Does server downtime mean that
all the waiters are having coffee
in their secret lair?

If you gave a smiley a sock would they be free? I think the snow has made me go all Harry Potter.

If you gave a smiley a sock, it would
have a black eye...

Even the coffee smilies. They all have their little jobs to do. But there's so many of them that thsey aren't slaves, and they just have fun. But sometimes they get tired.

You don't know the half of it. i wish there was a quick way to access smileys you want to try in the middle of a posting when you are in 'Goo'

You could write a smiley ( any smiley ) and then PREVIEW it and then click on it

I just did that my friend and it came up in the codelike this <smiley type> etc etc.I wish there was a rich text thingy like in hotmail or a drop down tool thing that you can roll up like in Paint shop pro.

That would be hoopy!

I have the Smiley page bookmarked separately, so I just open it up in another window. Still a pain, though, and a drop down menu thing would be brilliant.
Very slow this week. So much for super dooper ADSL broadband with the extra-fast patch...
