AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

758 replies

Honestly, this man is obsessed. He has now created a program to scrape and grade Mumsnet threads from this board.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

You just haven’t met the right one

I totally agree, a late harvest Riesling, or maybe a Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, which is incredible value.

Dessert wine is like dissolving a pound of sugar in a teaspoon of water and then drinking it neat, through a straw.

My favourite dessert wine is Moscato d'Asti. It’s sweet, fizzy and fresh. Not at all syrupy.

The mind boggles. Were you perhaps lured to a woodshed by the promise of a fig roll at an impressionable age?

That would be divinely comedic, certainly! 😂

So, that's a "no?" I'm hearing "no."

Show quote history

A stronger NO even than that following recent disturbing revelations from TWETMIRF about dry Weetabix and straight gravy.

(My opinion of her is plummetting to the depths of the raisin-hating Marie - "shrivelled-up grainy little abominations" indeed).

On the plus side... I'm assuming everyone here approves of buttery toasted Mars Bar sandwiches, ideally made in a toasted sandwich maker?

Now I have a craving for dessert wine, which is definitely not ideal at this time of day.

Just call it "overnight oats with vegan milk and chia seeds" and you'll be good 👍

Brilliant idea. Works for so many things.

My favourite dessert is a chocolate covered Belgian sugar waffle, warmed, topped with a couple of scoops of salted caramel ice cream. If I could in any way justify having it for breakfast, I would.

There is something special though about a wine made from semi raisined grapes. Passito / appassimento wines are good.

Nonononononono.

I honestly think I must have had a very bad experience indeed with a fig roll once in the long distant past. The very thought of them - just seeing it typed here - instantly makes me feel queasy.

The strength of this reaction has mystified me for YEARS. I wish I could get over it.

Must be so. My mum used to send me to school with two Weetbix joined with butter to make a sandwich.

Besides all the other issues, it must have been so fecking messy. Whatever you think of weetabix, you have to admit it’s versatile. It can be gruel, porridge, wallpaper paste, glue, cement and apparently biscuits.

I have no fillings, looks like chocolate, gravy and dry weetabix work for teeth Grin

I think you may have exceptional saliva glands, they are apparently very good for teeth.

Where do we stand on fig rolls? I’m a fan, personally. Has anyone ever made them from scratch?

Weetabix are biscuits, it says so on the box

I also eat cream crackers straight out the packet. Occasionally I will put butter on but usually can't be arsed

I do that. If I’m feeling fancy though I’ll sandwich some peanut butter between them.

Bleddy love gravy, so much so that I have been known to make a cup and just drink it Blush

So much for my future as a psych profiler.

Also, re dessicating, try eating a sloe right off the tree.

It absorbs all the moisture in your body instantaneously.

Agree. Very astringent, but excellent in gin.

Maybe someone scraping and ranking could rank it on the Weetabix scale. That'd be good use for an obsessive oddbod's skills.
