    Super Angry [8o|] The 'Party' smiley must die!

    Anyone else want to see the 'Party' smiley killed off asap? Perhaps it's a Monday morning thing, but it's been doing my bloody head in seeing that irritating animation in the subject line of a couple of messages. Yes, I know I've posted the swearing smiley in the subject line for this post and that might be equally as irksome to others, and yes, I'm sure you would be happy with a new Beovision 9 arriving imminently, but please, please can we exterminate this little bugger?

    Perhaps we could have a poll on this? For those that don't know what the 'Party' smiley looks like, here he is, in all his glory Party!!!

    I feel that only through verse can I express my disdain for this yellow annoyance:

    The Party smiley must die!
    The Party smiley must die!
    For he's a t**t, and so says I
    The Party smiley must die!

    Right, better go back and do some work now that's off my chest.................

    Well. I'm shocked!
    I think that the party smiley is the best one of the lot. Cheerful and happy, raises the spirits.
    It must be a Yorkshire thing.

    Re: The 'Party' smiley must die!

    I think its only annoying when the party smiley is added to the post heading because then you always see it and it does become a tad annoying. To add it into the actual post is fine to me.

    Re: The 'Party' smiley must die!

    It's my favourite smiley too !!

    However, if enough people say "kill the party smiley" i will consider exterminating it...  But, i think j0hnbarker may have a 'one man lynch mob' a-huntin old party-boy...

    I do have some more smileys lined up to annoy you all, and some will go.  Got to keep it interesting! Laughing

    Pudsey is brandishing a Beolink 1000 Lee, but I can assure you it's not in anger (at least as long as the Party smiley isn't around).

    Re: The 'Party' smiley must die!

    All animated smileys annoy me. 

    Having smileys at all is somewhere on the borderline between dignity and triviality, IMHO, but since this is a forum, and we're all communicating via written word, we have neither voice inflection nor body language to help us emphasize our points. The stationary images help fill in the gaps nicely, I think. However, the animations are distracting.  But I have too many other things to think about in my life... I won't let it get to me.  If you want to express yourself that way, more power to you, as long as I can understand what you're saying.

    ...my two cents ~AJ

    Re: The 'Party' smiley must die!

    May be wecan just propose to avoid animated smileys on the subject line, while keeping them free of use on the message text?

    This sounds reasonable to me, and I'd be happy.

    Re: The 'Party' smiley must die!

    You see there is not much to be happy about in West Yorks, so I can understand the negative feelings towards the party smiley. Also it's a Yorkshire thing, to be miserable. Yorkies seem to relish being in a cloud of gloom, a bit like "pig in sh!t" type of thing. Another way to bring gloom is to say it's not manly, not butch. Strangely then as a counterpoint, the gloomy Yorkie has some unusual gentile hobby like a dried flower collection. Beneath the donkey jacket and pit booits (boots) lies a sensitive caring person.

    This is why B&O stuff is so important to us Yorkshire folk, our lives are full of gloom, rain, mud and dirt, we need something glorious to look at. Something worthy, something to justify the effort of breaking off the baked on muck from our eyelids.

    Where there's muck there's brass. Where there's brass there's B&O stuff.

    (BTW: Yorkshire translation, brass = money)

    Crikey Dave! As I sit looking out of my office window as the sun glistens off the office buildings in central Leeds, it's kind of hard to reconcile your earnest assessment of the Yorkshire weather, psyche and downtrodden landscape. Tell me, do you miss the place much? I guess at least it's drier in Gloucestershire........oh, hang on, it's not, is it.

    I think you were a little unfair to suggest that as a person and Yorkshireman I am mired in gloom, resulting in macho slapdowns to other forum members who don't take umbrage with the Party smiley in the same way that I do. I may perhaps have an excess of civic pride that fuels a strange collecting hobby based on bright yellow charity logos, though surely that's preferable to painting other people with such broad, maudlin strokes as you have in your post. Lightning Storm No - thumbs down
