Wear Sherlock’s coat, Irene Adler’s shoes and Moriarty’s tie
Posted by Nuttycow on January 15, 2012 · Leave a Comment
It’s Sunday night and every self-respecting geek is settled into his or her wingback chair (or sofa, if you don’t happen to live in the 1800s) ready for the onslaught of the brains and beauty that is Sherlock on BBC1.
However, if watching (and dissecting on Twitter) isn’t enough for you, help is at hand in the form of a new Tumblr: Wear Sherlock.
In the interests of research (and not because I’m totally obsessed of course) I trawled the site to find the best and most brilliant looks to suit any aspiring Moriarty, Irene or Mycroft.
Be warned, these particular inhabitants of London dress to impress and pay for the privilege.
Sheldon Tees: Dress like Dr Sheldon Cooper

I’m going to go out on a limb and state that I have yet to find a self-confessed dork who doesn’t love The Big Bang Theory. The geek-culture references peppered through the show have been meticulously researched, right down to the clothes the characters wear. Although Dr Sheldon Cooper PhD... Read More »

Still in need of a last-minute panic purchase present for your mother-in-law? Pop to WH Smiths and buy a lavender Kobo eReader Touch. That’s my tip, anyway. If you want a review that gets into the ins and outs of which is better – Kindle or Kobo – you’ve probably come to the wrong place.... Read More »

Money is Time: contactless payment watches
Posted by Tamsin Worrad on December 9, 2011 · 1 Comment
It seems only recently that “contactless” payment technology has received airtime, so I was surprised to discover it has been going for several years. It’s just that retailers are only now getting into it. The premise is simple, you get a card which you can top up online (it’s... Read More »

The Walking Dead: Cherokee Rose – Dork Review
Posted by Nick Bryan on November 12, 2011 · 2 Comments
This week’s Walking Dead is the closest we’ve had so far to a day in the life of a bunch of zombie survivors. They ran errands, took stock of their position and, yes, there was even a few romantic moments or two. Well, in a way. It’s hard to tell. Of course, this sort of thing could be boring,... Read More »

I’ve been burnt many times before, so when a new comedy comes along that looks promising, I’ve learned not to get too excited. Perhaps it was that trepidation, then, that ultimately enhanced my enjoyment of a new sitcom featuring Green Wing alumnus Darren Boyd and a My Family-free Robert... Read More »
