EnigmaticPenguin (of death)

Here be lots of Mark Gatiss-obsession, Sherlock reblogging, random appreciation of Things-What-Be-Awesome and gif-experimentation.

Things you may or may not wish to know about me:

Folks usually call me Nicola - what with that being my name and all. I'm from the UK (Bristol specifically), am 27 years old and be of the female persuasion. I've been in a variety of interweb fandoms long enough to know better, own two gerbils, two hamsters and one taxidermy squirrel. I go by alocin42 in a few other places such as livejournal and AO3; if you can guess why you get a prize. I can't remember now why I chose this url instead of my usual name... maybe due to my strangely attractive enigmatic smile. Or maybe because I can kill you in any one of 412 different ways.

I'm always happy to respond to queries or random rambling questions; drop me an ask. And oh look, I'm on twitter too.

My Gatiss-wife is the lovely deathbygatiss and our Flower/Gore Girl is the blood-soaked andymillman.

Breakfast lunch and… maybe more tea?

To those who enjoyed/suffered through my ramblings about how British people drink tea and eat biscuits, would you be interested in similar thoughts about breakfasts? Wherein there would be an examination of why cooked breakfasts are the best meal ever invented but we don’t eat them every day, a look at John’s jam obsession, why shredless marmalade is a Satanic invention and so on.

Or how working people such as John or Molly might eat lunch? (hint - it’s unlikely to involve brown paper bags or PB&J sandwiches)

I also have a working knowledge and a whole heap of (usually unsolicited) opinions on British beer consumption and how you behave in a pub, what’s up with our pies including those that involve mashed potato rather than pastry, the difference between crisps and chips and the difference between sweets and “candy”, why Sherlock may sometimes live off Haribo Starmix or why Mycroft might enjoy a suck on a Fisherman’s Friend…

Or, if pressed ever so gently, I could probably still summon up some strong feelings and a few thousand more words on tea and biscuits.
