Hi,

just thought I'd let all you Brits out there know that LOTM is on tonight on Film4 at 9pm

p.s there's a smilie of the stars and stripes

, but where's the Union Jack?

p.p.s could someone please tell me what this '

' means?

"The whole world's on fire, isn't it?"

Lotte,

This icon...

... says "BS" which is a phrase we use here in America whenever we think someone does not know what they are talking about. I'm sure that you have an equivalent phrase in Britain, but I don't know what it is. I can tell you what the letters themselves stand for, but I don't know if the board censor will allow it. So, I'll be a lady (for once!) and skirt around it. The "B" stands for Bull. The "S" stands for.... er... a 4-letter word that represents the material that exudes out from under the bull's tail.

Does that "clear it up any?"

"It is more deeply stirring to my blood than any imaginings could possibly have been."

Well, Lotte, there are other nicer ways to get this message through to someone if you don't believe them.
For example:

Or how about:

Then there's:

poo!

You could even use this icon:

But whatever your choice is it all comes out to the same meaning!

I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here!

Wilderness Woman,

Thanks for the explanation; I know exactly which term you mean.

We use the same phrase over here (across the pond) with the same meaning, it’s just that I have never seen it abbreviated before. I can’t imagine a time in the foreseeable future when I’ll use the icon on the message board, but it’s good to know what it means anyway.
