The smileys are on a work to rule. One out All Out! :laugh:

Ah they appear to be working for me perhaps you didn’t ask nicely enough 😛

[Pam]

Okay, here goes, try again (pretty please……………)

nope, it seems. So what am I doing wrong then? (and what are you doing up at 3 o’clock in the morning??? or shouldn’t I ask….)

Is it because it says "HTML is disabled" just below the smileys? And if so, how do I re-enable them, or will they be entitled to free parking forever?

B) 😉 🙂 :laugh: :ohmy: 😡 😡 :blink: 😛 🙁 :unsure: :rolleyes: :y32b4: 😆 :dry: :huh:

No idea what you’re doing wrong, Pam. The disabled HTML is not relevant. Are you perchance using a Mac? Mine used to refuse to insert an emoticon in already typed text, but was OK inserting them in situ while I was typing.

I am up at 3am because the Great British motoring public have a habit of breaking down at all sorts of ungodly hours.

So whilst most normal people are tucked up in bed I am driving around and picking up the pieces.

Who but Jake could use the words "Cankerous rancour"in a lyric….. (Widow Of Brid)

[thelovelyfiona]

I love so many Jake lines but my favourite at the mo is:

She thundered off to cause a stir in poor old bloody Scarborough, she did, she did, she did, forget the spit and the window pane, bugger Brid! I’m still the same.

You’ve got to love it!

😆

[Pam]

…………. but you’re biased, lovely Fiona!!!

[GillMc]

🙂 No, they don’t come much better than that! Gill

[thelovelyfiona]

[Alistair]

While I was looking at my budgerigar, he had my parrot from behind . . . she was sitting on me shoulder at the time!

[mcdonaldneal]

Could that be an example of going through life thinking the words of a song are one thing, when they’re different?? While I was locking up….
Welcome Alistair, thought I’d get you used to the idea that we’re incurable pedants from the word ‘go’.
Phil Neal

[mschesworth]

So glad someone else put him right – thankyou

[KeithD]

Not to mention "jumped" (oh sorry, I did). :laugh:

Good sentence, though, no doubt about that. Got a laugh at Torrington, too.

Please take this as another big welcome from an incurable pedant, Alistair.
