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.

What was that noise? Oh, it was Buppers gaysploding because Caitlin spoke to her...

culturemulcher · 13/09/2012 13:39

Can we come?

BupcakesandCunting · 13/09/2012 13:39

Retard was widely used in the 80s. It was. We know better now.

culturemulcher · 13/09/2012 13:40

We'll be good. We'll stand at the back and laugh in all the right places.

IS NO-ONE GOING TO ASK ME WHAT MY FAVOURITE BISCUIT IS? I'VE PREPARED THIS ONE.

BupcakesandCunting · 13/09/2012 13:40

Shut your blowhole Tobes, before I shut it for you.

culturemulcher · 13/09/2012 13:40

Someone indulge her, please.

RosemarySalt · 13/09/2012 13:40

Hi Caitlin, am a big fan and loved HTBAW. Also envied you so horribly during my teenage years for having been the child prodigy novelist I wanted to be that I had to avoid everything you wrote for fear I'd explode with jealousy. Sorry!

Anyway I've now got over my need to be a novelist (by tring to write 3 books and not being able to finish one) and am embracing other talents and interests. Have you had any dreams that you had to let go of,or big disappointments about who you are vs who you wanted to be?

@OfficialFlyingSquirrel

hey catlin. what band was that arsehole boyfriend in when you stoke the maracas???

A band of losers, dude. Like Band of Brothers, but with losers instead of Damian Green looking HAWT in a cap.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE BISCUIT?

snigger · 13/09/2012 13:41

Has anyone else begun to spontaneously hum "It was acceptable in the '80's" ?

WhiteHeron · 13/09/2012 13:41

I'm betting on an Orange Club.

BettyButterknife · 13/09/2012 13:41

Hey Caitlin, do you fancy coming to talk to Malago WI? We'd love to have you and would make your very favourite cake in honour of the occasion, and the fact you're our dream speaker

RosemarySalt · 13/09/2012 13:41

PS go on then, what's your favourite biscuit?

Northumberlandlass · 13/09/2012 13:42

Tell me Caitlin...what is your favourite biscuit ? Biscuit

OfficialFlyingSquirrel · 13/09/2012 13:42

Flippityjig · 13/09/2012 13:42

TimeForMyOwnDSorDD · 13/09/2012 13:42

Hi Caitlin, I'm a big fan of "How to be a Woman" and passed it round all my friends. Since I don't have a witty/intelligent question, I'll be the one to ask about your biscuit..

snigger · 13/09/2012 13:42

My pound's on Gold bar

TimeForMyOwnDSorDD · 13/09/2012 13:42

Major cross post there - so yes do tell!

THANK YOU THANK GOD I COULDN'T KEEP IT IN ANY MORE. I like the new 30 calorie digestive biscuits from Waitrose my husband has discovered - he's in charge of all the shopping in our house - eaten with a HUGE SLICE of Cheddar. I sure you can see what a sensible and well-thought-out meal this is.

WhiteHeron · 13/09/2012 13:42

Oreos

Would you ever consider becoming an MP? Aside from merely voting (and adopting a more tolerant and less judgy attitude towards hairy minges and porn and other stuff) what do you think us feminists should be doing to change the status quo?
