Emoticions ...can we have some more?

I agree with all those ideas, Jacey, but for some reason additional emoticons very rarely materialise. (Snowflake emoticon, anyone...).

What's a wooden spoon emoticon for, jacey? somebody else will be as baffled as I am so I'm asking for them as well.

Oh wait!

For stirrers?

Of course jing should have a giant one

My friend and I where always the winner's of "The Wooden Spoon" at the local pub quiz it was presented to the team who came last in the quiz

Yes ...but she certainly wouldn't be the only one ...and she'd only get it "in good fun "

Yes ...have never understood GNHQ's comment about 'not enough room' ...just make a third column!!

Or carry them on under the Links paragraph....

Anagram - Are you eluding to me? re. the snowflake!
Wooden spoon for you...............although I WAS successful with the sunshine!

Yes Butternut ...you were more successful than me ...in a previous life I asked for a 'can't stop laughing' one ...without success!!

I guess it depends on Tech's priorities. Maybe there are lots of more urgent things for Tech to do. Or maybe there aren't enough Techs. You'd think we could be told though. It would be appreciated.

...and I haven't given up on the Snowflake one, either. Just waiting..........!

Mind you, we have been told that he/she/it was very busy. I guess we just have to lump it.

But we can keep trying

I seem to remember there's only one Tech. B - or that was the 'snowflake' excuse, anyway......

I think tech is someone's husband!

I don't see why we can't import our own emoticons - they let us put links up.

Only one Tech assigned to gransnet, perhaps. Mumsnet have got a biscuit.

It looks like a jammie dodger.

Not that I want a biscuit, of course. Just sayin'.

I'm never argumentative, as you all know , so this is just for mischief. According to this site, it's perfectly acceptable for common or garden non-sailors to call the union flag the union jack.

What a relief!

Hmph! It's NOT CORRECT I repeat very loudlyITS NOT RIGHT!

Oh, I agree . I only said it was 'acceptable' for use by the hoi polloi . After all, it's what people say, right or wrong. It will become right through ignorant usage like many another incorrect thing in our language.

How true Bags!

H,ph! I'm going to go and sulk! (what are these young things coming to, with their loose use of language? Mutter! Mutter!)
