I find that i simply cannot express myself as much as i'd like to without the appropriate smiley! I would particularly like a "cool" emoticon, i.e. one that wears shades, to emphasise how cool something is and any other fabbie ones you guys can think up.

I thank you.

I like the fact people make up their own, in the manner of [wails] and [oldfart]. Works for me!

Tigana · 15/08/2007 11:41

[fingers crossed] seems to be a useful one at the moment.
but also

RGPargy · 15/08/2007 11:40

"language" ??? Hmmm.... (or should that be )

I can see your point. Maybe i've just been too spoilt for choice on other forums where language is a gift lol. Y'know, 1 were day all talk lyk dat all ov da tym. Bloody text speakers

Can we have a theme for divali, and also for november 5th?

Maybe we could have avatars, and oh no, wait! WHAT ABOUT TICKERS?????

Really?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I agree, I like the way folk use language to express themselves, not pictures.

WideWebWitch · 14/08/2007 20:28

No no no no. Hey, I've got an idea: why don't we use language instead?

bran · 14/08/2007 20:26

I'd quite like a [yeuch] emoticon or possibly a [TMI] emoticon. There are so many threads where it would be appropriate.

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 14/08/2007 20:24

Themed for Christmas, Halloween or maybe even Easter but that is it...IMO

beansprout · 13/08/2007 17:10

Oh Lordy, this is the slippery slope to tickers you know [wise, knowing emoticon]

Peachy · 12/08/2007 17:47

Beetroot · 12/08/2007 17:44

hunkermunker · 12/08/2007 17:36

I would like one with steam coming out of its ears [frustrated]

Oh god, please not a 'cool' one. This is not Bebo.

NotADragonOfSoup · 12/08/2007 17:27

No.

Personally I think that [boredom] conveys so much more.
