Clare. You must be one of the few that dont know whats going on,Man in question seems to ba wind up,re:Sherlock Holmes so rather than get upset about it,Jacqui and myself tryed to make light of it.

Whats going on,,,is someone researching Sherlock Homes? I always thought he was fiction, And where are these two threads Francis is going on about? I havent seen either of them

Thanks Gary - had a feeling it was something nasty; but surely the answer to nastiness is humour? If the guy is incapable of formulating a cohesive reply to questions designed to assist him, then we should all be as dismissive of him as possible, and he will then perhaps desist from his ill-punctuated rantings! Here's hoping anyway. Jacqui

Jacqui Vituperative means an abusive censure. Gary

Elementary my dear Jacqui.The High Heeled Shoes and handbag,was a bit of a give away plus Watson always stood behind him.

If you really think that this guy is a 'wind up merchant' are you not giving him just what he wants with this thread. Tricia

I agree with Diana (or at least I think I do, but "vituperative" is beyond me - forgive the ignorance - is that good or bad?) Who said Holmes was gay anyway Peter Bonner? My friend who has his phone number disagrees! Jacqui

Hi, I don't really think we're stressed by this, just amused and puzzled. I don't think it's a weighty enough issue to get upset about. But being interested in the human psyche, I'd really like to know what this person is all about. A joke is one thing ie Sherlock Holmes, but this latest one is very vituperative, and I can't remember him specifying where he needed help, so who helped him find what? Puzzled and amused in Canada.

Story has it that Sherlock Holmes was gay,Why do you think that Professor Moriarty,was always running away from him. Mary

some people need to take a chill pill. Some things in life aren't worth getting so streesed about. Lifes too short.

Of course it's a joke!! Who would really post a note like that - my quip about Sherlock referred to what I understood to be another joke some days past (which funnily enough is no longer with us - like our ancestors) Lighten up folks - treat the man with humour (as you would a child) Jacqui

Basically l thought this was a joke also,l knew what l was on about!! sorry if l have confused anyone Jude

Whatever are you on about....I thought it was a joke!!!!

Diana - are you sure? Tongue in cheek Jacqui

I have a question. How could anybody on this site have helped you in your searches when you didn't tell us what it was you were searching? I really would like to know. Unless of course you really are looking for Sherlock Holmes, in which case I must tell you he is purely a figment of Conan Doyle's imagination!

Well said, Kathleen and Jude

Basically you were grumpy, so we were wary, and l still am!!! Jude

I don't think any of the responses were cynical, nor sarcastic. However the message you posted had to be regarded with scepticism, hence the tone of the replies.

WELL SAID PECKETT
