I'll throw the old ones back in place later tonight.

They are, and then some! I've added a few that came with the software but weren't used, and a few from <a href="http://www.buis2.net/">BUIS</a>.

(Cheers :pint: to TelegramSam for the BUIS pointer. And no, I'm not adding mook.)

Oh, these new ones are fun! It's good to see the old ones back again, I must say... Hip, hip, hoorah for Rich!! :thumbsup:

And for no reason whatsoever, I really have to use this emoticon because it's too cute! :tomato: Maybe I should just go back to :sleep: as this is way more fun than it should be. ;) Happy morning, all! :)

True. As an Englishman, my upper lip is so stiff you could balance a slug on it. The very idea of a wiggling upper lip makes me mad. :x

Coming from a part of Michigan with a high Dutch Reformed population I think a dissapproving scowl is needed. But it must not have been forordained.
However this one fits me best. :really:

I don't think I liked any emoticon that looked different. At first we had a razz that looked seriously wrong. Now, when I razz someone, I want them to be quite certain that they've been well and truly razzed.

It wasn't the LOL *smilie* that got me though. What really upset me came weeks ago. It was the eventual realisation that LOL meant 'laughing out loud' rather than 'lots of love.' What a bummer!
