BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...

Susi, gently, Solar - thank you! It's so weird, it's usually me who talks about being jealous. And of course all of us will meet Benedict at least once a life. I'm sure it's written somewhere.

Tinks, I'm the most shy person I know. And I'm afraid of lots of things. I think I missed some good opportunities in my life because of that, and last year I promised myself to do things I'm afraid of. So far, it's the best year in my life

Although, to be honest, I don't expect I'll be able to talk to Benedict. Just being with him in the same room would (will? I still don't believe) be amazing

mrshouse, I'd like to but...

Tonnaree, Benedict says his fans are all well-behaved, of course no one would stalk him.

That's just what I mean.
He walked right by me at Setlock, but I wouldn't dream of doing what others did: asking for a picture or an autograph.

For a picture and autograph I would ask. But I doubt I would be able to do a proper conversation.

You've got a ticket, so it will happen! And rest assured, it'll be absolutely fabulous!

Remember the article about Benedict coming to Poland on Saturday? (And the discussion about names and languages ) They sell tickets for few hours and... I got one! I can't believe it! They will show "Little Favour" and after that, there will be a Q&A with the creators. If all of this isn't only a dream, of course

You have no idea how I envy you T.T for the first time in my life I regret that I live in Warsaw and not in Cracow. In situations like this my friend always says that she is "burrito of sadness" - that's exactly how I feel now xD You have to tell us everything after meeting

besleybean, and how do you feel about it? Do you think about it? Regret it?

I don't think I'd do a proper conversation either, gently. But it's because my language skills, there are good only when I'm not nervous.

Solar, thanks so much for your warm words!

Marta, if it's any comfort for you, I've just read that Benedict travelled from New York to Warsaw, and then to Cracow by a helicopter. You were in the same city! I'd never dreamed I'd be in the same country as Benedict unless I go to England. (I still plan to.)

I'll tell you everything after the meeting, you'll have to tell me to shut up

We certainly won't! Want to know every small detail.

Hell yeah, I breathed the same air as him, that's definitely made my day
Tell you to shut up? O please, I suppose that will be the last thing we do

Oh Marta, I´m so happy for you! I´m sure it´ll be great!

I plan to see him live and in person once (and I count on Hamlet next year), but I´m also quite sure I could never actually approach him for a picture or an autograph.. especially if that means competing with other fans to draw attention to me. But for a meet and greet.. yeah, I´d probably sell a kidney, too. Just to go red and speechless and without looking up handing him pen and paper to sign when it´s my turn, heh..

**Posted by besleybean** May 8, 2014 6:05 pm

Yeah I realized after, if I ever get to an official meet and can queue for an autograph or whatever...

**Posted by Deilenn** May 8, 2014 6:37 pm

Gosh, Marta I extremely envy you!... Such a luck you have! Cracow is to me on the other end of Poland unfortunately, because I'm from the north...
Take lots of pictures of that special wonderful gorgeous man! ^^

Sorry...I haven't had time to visit this thread recently but I just saw this article on Yahoo...hope it hasn't already been posted...

Poor Benedict hides behind a napkin to avoid the paps -

Think we already had these.
Latest pap pix on Twitter: Benedict arriving in Poland and hugging Adam.(Sob).

**Posted by Tinks** May 8, 2014 8:34 pm

Aw, I love a good Bromance!
(Bloody paps though - grrr!!)

**Posted by besleybean** May 8, 2014 8:38 pm

I know and we shouldn't really be looking at the pix...
Oh hang on.
I guess they're not really Pap.
Some of them he was actually posing.
So more likely Polish press.

Marta that's awesome, I'm so chuffed for you!! Enjoy every moment and if you get your chance, have your moment with Benedict! You never know if you'll ever have another chance!!

Marta,, I am utterly green with envy. But I mean that in the nicest way.

**Posted by SolarSystem** May 9, 2014 9:14 am

And Marta, make sure to try and have a look at his socks during the Q&A, if possible...!

**Posted by gently69** May 9, 2014 9:17 am

Oh yes that's VERY important!!!
