Sherlock Holmes discussion

Oh, I love doing that! :D I did that when I was reading Wuthering Heights, too. X)

I am British... so I read all my books in a British accent.

Good for you Emily. :D

Luckyyyyy. X)

Lol :)

Hi guys! Just joined the group, so I thought I'd join this random chat :) What'sup?

Reading cool books in British accents, sounds fun.

Lol, I wish I could do a British accent .__. British accents are amazing <3

I used to be able to do a British accent that sounded EXACTLY like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. Unfortunately, I lost that ability....

My British accent sucks. But I can do Australian pretty good. XD

I can't really do accents at all :p
I do an okayish British, but that's about it

My friend can do a perfect Harry Styles voice. I detest One Direction, but her voice is so perfect it's hysterical. XD

:D He has a British accent ;P Pretty much the only reason I like them - their ACCENTS *0*

I don't really mind One Direction, I'm just really sick of them.

One Direction bugs me, but the accents make them a bit more bearable

British accents are the best!

<3 British accents are amazing. I could listen to them all day >:D

Same. My dad's nerd boss has a British accent, and I just died when I heard him speak. XD

Yay! I'm back from camp! I survived three days away from the internet!!! And also they had eco-toilets. #Scarred for life

Ugh. There's eco toilets and lake hood by the lake too. I thought you had to use a genuine long drop.

Welcome back to you, also. Did you enjoy your trip to the Shire?

Ahahaha. I wish (:

Shhhiiiirrrrrrrreeeeee.

Supernatural. I haven't seen it but it's often associated with Sherlock and Doctor Who.

Well, the best generations are 10 and 11, but if you want a proper explaination of everything start at the beginning of 9. That's where it started back up in 2005. If you start at 9, the first few episodes may seem slightly like rubbish daytime TV, but once you get past the first couple of episodes, they get really good.

Okay, thanks for the advice. ^_^

Hah.

Wow - I just found something really weird. I was reading The Five Orange Pips, (the short story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) and at the beginning, Dr. Watson's wife was said to be visiting her mother.

!

Dr. Watson's wife was Mary Morstan, was it not? And Mary Morstan (I flipped back to A Sign of Four and checked) was said to be an orphan!

Anyway, I googled it up, and came up with this article:

Thought it might be of interest to you fellow Sherlockians - I definitely didn't know it before O.o

You mean The Five Orange Pips? ;)

And oh my, Mrs. Hudson?! O_o

Oops! xD Yes, for some reason I keep thinking seven, sorry :P

Ikr O.O

I read the article and other ones too. Yeah. It was never clear that the wife that is being mentioned in every story would always be Mary. Well, what a womanizer! :)

I wonder often if Conan Doyle rolls around in his grave whenever we debate his meanings behind things. XD

Lol, maybe he's being just like Sherlock right now butr just can't say.

YUS. XD

And then he's gonna be all like, "SURPRISE! I'M ALIVE AND I GAVE YOU ALL CRAZY PSYCHO HEART ATTACKS AND STUFF!" XD And then he'll write us more fantabulous jazz.

Thanks for posting that link - very interesting!

Link to Benedict singing in the recent BBC dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere:

It's addictive.

Oooh, I've seen that before. It's perfect.

I love the sound of his voice... ^_^

<3 Oh god, that one comment. "I'm sorry, is there a car?" XDXDXD Same reaction.

Hi, Mel - are we allowed to create threads in the group if we aren't mods? Thanks.

Just wanted to share these links with you guys ... my mind is BOGGLED:

http://www.sherlockpeoria.net/Who_is_...
http://blog.smartmemes.com/2010/03/sh...

These are apparently the complete timelines of all Sherlock Holmes's cases (as mentioned in the books) in chronological order. (The second one is the best)
Just ... wow. So confusing >.< But also amazing.
This link here ...
http://webpages.charter.net/lklinger/...
Is supposedly the timeline of his life.

Which is also amazing. I've already learnt about 500 things - That Dr. Watson is actually older than Sherlock, (despite the fact that he calls him "my boy" more than once in the books - huh?!) that his name is really "William Sherlock Scott Holmes" ... where on earth did they find that out? And he had a second brother?!? I must research these things. Anyone here know any more than I do? xD

Just thought you might find them interesting - feel free to create a separate thread for them if you like; I wasn't sure if I was allowed to :)

Thanks.
