The only one I really hate is the frown one. Partly irrational and partly because usually, when it is used, it follows a rambling of self-righteous indignation ...

I hate the dozy-looking :(

It looks kind of bewildered, rather than sad. I can relate to that a lot of the time ...

Did you know, there's a very good 1930s novel about Bognor Regis. Probably my favourite book read in 2013.

Persephone Books is a lovely shop. I've been there a couple of times on my visits back to London. When you buy a book from them you get one of those nice bookmarks thrown in, like the blue/yellow pattern across the top of the webpage, for example, and they clean up in the shop with feather dusters. I recommend a visit.
