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.

    • We are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest.
    • Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
    • Sorry, not having a dig at Southwark for that.   I'm just shocked that next door they've chosen to abandon such an institutional community / family event so they can keep pumping out commercial stuff instead.   I suppose the same could happen here next although we don't really have any longstanding family events like that one.
    • No doubt the schools in Harrogate are being discussed on the East Harrogate Forum or whatever. Dulwich College is being discussed because it's local. Saying "ooh, there were loads of schools mentioned" is a bit dismissive. It was Dulwich College that referred sex abuse allegations about pupils to the police and Dulwich College that used the spectre of the police to suppress dissent. 🤔
