Artist

Forum Code<artist>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="artist"/>
Smileyartist

Everyone's some kind of artist, whether it's in their magical ability to slice through city traffic without killing anyone, or in the way they make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that knock spots off the rest of the planet. Commune with your inner artist with the h2g2 artist smiley - guaranteed to paint a pretty picture.

Biker

Forum Code<biker>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="biker"/>
Smileybiker

The biker rides the road, grabbing life by both hands and heading off to the great wide unknown. Or just making a terrible din revving the engine at two in the morning (and if that's you, can you please stop it, you're scaring our hamster).

Borg (of the Tennis Player Variety)

Forum Code 1:-)==O
Forum Code 2<borg>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="borg"/>
Smileyborg

Nothing to do with assimilation, the h2g2 Borg smiley has attitude, a tennis racket and a sweat band. Couple our tennis player with the tennis rackets and the tennis ball, and you've got your own virtual Wimbledon, without needing to get off the sofa. Just like cable TV, really...

Chef

Forum Code<chef>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="chef"/>
Smileychef

Nowadays every second programme on television is devoted to cookery. But this is not your average celebrity chef. He is equally at home whether throwing tantrums in the kitchens of Michelin starred restaurants or flipping hamburgers in your local greasy spoon.

Clown

Forum Code 1K:o)
Forum Code 2<clown>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="clown"/>
Smileyclown

Having green hair isn't what it used to be. Back in our day it used to mean you thrashed around to the Sex Pistols, wore ripped jeans, sported a safety pin through your nose, and hated the Queen. Poor clowns - they do get a bad press, don't they?

Disco

Forum Code<diva>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="diva"/>
Smileydiva

Models, pop stars and celebrities all have attitude and so does the h2g2 diva! Stylish, elegant and demanding, she struts her stuff on the catwalk and the dancefloor. She truly is a dancing queen!

Doctor

Forum Code 1o:-)
Forum Code 2<doctor>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="doctor"/>
Smileydoctor

If it's an emergency, zip on in as a doctor and help out - you'll be amazed how popular doctors are when all hell is breaking loose. And there's no danger of being sued, as long as you don't abuse your position to pull the nurses. You have been warned.

Elvis

Forum Code<elvis>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="elvis"/>
Smileyelvis

The king of rock 'n' roll was here...but he only posted once! Now he's Left the Building. (And we don't know what Nighthoover looks like).

Geek

Forum Code<geek>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="geek"/>
Smileygeek

Celebrate geek chic! It's way cool to be totally geeky these days, so what better way to cement your utter geekiness than with the h2g2 geek smiley? Please note that this is not the same as a nerd smiley, which we don't have on h2g2. This is strictly a geek-only thing. Thanks for listening.

Jester

Forum Code<jester>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="jester"/>
Smileyjester

He is a cheeky chap, whose sole aim is to bring happiness. With a song, a joke and a magic trick, you cannot be blue when h2g2's jester is around.

Nurse

Forum Code 1+:-)
Forum Code 2<nurse>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="nurse"/>
Smileynurse

If it's an emergency, zip on in as a nurse and help out - you'll be amazed how popular nurses are when all hell is breaking loose. And there's no danger of being sued, as long as you don't abuse your position to pull the doctors. You have been warned.

Pirate

Forum Code<pirate>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="pirate"/>
Smileypirate

Scourge of the high seas, pirates generally hang around in the Philippines these days... and on h2g2, it seems. Granted, they also crop up at fancy dress parties, but they're not real pirates - they're just pretending. Sorry to burst your bubble, but reality is really quite vexing sometimes.

Scientist

Forum Code<scientist>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="scientist"/>
Smileyscientist

New Model Army may have sung 'How can we tell the people in the white coats, enough is enough?', but the h2g2 scientist isn't mad or evil, and doesn't test anything on animals. He invents all those things that change the world, like gizmos, widgets and thingumybobs. His work is truly noble...

Senior

Forum Code<senior>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="senior"/>
Smileysenior

Silver-haired surfers, senior netizens...call 'em what you will, they're a force to be reckoned with on this new-fangled Internet. We salute those older, wiser members of our community, who remember when this was all fields, with this respectful smiley.

Skiier

Forum Code<ski>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="ski"/>
Smileyski

Let it snow...

Surfer

Forum Code<surfer>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="surfer"/>
Smileysurfer

Surfing isn't just a way of life, it's an attitude too. You might be stuck in a stuffy office, but imagine you are riding crystal clear waves in Hawaii and suddenly life doesn't seem to bad, dude!

Thief

Forum Code<thief>
GuideML Tag<SMILEY TYPE="thief"/>
Smileythief

Now we're not condoning illegal behaviour with this one. No way - instead we're celebrating the worst chat-up line of all time. Ready? Here goes: 'Tell me, was your father a thief?' 'No, why?' 'Because he must have stolen the stars out of the sky and put them in your eyes!' Aaarghhh...!
