Every time we go to France we visit my Grandma's family and they kiss as a greeting. It is quite funny as my sister (who has Asperger's) always tries to hide and sqirm away  )

kissing as a greeting

But still not between blokes in UK, right?
(In the public gaze, a hearty hug is still as far as it goes judging from last night.)
Still a bit of taboo. Sigh. The ritualistic kissing of women at public events: double sigh. One doesnt always get a choice.

....take a leaf out of the Japanese book, and always carry discete wet wipes if more than the air gets lip contact...

Oh... the mwa-mwa... I'm so tired of this... every single time you see a friend you have to do this (here in Spain, I mean). There is a lot of people who apparently think it's necessary to do that even if they see you every day.

Between guys here, the usual is a handshake or, if they haven't seen each other for a long time, a hug. But between women or when it is a woman and a man, aaaaalways the mwa-mwa...

Maybe I missed something but I wonder why Watson thought he was going to see Mycroft and not Irene Adler when the black limo appeared for him. The woman who came for him was Kate, Irene's assistant, not Anthea. I know that Watson is a player who has a new girl each week but surely he can tell the two lovely ladies apart?

Also after Moriarty called Sherlock a dufus for believing that there indeed is a few lines of computer code that can open up all security locks I wondered then how he was able to pull off three impossible simultaneous heists. Frankly the idea that a.) Sherlock would buy totally into something impossible and b.) that even the great Moriarty could hire inferior underlings to pull off three perfect inside jobs seems less plausible than the computer code to me

That was Kate in the limo?!  I thought it was Anthea.  If that puts me in John's league, then so be it! 

I'm wondering where Sherlock gets all his sundry body parts for his experiments from.  I can't really see Molly having spare appendages lying around though if she did, I'm sure she could be talked into giving them to Sherlock.  The police certainly wouldn't give them to him.  Does he get them from the Homeless Network?  If not, from where then?

As tobe says, she was another woman, one we have not seen before nor after that episode.

Thanks so much for the clarification.  Wow it is amazing how much she looks like Kate. I am surprised Watson didn't try to pick her up

Oh, sorry, just saw the pictures kazza posted...

Oh someone's in the "seeing but not observing' rut today aren't we?

Chips? When did this happen? I've missed out on something!
