Get rid of all the emoticons apart from the bog standard wink, smile, grin, angry, sad ones. You know, the ones from when it was all fields etc.

It's like EmoticonsRUs round these parts now.

I feel ambivalent about all the emoticons, apart from Hmm and the passive aggressive Smile.

I have a soft spot for the flowers because someone wrote fuck off with floweers and smeileys and it was geniius.

I don't GET the bastard biscuit and bastard wine glass, but have a soft spot for the mug with cannabis leaf on it.

LOATHE the bear. HATE.

Yes to getting rid of the damn bear. You can scrap aibu while you're at it. And the biscuit.

I feel pretty ambivalent about the Bear, although I do rather like that it doesn't feature in the list.
