Paul McCartney: Pencil and paper. I’m not a typist. Funnily enough, John became a red-hot typist towards the end of his life. He had always had this “Arts Correspondent in Kowloon” kind of dream. But for me it’s pencil and paper by the bed . . . those moments between falling asleep and just before waking are good.
"John might as well have worn a sandwich board announcing the end of the world, so clearly was he dressed for attention. His jeans were the tightest anywhere – he only got out of Mimi's house by wearing a pair of flannels over them, taking them off on his way to college and shoving them in a shoulder bag – and he had a long, frocked black jacket, like a Mississippi gambler. He wore it all with a swagger, with self-assurance camouflaging all his insecurities. Stuart, who adopted his own individual style, dressed for himself – who but a few intimates would see his red underpants? Stuart was impressed by him, and even more so when he heard about John's group, the Quarrymen, named after the Quarry Bank High School that John and the original band members had attended. But the band was not the main attraction. John was overtly anarchic, whereas Stuart's anarchy was expressed by pushing artistic boundaries, painting large works when he should have been doing small-scale material. Stuart's rebellion was mostly acceptable, whereas John's sometimes wasn't. We are all shocked and appalled by wild behaviour, but we are also excited and fascinated by it. John was also very, very funny. Stuart loved that and could keep up with it. There was a lot of banter between them, each of them always trying to get the better line. Once, round at our house, John said to me, 'You know, your brother's a little genius.' I got back quickly, 'He thinks you're a big genius.' His smile embraced me. John was also very dangerous, and there is a kind of excitement about that too. That unpredictability. In their banter John could be very cruel but, like a strong parent, Stuart contained that, which also made John feel safe."

the sherlock fandom has been left for so long omg a whole instagram post with 8 slides came up and gave a detailed description on why john's dick is bigger than we expected
This is just a mere parallel, but if you are interested in a deeper meaning of the scene, read @inevitably-johnlocked 's interpretation of the cottage and @sagestreet 's meta about dogs and cats in BBC Sherlock, the 6th part analyses a bit that scene with Janine and explains the meaning of cottages in our Sherlock.

the beatles problem solving skills for basic situations concerns me. for example, obviously it was confusing having two georges in the studio. so what was their solution? they called george martin “george h” because his middle name was henry. the issue with that is the other george’s last name is harrison. they’re both george h technically. one braincell used and no problems were effectively solved.
anderson thinks that Sherlock would ruffle his hair right before kissing a girl, but in reality he ruffles his hair right before going to see a bunch of handsome soldiers
