So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

Norman x

Right, we're down to the last 5 hours. No slacking on the campaign.

Vote cups! Vote cups! Vote cups!

Sits down, a little tired and slurps tea>

SoMuch is also having a Wine, although I am sticking with the [tea] myself.

Right then! Less than 3 hours to go! Looks like we are still in the lead. Am amazed actually that so many people wanted cups! But delighted nonetheless.

Nearly there.... Only about 45 mins to go!

TheNewStig · 10/02/2011 23:31

30mins to go, poll's been unstickied, was going to go check the results.

TheNewStig · 10/02/2011 23:35

found it! still a sticky on site stuff.
374:84 so unless there's a massive influx of "unpleasant" posters it looks like Norman can claim a victory for the [cup] brigade.

by the by, how comes MN plonk (pun intended) a Wine on us but we have to vote for a [tea]?

Poll has been unstickied for most of the day by my reckoning. Still, the results are looking good so far. Well done to all our campaigners I say!

Ah, LadyP! I couldn't have done it without your help (and that of many other supporters).

I'm just off to bed in my portakabin, but hope to see you tomorrow!
