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 have recently felt a pressing need for [wails]

but have mostly managed to get around this by typing [wails]...

I like these ones!

Particularly the banging head against wall one and the vomit one (click "Show all").

Sorry I just realized not everyone can access those, its a rubbish football site DP uses so I wouldn't bother signing up to see it either!

No.

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

Snaf · 12/08/2007 17:29

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

NotADragonOfSoup · 12/08/2007 17:35

[oldfart] works for me.

hunkermunker · 12/08/2007 17:36

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

Beetroot · 12/08/2007 17:44

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

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.

WideWebWitch · 14/08/2007 20:28

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

VeniVidiVickiQV · 14/08/2007 20:29

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.
