The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Dec 19

We were closing down the preschool today. It was about 4:45 PM. My co-teacher's sister had come to visit with her two kids, aged 7 1/2 and 9 1/2. As we were closing up, my co-teacher's sister said, "I can't find my keys!" She...

The other day, I got home from work and was ready to enter my apartment. I reached into my right front pocket to grab my key, and noticed that it was gone. I didn't get flushed, but checked to see that my "plan B" was available....

I just learned something incredible!

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Nov 19

Maybe there IS order in the universe. Sometimes I think it's all random, and I get a bit depressed. But I just leaned something interesting: Three of my favorite authors in the history of my life, Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock...

The Mystery of the Shirt Stripe. By Sir Arthur Conan Horse

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Oct 18

I noticed recently that some of my t-shirts, after I wear them, have a diagonal stripe across the chest when I put them in the laundry. For several weeks, I wondered what caused said stripes. Finally, I sat in my reading chair...

I have been saying that I will watch this movie for awhile. I finally watched it today, and I am so glad I did. This movie is about the last case Sherlock Holmes ever took and his struggle to remember it. A boy, his...

What items do your gremlins currently possess? They hid my car keys for two weeks!

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Jun 18

Everyone knows that there are gremlins in all of our houses, taking things from us and hiding them, sometimes in plain sight. For some reason, it seems that the older we get, the more gremlins we have in our houses. A couple of...

Sherlock on the BBC

Lucy Leyshon @RaineLockheart (219) 8 Jul 17

In January of this year, an online friend of mine suggested I watch Sherlock, a programme shown on BBC One. I was sceptical at first and didn’t really think it would be my cup of tea. But boy, was I wrong. After 2 episodes, it...

TV Review Sherlock The Lying Detective

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 10 Jan 17

A strong second episode that draws more directly than usual on the Sherlock canon of stories by Arthur Conan Doyle while also being very in tune with real life current social controversy. The title of the episode plays on...

TV Review Sherlock The Six Thatchers

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 2 Jan 17

Spoiler alerts A very mixed reaction to this disjointed cluster of stories, threads, and tragedy. The opening conveniently draws a disappointing line and magic reset button over Holmes killing the villain at the close of the...

The Best Sherlock Holmes And The Worst Ever Watson

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 13 Jan 16

The debate as to whether TV’s Jeremy Brett was a better Sherlock Holmes than the movie star Basil Rathbone or Benedict Cumberbatch, (who I keep calling Dominic for some reason) has raged for years. My own support would be for...

Just watched the new sherlock movie

coldnpale @coldnpale (555) • Greece 1 May 12

Earlier today I watched the new sherlock movie. I enjoyed it more than the first one, even though both were pleasant to watch. The only thing I hated about the new portrayal of sherlock (in both the new films) is that they present...
