Bin the Biscuit!

It is the most pointless thing ever. Lends absolutely nothing to any discussion. If you've got no comment then there's no point in posting and your contribution is dull as ditchwater. If you're using it to imply that the OP is a tit then say so, don't use a bloody biscuit to hide behind. I hate it!

Discuss :)

It was GREAT. So funny. The whole thing was weirdness itself to start with and then you shambled in completely blind.

Grin You remember that? That was very very surreal... blardy IE!

But people were so kind weren't they? Everyone ID'd themselves on each post whilst laughing their socks off at the weirdo

"It is the most pointless thing ever"

no, that accolade goes to the bear.

Oi swanker, do you remember that 5th dimension thread of QS's where it wasn't in active convos and you couldn't see anyone else's name?

That was fun.

Get rid of all the emoticons AND all the usernames, maybe all the topics too, just for a few days. Let's tip this baby over, hoover up the dog hair underneath and then start afresh.

I also hate people using AIBU for inanities.

AIBU to want to eat a biscuit?

AIBU to think we should all have a chat about having a glass of wine

Yes YOU ARE!

[grumpy]

squeaver · 01/07/2011 13:30

I hate the biscuit.

But I truly DESPISE the bloody wine glass and the bloody mug. They are crap and make us look like sub-Netmums.

no he;s whistling, biscuit man isn't a dirty smoker how dare you!

I think if you're going to lose the biscuit you'd have to get rid of the wine and brew too.

Passing round Wine, Brew and Biscuits is very sociable but doesn't really add much to the discussion.

And that was really my first biscuit as I've never found a suitable use for it before!

The Biscuit can stay but the Bear has to go.

Tortington · 01/07/2011 13:09

i think the pointlessness is the genius

i can't see how you can't see that?!

Gwendoline, I am behind you one hundred per cent.

And not only because I'm assuming The Boys won't look there.

Slubberdegullion · 01/07/2011 12:58

Hmm right back atcha swaker.

Incentivise! That's what this site needs more of. Positive reward based strategies to improve behaviour.

allhailtheaubergine · 01/07/2011 12:04

I agree. The biscuit is a bunch of arse. Especially when preceded by the words "...my very first".

Hmm is excellent.

:) is superb when used correctly.

I quite enjoy Confused too, but only in a passive aggressive "what on earth can you possibly be twittering about" sort of way.

No, you can't touch Hmm. I have been known to write [hmm ] on FB and the like where the icon doesn't exist. I miss it when it's not there!

Hmm Slubber.

The Hmm is the best one! Just leave that, and take all the rest.

Slubberdegullion · 01/07/2011 11:23

I think you should get rid of ALL of them for a week and then give them back one at a time for good behaviour. You can hold the Hmm back as like the ultimate reward when mn has accomplished something joyful and helpful, like resolving the pensions crisis or Prince William's hair loss.

Alright, I'll give you that. They are very good boobs... far superior to (.)(.) although the latter more correctly represents mine. Don't think they were ever as perky as the biscuits

They do make good boobs though!

Cattleprod · 01/07/2011 09:54

I would like clarification as to whether it is a stale-tasting, overpriced jammy dodger, or the far superior type of biscuit with the white cream inside and sugar sprinkled over the jam section.

Would make a big difference as to whether I approve or not. Smile
