Is it me or do none of these Emoticons cover Winking?

Being a cheeky chappie,sometimes I like to wink but seem unable to here.

Can anyone suggest any help in this direction please Guys...

p.s Its just that I feel that a wink on here breaks the ice sometimes as a greeting.

The internet equivalent of a handshake,if you like.

Jah:Nah!

Its just that there are Emoticons for various other types of expression but none for the good old-fashioned and time-honoured Cockney habit of Winking.

Which in a Sarf London based Forum I find rather strange.

Don't get me wrong I'm not one to diss the Proverbs but I have winketh more times than I care to remember and its never caused me any sorrow,I have to say.(Wink)

Isn't the one I used above a wink then?


Admittedly,I'm not from these parts but from where I come from thats not my idea of someone Winking,one feels compelled to say.

Looking content nae pleased I will grant you, but Winking ?

Its hard to tell sometimes but I suggest NOT! Sir!

...though it might be,you can't always tell these days....

No, bring sheep into it, because we know they're going to just be coy references to bestiality.

As opposed to the appalling fuckery of emoticons. We all know they're wrong, let's just stop it now.

And bury them in the same pit as LOL, IMO, IMHO etc.

Let's consider the use of them as a condition, or syndrome if you will and advise anyone using them to seek homeopathic or other voodoo medical help.

Come on, it'll be a start.

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
