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

Norman glad you can see the funny side, was worried I'd get accused of bringing SMTB into disrepute. Am saved by the Teddy!

Lol, SoMuch does like a nice glass of wine herself (as well as tea), but her ds is very good at sleeping. Probably because myself and my mates wear him out during the day... Grin

And Big Teddy loves tea....

ooooh yes!!!

IngridBergmann · 04/02/2011 17:30

Yes or what about a non alcoholic sparkling beverage.

Half of us are functioning alcoholics anyway and surely this is just more temptation.

I think we should start from this thread and march to MNHQ. With placards. And don't forget to take a cuppa with you, we'll need tea to sustain us on the march....

I'd like a jug and water glass actually. Come on MN pull yer fingers out.

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:35

Norman time for me to escape from my alternate reality here on MN. DD2 has just run in saying "wee on carpet" so for now, and as it's a Friday, I'm off to clear up the mess, pour myself something stronger that either a [cuppa] or a Wine to enjoy whilst making some dinner. Good Luck with the evening's campaigning.

That is all.

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 17:35

LadyOfTheManor · 04/02/2011 17:37

Yeah I tried that.

looks like a silhouette of a face.

LadyOfTheManor · 04/02/2011 17:39

Lissie I did that too-looks like a mug not a cup.

IngridBergmann · 04/02/2011 17:41

Lissie that's like those ones you get in seaside cafes with a metal holder!!

LadyOfTheManor · 04/02/2011 17:42

That's better!

TheNewStig · 04/02/2011 17:42

LOTM - you're asking for a teacup with saucer! You'll be lucky, seeing as head of campaign Norman is a Foreman I get the feeling he's more after a mug of tea, after all can't think of last time I saw any teacups and saucers in use on a building site!

OracleInaCoracle · 04/02/2011 17:44

I love tea in a tea cup out of a tea pot. I have a special set that has cake plates too. noone else is allowed to touch it though.

LadyOfTheManor · 04/02/2011 17:44

I WASN'T asking anything! I was ASKED to produce one!

I want a water glass and jug actually.

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 17:44

If it holds tea I dont care what it is. Thanks lissie and LOTM,

ChippingInSmellyCheeseFreak · 04/02/2011 17:45

Helen - it's a slippery slope - first the wine glass, then the cup of tea, followed by a coffee mug, then it's the cake with the coffee, the chocolate, then it's the car, cat, dog, baby..... we might as well go straight to sparkles and tickers and be done with it....
