Horse Smilie
 

After due consideration, I've removed the horse-flogging smilie from our board. A very old and respected friend on the Forum had previously contacted me on behalf of himself and others to indicate while they were the farthest thing from 'politically-correct', they felt this particular icon was in bad taste. It hasn't been used much anyway, and graphically, it DID take up too much space, so I elected to follow his request.

Suggestions for substitutes expressing the same emotion are welcome, as are any others you might wish to see to accent expression of ideas, emotions or just plain fun in your posts.

Thank you,

Jif

Geoff,

Are we still allowed to use the well known English expression, "flogging a dead horse", when describing something as being a waste of time and effort? :confused

Of course, I have no objections. That's text, and I'll be damned if I'm going to try to control the way people speak. Hell, I'd have to censor m'self half the time LMAO! Beyond certain words which are auto-censored, we're good-to-go.

Good on you Geoff

:salute: :note:

The Aussies have their jumping rodent.

So I want a set of wooden clogs or a windmill. . .

Oh dear, how rude; Mr Ball (W) you're going to have to do something.

And another thing, I want a TEA smilie, not that coffee stuff please.

Double away and deal with it, there's a good chap.

What do you mean rude-it's just a famous Dutch piece of folklaw :salute: (my mind is pure as the driven sleet :D )

PC terminology
 

Frankly the dead horse smilie was wonderful and not the least bit offensive so please bring it back. This from a Horse Gunner who was raised in a saddle.

Dougie: MY mother taught me to refer to dykes as "women in comfortable shoes"! :teach:

:drunk: Mike

:support :remember

I was going to say I meant the type of dyke that retains water :eek: But I might be misunderstood again :rolleyes

Misunderstood
 

Dougie, my lad, shouldn't "But I might be misunderstood again" read "But I fear I might put my foot in it again"? Hmmm? :D :D :p

Re: Misunderstood
 

Straight in with both feet I'm afraid(up to the knees)

:doh:

Re: Re: Misunderstood
 

'Tis all right, Dougie, not your fault... you've simply fallen into that well-known trap of running into an artilleryman in the wrong place and the wrong time! Ye'll know better next time, laddie... :smoker:
