More Sherlock whimsy from me, and once again on the theme of food. You might be fooled into thinking I had a one-track mind. (Actually, it's two-track: food AND Cumberbatchery.)

Anyway, the as-seen-on-screen Speedy's Café already sells Sherlock-themed sandwiches, but here's an alternative version with fewer calories and more awful puns:

Now that the British summer is in full swing (or as temporarily swinging as it ever gets, with occasional showers), I'm having a couple of weeks off work. And since Parade's End is hitting the BBC later this week, I'm also bracing myself to wander on the delightful shores of Cumberbatchery once again ( Read more... )

Enough to justify the time it took me to match up the ( Read more... )

Here's another of my flimsy pieces of whimsical Sherlockery, mainly because that's all my brain wants to produce these days, and who am I to argue with me?

After speculating recently about asking Manolo Blahnik to play Moriarty in a US Sherlock remake (he'd make you into fabulous shoes!), I couldn't help but wonder whether Moriarty would like to ( Read more... )

It's 2012 and at long last, the eyes of the world are on London. The public are on tenterhooks with excitement and traffic is being brought to a standstill. But despite the massive costs, political repercussions and unbearable pressure of anticipation, the next series of Sherlock is still a REALLY long way away ( Read more... )

Lock up your genetically modified hounds and tell your dominatrix to take the night off because I'm proud to present a smorgasbord of scribbles from my own personal mind palace. (Well, I say palace, but it's more like a shed ( Read more... )
