[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.

If we could have an I love Stephen Fry emoticon that'd be GOOD. (am watching QI)

Just had to post a HEEEEEEEYYUUUUUUUUGE vote of respect to the floral fuck off.

Whoever originally did that was VERY bored and VERY clever and I love them.

I

I am so ENVIOUS of the floral fuck off.

I couldn't do that if I tried, it would be like partciularly complicated cross stitch.

YES sgm totally agree re the biscuit.

I also

I don't think I have ever eaten a pombear tbh.

I ate a ketchup flavoured one in France. The flavour was "Le Ketchup".

Le tossers.

Hahaaaaa le ketchup.

I used to know all the words to that Las ketchup song (aserje de je de je de je etc etc) drspite not speaking a word of spanish.

I agree the bear and the biscuit should go.

They've had their 15 minutes of fame. That's all they deserve.

I do like the idea of a secret emoticon though.

Can I vote for [fuck off] which would appear on the page as and you would never know if the person who posted it was telling you to [fuck off] or not. Though to be honest, with it's the same thing really isn't it?

Yes - the passive aggressive smiley as patented by Bonsoir.

I love it.

maybe in honour of bonsoir it could be [encule toi] which results in the ?

Kill the bear and the biscuit. Yes.

I like the secret emoticon idea. Would MNHQ email particular posters then, to let them in on the secret.

So, once you have been on MN for a year, you get a special email with the [fuck off] code.

no - you'd just have to be bored enough to work it out.

I have never done the [be*r]

And I'm not about to start now.

I'm going to have to check every now and then for secret smileys I haven't been told about

encule toi!

Oh yes what a fantastic idea - a secret nasty emoticon. THAT conjuures up the spitir of mumsnet to me.

Yes, lose the bear. The thread wasn't funny at all. I feel indifferent to the biscuit, I never use it unless I am actually offering someone a virtual . Which I do not think was it's intention.

Feel better soon GOML.

[soft toy to cuddle for emotional support emoticon]

And the floral fuck off is fab!

Just adding my support to all in favour of killing the bear/ wine/ cup etc.
Also I would like to ask if it's possible to adapt this . Rather than envy it would have far more use as [puke]. Well from me anyway. I find it necessary to [puke] regularly. On here. Not indiscriminately.

FFS. Its intention, obviously. ::Slaps forehead and blames wine and exhaustion::

oo Sancerre - maybe you're right and there ARE more secret smilies we don't know about!

Right:

[netmums]
[nethuns]
[aibu]
[tits]
[soupbat]
