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 😅

My mum placated me by saying that they had sold out in my size and I BELIEVED HER LIES for years.

Like 'the ice cream van only plays the music when they have run out'

I nearly (don't read any further Boiled) got a pair of beetle crushers, but they didn't have them in my size.

I can see why you'd covet a pair of those!

They weren't as cool as those, basically bog standard black school shoes with those soles. They were fashionable for about five minutes when I was a sprog.

Clark's closed-toe crepe-soled sandals for summer, which were the perfect footwear for an adventurous tomboy

this probably sounds a bit 4 Yorkshiremen, but I had those too, only I outgrew them without wearing them out due to a growth spurt and my parents couldn’t afford another pair so dad cut the shoe leather to make them open toed so I could wear them without squashing my feet too badly.

I didn’t half get the piss taken out of me for being a “pov” (not helped by my “party dress” actually being a pretty nightie). But a mixture of pride and bloody mindedness even at a young age meant I never showed my upset to either school or my parents.

'How the reality spreads' dude. How the reality spreads.

I always wanted pair of silver platform boots with a white lightning bolt on the side. Glam rock was not still a thing at this time. I still want these boots even though I'd probably break my neck just trying to stand in them, let alone walking.

I once had a pair of black and silver spiky platform boots, like Gene Simmonds. After wearing them out one saturday night, all my work colleagues and I came back to mine, I had one colleague lodging with me at the time, and I was so drunk I decided to go to bed early, and by early I mean hours before he did and the front room was still buzzing. Around 1am or something.

I went to sleep and woke up the next morning and couldnt move. I tried turning right, then left, and then came to and tried to work out what was wrong. I'd gone straight to bed without removing the boots so the sheet was so wrapped around them it had cocooned me up like a huge stinking mess of a caterpillar, all the way up the bed.

I've never owned silver strappy things. Or strappy things in general. I'd break them in 5 seconds.
