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.

Please will someone pour the lady a drink to go with those nuts you;ve got there?

Flippityjig · 13/09/2012 13:52

there's a new book?

RosemarySalt · 13/09/2012 13:53

Thanks for answering my question (am swooning slightly in a girl-crush kind of way). I know what you mean about realising that you want to be nice. That's age, it comes to us all eventually Grin.

Hi Caitlin.

What do you think about Parent and Child/Toddler parking spaces at supermarkets?

Grin

OMG I need to get my shit together, CM answered me TWICE.

The first answer I've ever had on a MN webchat since I was fairly rude to Nick Clegg on his and he got all arsey with me!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/09/2012 13:53

Teenage Diaries programme?? I missed that, was it it R4?

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 13/09/2012 13:53

Poor TheBlackShiksa also asked about hair :(

TobyLerone · 13/09/2012 13:53

You know we're all going to buy it anyway, Dilly. And so does Caitlin. So she can talk about hair and biscuits and poncy wine while remaining secure in the knowledge that we'll all give her our money regardless.

CatPower · 13/09/2012 13:53

This is the best webchat ever. Mentions of Popbitch, Menswe@r, shagging popstars and Trio biscuits.

And Caitlin Moran, obvs.

Justine was able to get her hands on a picture of Damian Green ever so quickly....

SuperB0F · 13/09/2012 13:54

I agree, Dillytante. But I will always be proud of asking Naomi Wolf of why she didn't analyse her mouth-arse connection instead of the brain-vagina one.

culturemulcher · 13/09/2012 13:54

Anyone else finding that they're looking at the SBruce picture very, very frequently?

CaitlinMoran · 13/09/2012 13:54

SHIT I'm running out of time. Okay - 1) WHAT is the running question? 2) I did NOT have sexual relations with that Menswear. 3) I'm doing a live-streamed Q&A from the Bloomsbury Theatre tonight - details on MY OWN WEBSITE YEAH - www.caitlinmoran.co.uk/ I'm wrestling with the dilemma of coming on stage all sexy in heels in this new amazing tight black dress someone has leant me - or just bopping on in Docs and a flowery dress, but with comfortable feet. WILL I ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE FEMINIST MESSAGE I PREACH? Tune in and find out.

FrankWippery · 13/09/2012 13:55

For the love of everything can Olivia give her some bloody gin please.

Caitlin, I think you're great simply because you have the same name as me.

princesschick · 13/09/2012 13:55

So glad I can be a fuzz-free feminist. Grin Phew!

Sorry to those offended / disturbed / confused by the thought of a hair free teste satchel Grin It's really not as weird as you think Wink

desserttime · 13/09/2012 13:55

Hi Caitlin,

are you watching Lord of the Rings trilogy again this Christmas?! Love this idea, we've started doing this with Star Wars!!

WhiteHeron · 13/09/2012 13:55

The Bruce thing made my year.

northernginge · 13/09/2012 13:55

Isn't snogging brilliant

OfficialFlyingSquirrel · 13/09/2012 13:55

question was whats your ipod playlist when running?

CaitlinMoran · 13/09/2012 13:55

@Pagwatch

Justine was able to get her hands on a picture of Damian Green ever so quickly....

As she did it she went "I totally love him in the sex way" and covered his picture in raw almonds, by way of tribute.

BupcakesandCunting · 13/09/2012 13:55

I lookat it very frequently, culturemulcher. Very frequently. It's my laptop wallpaper. Wink

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 13/09/2012 13:56

I can't find the actual running question now, but it was something like

you hated running, you now like it, what has changed?

PiggeryJokery · 13/09/2012 13:56

Noooo my running question was how did you motivate yourself from being a non-runner to being someone who seems to enjoy running? Pleease!

MrsCampbellBlack · 13/09/2012 13:57

Have netaporter finally agreed to give you stuff for free?
