Clare Byam-Cook. She's all over the place being a big 'breastfeeding expert' yet she disagrees that formula companies undermine feeding, and was really rubbish on This morning when she was talking about cross-feeding. For an 'expert' she seemed almost anti-BFing.
charlotte church She must be here somewhere So we can say thanks for looking normally pregnant and post natal, for trying to promote breastfeeding and for liking rugby... My kinda girl
Janey Lee Grace - I'm not a proper green fraek myself but she seems lovely and I want to buy her book "Imperfectly Natural" Franny would love her as she promotes the mooncup.
Oooh, thanks teafortwo. I'm glad she's still alive, I couldn't listen to that unfortunately as my computer won't let me play realplayer for some reason.
- Lessings is alive, completely human, interesting, witty, complex, insiteful, contradictory, learned and has interesting and unusual ideas on motherhood...she is probably an mner anyway so why not invite her in formally???!!!???
Pointydog... urm... sorry...what sort of show did Jamie Olver have last Christmas eve???
He had a cokkery show on last Chrsitmas Eve and he just started decking himself - for no obvious reason, it must be said - when his old Italian guest ate a mince pie. And I thought, I'd like to crease myself laughing with cuddly, straightforward, simple Jamie.
Teafortwo, is Doris Lessing still alive? I think she was a bit to scarily intelligent for me. I was a bit wary of asking ToPa questions in case he sneered at their inanity, I'd be much too inhibited to ask Doris Lessing anything. Even if I did pluck up the courage to ask something I'm not sure I'd understand the answer.

... or ask Dawn French she has a book out she wants to plug and everyone really likes her! Infact I suspect... do you think... yes... I bet she is a Mumsnetter anyway- don't you?
it was a business after-dinner speech and it was a bit 'blah blah blah it's wonderful to be here in <lowers eyes to check where he is> <insert location name here> type speech'
He reeled out a load of cliches about the city we live in (full monty/steel industry/ee bye gum) etc and didn't really say anything of interest or have any original thoughts/opinions. Very dissapointing.
If I had to choose between an evening with Portillo or an evening with Jamie Oliver it would be Portillo. Actually it would be anyone -even Tony Bliar over Jamie Oliver.
i actually have quite wamred to micheal portilo didnt he do that capital punishment docu aswell? I know he did the single mother one and came accross as a nice guy
i think loose women is awful dont have any of them on i watched it once and it was like a parody of an advert for some kind of digestive thing that nobody unmderstands what its actually curing
no not jamie oliver pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease or janet street porter. She lives in the next town to me and she wrote a newspaper article on what a complete dive my town is and how we are all scum and tbh if I ever see her swanning about I will have to try very hard not to spit on her (not that I have ever spat on anyone)
but when you have a book out you have a print run you want quick sales to get it on a list like a top ten to get more exposure to get a bigger print run out
Just coming on here gives them promotion. They don't need to have a book out, etc, as people will chat with them and then google for more info and if they like them, will buy their books, DVDs, etc anyway.
I don't want anyone on with something to promote unless they are going to pay in shed loads of money to a mumsnet fund for when a mumsnetter really needs our help.

JK Rowling - I did email MNHQ twice about ahving her on, but they never replied<sob> Stephen Fry - although I think he would be better in a RL chat! Dawn French Victoria Wood Julie Walters Philip Glenister David Tennat - with a webacm of course and a competition open to everyone with the prize being teh chance to sit next to him while he types (in case he gets scared)
Also MN I'd like it noted that I was good. I didn't go and call your guest names. Even though he thoroughly deserved them. I'll make sure I'm filing my nails when Mrs. Ramsey is on too.
Charlee i have to dis agree with you , anyway the dc would be mke me ask West Ham related questions if he was on, as like him they are hammers for life.
Oh yes Mary Portas Also: Marian Keyes - she is wonderful and would be on here all the time if she had kids, I'm sure.
Julia Donaldson/Michael Rosen - yes yes
I'll tell you who else is wonderful - Sue Townsend. Every time's she interviewed she's funny and inspiring
Those of us on the S&B threads would love Alexandra Shulman I'm sure. Or maybe someone from Grazia. Lisa Armstrong from The Times is a brill fashion writer - high street and labels. Maybe Caitlin Moran could put in a word?
Disappointed to hear about the Camilla Kidscape woman. She would be brilliant.
