Valentines emoticons?

34 replies

Dear MNHQ,
I am feeling particularly romantic in the run up to Valentine's day. Are we going to have heart emoticons?

only if they are anatomically correct, pls.

SoupDragon · 03/02/2011 21:18

Oh dear god, no. I will have to leave MN until they have gone since I am not feeling romantic in the slightest.

Barftastic.

Please can we have valentine's day emoticons?

Also can we have St. Davids day emoticons?

Pretty please Grin

MissAnthrope · 04/02/2011 02:22

No. No. No. No. No.

It's just too far.

Tee2072 · 04/02/2011 06:06

So, what? Heart shaped smiles?

God, no.

What is all this about a wine glass emoticon?

IngridBergmann · 04/02/2011 07:28

Oh please no.

It will just remind those of us without any cards or flowers what we are missing...this place should be a sanctuary, not an extension of the high street.

Wine glass is fine.

Those who DO have flowers and cards don't NEED any more. And those of us without really don't want reminding.

just turn the smilies red or pink in heart shapes.

We could have little wings on the smilies, so that they look like cherubs.

BeatriceLaBranche · 06/02/2011 17:47

I guess penelope doesn't want sparkly shit then Sad

penelopestitsdropped · 06/02/2011 17:55

how did you guess?

not just sparkly shit. any shit.

The pictures are just a way of making this site too much like netmums. it is one step closer to a ticker.

if you are angry then type the words, dont be lazy and draw a smiley face.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 06/02/2011 18:01

Not even emoticons with little arrows through them?

OP posts:
BeatriceLaBranche · 06/02/2011 18:08

Ahh now penelope, when people just don't get sarcasm, how else are they supposed to express their passive aggressiveness?

Definitely more unicorn vomit needed methinks.

BeatriceLaBranche · 06/02/2011 18:10

10 seconds since I had thoughts
4 minutes since I last expressed sparkly shit thoughts

penelopestitsdropped · 06/02/2011 18:10

when they dont get the sarcasm you merely type "that was sarcasm you pratt"

whomovedmychocolate · 06/02/2011 18:11

there you go Beryl Grin

BeatriceLaBranche · 06/02/2011 18:11

Ha, no I think this Hmm, can never be redundant.

BeatriceLaBranche · 06/02/2011 18:13

One of those little faces with an arrow through it would be an idea? An anti valentine maybe.

I think BabyDragon did sparkly shit once after a craft session.

Please no. As it is WHSmith is making me mildly suicidal.
