Oh dear - we'll retire the :chocciebar: smiley if necessary.
Best wishes,

No, please don't do that... it may be the only artifact remaining from a glorious, fattening age.

I don't see how retiring the :chocciebar: can have an impact on the supply of real chocolate to the world.
I mean if the smiley was the equivalent of real life then every time I use :nurse: there ought to be a careful, caring, loving companion a-knocking on my door ...

I'm just saying ...

Chris, when you interact in the lounge, you have to put your 3D goggles on. Did the Admins not supply you with a pair when you joined??? It makes the interaction with loungers more realistic, it makes the use of the smileys come to life (I have had lengthy conversations with Nurse Betty), and that is also why most of us have .GIF avatars to make our presence more dynamic and interactive. You should get your pair else you are really missing out.

Rudi

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Here's a donation to the cause.

It's fresh cacao. I took the picture today.

Apparently, the shortage is contrived. See the penultimate paragraph in this screenshot.

There are three dimensions? All the books I read appear to have two-dimensional pages. If it was gut enough for Goodenburgh, it's good enough for me ...
