[GetOrfMo1Land]

(that is a picture of the bear getting shot by a crossbow)

I hate it.

Please get rid of it.

Please. I am not the only one who loathes it, honest guv.

I feel pretty ambivalent about the , although I do rather like that it doesn't feature in the list.

and replace it with [beer] and [boil]

You're on a mission.

Yes to getting rid of the damn bear. You can scrap aibu while you're at it. And the biscuit.

I feel ambivalent about all the emoticons, apart from and the passive aggressive .

I have a soft spot for the flowers because someone wrote fuck off with floweers and smeileys and it was geniius.

I don't GET the bastard biscuit and bastard wine glass, but have a soft spot for the mug with cannabis leaf on it.

LOATHE the bear. HATE.

YES kill the biscuit IT IS A REMINDER OF AN EMBARASSING EPISODE WHEN PEOPLE MADE FOOLS OF THEMSEOVES WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER WAS HERE

Get rid of all the emoticons apart from the bog standard wink, smile, grin, angry, sad ones. You know, the ones from when it was all fields etc.

It's like EmoticonsRUs round these parts now.

I am shouty today.

It is the tramadol.

Yes get rid of the bear. I think I was the only NE who didn't actually find the pombear thread funny.

If you get rid of the flowers though I'd be very sad. I don't much like the tea or wine one either.

Yes, I agree with hassled actually, I feel like I am a representative of a hezbolah splinter-faction of mumsnet, with fundamentalist and tradityional views on how things should be.

4 emoticons max.

I didn't think the pom bear thread was funny either.

It was like the MN equivalent of Miranda. Fuck all happened.

No no hassled we must keep the flowers. For the flowery fuck off. which I might have lost actually

Kill the bear.

Please don't say that sancerre.

I loved the floral fuck off. Valpolicella will have it hopefully.

yes. it's shit

TBH I can see why the flowers should stay. The flowers have a sort of niceness/best of MN thing going for them. But it sticks in my throat to say it on account of my distaste for All Things New.

Yes - I accept the flowers should stay because of the sentiment behind them (actually because of the floral fuck off).

There is NO REASON for the bear to stay.

NOBODY LIKES IT.

I did a scientific published survey and everything.

I read that research. It was in a very highly thought of scientific journal

It was highly regarded by peers and everything. Was empirical.

KILL HIM.

All the pictures are twee shite imo

can't stand the faces with stupid hats on WEEKS before the actual event either

grump grump grump

YAY

People rally round!

I feel like Wat Tyler.

I'm all for getting rid of the bear, biscuit, tea and wine . Oh, perhaps we need a emoticon?

I'm sorry I missed the flowery fuck off.

I liked the dragon thingy which was used for something welsh.

Don't be shouty
It's my birthday

We need a twat emoticon.

I have been asking for that for years.

Nobody ever fucking listens to me.
