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.

Any plans to write another book, a sequel?

MinnieBar · 13/09/2012 13:47

NO he isn't

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 13/09/2012 13:47

Menswe@r Bups. You forgot the '@'

I knew a girl who got off with one of them. He wasn't very nice apparently. I liked the one who looked a bit like Richard Beckinsale. They were dire though.

"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"

grin

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

Oooh I'm wondering which one because I know one of them too, and he is lovely, and v intelligent as a grown up.

Lulabellarama · 13/09/2012 13:47

I thought we started all the ' runs into room ' type stuff back on Popbitch?

Hmm?

lovelychops · 13/09/2012 13:47

This thread has made me smile, Caitlin responded to my non question. Crave a Trio and Gold biscuit. And, wonder about the logistics of men Immac-ing their balls.
I'd call that a productive afternoon. I'm off for a lie down.

TimeForMyOwnDSorDD · 13/09/2012 13:48

I've got another one Caitlin, if no one's asked already - how do you keep your hair looking so fabulous?

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/09/2012 13:48

tomato pips and 50p pieces? The mind boggles. Pour some wine down her throat and make her talk.

The entire introduction to "Moranthology" is a 4000 word apology about that review. Seriously. It changed my life. It made me realise I just want to be nice. PLEASE APOLOGISE TO HIM FOR ME.

OfficialFlyingSquirrel · 13/09/2012 13:48

For the love of god have a drink then please!
or two.

TobyLerone · 13/09/2012 13:48

Shite. Turns out he's still my MP. I really ought to pay attention.

Northumberlandlass · 13/09/2012 13:48

Damian Green is an MP....I've tweeted you a pic of him....and er...no. Not hot. Well, he's young Bruce Springsteen that's for sure !

WhiteHeron · 13/09/2012 13:49

FGS Give her a biscuit and bourbon. I need to know about the tomato pips and 50p.

CaitlinMoran · 13/09/2012 13:50

@TimeForMyOwnDSorDD

I've got another one Caitlin, if no one's asked already - how do you keep your hair looking so fabulous?

SCREAM MY DREAM QUESTION. My treaty luxury is Aveda hair stuff, because it smells of mid-range joss-sticks, and then I SPRAY HALF A CAN OF DRY SHAMPOO INTO IT and back comb it until the cab arrives. Seal the whole thing with a minute-long squirt of Elnett and job's a goodun.

culturemulcher · 13/09/2012 13:50

So we're all invited tonight, then?

I thought it was popbitch that started it too.

SuperB0F · 13/09/2012 13:50

Is Olivia there? She's the one with gin in her desk.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/09/2012 13:50

Will you be doing anymore radio Caitlin?

Northumberlandlass · 13/09/2012 13:50

he's NOT* a young Bruce Springsteen !!!

BupcakesandCunting · 13/09/2012 13:50

Damian Green MP. The first man ever linked to on MN who has not made me go HUBBA HUBBA.

DillyTante, I wonder which one too! The one I know is a great guy!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/09/2012 13:51

Oh, and please answer the question about running, that was a good question.

SuperB0F · 13/09/2012 13:51

Oh radio, yes! I LOVED the teenage diaries programme.

DillyTante · 13/09/2012 13:52

This IS the best webchat ever (well, maybe not as good as Sherererezerearde) not just because of Caitlin, but because it's got ace MNetters and great stories! And only one post on her new book so far even though she is supposed to be publicising it. Refreshing change not to have all the answers start "well, in the book I say..."

CaitlinMoran · 13/09/2012 13:52

Justine has just shown me a picture of Damian Green MP with an evil grin on her face. I can confirm he was NOT the object of my perving, perfectly pleasant though he may be.

ComradeJing · 13/09/2012 13:52

Christ alive Bruce. Shock
