Darling MNHQ, please, please, please could you arrange for the Biscuit Emoticon to fucking do one?

Really, please, just make it go.

If people don't wish to comment, than they can simply

Not write anything at all

Or it's meant to be sneery.

Or someone misunderstands it and offers it nicely with tea. And then gets flounced at with impunity. As no one really knows whether it's offensive or not.

In fact there are so many interpretations of what the biscuit means according to each individual, that technically you could probably have an entire thread using only the biscuit, with each poster making a unique comment.

There's another election due soon, it stopped being ironic and funny about 5 months after the thread that birthed it.

Seriously, just retire it.

I'm sick of trying to figure out why someone may have posted a biscuit. Post something clever, post something stupid. But don't post Gordens fucking biscuit Angry

It had to be done... Sorry!

I don't mind the biscuit itself, but the very first biscuit thing really pisses me off. I think we should have tickers stating just how many biscuits have been given. That will stop the fuckers.

Like that HoneyDragon? Grin

kukeslala · 02/04/2014 21:30

Damn I think that was my very first biscuit, and I forgot the rule of letting every one know!

HoneyDragon · 02/04/2014 21:34

You are all asshats Grin

Just checking I could do a blank post. I agree with the op.that biscuits are annoying and pointless and make me fat

LyndaCartersBigPants · 02/04/2014 21:39

And while you're at it could you please change the bracketed word for flowers to Flowers so that they're suitable for every occasion, thanks!

Or even Thanks

LyndaCartersBigPants · 02/04/2014 21:40

Ooh you've done it already!!!

DaleyBum · 02/04/2014 21:41

I would like a medal emoticon.

When you get rid of the biscuit could we have a G&T instead Tech?
Please?
Pretty please?
Grin

RustyBear · 02/04/2014 21:47

Or the TARDIS back?

Nessalina · 02/04/2014 21:49

Actually, the thing that annoys me most about the Biscuit is that on the phone app it is represented by an emoticon of a Japanese rice ball with nori decoration. Fact.

PartialFancy · 02/04/2014 21:51

But... but... what will I have with my Brew?

ShimmeringInTheSun · 02/04/2014 21:52

Tardis not sure if this will work or not.

ShimmeringInTheSun · 02/04/2014 21:52

nope!

AryaOfHouseSnark · 02/04/2014 21:54

I think we need a [cat] emoticon or at the very least a [viper].

So true! I laughed at this!

Perhaps:
Shortbread
Bourbon
Cookie
Cracker
Jaffa
Rich tea?
See lots of nuances!
Then there's:
Cheesecake
Gateau
Tiramisu
Eclairs!

Wolfiefan · 02/04/2014 21:59

Now I'm bloody hungry!!
