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.

It must be Wagon Wheels!

Chocolate hob nob, fo sho.

I asked ages ago what your favourite biscuit was like, like before 1pm. Humph.

Ha ha, like those sticky things you throw at a wall and then watch slowly make their way down.

Oh Christ, not Menswear. :(

Have you ever actually seen any porn like that Caitlin?
I haven't.
And wrt the retard comment I also think its pretty sad that it got thought the whole editorial process without being taken out.
I am sorry if some people think its tiresome or boring to point out disablist words and phrases.
Actually I'm really not! :)

It wasn't Ned's Atomic Dustbin was it?

Digestives with cheddar, good choice.

Did you mean Damien Lewis?

TheBlackShiksa asked the biscuit question ages ago.

We've asked you already, loads. But it was way up there ^^

That's what twitter does to your attention span, see?

Poor TheBlackShiksa asked the biscuit question yesterday!

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

I totally was!!!

Please answer my question
thanks

Calvin Harris?

Digestives with jam and cream cheese. better.

There was a veritable shriek when I realised we had the same wedding venue!

anyway, do you think your daughters will find life as a woman easier?

I think we are the generation who were promised that we could have it all and have ended up just being very tired. I hope that men will up their game as the years go on to make it more culturally acceptable to share parenting (part time working, picking them up when they're ill, school plays etc) and women's careers won't get such a shafting.

But then I look at the princess parties and the porn, and the glittery shoes and silly nails, and just get depressed.

and the fake tans and silly eyebrows - when I spent my early 20s in the pub with a boy's haircut and a stripy t shirt.

I have boys - so I'm doing my best to teach them proper and what not, but I worry.

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?

I genuinely thought I'd be Ben Elton's girlfriend. I thought that quite strongly when I was 13. Then at 15, I was pretty convinced I'd be David Baddiel's girlfriend. I suspect you are starting to note a certain taste in men. I'm still kind of surprised I'm married to neither, really. I mean, I drew pictures of us together and everything. Although they weren't as moving as the picture I drew of me and violinist Nigel Kennedy GETTING MARRIED UNDER A TREE. I posted those pictures recently on Twitter and someone forwarded them to him. THANKS, THE INTENET :-/

It wouldn't be Ned's because Caitlin said "Neds aren't a band who are particularly sensitive or intelligent. They're Jonn and four other ugly whining c*s who wouldn't know a razor, hairbrush or cohesive argument, even if it was wrapped up with string and shoved up their arses"

I am friends with one of the Neds and it still cuts him to this day that she said that.

Caitlin, are there any good stories that you know which involve tomato pips and 50p pieces? I'd sure love to hear one.

Yes it was Damien Lewis.....swoon....

"It wasn't Ned's Atomic Dustbin was it? "

Oooh did you go out with one of them? I know one of them now.

@MinnieBar

Did you mean Damien Lewis?

Shit. yes. I meant Damian Lewis. Who's Damian Green? Is he hot? pervs him anyway

@BobbiFleckman

You are an evil friend in disguise trolling me for my story about having sex with a certain pop star, which I CERTAINLY WILL NOT SHARE HERE UNTIL I'VE HAD A DRINK.

Damian Green used to be my MP. Now an MEP (I think). Absolutely NOT HOT.
