“On the days when you are not waving your arms like a loon, Tracy Anderson has another DVD called Dance Cardio Workout. It’s so incredibly hard that I can only do twenty minutes of it. From what I can gather, it is completely unexplained jumping to the dulcet beeping of late Madonna. You have to jump for a whole hour. I’m so tired afterward I actually have to go to sleep.”

Can we talk about Mycroft Holmes?
ibelieveinmycroft:

While we may have a year to wait to discover the truth, and it is a capital offence for a Sherlockian to theorise without data, it is inconceivable to me that the events...

ibelieveinmycroft:
thecutteralicia asked: Hello dear. As you’re a native Brit, could you analyze Mycroft’s accent? To my ears, Mark speaks quite deliberately and differently from his normal voice when playing Mycroft.
Hello my dear! Your ear is perfectly correct. Mark Gatiss’ natural accent is from county Durham, in the north of England, whereas Mycroft’s voice is more deliberately cultured,...

But it isn't true. If I lost you,
the air wouldn't move, nor the tree grow.
