Seriously now, can we have a new emoticon?

Seeing as how we have all been asking for years for various new emoticons and have just been fobbed off.

There have been requests for (and check out my dedication to the cause) wine glasses, a frown , another frown, a vomit, a yawn (and my personal favourite) a shrug, and a twat and nothing.

I mean, you gave us our biscuit after all the media hysteria on biscuitgate so I assumed we were going to have to need a very good reason, but the confused face just appeared, and the bear? Well that was just from one thread that wasnt even funny.

One Fricking Thread? And there is a whole new emoticon? How is that fair?

So I am hereby officially requesting a [yawn] or [shrug] for when someone is being incredibly dull, (and I am sure someone will be along to add a request for a [twat] although I can see that that might be construed as a personal insult...)

So any chance you could actually answer us instead of ignoring us on the AIBU thread would be great

No. You can't.

They won't give me [boggle] so none of you can have anything else.

I think they should have given me [boggle] before even considering the bloody bear.

I love Hmm, it's so passive aggressive!

Nono, Biscuit is for no comment.

There isn't one for 'christ, that's dull'

I think we need a one in, one out policy.

So you can have a shrug, but Hmm must go.

I want rid of the bloody bear and a gingerbread man instead.

I thought that Biscuit was to be used in those situations?

Personally I would like a catsbumface emoticon.
