Greg Lestrade: Yeah, you say that, but then John blogs about it, and you get all the credit anyway.

John Watson: Definitely a sore spot.

Sherlock Quote from 'The Six Thatchers' (4x01) - Sherlock Holmes (to Rosamund): As ever, Watson, you see but do not observe.

Now, for the last time, if you want to keep the rattle, do not throw the rattle.
