I've had tickets for both for months. Johnspec wanted to see both of them.

[Arcadia]

Good for Johnspec for showing an interest in the classics! 
 

I'm really hoping they air the Miller-as-Creature version, because I haven't seen that one.

Uh-oh. And I'm hoping the opposite, for the same reason. Guess we'll find out who has the stronger karma! :D

[Inge l-w]

So, you lucky American sods can re-watch, while we in Europe can only hope and pray! More power to you,at any rate!

[Arcadia]

Now you know why we say we have the best country in the world.

Currently I do envy you rather because you have so much stuff to get for Halloween. I recently saw a goth girl on youtube in America buying Halloween stuff for her house and I had just huuuuge eyes what kind of cool stuff you get there! 

Halloween in America seems like christmas around here (yeah, supermarkets in Germany already sell Christmas cookies, it's awful....since the end of August! I love Christmas, but not THAT early...The Halloween thing comes over here a bit too, but not much. Last year I had the first time kids ringing my door for sweets, which was a nice surpirise because usually I have to eat all the candy myself and I usually buy enough to last until christmas with it :lol: ...).

 

Btw do you have something like German Christmas Markets? I saw once in Manchester that they have that, unfortunately I did not come around to look at it, but I found it a bit funny they had such as that, like as if there's not christmas markets/fairs everywhere else, too...why a german market? :D

 

Sorry, bit OT here, just curious. ;)

[Arcadia]

Oh yes, Halloween used to be my favorite holiday. Dressing up, getting candy, decorating ... it was great! I live in an area now, though, where we never see any "trick or treaters" ... I miss them. I still love decorating for Halloween though. Nothing too scary, just fun stuff. I love the fall colors, for one thing. I try to buy a few of those fancy ornamental gourds (http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=fancy+gourds&FORM=HDRSC2) every year, they are so weird and beautiful at the same time. Oh, and I still buy a bag of candy corn every year. LOVE candy corn.
 
I just discovered a couple years ago that we do indeed have a German Christmas Market a couple of hours from here, in Baltimore. I'd love to go sometime, just to look around. I have no idea why it's considered German though! But from the pictures, it did look different than your average market/fair ... better quality, more traditional items, etc. Whether everything is specifically German-made or not, I don't know (but I doubt it. )

OK! So neither BC nor Hiddleston got personal awards, but at least that confusing non-episode of TAB did! Sort of sad, really!

BC's renovation plans approved:

Good! When you spend several million on a house you want a modern boiler!

[Carol the Dabbler]

... and if there's ever trouble with the boiler, they can call Moriarty in to fix it!

[Arcadia]

??? Me not get joke....

[Carol the Dabbler]

From Moriarty's trial:

 

Sherlock: James Moriarty is for hire.

Prosecuting Barrister: A tradesman?

Sherlock: Yes.

Prosecuting Barrister: But not the sort who'd fix your heating.

Sherlock: No, the sort who'd plant a bomb or stage an assassination, but I'm sure he'd make a pretty decent job of your boiler.

[Arcadia]

Oooohhhh.... nice one!

[Carol the Dabbler]

Now I'm trying to decide whether he meant that Moriarty could do a good job of repairing a boiler -- or blowing it up!

[Arcadia]

I always assumed the latter.

[T.o.b.y]

...while I thought it was some kind of sexual innuendo I was too innocent to understand.

[Arcadia]

*snicker* I'm so innocent I didn't even think of that.

[Carol the Dabbler]

... I thought it was some kind of sexual innuendo I was too innocent to understand.

It very well might be -- but all I've been able to turn up for "boiler" is "unattractive woman," which doesn't seem to fit.

BC reading at LL 

 

[Arcadia]

Wow. That was pretty brilliant.

[J.P.]

There is an... um... interview between Ben and Hiddles

I was waiting for James Rhodes in German TV, and because it was a looooong wait, I was twtting with another person from Germany. And then... my TL exploded. I didn't even know there was a David Gilmour concert in London, so I also thought

 

Well, Ben is a Pink Floyd fan and probably had one of his greatest fanboy moments in life. This must have been for him like having a cameo in Sherlock for us.

[Inge l-w]

Oh, J.P. you are a Sherlock fan, rather than a Sherlockian, but all your sins are forgiven for that interview, because, as always, I got the interview but couldn't post it for the edification of the forum. My core question still remains: does every iconic Sherliock have had to attend a famous public school? Rathbone did, Brett did, BC did!
