Is it just me or does anyone else have to hover the cursor over the emoticons to find out what they are sometimes?

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I'll confess that I need to.  Although my pathetic excuse of a mobile phone network replace the caption with some rubbish about pressing Shift+R to improve the image quality (forgetting to tell you that the phone network pixelated it to save money).  The instructions are a complete load of rubbish that don't do anything anyway.
