He has nowt to do with parenting, but if I've had a bad day a few of his clips from YouTube make me smile again.

Therefore he is providing services to parentohood

ooh how exciting

I have loved Mr Izzard forever

I wish he would do more comedy and less acting though

Sorry I suggested this yesterday - you absolutely cannot steal my thunder or my idea - he is mine you know all mine - I want to sit on his lap and stroke him all over, I want to go running with him and borrow his frocks and actually get him to teach me all the absolutely filthy rudeness that that naughty glint in his eye tells me he knows.

HE IS MINE I TELL YOU!

Oi Yaffle start your own thread for David Mitchell

Yes, yes, yes to David Mitchell! He pushes all my geeky little buttons. Even dh would happily let me shag him (and shake his hand afterwards I suspect)

SaintGeoff · 23/03/2010 15:49

Oh David Mitchell. Nooooooo. You can't invite David on here. I'd get all inappropriate, proposition him, attempt to explain why we're ideally suited and he'd take out an injunction. Save me from myself, don't have Mitchell on here.

I think a webchat with Eddie Izzard is a brilliant idea.

LeSingeEstDansLarbre · 23/03/2010 12:26

and we could get him and david mitchell on su's weight loss thread... they're shrinking.

mistlethrush · 23/03/2010 11:43

I met Dara O'Briain at a wedding last summer and had an interesting, quite child-related conversation with him which makes me think he would also make a good person to have a webchat with....

Hello. Thanks for the excellent suggestion - we'll see what we can do...

GoldenSnitch · 23/03/2010 08:38

Confused my Mum the other day. 13 week old DD was doing that constantly moving arms and legs thing that small babies do when awake and looked for all the world like she was swatting insects. I said "she's covered in Beeeeeees" Much chuckling from me and furrowed brown from my Mum

Regularly empty the dishwasher as Jeff Vader too "This one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet"

Please MNHQ can we have Eddie. Pweeeeeaaaaassse!!

LaPlumeDeMaTante · 23/03/2010 08:15

LeSinge - yes, i remember him doing a lot of le siiiiinge est dans l'aaaaaarrbre, but then he pointed out that this was complete nonsense in terms of how prepositions work in french because the monkey would literally have to be inside the tree. this isn't the bit i remember but it's funny anyway

(would also like to point out that i was only 14 at the time of the 'dress to kill' tour, & as such didn't really get to many any stand up gigs! the vids were the only access i had to the wonderfulness of eddie )

ProfYaffle · 23/03/2010 06:22

Val - we call them Hodder Dodder's too! I even referred to a push along lawnmower as a Hodder Dodder too, causing much confusion.
