It's time was over about 5 years ago.

You KNOW my feelings.

I'm still feeling them.

Retire the useless dodger.

Gordon Brown refused to comment on what his favourite biscuit was before the last election. It turned out that he'd never actually been given the question (he'd had to have a selection of the questions read to him because of his sight).

Because the question had been asked a lot of times and it looked like he'd evaded it the biscuit symbol was started ...

That's about it isn't it?

Yes that makes sense! I thought another emoticon had been removed, one that I'd not seen. Phew, haven't missed anthing. As you were.

Gordon Brown.

But surely we need it for this election's politicians, who have been SO KEEN to come and do a webchat with us...

It's supposed to mean 'no comment' mortil.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 19/04/2015 20:37

Yes, it's had it's day, it's an old joke now and I hate the "here, have my first " comments, although you don't see them so often now (maybe everyone has given out their one and only biscuit).

CanIKondo · 19/04/2015 20:37

Gordon Brown...

mortil2 · 19/04/2015 20:36

I'm fairly new and have not quite sussed out what it means, but am willing to learn

Sparklingbrook · 19/04/2015 20:36

I agree. It's a very old stale biscuit now.

FluffyTheEvilOne · 19/04/2015 20:35

I've always wondered about the biscuit. I know it's a ODFOD thing, but never knew why. Do you mean it refers to a specific incident/poster?

It has always seemed a bit weird to me...

QueenBean · 19/04/2015 20:35

I HATE the biscuit

I am all in favour of the biscuit deletion

BastardGoDarkly · 19/04/2015 20:34

Yes, what was brown? Why are you so anti biscuit Honey ?

scaevola · 19/04/2015 20:33

It's a VAT question, isn't it?

There have been huge court cases on the rate payable, depending on whether it is or

Catnuzzle · 19/04/2015 20:32

What was Brown?

Mn is huge. Most users don't know what to do with it.

And it's stupid.

Brown's gone so the biscuit should go too.

I do love a biscuit

HydrochloricTulip · 19/04/2015 20:30

I think we should have a choice of different biscuits, a rich tea for when we're feeling mean or a maryland cookie for when we're slightly more generous :)

UnsolvedMystery · 19/04/2015 20:29

What's wrong with the biscuit?
