A summary would be good and I might do one later but Aston, data scraping, astonishing lack of contrition…

Thanks, that's good to hear. Appreciate all the work that's gone into it.

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 29/01/2025 15:39

Thank you for all your hard work and for the update.

EggcornAcorn · 29/01/2025 15:33

Thank you Justine.

And you did it so beautifully Arabella. I should take a leaf out of your book.

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2024 20:43

I was being on best behaviour Aston. 😁

AstonToTheNaughtyStep · 28/08/2024 20:32

Sorry, I only just noticed your question but see Arabella answered much more politely than I might have.

We have a lot of similar words. Bampot, eejit, dafty, but my own personal favourite is gowk.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/08/2024 19:41

Ah, thank you. I had no idea.

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2024 19:39

Rocket means ... an unserious person, in Glasgow.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/08/2024 19:38

Ooh, what does 'rocket' mean & where's 'up here'?

It was the rocket that made me 😶

Show quote history

Me too. Up here being called a rocket is not a compliment.

Isn't language and how it's used fascinating.

ArabellaScott · 28/08/2024 16:42

La la la la la
The lawyers are waiting

I remember him boasting about how unregulated this forensic linguistics was compared to forensic speech analysis in the webinar.

'My sandbox brings all the ICOs to the yard'

@ArabellaScott Those emojis. Yet further proof that the grownups are still not entirely in charge.

I say this as someone whose job includes running the social media for a third sector organisation. No handclap emojis for thanks on my watch, we respond like the professionals we are... [yes, hill I will die on, yes I am middle aged]

I guess Prof Tim saw which way the wind was blowing and escaped while he could, or it's another coinkydink.

AstonUniversityScrapedMyCorpus · 28/08/2024 15:23

Well, at least there is no protective shield over the two staff members most closely associated with this shitshow now!

When the legal shit hits the fan Prof Tim will be Long gone (pun intended).

Talulahalula · 28/08/2024 14:11

Correct. Kredens is the person who bounced around gleefully presenting about the sandbox in the presentation which got laughs out of women talking about infertility.

TheAutopsyOfMNCorpus · 28/08/2024 12:39

Thanks for the clarification, so the MN 'sandbox' creator is now in charge and the person who oversaw the MN research project that was so woeful and unethical is now deputy?

I'm not sure why, but I don't feel reassured.
