I think....

Agreed. I've always wondered why the cup bit was there. You could take the shine bit out of sunshine too and just have sun.

It's so our poor,old arthritic fingers get as much exercise as possible

No, I like the shine in sunshine. Would be too meteorological without it.

I don't even call those things cakes. They are buns.

As in:

The common cormorant (or shag)
Lays eggs inside a paper bag,
You follow the idea, no doubt?
It's to keep the lightning out.

But what these unobservant birds
Have never thought of, is that herds
Of wandering bears might come with buns
And steal the bag to hold the crumbs.

While we are making requests - please may we have a white wine - red gives me a headache!

And a "I give up" emoticon?

Galen

Not to mention...two fingers for a 'wtf'!

I've asked for a devil one. I even sent HQ a picture so they know what I mean. [innocent]

Lona, I think a two fingers emoticon might be interpreted as something other than wtf!

I know, [naughty emoticon], but wtf?!!

Face it. We need a "piss off" one.

Only answer worth giving sometimes.

Or a 'piffle' one?

MN has a biscuit, which more or less means 'oh ffs'. Why haven't we got one too?

Nooooo! (Thank you)

If we could use the ones on our iPhones and iPads.... [hopeful look]

(My previous post was in reply to Kat's)

Yes - the biscuit! They gave us one once by mistake, obviously thought we wouldn't get it and took it away again! Why? We aren't all little old ladies crocheting cornflakes, or whatever...

I want a roll-eyes one!

Can we have a frog instead then?

You're not getting away with a no, you know!
