JosieGransnet. I see there is a Shamrock Emoticon shamrock you've introduced - for just the one day?

I'd like to refer you to your post re. emoticons on Thursday 9th Feb. at 15.51.08 where you mentioned being completely swamped re. doing emoticons,
and there being a 6month wait if the snowflake emoticon was possible. So do I take it that the shamrock is the last one we'll see for quite some while?

At least a snowflake emoticon would last for quite some while, and the sunshine one has been such a success! sunshine
Any chance of 'booking in' a snowflake emoticon for next Christmas??? grin

I'm feeling irritated (moi? - to quote bagitha).

Do you suppose they're all Irish, those GNHQ-ers?

Not sure, but the Oldie connection has Terry Wogan as a regular - are they keeping him sweet?

Surely nothing to do with him, though grin

If they can ship in a shamrock, why can't they ship in other stuff too? hmm

Alas quite true about being swamped. Fortunately we found a spare shamrock at the back of the Mumsnet cupboard so we were able to nick it when they weren't looking borrow it for 24 hours

I won't give up about a snowflake - they are so beautiful.

As a child I lived in fear of my Irish 'stepfather'; every year he would wear the shamrock and celebrate St.Patrick's Day in the traditional manner i.e. getting drunk off his head. For many years I loathed the shamrock and all it stood for in my memory. And then a wonderful thing happened to redeem both the shamrock and the day.
Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter, born 29 years ago today! shamrock

I can't find the thread about the snowflake - what would it signify?
