Crescent moon for the quiet corner

It has been suggested that I lob in a request for a crescent moon emoticon to assist in our goodnight messages. Consider it lobbed.

Now to get on with setting up the lobby group so that in due course the request can be lobbed again (and again, and again) by a whole bunch of lobbyists.

Or should that be lobbists?

hmm

nag, yes. To wander about listlessly.... with connotations of waiting and hoping in this case.

Is there another sense then, Bags? confused

Bags Sat 19-May-12 19:59:13

I wasn't using the word in its slang sense, ladies! As if! shock

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 19:43:44

I should think not!
Moaning seems to be OK though! grin

Bags, no mooning on this forum please!

Bags Sat 19-May-12 19:20:01

HQ, we're mooning for a moon.

MOON please...

Moons are great,
Always change shape
From full to a slice
Yet not in a trice.

Sometimes clouded,
Often bright
Always there to rouse
Our life!

Golden balloons,
Shadowed white orbs
Night are long when
Thoughts go wild.

Yet through it all
The moon belongs
Always there
Calm and content.

Yes I love you all!wine

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:32:03

Talking of lunatics...isn't the moon responsible in some way or other? This is where I draw a virtual crescent moon and sneek away to make myself look pretty-ish, so that I may reward myself with a double G&T, thanks to the generosity of those nice lasses who rule run Gransnet. Slainte! Be back in the morrow. grin

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:26:37

jeni you know that you like us! wink

glammanana Sat 19-May-12 17:23:54
