oh arse they have just changed it...

...it DID say "For a I have nothing to say face..."

and I was going to ask should it not be "for AN I have...."

but between deciding to start the thread and typing it it has changed and now just says "For a biscuit face" whatever one of those is!!!!

obviously tech has been doing his homework and realised the error of his ways

When I first saw the biscuit face, I thought it was a cat's bum emoticon.

LackaDAISYcal · 05/11/2009 01:15

lol BP

It looks a lot more sophisticated than the other smileys though and more than a little out of place!

Oh, I'm confused because the legend says "For a I have nothing to say on this matter face..." again.

Inverted commas needed at the very least; shame on you tech!

What Is a Biscuit Face? Could someone enlighten me?

Monty100 · 06/11/2009 00:23

It looks like some little easter chicks that I hang around at easter (obv lol).

Doesn't look like a biscuit let alone a jammy dodger.

Why do you need something to indicate you have nothing to say? Surely if you have nothing to say, then you say nothing.

GunpowderTreasonAndDragons · 06/11/2009 10:13

Mine still says "For a I have nothing to say on this matter face,"

GrimmaTheNome · 06/11/2009 10:17

Its a jam ring with a couple of flies on it.

Ah, but this is MN. When do we ever really have nothing to say.

Even when we are speechless we ramble on...

It's an special smiley for Gordon Brown to use during his next Mumsnet webchat, when he is asked what his favourite biscuit is, he can just reply,

""

FlappyTheBat · 06/11/2009 10:25

should have been "a" not "an"

Jacksmama · 06/11/2009 14:46

Where did the eyes go on the "I have nothing to say" face??
And why did they go away?

And why ? I don't understand!!!!!

Jacksmama · 06/11/2009 15:15

StealthPolarBear · 06/11/2009 15:18

It's not my eyes??

swampster · 06/11/2009 15:42

It was better before, it looked like a duck.

Jacksmama · 06/11/2009 21:36

What is it supposed to be now? I don't understand, it looks like a darts target.
