My childhood in a nutshell, well it all started in Northampton in the 80s.

I didn't even know I was in the closet but I did find George Mikel in there.

My dad was the manager of the local football club,

but the only thing I was tackling was a good act of a Christie.

I don't know why I'm telling you about it.

They've only gone and turned it into a serious,

so do yourself a favour and watch my awkward years in glorious technicolor,

changing in strain-free on ITVX. Comedy is back in the building.

Face high to school friends, community listeners, what is your favourite emoji?

Do you use a emoji when you text? Do you use it all the time? Do you never use it?

I think my favourite is the I'm thinking face, or maybe the cat with a smirk face.

Of course the croissant also comes in handy, the airplane taking off, the airplane landing.

And I realise when talking about emojis, that not everyone is a fan.

Some people hate emojis.

But here's the thing, today's story, I think it's a pretty great story whether you love

or hate emojis. It's basically two success stories in one.

It's about a guy in California who takes one idea and turns it into a successful app on the

app store. Actually, debut is at number one and ends up making a lot of money,

but then he reinvents the whole thing and goes to a convenience store convention,

which by the way, those exist, a convenience store convention in search of licensing his

intellectual property on items made for sale at gas stations.

This effort is also successful, although in a very different way.
