Re: Favourite Martin pics
Lovely in real life.
Boring in Sherlock.
Marry in real life and I'll be the first to cheer you.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
As long as they are happy together, who cares! But they do look happy there.
Clueing for looks.

He as much as said they have married in this interview with the Times back a few months ago. None of our business, as he and Ben both like to remind their fans, so whatevs, you know? Who cares.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Sorry, I'm laughing a bit at that.
Certainly Benedict's engagement and I think his marriage too, were published in The Times...so they kind of chose to make it our business!
I am kind of disappointed with Amanda and Martin.
With my views on marriage, I always held them up as the exemplar couple who didn't need a silly piece of paper.
It's a shame they've weakened and I really don't get it when couples do that...when they'e already living and raising family together.
For me,your status should change from the day before you are married- other wise, what is the point?
You were as much married then as you are now!
But that's just me.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I know, that's my point.
It's just a boring legal contract...
Not very Romantic.
And anyway I never really accept the legal thing.
What advantages?
Even married couples have to haggle over the children and you can have joint bank accounts/mortgage/lease and make wills without being married. I actually don't agree with married couples having tax benefits.
And when it's rcih celebrities, money is hardly a great concern to them.
I am no anarchist, but I honestly see marriage as another form of state control.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
See I think if people are honest about marriage, it's fine.
Just don' pretend it's romantic and about love...if it's about legal rights and monetary benefits!
I know to a certain extent one has to play the state system, but even so.
Anyway, they are a lovely couple and I only wish them well.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Yes, and I think this thread should be re-titled "Favorite John/Martin pictures"!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Oh, my... Honestly, I never found Martin attractive before. Nor Ben, before I saw him dressed up as Sherlock. But Martin is, well... he just looks like himself most of the time, doesn't he? 
But that photo. That photo, Vhanja... Something about the expression. Goodness. Pass me the fan, I have a sudden need to use it!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Some pics from yesterday´s awards:
-----------------------------------
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?

Don't think we've seen that grey suit before. Quite snazzy.
