Re-introductions

[softmachine]

something Carol said a few days back got me thinking, maybe there should be a little space for former users of the forum who have.... lapsed!.... can say "hi, we're back!" after a spell away....

 

I have to say my lapsed period came from a much-needed 'time away' from all things Sherlockian.... a rest is as good as a change...

 

My main interests remain the original Doyle stories but outside of those, BBC Sherlock, Peter Cushing, Douglas Wilmer, the Rathbone series and of course Jeremy Brett are THE motion-picture Holmeses.   ((i'm no anti-Downey Jr snob, mind... it was those films that helped lure me into the Sherlockian world in the first place!)) During my time away I got rid of a LOT of my collection, which means i'm starting collecting again, however, this time I am being much more selective. Part of the problem I think was that I wanted to get EVERYTHING!!!!!.... which can quickly lead to over-obsessiveness and burn-out.

 

Other than that, I'm a Scotsman living in Lancashire working in the care sector, and I also like Dr Who, William Burroughs, old books and old comics etc. And that's me

Great idea, softmachine!  A number of "lapsed" members have begun posting again recently.

Hi,

 

I was born during the hiatus. Maybe I can learn from you because I have been stuck like white on rice to this forum, while no one else after me seems to stay.

 

Wait, wait, I change my mind. I still want to be stuck.

[Carol the Dabbler]

You could try brown rice.  ;)  On second thought, please don't -- we like having you here!

hums "stuck in the middle with you", shuffle-dances around like that chap in Reservoir Dogs.....

I can't, already tried..!

In fact, I stop doing instagram photography because I only have time for one internet socializing, unless WwF counts.

:lol:

Those are terrifying suggestions.

I don't like touching with human, I can't sit still, and I don't belong in the pack. 

 

Dear me, Arcadia and J.P, dear me. :p XD

 

I am just a harmless homy person who like to play Scrabble :p

Words with Friends!?!?!?!?!?!??

I thought for sure it was the World Wildlife Fund.....

[Carol the Dabbler]

I thought for sure it was the World Wildlife Fund.....

 

So did I -- but then it turns out it's not called that any more, it's now the World Wide Fund for Nature.  They still call it the WWF, though.

AHA!!! Fool ya...

 

To be fair, I am a registered volunteer in WWF, but too bad they never need me when I'm free, and when they need me, I couldn't make it.

So it doesn't count! It doesn't count...nyah nyah nyah! (fairness goes to window) :cowdance:

 

 

 

 

(sorry softmachine)
