Caitlin Moran: live webchat, Thursday 13 September, 1-2pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Much excitement at Mumsnet HQ this week as Caitlin Moran is joining us on Thursday lunchtime (1-2pm) for a live webchat and to talk us through her latest book, Moranthology.

How to be a Woman was one of the most talked about books on the boards last year, so we're all delighted to hear Moranthology brings more chat on a brilliant range of topics: Twitter, Obama, binge drinking, Amy Winehouse, 'The Big Society', Party Bags and Boris Johnson - Albino Shag-hound. These are just a few of the subjects touched on and make us think she is our ideal guest.

Post your questions to Caitlin in advance or join her on Thursday at 1pm.

Holy Rabbits!! That Bruce picture

Hi Caitlin,

I don't really have anything useful to say, except I think you're brilliant.
I'm proud to also come from Wolverhampton, I met one of your sisters at
a gig at the Molineux club once.

You rule.

Princess - no, Caitlin says keep it tidy and neat in the book!

can we not have Sarah Milican..i'm sick of her moaning about the size of her tits

That was my question culturemulcher but she is steadfastly not answering for fear we all swoon at her feet and follow her round like lovesick first years with the school prefect.

How about sanitary towels under the pits for the sweating problem?

Actually, no. Stay off of the tv. Often when entertaining people are on the tv they are then on EVERYTHING, and you hear the same stories over and over and they're not funny anymore.

Do you have RSI from tweeting? I imagine it's very hard on the thumbs after a while.

Oh God, not Toksvig.

Hi Caitlin, Love youuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

I would just like to know, do you wish your column was free to everyone?

I'm pro paywall, man. I'm pro the Times having a paywall. I'm pro paying for things. When people starting downloading music for free, the music industry shrank 40% between 1999 and now. The deals aren't around for working class kids to form bands, and tour. Likewise, you put all the newspapers and magazines online for free, and circulations plummeted, and now all these young wannabe journalists are being employed as unpaid interns, if at all.
I like arts and media. They're places working class kids can catch a break. I don't like how we pay for everything else on the internet - Topshop haven't made cardigans free! Halfords will still charge you for that exhaust! - but it was just arts and media that were suddenly free.

Loved your interview of Jennifer Saunders on Radio 4 the other week; just brilliant.

Your husband immacs his bollocks?

This is my first webchat. Is it usually filled with weird sac related information and Bruce penis shots?

When is the next one ?

@princesschick

I have a sly question for you. I consider myself a bit of a feminist but I still go for the old Brazilian once a month... my DH likes it (and thing is... so do I). Is that an automatic red card crime in the real feminists gang? Do you have to have a huge muff piece to be a feminist? I thought it was more about having choices and being equal.

Oh and by the way, my husband immac's his ball bag. So I feel it evens out somewhat in our household...

Oh I'm wholly pro you waxing your moof - and, indeed, your HEAD - if you want to and can be arsed and have the time. I'm all for "freedom of minge." Ladies - your pants, your rules. Go for it! God speed! W00t!
I was just arguing for a bit more VARIETY in the pants. I'd just like to see some lush, bouffy fur escaping from some chick in a bikini on MTV once in a while. I LIKE how it looks. I'm a fan of the aesthetic. I LIKE HAIR.
I also note having a massive bush makes my thighs look thinner by comparison, so OBVIOUSLY that's a bonus too. But you may find things are different for you. It's just a serving suggestion. the contents of the packet may settle, in transit.

No - Mumsnet is re-tweeting some of it but I think she's got her hands full with three billion questions!

Great idea Dilly but not Sarah Milligan please - she's so annoying. But Sue Perkins big yes! And Caitlin of course [arse-lick emoticon]........

It so wasn't you frowns at screen

Claire Balding then Buppers?

and Bjork

I was eating a pork pie when I read the bit about immacing bollocks. I'm not now.

Was she being sick into a pint glass? As a family, one of our great skills was being able to vomit exactly a pint's worth of sick into a pint glass, to save having to go to the toilet. We were very proud of this trick.

Too right re. free content. Wish someone clever could come up with a way of doing it that doesn't involve paywalls - via Google or Amazon or someone paying for content, maybe.

Come on people!
HTBAW was great but what about the "retard" comments?
What about saying porn is "fine"?

If I had bollocks I would Immac them all the livelong day, just because I could.

A big Balding YES!

ooohhhh my sister can do that too! hurl into a pint glass

and so can her DD..despite only being 9mths old at the time, she did it!

I do actually pay good solid money to Murdochs JUST because you write for that bloody rag, Caitlin. I said I wouldn't stalk. I must not stalk. I must not stalk.

Anyhoo, on women's comedy, Millican does talk about her tits the whole time but she's funny because she's utterly fearless. Few other women are in comedy - they kind of hold back. I'm sure I have picked this up from summat you've written actually...

@culturemulcher

Are you and MNer, Caitlin? or has that already been argued over sorted out upthead?

I used to, babe, when I was at home with two kids under four. I caned all these boards. Then Twitter was invented and there were more boys there and I went to flirt with them THERE THAT'S THE TRUTH HAPPY NOW?
