I HATE the biscuit face

it's wrong

it's the wrong colour, and it's all squashed up, and it looks incongruous next to all the other, REAL emoticons

paisleyleaf · 06/11/2009 16:43

Perhaps we can use it if someone's being a tit then.

FimboFortunaFeet · 06/11/2009 16:02

I think they look like boobs Paisleyleaf.

or -/ opera glasses??

TheFoosa · 06/11/2009 14:11

it needs to be a party ring really

Mumof · 06/11/2009 13:56

I thought it was a red nose face?

paisleyleaf · 06/11/2009 13:56

(just seeing if they look like breasts)

RustyBear · 06/11/2009 13:40

The eyes have gone!

Songbird · 06/11/2009 13:18

Ah yes, I missed the whole biscuit-gate thing (I know, I know!) Did he say 'I've got nothing to say on the matter', then?

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 06/11/2009 10:36

I want to know why we have asked really nicely loads of times for a couple of other emoticons, and campaigned at the start of this year for burns night ones, and there was not one tammy in sight.

Then biscuit-gate happens and a jammy dodger miraculously appears.

(actually I think a would be more appropriate!)

paisleyleaf · 06/11/2009 10:19

I don't think an 'I've got nothing to say on the matter' smiley is a bad idea.
But just a normal face like the others - with a straight line mouth. 'I'm saying nothing'.

LaurieScaryCake · 06/11/2009 08:10

I like

instead

reikizen · 06/11/2009 08:06

It's very netmums, do we get those ticker things next?

MmeGuisingt · 06/11/2009 07:48

I like it.

I think the original idea was to have a emoticon when you don't have anything to say but want the OP to know that you read and are feeling for her. A confectionary hug, so to say.

Then it all went biscuitshaped with GB and our lovely got hijacked.

ROFL at 'disable cookies'

nighbynight · 06/11/2009 07:32

I don't really get the biscuit either.

Wonderstuff · 05/11/2009 23:25

Dh said it was 'a bit gay' he isn't terribly well educated and that is obviously quite offensive and I did tell him so but I think that in fact he means its a bit umm, fluffy. On another forum there was an animated emoticon that rolled it's eyes, I liked that a lot.

JesusChristOtterStar · 05/11/2009 23:20

cant see why it looks biscuity at all

hides

Ivykaty44 · 05/11/2009 23:19

Its really only here for Children in Need and was wrong timing anyway as should have been brought out for red nose day but they forgot in their towers playing with their hairs.....

Songbird · 05/11/2009 23:16

why, even!

Songbird · 05/11/2009 23:16

No-one's explained ..... whay a biscuit?

MaureenMLove · 05/11/2009 18:32

Oh, it's lovely!

I might just post it on every single thread I look at, just to let people know I'm watching but have nothing to say!

It's cute!

Biobytes · 05/11/2009 18:31

I would like all of them to be as nice as the biscuit one. Now the face expressions in the current ones would be impossible to replicate...

BecauseImWorthIt · 05/11/2009 18:29

I like it too. It makes me think happy thoughts.

Can't one of you clever techy types make us one that fits with the others, pretty please? BigTech's far too busy breaking things to focus.
