So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

Bear

That is all.

Norman time for me to escape from my alternate reality here on MN. DD2 has just run in saying "wee on carpet" so for now, and as it's a Friday, I'm off to clear up the mess, pour myself something stronger that either a [cuppa] or a Wine to enjoy whilst making some dinner. Good Luck with the evening's campaigning.

LadyOfTheManor · 04/02/2011 17:34

I'd like a jug and water glass actually. Come on MN pull yer fingers out.

I think we should start from this thread and march to MNHQ. With placards. And don't forget to take a cuppa with you, we'll need tea to sustain us on the march....

Yes or what about a non alcoholic sparkling beverage.

Half of us are functioning alcoholics anyway and surely this is just more temptation.

Lol, SoMuch does like a nice glass of wine herself (as well as tea), but her ds is very good at sleeping. Probably because myself and my mates wear him out during the day... Grin

And Big Teddy loves tea....

Norman glad you can see the funny side, was worried I'd get accused of bringing SMTB into disrepute. Am saved by the Teddy!

Actually I see the Wine as a step on the path towards a teacup emoticon. Wine today, tea tomorrow, one step at a time! Grin

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:19

not sure a Friday night is a good time to try and convert the wine brigade!

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:19

norman didn't your master used to be given his teddy back at bedtime with a wine soaked ear, just so him mummy knew he'd go off to sleep quietly!

disclaimer - i am just joking, after all I'm talking to a playmobil man!

Well, the least we can do is patrol other threads, and if we find other people who suggest a cuppa emoticon, we can direct them here! I'll keep a look-out.....

Ooh might be a tad dangerous upsetting the wine party it has been a long time coming and no one will see sense tonight perhaps casually mention it and keep bumping

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 17:10

I'm not too sure, except for keep bumping the thread. Or we could go round various threads this evening, and whenever anyone uses the Wine emoticon we could direct people to this thread. What do you think?

OP posts:
LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 17:02

Thanks Norman I think we need more campaigners. How do we go about recruiting them?

Lol, I keep seeing those as actual teddy bears rather than Pombears, and was wondering why one would wish to dunk one's teddy bear in one's Wine Blush

OP posts:
LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 16:59
