    Yes, smileys can be tricky. I think most people use them and read them as I do to mean simply "I'm laughing".

    But some employ them, and others interpret them, to mean "Laugh! This is funny!" or "*Please* laugh. I'm trying *so* hard to be funny", and in that case they can look a bit lame.

    The other stiffs in the cemetery kept on voting her out.

    Can't believe they've only just buried her. She carked it before I went on holiday.

    So, who do you reckon Max Clifford is going to pick for the next series of Celebrity Terminal Illness?

    Was Russel Brand there?

    Via the Oujia board? Otherwise this is quite difficult to do.

    Great post not withstanding.

    Never mind. we've been through this so many times, I don't want to bore every one else with yet another explanation of why giving to a charity like Cancer Research means the Government don't have to pay the equivalent.

    You're such a mug - That's £100 the Government can spend on something else now, such as an hour of some IT consultant's time designing a new intrusive database holding your details (with half of them wrong), or giving it to some overweight chav to sit at home watching TV all day.

    1000% was intended to show determination, not %-tage of money donated - it would have been sizeable however.
