AidaP is scraping Mumsnet threads, and grading them

[BambooLampshade]

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 😅

Yep. As part of the innovation team at Cadbury when I worked in a marketing consultancy.

A gazillion years ago.

(See also Time Out and Strollers - both also discontinued!)

So you’re the one responsible for my slightly chubby childhood then!

Soz.

She doesn't know...

...is what I'd imagine might possibly be the case in the situation of these people I don't know.

Oh dear. You seem to be the kiss of death to chocolate formats!

Noooooo! Really?! Wow - and thank you for your service! What were they thinking getting rid?!

(Excuse the ?! marks. Genuine excitement and even slightly starstruck. 😅)

Strollers were great too. Timeout, a bit Meh for me - but friends loved it.

Time Out is the one I think was the most shameful - it took a long time of product development work to create the original product. And now it's just been reduced to a chocolate and wafer bar. Its first iteration had a layer of Flake chocolate sandwiched between wafer, and it was much tastier and richer than it is now. Unfortunately they created something that competed too closely with their other brand, Twirl, so had to make TO more different.

This person is MY friend. You lot bugger off and find your own 😠

I've long since moved on @BiologicalRobot and am (happily) retired now

Oooh a transwoman AND a woman
How does that work then?
Are you two people? A double identity?

Me, I'm just a woman. So dull.

But, then again, if a transwoman IS a woman then how can you be both at the same time? Or is it like a timeshare situation? Split personality?

BUT if (as I and many others believe know for a fact) a transwoman is a MAN then does that make you a man AND a woman? A non binary in fact.

Oh dear I'm getting myself all confuddled now. I think I need to go and lie down.

Yeah @ElenOfTheWays - he has all the chromosomes.

Forgive me.

I too liked the coffee ones.

The orange were beyond disgusting.

They were delicious.

My taste buds thank you.

Don't look at me, I'm still mourning the demise of Caramac.

All is forgiven.

I could forgive someone who designed the Iron Throne lazyboy more or less anything.

I want to see this more I can possibly express. Does he have a website? The cat obviously not your old man. 😂
My fella would love to see it too. He's a cat fanatic.

The Cadbury version is not too bad as a substitute but nothing can compare to the original Caramac.

I've just googled the cat.
So cute.

Found him 😁https://londonist.com/london/pubs/seven-stars-holborn
I'm so happy it's ridiculous.

Here

Do we think the cat is quite so happy to be wearing a ruffled collar, as we are to see the cat wearing a ruffled collar?
Is that dignity I see or disdain?

Dignified disdain.
