Lesson 9 - Violin

Sherlock is terrible when it comes to playing  the violin, but let's admit it, there some of us don't even know how to play the violin. Sherlock does, he just doesn't play it very well.
Here are the steps to play the violin like Sherlock does:

1# Play terribly even if you can play it properly.
2# Only play it beautifly at Christmas time.
3# Never tune it correctly.
4# Don't tune it at all.
5# Don't let someone tune your violine for you.
6# Play it terribly if you desperately want someone to leave your house.
7# Compose beautifly.

And these are the steps to play the violine like Sherlock does.

Lesson 8 - Drugs

In Arthur Conan Doyle's books we know that Sherlock Holmes smokes a pipe and that he injects drugs on himself with a syringe. But in "Sherlock", instead of smoking, he takes nicotine patches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLuLTOwn3N8
I recently read the case "A Scandal in Bohemia" ("A Scandal in Belgravia") and I read the following: "...between cocaine and ambition...".
But one of the things that makes Sherlock unique is the fact that he takes drugs.
No other detective would take drugs! Poirot didn't, Miss Marple didn't, none of them did!
But if Sherlock died from a lung cancer, I would blame Mycroft because he gave Sherlock a cigarette for Christmas ("A Scandal in Belgravia") and that made him an addicted to smoking as we can see in ("The Hound of the Baskervilles").
And... Just for your safety, I won't give you steps to take drugs like Sherlock, just this once...
