I would like to see that, too. ![]()
Is anyone else watching the football match Ireland-Germany with Westwood and Jogi Löw trying to look like a cheap version of Sherlock?

Yes, me!
Poor Westwood - fourth goal against Ireland... ![]()
And Jogi Löw's Sherlock coat looks like a duvet. ![]()

This will explain all. Brought to mind because I heard the phrase today on BBC Radio 4 and immediately thought of Molly's eggs.

Ahem. 5 - 0. Poor Irish team. Cheap version of Sherlock? Has he changed his hairstyle? I always liked his shirts, totally OT, just saying. ![]()

Thanks for explaining the curate's egg, Davina.

6:1. Poor Westwood didn't look very happy in the end.

Westwood should be wearing Westwood really.

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you're at the hospital awaiting the arrival of your new granddaughter, and you see this picture on a vending machine and think, "John as a newborn!"

OK, asked for, here is a photo of Benedict. He's a bit "different" and you'll probably be able to deduce how good my art-work generally is!
As my Mum kindly put it, "Why is your egg wearing a fez and a bin-bag??"

"Different" is exactly how he is, LOL.
And for the bin-bag, caption competition week 7 ![]()

That is fabulous.

He looks eggstremely eggelant.

Ahem. Nice manicure. *smile*
This reminds me-- several years ago the New England egg retail organization ran commercials on TV that had a jingle, "Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!" Benedict looks very.....fresh......here. And well-tanned!

You cannot really buy white eggs in shops here any more. Everyone wants them tanned!
