the disturbing lack of...

[SillyBeardyDaddyman]

...A raspberry emoticon!

I notice that in my absence you've added a cake emoticon, but are still lacking the much desired and demanded raspberry!

WTF?

I know you must've commissioned it, so I can only assume that something's gone wrong on your servers and that's why it's currently unavailable.

I look forward to [raspberry]ing you soon

Much love.

IIRC, Tech made the cake as a leaving present for HelenMumsnet!

Helen's gone!

What else have I missed?!?

Oh, so so much. It's been quite an eventful Summer

OliviaMumsnet is expecting twins, so we can't bribe her with gin at the moment.

There was a wedding/bridezilla thread, which ended up being 4 threads as the bridezilla just got worse and worse, whilst the OP (TidyDancer) was remaining calm and dignified. Just advance search Gluezilla.

I'm sure there's loads more, but I can't remember right now.

You snooze, you lose [raspberry]

There was the mystery of the disappearing 'words on a screen/trust nae fucker' poster, yet to be resolved.

and other stuff.

you've missed loads

Blimey...

I'm gonna have to put some time aside to dissect the last 6 months of MN history!

As for you Rebecca and your mocking [raspberry]... I'll think of something suitably evil...

How the holy fuck are you meant to deal with olivia if she can't get loaded on gin?!? Argh!!!

"You snooze, you lose [raspberry]" - that is utterly hilarious, Rebecca

I've thought of a couple more :

There was a massive argument in a petrol station - but it was deleted (I don't know why)

There was a huge shenanigan about a birthday party in a soft play venue (apparently an A List and a B List - of 4 (?) year old guests)

Anyway, Beardy, never mind Olivia and her non-gin-drinking situation. You could always offer Tech some Manhattans?
