Our Smilies Need Updating!!

Seriously. Our yahoo smilies are mostly the same, generally unrecognizable, and more than a little bland. I've seen other forums that really have a great selection of crazy emoticons...one for just about every emotion!

If you pick another smilie, which would you add?

The art of emoticons lies in inventive use of the keyboard.

If you want smilies then create or copy and paste - they don't need to be put on a plate by the site. There have been some great one's used in the Garden already that don't come off the clickpad.

there should be a poll option for "sufficient" That's my vote.

Ban the lot of them, that's what I say. Write bloody English like as if you were brought up proper.

Oh don't be such a stuffed shirt, spot, some of those smilies can be quite good fun, or isn't 'fun' a word in your personal vocabulary?

I don't do fun, Gill. I do thinking.

But spot, you can't stagger through life just 'thinking', there has to be just a couple of minutes of 'fun' once in a while ! What a boring 'old fart' a person would become if there was no 'fun' ! Tell me, spot, why has the human being the capability of 'smiling' or even 'laughing' ? and don't tell me it is caused by wind, either ! :wah:

Hmm. How about "I claim to think"? That, presumably, is irrefutable.
