MNHQ (and four bottles of Baileys) HERE: If you could ask anyone anything - who and what would you ask, we ask?

Hello folks,

We're thinking about arranging some official AMA (Ask Me Anything) threads and we'd love to know who your dream AMA guest is.

Ever wondered what Tom Hardy dips into his tea? Lost sleep whilst thinking about how Claudia gets her hair so glossy? Curious as to whether her Maj ever settles down with Phil and a tray of snacks to binge-watch The Crown?

Or maybe you’ve wondered what working life is like for a paramedic; how successful entrepreneurs made their fortune; or what school receptionists find most annoying about their job?

Anything goes - so let your imagination run free and tell us who you’d like to see do an AMA by the 20th March to be in with a chance to win a limited edition bottle of Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys. We'll be picking four random winners from this thread.

In the meantime, you can check out some past AMAs here to get some ideas.

P.S If you want to ogle at Baileys collection of flavours, click this creamy link (but you'll need to confirm your age, first).

If I could I would ask my Dad (who died 2 years ago) if he ever loved me, and if so, what did that mean to him? Though even when he was alive I couldn’t be so vulnerable with him. But in another world...

WhiteKnuckleRide · 04/03/2020 20:56

I’d like to ask teachers if they have favourites. I think they do. Smile

StarburstSurprise · 04/03/2020 20:52

fuck it, 'is as', even.

StarburstSurprise · 04/03/2020 20:51

I would like to ask Liz Hurley whether living a wonderful life as a confident, beautiful being is is easy as it looks or whether behind-the-scenes she feels as imperfect/gross/lumpy/frumpy as we all do sometimes?

IndigoHexagon · 04/03/2020 20:43

You know that scene at the end of ‘The Sixth Sense’ when the boy proves to his mum that he can communicate with his mum - and he answers a question that she’d asked at her mothers graveside? ‘Did I make you proud?’
I’d ask my mum the exact same question. Xx

Cismyfatarse1 · 04/03/2020 20:35

I would like to ask M&S

Why!

Just why?

Lightofthephoenix · 04/03/2020 20:25

I’d like to ask a bunch of teenagers what they think would make their lives better. Whether they’ve actually gone to sleep when we think they’ve gone to sleep. What they lie to their parents about and what they will do differently when they’re parents

I just asked mine for you.

Later school start

No

Smoking cigarettes, weed and drinking alcohol - didn't like smoking either made them feel ill but pink gin is lush.

Not having children

I’d like to ask a billionaire why they’ve bothered becoming a billionaire when they could just stop at being a lots-of-millions-aire.

I’d like to ask David Cameron what he’d do differently.

I’d like to ask my mum whether she dicked about wasting time when I was little, like I do on MN when I should be clearing up the breakfast things or whatever.

I’d like to ask Owen Jones whether he really sees no conflict, not even any potential conflict, between trans rights and women’s rights.

I’d like to ask people who get shit done how they manage that.

I'd love to take JR Tolkien to the cinema and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy with him and then ask him if this was the world he imagined. Of course we'd need to take regular breaks for first and second breakfast then 11sies and so on. Plus some of that green stuff that Gandalf smokes. Can you imagine how awesome it would be????

Mamalicious16 · 04/03/2020 19:39

I want to know why all the millions have / are being wasted on the national identity cards which were then scrapped and why do we need all those billions on HS2 when it's likely it won't get anywhere near us ( Yorkshire) and why can't it be spent on the NHS and schools instead.
Also why are people allowed to be paid to take over failing schools -get paid £££££s, squander the money whilst the schools actual bills are not paid then f off?
Also what ACTUALLY happened to Madeline McCann and Princess Diana AND Stuart Lubbock.
Also why private companies like G4S are running our prisons ( and not doing v well at it)
Also why are councils allowed to pay councillors £££££ whilst closing libraries etc

I could go on but as MN towers are probably ruining out of / getting low on the Bailey's ill leave it there for now

Ginpalacequeen · 04/03/2020 18:52

I’d ask an astronaut “does space really feel as never ending as it looks” and “what is the weirdest thing they’ve seen”

silencebeforethebleeps · 04/03/2020 18:12

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, I want to ask them so many questions about their dark storylines.

RepulsiveCilla · 04/03/2020 18:04

Agree that red velvet cupcake flavour baileys sounds vile.

RepulsiveCilla · 04/03/2020 18:03

*TheQueef what know you of HelenaDove? Is she back on MN?

TheQueef · 04/03/2020 17:29

Has anyone said Anne Diamond yet?
I want to ask her if she knows how big an impact she had with SIDS and if she would accept a gong.

Send my booze to HelenaDove she needs it more.

Oh and Alex from the Arctic Monkeys I want to ask him if he'll be my boyfriend yet. Probs don't need an AMA for that though just pass me his number.
Ta.

Inextremis · 04/03/2020 17:27

I'd like to ask the Mumsnet team if they could perhaps reply to my question in Site Stuff about displaying more than 100 messages on one page? Pretty please?

QueenOfOversharing · 04/03/2020 17:22

@HerRoyalCarbyLess me too!! 1) I am soooooooo nosey; 2) I'm a perfectionist with work; 3) sooooooo nosey; 4) I find it fascinating; 5) did I mention nosey???

Deckthehallswithlotsofcake · 04/03/2020 16:33

I'd like to ask Jennifer Saunders if she and Adrian Edmondson have ever considered making a music video together. She could sing and he could dance the ballet Grin

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 04/03/2020 16:21

@QueenOfOversharing oooh I'd love that job!

wink1970 · 04/03/2020 16:16

I'd like to ask Prince Harry to blink once if he needs rescuing.....
