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,

Norman x

I see this campaign is an unattainable dream, perhaps we should head over to *mums I hear it's very colourful over there with smileys aplenty.......

Thanks Norman. I needed a name change and as first episode of this seasons TG was on at the time, cheers to DH, it seemed appropriate :o

Thank you NewStig! And my owner (MasterSoMuch) is a big fan of Top Gear, so I have to say I like your name Grin

Joining Norman's campaign for a cupppa smilie.

I think Wine can be alcoholic or not as required. Looks quite like Ribena to me.

LadyP don't know how long you've been here but Norman and his playmobil crew did a fantastic general election! It's worth a search.

That's no problem LadyP - it's what you'd expect from someone who represents the Tea Drinking Party as I do.

Ah, but Maryz that would be discriminatory to people posting in Australia, for example....

Lol, LadyP, I am sort of a bloke.... I am a Playmobil plastic figure, not actually a Dad.

I belong to the ds of SoMuchToBits, so she has kindly lent me the use of her MN registration so that I can campaign for a cuppa emoticon. Smile

Oh, YES, definitely a judgey pants!

MadameOvary · 04/02/2011 16:23

Tea...hmmm ok.
But not cake. Before you know it that will lead to chocolates, stilettos, a heart...you can see where I'm going with this can't you?

CuppaTeaJanice · 04/02/2011 16:23

Well ok I do like hot chocolate, but it has to have squirty cream piled high like a Mr Whippy ice cream. It would be evident from the tea smiley that the cream was missing.

Still think we should have a judgey pants emoticon though.

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 16:20

No probs Norman? Anything for a cuppa. Are you a bloke? Not being sexist but shouldn't you be on dadsnet?

PorkChopSter · 04/02/2011 16:20

[hot beverage] probably suffices.

Do you like any other hot beverages Janice? The cuppa emoticon could cover any of them. Otherwise we may have to ask for a glass of water/beer/whatever emoticon as well.....

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 16:16

Oh come on us lovely ladies we love our cuppa.
I want a teacup I want a teacup

Nickel, I usually do leave an hour (have cuppa when get up, then eat breakfast after returning from dropping ds at school) Grin

OP posts:
CuppaTeaJanice · 04/02/2011 16:15

What about those of us who don't like wine or tea?

At least I like biscuits Grin, but just to clarify, are they the sort with jam and cream in the middle (yum) or the similar looking but inferior tasting jammy dodgers?

Redbush isn't real tea, but you could use the cuppa emoticon for all hot beverages! It's very inclusive!
