Greetings

[partington]

Hi, always been a fan of the great consulting detective, found forum by chance

not very Holmesian !   Just finished watching Jeremy Brett in "The Blue  Carbuncle ".

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hi, partington -- welcome to Sherlock Forum! 

 

You'll find a lot of fellow Brett fans here.  In fact, you'll find fans of just about every Sherlock Holmes incarnation.  Do you happen to be familiar with any in addition to Brett?

[partington]

Holmes fan from Scotland, can remember Peter Cushing in the role,

among my favourite short stories The Red Headed League,

The Norwood Builder, and countless others.  Even have some of 

The Rathbone movies on DVD, not for the purist , but entertaining.

Hi there Partington, do you have any plans? :p

 

Welcome to the forum, jump on in to the conversation!

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hi there Partington, do you have any plans? :P

 

... and may we call you Bruce?

Hi there Partington, do you have any plans? :P

Do you like villain's kiss or midnight toss-swimming?

[Carol the Dabbler]

Whatsa matter, you jealous we don't use your first name? :P

[Van Buren Supernova]

Come to think of it, yes!

What is it about everyone on first name basis while what I get is unpronounceable initial?

 

It's...it's not okay!

Nuff said, go swimming Bruce! :p

[Carol the Dabbler]

What *is* your first name, anyhow -- Van?

[Van Buren Supernova]

I absolutely have no idea..!

[Arcadia]

The. We've known each other awhile now, can we start calling you The?

[Van Buren Supernova]

Mm.. I don't think so. It's overused word, I'd be very busy hearing the name being called.

 

I like something less usual. What about Floccinaucinihilipilification, I'd be happy to be called that. We have known each other for a while now, so please??

[Arcadia]

Can't I just call you "Worthless" instead? :D

[Carol the Dabbler]

What about Floccinaucinihilipilification, I'd be happy to be called that. We have known each other for a while now, so please??

How about "Flo" for short?

[Van Buren Supernova]

Can't I just call you "Worthless" instead? :D

No no you are missing the bigger picture. My proposed name means I get to decide what is worthless :p

 

How about "Flo" for short?

No short.

That is worse than Mike for Mycorft..!

Sigh.

Just admit that you don't consider me on first name basis guys. Just say so.

How sad.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hey, guys (everybody except what's-'er-name):  I just looked up Floccinaucinihilipilification, and found that it means "The action or habit of estimating something as worthless."  Furthermore, the dictionary says that "Floccinaucinihilipilification is one of a number of very long words that occur very rarely in genuine use."  In other words, it's one of those high-falutin' terms that people use mostly just to show off.

 

Why do I get the feeling that we're not being taken seriously here?  :P
