We're still out having more fun than you are (I don't know this for a fact, but I feel pretty confident about it because we're having a lot of fun), but I've been looking for an appropriate ecard on and off for Lestrade, and I think I've finally found the perfect one:
In other news, I'm pretty sure my bum is bruised (from skating, all right!). Mycroft spent at least half an hour basically towing Lestrade around the ice and grinning all the while. L did eventually get moving under his own steam...and then Sherlock zipped over, hugged his leg, and L lost his balance and tipped right over. I might've laughed a little. A lot. Of course, five minutes later, Sherlock did the same thing to me (L didn't laugh; I think he's going for the World's Best Boyfriend trophy).
The poll: Apocalypse No and Practical Magi are neck and neck! Vote early, vote often.

My response to this can really only truthfully be...
'The first time I saw you I knew I would at some try to get real and/or toy handcuffs on you...' (It wasn't my fault! I'd been told you might be a murderer!)
And my bum hurts too. But I'll forgive Mycroft because my face hurts a little too, from smiling so hard at everyone else's antics.
1) That card is awesome. xD
2) I take it Sherlock's in a better mood now, then? :) I sure hope so. And I'm glad you're having so much fun, you guys deserve it. :D
Thank you for clarifying the cause for your bruised bum. Otherwise, who knows what we would have thought?
Forget that. We all know what we would have thought (and possibly still do, considering skating a good cover story). :D
I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves. As usual, my candidate is losing. Re: vote early, vote often. Are we allowed to vote more than once?
I'd been told you might be a murderer!
L - you'd randomly decided I might be a serial killer! Not the same thing. Also you don't put toy handcuffs on actual criminals. I hope. So that leaves you with no excuse.
Lupe - he's in a better mood today at least, and we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. :)
Ha! It wasn't random! As if my police work is ever 'random'! I'm hurt.
Wherever you were going, people were turning up dead! You were ex-army (probably mentally able to kill) and a doctor (probably fairly comfortable with dead bodies). I think it was sound reasoning! And then I met you and decided it almost certainly wasn't you within a VERY short time, I'd like to point out.
What can I say, re the handcuffs. It was lust at first sight? (With a side order of guilt, in case you were my suspect.)
Lawless - since the comments on my blog, I'm beginning to worry about what you lot might spend your time thinking about...
And there is no way not to enjoy the glowering look Danger gives when you ask him to 'give us a twirl' as he tries on clothing - or the view when he gives in and does it.
Regarding voting...I vote off my laptop, phone and occasionally a work computer. So if we're not allowed to vote more than once, then I break the rules. What's my punishment, Danger?
Glad to hear the skating rink was such a success. You two are really doing a great job with the boys.
Re: bruised bum and handcuffs. Ah, the honeymoon period. May it last for years.
L, a very short time after you had me examine the body, sure... Also, shame on you for being attracted to potential serial killers. I'm sure that's unprofessional or...something.
No comment on the handcuffs.
I think voting more than once is to be actively encouraged.
Re: bruised bum and handcuffs. Ah, the honeymoon period. May it last for years.
I'll have you know I was very careful not to bruise Danger at first. Mind you, I didn't need to. There were a gang of serial killers doing a very good job of it already.
Danger - probably. You would have been the most attractive serial killer I'd ever met. And I'm afraid, having been on both sides of handcuffs, I don't find them particularly attractive things. Reminds me far too much of work.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, speaking of the 'w' word, after a brilliant day I've just been called into sodding work. Bollocks.
I'm sorry, but all this talk of you fighting crime (and, incidentally, the resemblance is actually striking, too) makes me think of you two as ...The Ambiguously Gay Duo!
(intro here - more episodes available on YouTube)

I don't find them particularly attractive things.
I'm just as glad. "Having been on both sides" - really? Were there dastardly criminals involved, or did you get arrested for something?
See? See how lovely and innocent your mind is? Perhaps it was a marathon bondage session?
(It wasn't.)
I may have had a few brushes with the law in my youth, before I became a part of the thin blue line. Obviously it never came to anything. Wrong place at the wrong time, that sort of deal. Always released without charge.
I can't imagine much more embarrassing, as a copper, to be 'cuffed by dastardly criminals. I don't think anyone would ever live it down.
Happens in films often enough. Though now that you mention I do wonder why all the criminals have their own handcuffs.
That is not my mind being lovely and innocent, that's just logic! If it'd been that you wouldn't just associate them with work.
Hmm. I think Mycroft could pick apart your logic. But I'm not about to ask him about anything that involves bondage.
I've never known anyone be handcuffed on the job. Tied up, knocked out, locked in rooms etc. but never cuffed.
But, like I said, it's not something anyone would admit to if they could possibly avoid it.
having said that...let's hope I'm not tempting fate. If I go quiet tonight it's because the gang have finally got me. Hah.
John - bless you, Lestrade's right, you *do* have a lovely innocent mind. (And if we're more filthy-minded than your Army colleagues, then they must've been theost innocent squaddies in history)
Lestrade - "I can't imagine much more embarrassing, as a copper, to be 'cuffed by dastardly criminals. I don't think anyone would ever live it down." Ooh, let's hope that's not tempting fate.
L - My logic is just fine. Anyhow you would've said something by now.
You realize that now if you go quiet tonight I'll worry horribly, right? Stash some spare keys on your person just in case. Or something.
Nameless - to be fair, in the army none of it was directed at me! No one was interested in my sex life, just my ability to put their intestines back where they belonged.
For most of tonight hopefully you'll be asleep! Don't worry, it'll be a long tedious night of sitting in a small room with a DC from the drugs squad and half a branch of Jessops, with all the cameras and binoculars and everything.
I refuse to comment on anything involving sex lives and intestines on here...
All right, I admit that doesn't sound overly dangerous. Unless you die from boredom.
sex lives and intestines
I deny any relationship whatsoever between intestines and my sex life. Or hopefully anybody's sex life.
Death-by-boredom is a distinct possibility. And a tatty sleeping bag that smells of smoke and sweaty coppers is doing nothing for my nicotine or Danger cravings.
So are you saying you're...addicted to danger?
completely. And I don't think they've invented a patch for it.
The only cure is to have you plastered over my body.
That can be arranged. Not till you're home though, I'm afraid.
At this point I would like to point out that it is remarkably hypocritical of you to point out our semi-pornographic mindset when you say things like The only cure is to have you plastered over my body.
I mean really. I'm not supposed to have mental images after that?
Later gator,
Bronwyn
That can be arranged. Not till you're home though, I'm afraid.
It's thoughts like that which will keep me going tonight. Although I don't actually know when I might get home. I've got briefings tomorrow.
Bronwyn - what can I say. You've all dragged me down to your level.
L - I think it's the other way around. They were never this bad before you started your blog.
You seem to imply I bring out the smutty side of everyone - including you.
Relevant to your interests? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzmtYkPCQgg
Later gator,
Bronwyn
L - I'm not implying it, I'm stating it outright.
Bronwyn - ha!
Hmm.
I'm not following any links whilst I'm here. It'll have to wait until...whenever I get home.
Yeah, you definitely shouldn't look at that one at work. Or with Sherlock nearby, especially now he's started randomly singing in public.
Tom Lehrer is my hero. And yeah, definitively NSFW.
Later gator,
Bronwyn
Given the sort of things we see in the line of work, I doubt anything you lot could throw at me is 'NSFW' - but I don't want to scare this poor lad. Or explain what I'm actually doing.
*shakes finger at self sternly* Bad Bronwyn. That was NOT a challenge. Bad!
Anyway, I'm sure there isn't much that is truly NSFW for you. And you could explain what you're doing if you're in for a lark. Might give the boy a bit of a thrill.
Later gator,
Bronwyn
Even in this day and age, I don't think most police officers would find it particularly 'thrilling' to find out they're stuck overnight with a middle aged bloke attempting to pick out some nice boxers for his boyfriend to model.
Of course I could be wrong...
And he's not exactly a 'lad', he's over thirty. I was being slightly rude there.
And sadly, I really should give him a break and take over the binoculars for a while. (I've been on the camera so far - so I only have to pay attention when he spots someone. Now I need to pay attention all the time...)
But never fear, I shall endeavour to check out any and all suggestions for things to get Danger into. And out of.
My daughter went ice-skating yesterday, fell over, and concussed herself. :( I'm glad you all had much more fun than that.
Random - I'm so sorry to hear that. How is she doing?
Hope she's okay, Random. It did make me feel better that we had a Doctor on hand. Especially the way Sherlock throws himself around.
Mycroft was obviously rather more talented and graceful!
Danger - can't help but feel we should have gone shopping for gear for the bike first, and then ice skating...we could have worn the gear then, and I wouldn't be feeling quite as tender this morning!
The thing I always hated about ice skating was how when you fall, you end up wet and cold in addition to sore.
I did roller skating for my 'sport' for most of high school. I think I had a bruised tail bone for the first two months or so while I was learning to get my balance. The mistake most beginners make is that they try to stay too upright and stiff. You need to learn to keep your knees a little bent, and your torso leant a little forward. To move, you need to use a sort of diagonal out movement with your feet. If you try to shuffle forward, feet straight, you're far more likely to fall.
Mycroft was a very good teacher.
Most falls were due to Sherlock, who could get up a fair bit of speed, in a straight line, but could only stop by crashing into us, the wall or falling over. Guess which his top choice was? He's lucky neither of us fell on him and crushed him.
It was nice doing something we that could all join in, and lovely seeing how happy it made Mycroft.
It's great that you were able to do something that made Mycroft the priority while letting Sherlock have fun and burn energy. Win-win (except for the grown-up's bruises.)
Hurting less now, still having trouble finishing her sentences or remembering little details like her birthday. o_O Also, mood swings like whoa. I'm looking into full-body bubble-wrapping for her.
Random - I'm sorry. Poor girl, and poor you as well. I know how hard it is to see the people you love suffer. I wish there was more I could do than offer sympathy over the internet, and I hope things improve for both of you very soon.
