Oh ffs.

"innovative technological platform" - that'll be a website then.

squeaver · 23/02/2010 16:29

And Mumsnet's already global isn't it?

Think you should have words, MNHQ....

DottyDot · 23/02/2010 16:29

Ermm - I thought this was a global Mumsnet..?

YoungMum69 · 23/02/2010 16:30

PMSL - She's onto something there, no one will have done that yet.

CMOTdibbler · 23/02/2010 16:32
Hmm

"''This initiative will launch through an innovative technological platform where mothers around the world will be convened to share, learn, support, and empower each other.''"

And bumsex

AIBU

"Am I Being Unroyal" ?

Valpollicella · 23/02/2010 16:44

dammit didn't preview

I meant to say "and talk about bumsex"

Might have been funny if I hadn't cocked that up

southeastastra · 23/02/2010 16:45

is she going to donate pc's to every mother in the developing world then? that would be impressive.

how is her children's writing career going then?

Libra · 23/02/2010 16:46

Very good Valpollicella - cocked that up - bum sex!

notwavingjustironing · 23/02/2010 16:46

no, all the posters on MN who claim to be abroad are actually typing away from grimy little bedsits in cleethorpes.
Hers will be proper global, see, with actual real global mums from y'know, places far far away sharing their tribal wisdom and that.

The DoY, for example is......

After this kind of clever thinking, MNHQ, we need a lightbulb emoticon for when you have a really clever idea, that simply no-one else in the entire world has ever had before.

Brilliant. She's wasted, she is, doing nothing.

LynetteScavo · 23/02/2010 20:42

Maybe it will be like Mumsnet, but with Bablefish built in.

Or it could turn out to be like Netmums, with Bablefish built in.

mollyroger · 23/02/2010 20:42

I'm guessing she's imaging some kind of mythical girl-power parenting website, where we all learn ancient Amazonian Rainforest remedies for pregnancy piles and share Navahoe wisdom for dealing with colicy-babies.
In reality, we will all learn the Mandarin for ''any1 got a Quinny Zapp in Snot Green with a matching muff thanx hun''

sugartits · 23/02/2010 20:44

box of frogs.

mollyroger · 23/02/2010 20:45

Hey, while she's at it, why doesn't she invent, um, the Internet! That'd be cool!?

cyb · 23/02/2010 20:45

I'm planning on a kind of global computer system if you will, that everyone can access via their home computers

I'm thinking of calling it the INTERWEB

waddya think? I don't think its been done yet

paisleyleaf · 23/02/2010 20:48

" "innovative technological platform" - that'll be a website then".

I bet she woke with a start with that idea.
