Evan though, I am not a moose, I think that a moose smiley would be a good thing to have.

I can't believe your giving up now, I've just joined hootoo and the first thing I noticed was the total lack of moose smileys. Have you considered the European court of Human Rights? (or is that the human court of european rights) Or what about putting your religion down as Moose Smiley on the next census (no thats no good it's 7 years away yet!!)Pleeeeeeze don't give up yet

WE'RE NOT GIVING UP!!!! NEVER!
it's just called realism. we can campaign 'til we're blue in the face and they are just going to sit there with their fingers in their ears, singing really loud.

I've just had a brilliant 
idea. Fifteen years ago whilst on a skiing trip in the Bavarian Alps I saved the life of a middle aged man, he had gone down the black run when it was obvious he should have stayed on the intermediate. He came down way too fast, hit a jump,lost control and went into a tree at about 20 feet off the ground.The tree bent double and flicked back upright throwing the occupant some 150 feet onto the top of a Bavarian lodge. The poor fellow started to slide down the roof and as he reached the edge of the roof he managed to stand up. It was at this point the hood of his coat was speared by the ski of an American lady who was passing above him on a ski lift. The American lady screamed and started kicking out,the chap skewered onto her ski struggled but it was some 200 yards and 80 feet up before the stitching of the hood began to give way. the man plummeted to the earth, his fall only being broken when he landed head first in a barrel of gluhwien. The barrel, with him inside it fell over and started rolling down the hill. It was at this point I sprung into action 'cause I was never one to see good booze being wasted.I skied down the hillside, overtaking the barrel and managed to put a hay bale between the barrel and the large rock at the bottom of the mountain,thus saving the barrel of gluhwien, oh yes and the bloke inside it.
Anyway to cut a long story short
The chap inside was non other than Greg Dyke, D.G. of the BBC. He thanked me for saving his life and gave me his card and said to e-mail him if I ever wanted anything.
Well give me a couple of days and I will see if he can do anythingto get us our .
Yours Moose

Well I sent Greg an e-mail on saturday,it went as follows:-
To [email protected] -1
From moose somewhereinfreeserveland
Hi Greg your old mate Moose here hows it hanging? I'm writing to ask another favour, me and my mates, Moose(s) are on one of the BBC's websites h2g2, we have been campaigning for some months now for our very own 
. So far the powers that be have ignored our requests so I thought with our history, and the fact that I saved your life in Bavaria you might be able to put a word in for us.
Many thanks aka
P.s Do something to cheer up 'stenders
So that is the e-mail I've sent, just waiting for a reply aka

Here at last is the reply from Greg:-
From gregorygolden etc
To Moose
Eh up Moose me old mate,sorry it's taken a while to get back to you but I've been trying out my new golf course with old Woganchops (bald as a coot you know).
I will have a look at this problem of yours I hope it's not another of your half baked ideas like that "pets win prizes" or "Eldorado" you stuck me with (although your idea to go digital was inspired).
It may take me a couple of weeks to get to the bottom of this business, I've got the dammned Government breathing down my neck at the moment! But I shall remind those geeks at DNA that due to the unique way the BBC is funded, if they don't pull their fingers out funding could be very unique in the future.
Speak to you soon Greg.
Well thats it for now we'll just have to wait and see aka
