BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Count to 1895

134.

If you add up the digits, you get 8. Which, if you draw it, is infinity. Which, if you think about it, is about how long it seems it will take to count to 1895!

Just imagine if each of these was a year!
Flat 135 Chiltern Court Baker Street, London is up for sale for £610,000. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a reception room.

Weirdly 136 Baker Street is home to a BROOK STREET employment bureau. Only Sherlock fans are likely to get this connection.

Well Benedict did some skydiving in New Zealand recently so here's a World Record Breaking 138 skydivers from August this year. There is a video too:

Gah, I feel unknowledgeable now. All I've got is that the digits of 140 added up is the same as the digits of 221 added up.

141 is the number you can dial before making a call in the UK which will withhold your number. Note however that these calls can still be traced.

143 means I love you- 1 letter in I, 4 in love, 3 in you.
See sometimes words may get in the way
Of things that you really really mean to say
So I wanna out this time to make sure that how I really feel
Gets through to you
Cause listen
There aren’t many more ways and words that I can say
So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way
Got so tired of trying to find the most complicated way
To say it to you so I simplified and broke it down
To 143 – and that means I love you
