It's time was over about 5 years ago.

You KNOW my feelings.

I'm still feeling them.

Retire the useless dodger.

The biscuit is rubbish.

Nayville · 19/04/2015 21:13

Yes when did the Star come about? And why?

I also don't understand the popularity of Pom Bears here

Am surprised there's not a pic of a gavel or klaxon!

I like the biscuit.

Why did people say '4'? I haven't been here long enough to remember that.

Hang on though, will people go back to the even worse response of 4 or arf? In which case, please keep the biscuit!

Sparklingbrook · 19/04/2015 21:03

I was surprised that as we had a Pom Bear emoticon for the criminally unfunny Pom Bear thread we didn't get a penis one for the even worse Penis Beaker crapola.

Nydj · 19/04/2015 21:02

It's worse because Gordon Brown wasn't being evasive and had simply not been asked to answer that particular question - so it didnt originally represent 'no comment'.

LynetteScavo · 19/04/2015 21:01

No, Save the Biscuit Have a [bourbon] one too.

What the hell is the Star for Confused

With some Biscuit few slices of Cake and a bowl Bear you can have a party! Smile

GlitterTwinkleToes · 19/04/2015 21:01

It looks better with a bonnet on Biscuit

cate16 · 19/04/2015 20:54

Well I always thought it meant arsehole..

Lanaandmaria2014 · 19/04/2015 20:51

I think it looks like a boob, but perfectly normal to talk about BF on here.

ImperialBlether · 19/04/2015 20:51

I thought that whole thing was really embarrassing. Everyone had the chance to talk to a prime minister and they asked him what his favourite biscuit was. It was awful.

I agree with the OP - get rid of it, MN! Please don't remind us of that thread.

Akire · 19/04/2015 20:50

Took me ages , thought it was some kind of breast/nipple!

QuickQuickSloe · 19/04/2015 20:49

But two biscuits look a bit like boobs!

you know how a joke is only really funny once...

PippiLicious · 19/04/2015 20:49

Agreed. Get rid of the biscuit.

And anyone who says "Here OP, have my first ever Biscuit"

26Point2Miles · 19/04/2015 20:48

His fave was choc digestive if I remember rightly
It was me and another mner asking the question ( after a pre GB discussion with mnhq quizzing them over having the best biscuits out ready)

The whole thing went viral, making the news. Many MNers were disgusted as it gave out the message that mumsnet could only talk about biscuits and not discuss politics

HydrochloricTulip · 19/04/2015 20:47

Perhaps the biscuit is feeling unloved as being used so negatively, that's why we need a variety of biscuits to show our love and appreciation for everybody? Or should I just go and join Netmums?

I campaign for a Positive Biscuit Icon :)

WhenMarnieWasThere · 19/04/2015 20:44

I've always interpreted the Biscuit as meaning 'Well, that takes the biscuit' when posters can't believe what they've just read.
