SIGH

The following message was nailed to my door this morning - and I reproduce it here without comment.

We, the Forum Garden emoticons hereby express our solidarity with our coconut brothers.

We demand a proper pay structure. You use us, you pay.

We demand to be used only sensitively

We demand ecological sustainability

We demand to be liberated so we can go on strike

We just want to be loved

Gilly - I dare not again be the bearer of BAD NEWS - but I've received yet another demand!! And worse!!!!

Firstly, Smileys apparently reject that "inappropriate nickname" and insist now on being called EMOTICONS .

But it's not that - Apparently they want a conscience vote, so to speak. One or two brothers have been used to support the emotion-packed ramblings of persons of possibly unsound mind. They feel they have been demeaned and even disenfranchised by being USED to support religious and political assertions that they find anathema. Their advisers are in the process, I'm told, of drafting a TOS addendum for Tombstone - giving them the right of refusal where such usage would contravene their own spiritual or civic worldview.

And more.

This is getting out of hand. There is a rumour (rumor) that emoticons have liberated Hoppy's firearm collection. Cows With Guns pales into insignificance beside this latest catastrophic possibility.

I reckon they're just skiving - lazy little buggers. I also reckon they get too much pay, so maybe at this time they should have a pay cut, then if they toe the line, they may get a rise in a couple of months ! smirk, roll eyes !

Stone the crows, Gilly - you crack the whip just like Mrs Thatcher!!! Or do I mean Prince Harry... anyway, someone British.

Did you ever see The Goodies? I recorded a few late night replays recently.

I can see a new episode starring:

Tim Brooke-Taylor as Guitarist Emoticon

Graeme Garden as Thinking Emoticon

Bill Oddie as Big Grin emoticon

Just imagine our own Emoticons dancing the Funky Gibbon

YouTube - The Goodies - Funky Gibbon [totp2]
