All We want for Christmas is a Fleur De Lys? (AKA The Musketeers are back and the wenches are pleading...)

[IntheBleakMiladyBeeeWinter]

So, lovely MumsnetHQ, on the 2 Jan The Musketeers are back for season 2. With extra added Marc Warren to make up for the lack of a Capaldi.

We are sure you'll agree that they will be just the thing to brighten up and decorate those cold January Friday nights. We were wondering if we could get a Musketeer emoticon to celebrate? So that we can brighten up and decorate the thread once the Christmas decs come down?

We are on thread 80 (ish) and still going strong - though we do appreciate that we are possibly more trouble than we are worth at times . Please, with cherries on top?

Yes. Yes you have.

A fleur de lis would be practical too It's quite royal and can be used for new Royal Baby stuff.

In fact a star would be handy too.

G'wan. ta. [fleur]

I think a fleur de lys would be extremely nice to have.

And a star would be jolly lovely.

Thank you so much MNHQ. I like to be polite.

Dear MumsnetTowers

We have all been good wenches this year. And so please please please please please please please may we have a fleur?

And I really do think Owl should have a star. That'd be useful for all sorts too.

Respectfully yours

The Comtess de la Fere

Here is a song...it's called:

MUMSNET PLEASE GIVE US A MUSKETEERS EMOTICON
(to the tune of Shakira's Whenever, Wherever)

Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Can't you see,
We're begging you please for...

Wenchalways, wenchever,
We will wench on together
While Musketeers are wearing leather,
We will wench on forever

Lucky Athos does that sullen leaning,
That gives Comtesse that special feeling

Luck Dog can grow some facial hair now,
He doesn't look so underage now

Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Can't you see,
We're on our knees for...

Wenchonward, wenchupward,
We will wench on together
While Musketeers are wearing leather,
We will wench on forever

Lucky Howie's laugh's so deep and dirty,
Flops and Norah get damp and flirty

Lucky fenches can't stalk Santi on Facebook,
Sparks would give them a right catsbumfacelook

Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Hey ho, hey ho, ho hey
Can't you see,
We're batshit crazeee for...
And in a taxiiiiiii for...

The Tavern, the Tavern,
Where we wench on together
While Musketeers are wearing leather,
We will wench on forever

Madame ^^

On knees and begging please please give us a fleur de lys (other musketeer related emoticons will be acceptable) however Mave's argument re: regal makes sense.

And can Owl's thread have a star, her post bumped this for 15 seconds.

I live near HQ - I will come and work for free. Please let us have an emoticon.

M & M you are both incredibly talented there.

I love Shakira. Love her. Girl crush. Love her.

Please may we have fleur de lys.

As Dumas himself said, 'se il vous plaît pourrions-nous avoir une fleur de lys'.

Bravo madame!

Any song that rhymes facebook and catsbumfacelook has earned it's writer their request, please Mumsnet?

[fleur]

Madame that is AWESOME. Just. Brilliant.

Madame you are an absolute genius. Bravo!!

[beardyman]

Brilliant Madame. Would you belieeeeve I just played that song and sang along with your words. Fantastic!

[fleur]

Awww thanks you guyz!!!

Mumsnet...please????

Star for Wooly Hugs is the one emoticon I'd like more than any other.

Any update?

I am going to take MN HQ silence as a sign that they are creating as we speak.

Maybe we should post them some pix of the boys for encouragement research purposes?

Or do some shakira hip shaking at them?

The emoticon list is v long. Could you pretend that the TARDIS is some sort of wench box?

Is that IT Kate? Seriously?
Are you trying to offend? Please don't be so flippant and dismissive.

NO WE BLOODY CANT

800000 posts!
800000!

Ahem...80,000 even

Is it loads and loads of work or is it the precedent? Cos I get both of those as reasons, it's just that we are soooooo excited and like Mavis said, other uses in future.....

I can see we have risen from the Ashes .
