I was just copy/pasting one emoticon from Danny's link, I could not stop it. For me it looks more like kermit in love, especially due to the heart shaped eyes. Without parenthesis it looks like Paul (:paul:) the black line being the mustache..

I think I will adopt it as my signature... hehe. Double BO.

P.S. I always wondered why Dubslow's avatar looks like the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Orifice"]BO logo[/URL] too, but didn't dare to ask... :razz:

Why must it be both in or both out? (I thought it was the Feynman diagram for a fecal transplant operation, you know, similar to the way they used to do blood tranfusions, directly from donor to recipient.)

Can't make out from the small image (even after full-screening it) what exactly is happening there.

The stick is pinched behind his face shield.

Neat trick that!

Hmmmm indeed.

While the hotel's policy of fining people for writing bad reviews is draconian, probably illegal, and in my opinion downright unreasonable, I must still confess a little sympathy for the hotel management here. Speaking generally (and this may well be inapplicable to couple in the article angry about their fine), some people seem to think it's normal when staying in a hotel to look around for anything that isn't perfectly to their taste (they'll inevitably find [I]something[/I], however good it all is) and then, instead of either shrugging their shoulders and concentrating on the many good things or otherwise asking the staff for it to be put right then and there, to write negatively about it on a review site. They may do that without a second thought and then quickly forget about it and get on with their own lives, but the review stays there, gets read by thousands of potential hotel customers, and has a severe effect on the hotel's business.

Good News!

[QUOTE]Simon Calder, travel editor at The Independent, told BBC Breakfast the incident was "completely out of order" but added: "I must say, of course, there is an element of you get what you pay for."
The hotel could not be reached for comment. Its website appeared to be down.
[/QUOTE]I am afraid that I cannot sympathize with the hotel, at least on the information I've seen. The idea that it thinks it can charge almost triple the room rate for a negative opinion is repulsive. I [U]would[/U] like to know just what the complaint involved.

[QUOTE] Mr and Mrs Jenkinson, from Whitehaven, Cumbria, had written that the hot tap and kettle in their room did not work, the drawer fronts fell off and there was no phone.


They said they were told by hotel staff that the room was wired incorrectly but the hotel could not afford to put it right.


They added: "The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the carpet was thin, dirty and stained.


"The bed was something else, it must have come out of the ark, the base was all scuffed and dirty and the springs in the mattress attacked you in the night.


"The curtains were tattered and filthy, there were polystyrene tiles on the ceiling which are a fire hazard."


At the end of the review, they advised others to stay away, adding: "This place should be shut down, I don't know if they are ever inspected, but if so, I don't know how this place has passed! "If you are offered this place to stay for a fortnight for 10p, you are being robbed!!"


[B]The Wilkinsons were not the only ones to find the Broadway Hotel falling well short of par, with it being rated 858 out of 894 hotels in Blackpool on TripAdvisor, and more than half of reviews rating it as "terrible".[/B]


One review, posted by Jeanette M in November, said staff were "drinking cans of strongbow while serving breakfast", while Jessica of Sheffield described mouse dropping-stained carpet and a net curtain "brown in muck" and concluded that "prison would be better".


When Sky News contacted the hotel, [B]nobody was answering phone calls.[/B]
