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

Grin love what you just said about playmobil Norman. I'm new here but I have seen somuchtobits posts, we can't have enough people campaigning for a teacup so thanks for helping us norman!

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 16:35

That's no problem LadyP - it's what you'd expect from someone who represents the Tea Drinking Party as I do.

Joining Norman's campaign for a cupppa smilie.

I think Wine can be alcoholic or not as required. Looks quite like Ribena to me.

LadyP don't know how long you've been here but Norman and his playmobil crew did a fantastic general election! It's worth a search.

Thank you NewStig! And my owner (MasterSoMuch) is a big fan of Top Gear, so I have to say I like your name Grin

Thanks Norman. I needed a name change and as first episode of this seasons TG was on at the time, cheers to DH, it seemed appropriate :o

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 16:48

I see this campaign is an unattainable dream, perhaps we should head over to *mums I hear it's very colourful over there with smileys aplenty.......

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 16:49

No, no, LadyP, we mustn't give up! Shock

Lol, I keep seeing those as actual teddy bears rather than Pombears, and was wondering why one would wish to dunk one's teddy bear in one's Wine Blush

Thanks Norman I think we need more campaigners. How do we go about recruiting them?

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 17:10

I'm not too sure, except for keep bumping the thread. Or we could go round various threads this evening, and whenever anyone uses the Wine emoticon we could direct people to this thread. What do you think?

OP posts:
LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 17:16

Ooh might be a tad dangerous upsetting the wine party it has been a long time coming and no one will see sense tonight perhaps casually mention it and keep bumping

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 17:19

Well, the least we can do is patrol other threads, and if we find other people who suggest a cuppa emoticon, we can direct them here! I'll keep a look-out.....

norman didn't your master used to be given his teddy back at bedtime with a wine soaked ear, just so him mummy knew he'd go off to sleep quietly!

disclaimer - i am just joking, after all I'm talking to a playmobil man!

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:19

not sure a Friday night is a good time to try and convert the wine brigade!

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:20

x-posts with LadyP!

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 17:20

Lol NewStig! Big Teddy hates getting wet, so that would never have worked! Grin

Id like a cup of tea emoticon. and a [boggle]

NormanTheForeman · 04/02/2011 17:22

Actually I see the Wine as a step on the path towards a teacup emoticon. Wine today, tea tomorrow, one step at a time! Grin
