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.

    • I was amazed to see a young nuthatch crawling headfirst down a the trunk of a tree in my garden to bully the great tits and blue tits off the bird feeders yesterday.  Didn't expect to see one this far from the woods.
    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
