Re: The Official Sherlock Thread

The bit that I thought was less convincing was with the 1st murder attempt, 1st thought to be in the shower. Lots of blood coming out under the shower door. But the guy took his clothes off in the changing rooms. Why no blood trail outside? Needle stick injuries often hardly bleed. But that one did...

Re: The Official Sherlock Thread

The murder method is hardly likely, but it's in the realm of possibilities. A bit like Sherlock's deducations: you can't tell me he can spot a ginger hair on a coat from 40feet away, or a man's erectile dysfunction for that matter, but we're choosing to go with it for the sake of the plot and Sherl...

Re: The Official Sherlock Thread

Very implausible murder method. Asking almost as much willing suspension of disbelief as the latest Hobbit film. You'd feel the thing going in. Not if it was thin enough and sharp enough. If it's both of those, like the fine needles used for biopsies, they don't do fatal, if any damage. I'm fairly ...

Re: Ireland and Wales mental block vs the AB's

It is unworthy of the bored to use words like 'never' and 'always' when they can so easily be disproved by reference to the record books.

Just watched the last 4 episodes again with my wife, who was in Spain for the last month. In about finale minus 3 Walt rubs his right side of abdomen and winces.

In very simplistic terms Walt started out with an illness that was likely to kill him before 5 years was up, which it did, and in that time he amassed a fortune, eliminated the drug cartel and the neo-nazis, took crystal meth out of the South-West by creating a monopoly and then destroying it.

Re: How to deal with an alcoholic?

I may be off the mark here, but from reading the OP I think the issue isn't her drinking, but un-diagnosed mental illness. Her drinking seems to be the least of her issues. FWIW, every alcoholic I have ever met had what I believed to be an undiagnosed mental illness, and in every case this illness ...

Of my 2 alcoholic brothers, one had severe pancreatitis, which eventually killed him, and the other faced losing wife and family. Both were for them a sufficient crisis to engage their arse-gears.
