Thank you for sharing
You know from THE thread that I always appreciate scientific data.
And btw do you want to imply something specific with his growing hair????

Help me, I'm fainting AGAIN, thought I'd be strong enough to re-watch it but no, I wasn't and I guess I'll never be! How sexylovelyamazinglyhottalentedfunnycrazyandidonotevenknowasmanywordsasnecessary can one man be?

Ok guys here's the background:
I didn't understand the challenge, so I've been a bit negative about it.
But it was explained to me at work today so I was feeling a bit better about it.
Now I've seen Benedict's..
I have to say it was brilliant.,
The best thing I've seen in ages and I roared laughing!

Just for the record Susi, what paramaters are you using to define "fjasdlfjdsklfjdlkjkljsklf " ?

He is the master of ice bucketing! I think he should get a Oscar nomination for best short film

And there were ice cubes in it, some people had just water The last one when you see his muscles through that shirt! Holy cow!

I wonder if this was filmed at his home? I know he's got a roof terrace and it sure looks like he's sitting in one at the beginning of the clip, hence my thinking that we might be getting a glimpse of his flat. If that's the case, we have similar tastes: the floor of my cottage looks just like the floor in the room leading to the shower, lovely rustic wood planks set against white trim.

I was thinking the same thing Mary. I would be so tickled if this was a little peek into his flat.

I believe it is, but it is now a house!

Finally! Definitely worth waiting for. He knows how to tease us. I hope Mum will be home soon so we can be fangirling together. Ladies, I admire that you are able to notice other things than Ben.

Is it? I remember reading or seeing an interview where it was mentioned that he lived in a one bedroom flat in a Georgian rowhouse and then he bought the flat under it and combined it all to make one big flat, but he doesn't own the whole building.

I like his taste in showers.

**Posted by Sherlockismyfix** August 22, 2014 6:22 pm

OMG.

Good thing no one was home just now. I literally howled. The dogs are still looking a little worried.

What a wonderful man. It really does me good to know that he exists in this world. The real deal the whole package beautiful generous kind funny smart.... Really there are no words.

Thank you whoever posted this. I will cherish it forever. But I will only watch it when no one is home!

I like his taste in everything!

Notice the suit bag at the end? Spencer Hart. He wears the suits by the same designer as Sherlock. I just don't get why he looks hotter in them than Sherlock does.

Who did he challenge, didn't catch that... (wonder why...)

I heard the name Adelaide Clemens (his Parades End co-star)

If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing!

Adelaide was one of the peopel who challanged Benedict.
Ben challenged Harvy Weinstein, Kylie Minogue and racer Lewis Hamilton.

Point of clarification, well as far as I know!
I thought the building Benedict lived in was divided into 2 flats.
He originally lived in the upper(1 bed flat),
He later bought the lower flat and converted them into(I presume) a 3 bed house...ready for his forthcoming family, I should imagine!
