to LOVE to confused "smiley" on mumsnet?!

[ButteryBiscuitBase]

It makes me smile everytime I see the confused smiley face on a post! It endears me to the poster even if I don't agree with them!

Also, how the hell do you insert the flipping smileys? I can't do it! I use mumsnet on my phone is that why???

What does brap brap brap mean?

Yes or [really pissed off] or [glares].

Very effective. Giving them brackets makes them more official.

Wahoo! Sleep well pppop. Glad I'm not the only one! Not sure if I'm brave enough to use I always find those posters a bit intimidating!

This is like when you learn to do a handstand!

Oh the brap thing is what my dp says if something good happens!

[chortle] at [enlightened] emoticon. Perhaps we need a lightbulb smiley?

I keep thinking there should be a [guilty] one as it's such a popular word on MN. And a [tired] smiley with sleepy eyes?

And a [sorry I'm wittering now] emoticon!

I love confused smiley. It's my best one.

I feel I look like that a lot and that face covers a range of emotions. I find useful for expressing bewilderment, befuddlement and the fact of having new glasses that don't really suit me.

oh look, he's so cute. I think he is a he.

I think he's a he too. Perhaps he should have a name. How about Nigel? [goes too far emoticon.]

My blackberry has some good ones, [rolls eyes] [can't watch] [nerd]

I think I know why I like it! Zippy from rainbow!

Or on second inspection, helen ledderer [can't spell]

Oooh he does look like zippy, you're right! Did you have a [brainwave]?

Do you know there are posters who design new emoticons and bombard MNHQ with suggestions? Something to do with pus porn. (No, me neither! )

Am fully laughing at Helen Lederer.

Oh I love the Blackberry nerd one!

Someone gave me a [no comment] once and I though it was a boob and they were calling me a tit... They should put one of them on for the breastfeeding board.

Shame they don't have all the blackberry ones here, you could really piss someone off with talk to the hand!

No comment is a biscuit, biscuit!

I keep wanting to use MN strike-through in RL (texts, emails, letters etc.) as there's just so much passive-aggressive emotion between the lines.

You should have that after the tired on your nickname, it honestly looks like a tit! Or at a push a coconut macaroon, is it supposed to be a jammy dodger?
