Scratches head and thinks back to "O"-Level days of studying Shakespeare..... Romeo and Juliet...... I remember the line "Do you bite your thumb at me sir?" Apparently biting your thumb at someone was considered to be a serious insult. Wind forward to today........ "Do you poke your tongue out at me, sir?" I mean, it seems an odd "smiley" to be using at the end of that sentence as an opening gambit on the forum...... or have I misread your intentions? I thought

(tongue) was poking tongue out...... but I've long thought that little red bit looks kind of heart shaped.... and I've wondered if some folk are therefore reading it as a friendly kiss blowing kind of gesture?
