Replying somewhat late too - have had stupid work and stupid face-ache today, just when I wanted to be free to play. But I did play with discoveredinalj this morning and realised that things weren't as dire as I'd been worrying, so I'm going to shut up about that and get on with planning the next challenge... *g*

And yeay that you saw Sherlock! Isn't it ace! *g* Don't worry about any female love interest - she's gone and won't be back, and she's the only one that existed in the books, and that was pretty much as deep as it got, so... *g* Irene Adler was definitely gay, though she clearly worked with men too - there were lots of hints that she preferred her female clients, I thought. I figured she was bi, and enjoyed whoever caught her attention at the time...

In S1 they played quite heavily on a gay subtext between Holmes and Watson, building it up quite gently I thought, and now they seem to be making it quite the running gag, if this ep was anything to go by. I'll be interested to see how the next two stories bear that out, especially after Cumberbatch's comments in The Telegraph!

Oh, and yes - my new laptop has a wider but narrower screen, which I've never really been keen on. Even my telly isn't widescreen, though that'll have to change one of these days too (and it's partly cos it's an old one, rather than anything else - it's not a flatscreen either!) On the bright side, it's occurred to me that of course if I keep the number lock off, the numberpad functions as arrowkeys, which is much handier for general use! *g*
