12:25 am

I'll just call it hardcore dedication to deducting ;)
