A new game.

Do we have a new game here? In the “speeding” post we found out that the Venerable Brown aka Broon, when prefixed & suffixed by colons turns, as if by magic, into a thumbs up emoji. It transpires that there are a number of names hiding behind our dancing faces, so which enoji hide which sacred name? Who's going to start & as Graham & I witlessly uncovered the thumbs up figure I'd say that we'd had our go.

:broon: if you go to emoticons, then the thumbs up Broon is colon Broon colon in plain text before you post. Erm.... :broon:

The admin team decided on the names of the emojis. Some are obvious and just a description of what the emoji is like my favourite -colon shrug colon. Broon was at one time a mod on here and came with his emoji fully formed from another forum.
We liked it so continued to use his name for it.

We can change the list of emojis if anyone comes up with an interesting and useful alternative to any on the current board. We might even name it after you!

Another favourite of mine is colon welcome2 colon.

:vulture:

This one is my favourite: arrived following requests to respond to posts like "my MG just failed its MoT so I'm breaking for spares"

The vultures would begin circling.......

:hgf: is damn fine too!

... we should add ROFL and X to the list.

:rofl:

Very helpful if one posts a pic of a pink TF...
