Mumsnet Talk

Waheeeeeey!

That's not a question. Is 'why are you so utterly marvellous' a question? <ponders>

NOW your're talking!! Excellent!!

omg! soooooo excited. i heart charlie brooker.

my questions are all too dirty, but my dh wants to ask him what his favourite sound chip is from any computer/console.

Yay!! God I love him. Will have to think of a suitably witty question

bums. I am working

Yayyy, I love Charlie Brooker. Have to think of something to ask him now

Cool - dh, in particular, thinks he's great and will be and when he hears this!

Oooh, almost makes me want to put off labour until then! I'm going to ask him if he'd consider giving my friend a second chance after the silly cow turned him down when he offered to take her away somewhere!

Hi Charlie

Only ever read your column in the Graun...it certainly brightens up my dull Monday mornings - love it!

What's your favourite biscuit

Oh and have you ever been to Japan? You must have, what with all the video games over here....

if/when you come over, give me a bell, yeah?

II HAVE NO IDEA Who you are but I am sure you are very nice dear.

Squee!

RachelMumsnet, if I could snog you through the laptop screen then I would. You STARS.

All I have to do now is think of a question.

I'm weirdly preoccupied by his insomnia. When DH has snored me awake at 3am I comfort myself with the thought that somewhere out there Charlie is also awake. Can someone feed me a question about insomnia? Preferably witty?

Ah yes - also, once upon a time you did a little piece about your favourite ever PC and console games, and you included in your top ten a (megadrive?) game called Road Rash. I bloody loved that game. You had to ride motorbikes along endless roads, mostly in the desert, kicking or punching your co-racers off their bikes.

So my question - which is your favourite PC or console game ever? What would your desert island game be?

Do you regret your tweet saying 'Jan Moir manages to walk the difficult tightrope between being a bitch and a cunt'?

I understood the anger, her article was appalling, but I felt a terrible conflict when I read that about language and its use against women. I was trying to think about the equivalent if a bloke had written the Jan Moir article: tosser, wanker, bastard, maybe cunt, but it's the use of bitch and cunt against a woman that didn't sit well with me.

Otherwise, I like your columns, this week's is good and stays the right side of taking the piss/reacting to stuff without going too far imo: www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/nov/16/charlie-brooker-christmas-television-adverts

Which leads me on to another: the Jimmy Carr rape joke, funny or not? And the resurgence of 'edgy' (ie just totally offensive) comedy, was it time for a resurgence or will it all end in tears? I don't know why I think you'd have an opinion on these things but you probably do so would be interesting to hear it.

Now Charlie Brooker, were you the original Soaphead? I think you were. If so, I once wanted to marry you, due in large part to your analysis of Brookside and to the immortal description of Alex Kingston as 'Dr Moll Flanders', which made me laugh a lot at the time.

If not, my apologies for the above.

Now for my question: do you see yourself as a glass half full person or a glass half empty person? You always seem rather cross, and yet I think I detect something of a soft centre (my observation is drawn mainly from the C4 ident in which you declare that the death of a dog would upset you too much to have a dog in the first place).

Soaphead was Jim Shelley, I think. Defected to the Mirror. Wanker. But a funny wanker.

I read that as defecated, must go and change DS2's nappy.

MNHQ, you are gods! Will have to ensure DS has an early nap on Monday.

He may have defecated as well.

oh gutted i will be at work
