CRESCENT MOON emoticon vote here.....

If we have a sun, we should have a moon. And why should the union flag be temporary? I vote we keep the flag too. Who decides what occasion is suitable for flag waving?

Until after the Paralympics, Grannyeggs

Love the crescent moon idea, I have been away, how long is the flag staying, I like it and will be sad to see it disappear.

We could also have a shopping bag emoticon, for those of you me who can not sleep It would pass as bags under eyes !
Yes I vote for a crescent moon

Nice.

It would mean something like, "Night-night. Sleep tight" on a late evening thread. Would be nice.

Can someone confirm what the crescent moon means.

I am going from goodnight to republicanism in my weird head!

Either way is fine if wanted, just missed what it means.

Just to confuse things, when I was in New Zealand I noticed that the moon was back to front. People started to avoid me because I was trying to understand. The answer, I finally realised is that it - or rather I - was upside-down! Since here and NZ are two extremes, what happens on the Equator?

I think it still works, Hunt. Gibbous means hump-backed, so it's just that there is more moon than dark, more than half of it is visible, but there will still be a round shape for fingers and thumbs, either waxing or waning.

Daisy, What about gibbous? I never could get it right. Love the thumb and finger.

Yes, it is mood !
And yes it is very nice.
Sorry.

It's mood!

it's very nice

I thought it was "*mood*" indigo. Not moon!

Have I had it wrong all these years?

'Moonlight and roses'

Moonlight becomes you

" Blue Moon?"
" Moon Indigo?"
"Moonlight Serenade?"
"Moon River?"
"Give me the moonlight?"
"Mondschein Sonate?"
"Fly me to the Moon?"

Sorry, am in that kind of mood.

I think crescent moon is just too hard for Tech. I'm sure they'd be happy with a big orange O!

Yummy!

Or Cadbury's Chocolate Orange - lots of crescents in that moon....

Mars bars darling. Anyway Mars is a planet not a moon

It looks red, doesn't it Anyway, Harvest Moon sounds lovely.....big and ORANGE.

Eh? Mars is a sweetie!

Or Mars, even......

Nars? - Although that might look a bit angry.

Pluto? Ganymede? Callisto?
