Is Speeding a Conviction?

I've got endorsements on my driving licence but I'm not sure if I need to declare them as convictions? I'm 99% sure they're not, but please could someone confirm. I'd be very grateful.

Dropped digital camera.

Am I the only one who is properly "calibrated" in relation to expressions like LOL? When I write lol, it is because I've just laughed out loud. To me, that seems sensible. Others write lol when barely...
