Greetings:

Just a note to say: I'm a new member of the group and I love reading about Sherlock Holmes. You will find one of my poems I wrote about Holmes on my LJ for my first entry. I hope you will stop in and read it and enjoy it.

Otherwise, I will leave the "getting to know me" up to you.

Have a good weekend,
sherl

Hello all,

My on-line Fluffy Like Razors shops are kicking off the year with a Holmesian special.

Tops and bags with 'Elementary' written in the dancing men code.



I am offering a customised service for the same price on the garments, ie. make your own messages with the dancing men code and put them on an item. Limit of ten characters across per line, limited to four lines. Remember the whole code isn't revealed in the canon but you get the following letters to play with

a b c d e g h i l m n o p r s t v y

Available with or without 'translation' text underneath. Can be made available in different colours of shirt and design if desired. EU and US can buy standard shirts on-line and request custom shirts by email to be uploaded for purchase from the site.

Outside EU or US, just email with a description of what you would like and we'll go from there. (devereux@yahoo.co.uk)

Happy New Year
xXx

What exactly happened on Monday?...

I have never come across any discussion about the mysterious Monday, on which Holmes wanted to arrest Moriarty and his gang. The interesting question is - what EXACTLY should have happened on this Monday to make Holmes choose that day? Why couldn't he act before? How is that he knew the exact date?

And most interesting - why the hell did he tell Moriarty about it, on their meeting at Baker-street, thus actually warning him that he will be arrested?

I can understand that perhaps Moriarty had thought that Holmes wouldn't succeed, or that he just can kill Holmes before that mysterious Monday. But why Holmes wanted to be so explicit and actually provoke Moriarty to start chasing him?
If any of you have any links to discussions on this matter, I would be very very grateful.

apologies for those of you who will see this twice via forums




Basically, a friend of mine was lucky enough to see Jeremy Brett perform at the Wyndham theatre and very nicely gave me their program from the night. I have scanned the pages and uploaded them in order in case anyone would be interested. WARNING: image heavy and will take a while to load.

If people like this sort of thing let me know, as I have other stuff I could scan.

p.s please don't hot link as I'll eventually take these down

Just to inform anyone who had an interest at any point, the Sherlock Holmes diary has moved to the Fluffy Like Razors forums.

http://www.fluffylikerazors.co.uk/ and select the 'forums and chat'

You should then find the Sherlock Holmes Board with relative ease.

The main content of the site includes a short animated detective series which may interest people here also.

Cheers
