And to the German speakers as well - can't open.

I just tried the link again and it opens for me...why?

I know I'm still obsessed because I when I go to my yoga class I'm supposed to clear my mind of everything and only focus on my breathing. But instead all I can think about is Sherlock, Sherlock, Sherlock. Seriously, I can't stop running scenes in my head. Then when I'm doing the poses and one becomes very difficult to hold, I remind myself that John is suffering right now too and that he would want me to hold it together and "soldier on" like he's trying to do. And so I give it that extra effort and usually make it through. He's been inspiring me. I walk straighter and have better posture now too.
That's great. I'll remember it when my yoga class starts again. Because I had the same problem when trying to relax and just thinking of a man in a tight-fitting shirt and his lovely friend in a hand-knit jumper.

I'm not sure "relaxed" describes how I feel when I think about them.

Veecee, you are absolutely right. Sherlock and relaxation don't go together. But how can I stop thinking of him when lying on a Yoga mat with my eyes closed and a nice male voice (the Yoga instructor, not BC) telling me to relax??

You are probably not located in Germany....

Susi, think of your husband instead.

Maybe running after a cab might be a better way for you to relax in that present condition of yours?

Maybe that all doesn't sound so good. Ya think? *smile*

If I said this I think my boss would have called mental hospital immediately .

Davina - I just looked at the video. It's so cute - in weird way.

I'll use the straight jacket on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can take Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and we'll alternate Sundays. heh

Agreed!
I think we can use the jacket on Sundays together, mad ones always have a lot to talk about

You know you are obsessed with Sherlock...

.... when you look at the in-and-out-list of your daily newspaper and you find

OUT:
Hochgestellte Kragen. Sieht einfach albern aus. (anyone who can translate? )

And instantly you want to send a reader's letter.....

**Posted by SusiGo** July 7, 2012 9:39 am

That would be:

Turned up collar. Just looks silly.

Maybe they didn't think of Sherlock. And, well, John's not always so fond of him doing this, if you think of his remark in Hounds . But I think with him it's incredibly cool.

P.S. Had a look at my avatar. He really seems to be fond of doing this in private as well.

Hm.... I always turn up the collars, even on shirts. It may be out of date but I have been doing it since I remember myself and I'm not going to give it up . Especially now .

And when you meet him in the men's one day, you can pull your collar aside, offer a Sharpie, and ask him to sign your shirt. heh Just don't be surprised when he acts.....repelled. *living inside fantasy head space at the moment, can you tell?*

When you no longer have any wall space left in your house because framed photos & autographs of every actor who has played Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson on film, TV, radio, and stage take-up every square inch of it. (yup - that would be me!)

No, it's never OUT. Ever. Those editors don't know what they're talking about.
