Aibu to ask mnhq for ekl icon

[londonrach]

Please mnhq we need ekl. I love the fact that ops post in now in classics but an icon would be lovely. I'm trying to use her wisdom at the moment and it's working....

I have no idea whatsoever what you are one about but I like Elk if that helps

There's a thread about the Karting League?

Drat, missed that (off to search). Was there really enough interest to have a little Kart (like the bike)?

Yes, it was an unusual thread and just reading about the elderly Korean lady made me feel all calm and serene.

I would like lessons in how to reach that zen state shown by that tiny elderly Korean lady.

The EKL thread was fab!

Ekl is the best post ever by boys I think. Look in classics. Be warned though you need time and tissues...

MNHQ won't see this thread. You could re-post in Site Stuff to ask for a EKL emoticon [pinkvisor]

Can someone do that please fru. I think I need her and I'm sure others do

What's an ekl?

Oooh yes! Then we could have an Elderly Jamaican Woman icon or a Short Welsh Woman icon. I know - a Short Elderly Second Generation Polish Immigrant Woman icon!

AIBU to ask that people maybe think before they type?

shake, read this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/2154580-There-is-a-tiny-elderly-Korean-lady-in-my-garden-and-I-want-to-go-out? (it might take you a while). It is the most charming and calming thread - from this weekend.

Essentially, the OP and her DH were selling their garden summerhouse, which was bought by a Korean gentleman. He bought his mother along to the OP's house whilst they were dismantling the summerhouse, and she sat in their garden for the whole day and charmed the whole family .... well, read the thread, it's so lovely!

Zero, have you read the original thread? It has nothing to do with nationality/age/background/ethnicity/whatever. And the icon requested has nothing to do with 'a person', it was to do with the pink visor which the lady in question was wearing. The OP thought her 'guest's' pink visor was lovely.

Pink visor plea from me too x

Dear god no. Not another ridiculous emoticon like the pointless bear.

Yes of course I've read the original thread! Why would I comment without any knowledge of what I'm talking about?

It was the most charming and gentle thread helped by being beautifully written by the OP- so yes,yes,yes to a pink visor

Zero you've jumped in with both feet there , do you have a clue about the thread in question?, it was gentle and kind and lovely to read, no negativity at all.

Zero bad day?

There must be something wrong with me

I liked the thread...I thought it was amusing but I just don't get the gushing I've seen about it on various threads since.

Fru - thank you :-) I'll have a read.

I saw the thread. Can't see what the fuss is about. I'm having a bad day.

I think we could all do with channelling ekl.
The thread was beautiful. It was a snapshot of an unexpected pleasure, taking life as it comes and enjoying a gift.

I particularly liked the bit where she brought out the lunch, it was fab!

Had a quick skim read, it's a nice enough thread but......( get a grip people )

Shake maybe you had to be there in real time. It was a special day and the icon (pink visor or elk icon) means a lot... Mnhq I think a lot of readings and posters would like one

It could be a secret one like the is. [pinkvisor]
