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

I like that one too BF.

Maybe it could be replaced with another Sesame Street stylee face. I suggest Bert.

DottyDot · 05/11/2009 14:39

I don't like it 'cos it doesn't fit in with the others control freak.

Unlike which I love and copy and paste onto e-mails at work on a regular basis...

BiscuitFace · 05/11/2009 14:38

don't be so rude, i am sure you will learn to love me. anything is better than that fecking

CitizenPrecious · 05/11/2009 14:35

VinegarTits it reminds me of Sesame Street as well. And biscuits.

For those reasons it gives me a nice warm happy feeling. Please don't take it away, Justine!

Deadworm · 05/11/2009 13:52

Well, that remark really scoffs takes the biscuit.

Alright alright women, we'll try a few more options and you can see which you like best

Songbird · 05/11/2009 13:11

I don't get it. Please enlighten me if I've missed something. why a biscuit?!?!?

Boco · 05/11/2009 13:07

True Swedes, I don't suppose it crops up much either - answer the question you don't know about before it hits the tabloids as a sure sign that you're not down wiv the mothers.

I always hated parp. So uncouth

Swedes2Turnips0 · 05/11/2009 13:03

Strictly speaking instead of " I have nothing to say on this matter" it should mean "Answer the question which I haven't in fact asked you once, let alone 12 times" Which isn't so punchy.

Giant snort at disable cookies.

If Justine was thinking straight (instead of snorting lines of crystal meth tabs in a yurt) she would have asked a McVities to sponsor the biscuit. So we'd get an actual picture of a proper biscuit and not the Usbourne Books duck. I'd really like it to be a bourbon placed in the vertical as we need the biscuit to say Up Yours.

Bodeniiites · 05/11/2009 12:54

i thought it was an early snowman who looks a bit jaundiced

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:50

I suppose it is a more twee version of saying 'parp'

No one ever says 'parp' anymore, do they?

VinegarTitsOnFire · 05/11/2009 12:44

It looks like big bird from Sesame Street

DandyDazzler · 05/11/2009 12:36

I thought it was for Red Nose Day too.

at disable cookies.

Like the idea of the biscuit emoticon, but not the exectuion. Agree it shouldn't have eyes. Could it have a black outline too please?

LilyBolero · 05/11/2009 12:35

It looks like a Comic relief red-nose wearing chick.

Boco · 05/11/2009 12:35

I meant obsolete. Or maybe I meant ocelot.

Boco · 05/11/2009 12:34

I think the idea of 'I have nothing more to say on the matter' is osolete on mumsnet, so surely it'll never get used

morningpaper · 05/11/2009 12:28

DITCH THE EYES

noddyholder · 05/11/2009 12:26

I didn't realise it was a biscuit thought it was for red nose day!

pofacedandproud · 05/11/2009 12:26

missed 'disable cookies' Heh heh.

TigerFeet · 05/11/2009 12:25

it would be better without eyes

i do like it though, more the concept than the emoticon itself probably

"disable cookies"

shabbapinkfrog · 05/11/2009 12:23

I have it on good authority from my Grandson (aged 17 months) that it is a duck!!

He's sat on my knee, helping me Mumsnet and screaming 'wak wak' and pointing at it!!

Seeing as he has a Daffy Duck tshirt on it that says 'IM THE BOSS!' I am not arguing with him!
