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?

give them Wooly peeps the star and us the fecking lilly . whassa ishoo?

I think gransnet have a star. You could use theirs and a lickable man icon is not that hard to do, is it?

Please??? Go on...you know you want to...

MNHQ Kate, how long does it take please?
Is our order now placed?
What is the ETA please.
Please confirm that our request has been processed.

Judging by the Woolly hugs it takes forever and a day and is delivered by Yodel.

Delivered by Yodel, you say?

Come on, mumsnet, pleeeeeease!! Can we do anything to help?

Look, Ive done some picture research.

He's giving you The Stare. Especially for you, mn.

Imagine the scene.....somewhere in a BBC office in deepest Salford.....

Important BBC Comissioning Senior Person: "So... The Musketeers... Do we comission a 3rd series? Do they have a big enough fandom?"

JessPope: "Yes, yes they do. There is a strong female following as well as a tween boy fan base that are still heavily influenced by their mothers. They are incredibly prolific and write the most amazing hot fanfic and we are even considering merchandising opportunities."

Important BBC Comissioning Senior Person: "Hmm I don't know. What else can you tell me to help your case".

JessPope: "..... oh and Mumsnet like them. They even launched a new emoticon to celebrate the S2 UK launch."

Important BBC Comissioning Senior Person: "Mumsnet you say? Well why didn't you mention this earlier. If Mumsnet love The Musketeers then of course we must have a season 3. Oh and make sure you agree to any webchat requests they make....."

.......Mumsnet saves the Musketeers, ensures BBC goodwill and snags fantastic webchat interview opportunity in one fell swoop. Wenches rejoice and AIBU nod approvingly.

G'wan. Be 'mazin.

(get the Musketeer girls in on a portrayal of women in media platform, they would be fantastic).

Yes!! THAT. ^

Exactly. Thank you mrsb.

Gwan mumsnet. We'll give you a go on the Aramis rota and everything. dont tell Anne ok?

Kate Good point - and the TARDIS is indeed a wench box in that IT contains the only real hottie from Season 1....

Livia I love you to bits - but not helping!!!

MrsB

Yeah, sorry about that - my love for the divine Mr Capaldi overrode my loyalty to my fellow wenches there!

The list is indeed long KateMN, however I feel very strongly that and could be used interchangeably with a little imagination.

And really if you are and then you really only need one.

The Tardis appears to not be on my list.

Please could MNHQ give us an expected date?

The far side of never.

Sooooooo - we've had a bit of think, and our reasoning is that with so many different groups and quiches would love their own emoticon, and if we start saying yes it's hard to know where it will end. Glittery shit and tickers generally seem piss people orf, so the simpler we keep things, the better.

But take heart young Wenches, there are plans afoot to allow new and exciting things to happen with emoticons. We're going to hold off on creating any new ones for now, but we'll keep your suggestion in mind for when the plans come into action.

Thanks Kate, it was worth a try eh? Totally get re the number of groups asking and the new plans sound intriguing and hopeful.

Plus you called us Young Wenches so

Oh and for good measure

It's almost Christmas. Being nice costs nothing eh? Did you need to comment? This wasn't AIBU

Kissed by a wench, well I never.... I should give out bad news more often.

WTF?? Sense of humour failure, clearly.

Maybe take your own advice and also chill out a bit.

Utterly off topic, but.....

it's back on 2nd January? That has been kept quiet!

I realise you are 80,000 posts in, but is it too late to join the sisterhood of appreciation?

Never to late dumble!!

Leftover turkey I am totally confused by your post.

Like Obs said it's never too late! All new recruits to the wench hood are enthusiastically welcomed. We are currently living in Other Topics but plan to go back to TV Addicts once it starts again.

We are a bit sweary and a bit fighty and bit lot perverted. You'll need a sense of humour (see above ) and we'd LOVE to see you. It's one of the loveliest places I've ever been our thread.
