Piers Morgan online now

Hello all,
Piers Morgan, former Editor of the Daily Mirror and News of the World, and now Executive Editor of First News, a weekly newspaper aimed at 9-12 year olds, is coming to Mumsnet for an online chat on Tuesday 10th October at 12.30pm. So make sure you make a note in your diary to log on and post a question. If you can't make the actual event do post your question in advance here. Whilst he can't promise to answer every one he'll do what he can (and we reckon he should be able to type quite fast being a journo and all that).
Best,
MNHQ

MellowMonsta · 10/10/2006 13:28

OH I dont fancy him, at all, oh no. I just wondered btw.

Although I would like some of his money please

slug · 10/10/2006 13:28

Too feminist?

What's that then Piers? Women who talk about menstruation in front of you?

Overrun · 10/10/2006 13:28

JessaJackOLantern - having read piers book, I think Jermey hit him for publishing a photo of him snogging someone other than his wife, a tad topical I think

PiersMorgan · 10/10/2006 13:28

Dear Murdoch2,

Great to hear you want to sell FN for us, and I think getting other mums out there doing the same is a great idea. We will let mumsnet know how this progresses.

MellowMonsta · 10/10/2006 13:28

Yes. Answer Justines Question Please

Kaloo20 · 10/10/2006 13:28

Yes, Yes, Yes - thank you Piers xxxxx

watch out for my report - will be filed to First News 22nd November

moaningpaper · 10/10/2006 13:29

Does anybody have any questions about menstruation that they'd like to ask Piers?

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:29

Do you think you'll keep posting on Mumsnet after today?

We'd all love to have you here, I'm sure

NOMurDErousPLUME · 10/10/2006 13:29

Well, I've just scroled up from the bottom of the page and he has completely ignored about 3 or 4 questions so far.

niceglasses · 10/10/2006 13:29

Oh dear. I liked the Gordon answer, not the feminist one, not the private ed one. I don't get the ' I can afford it=best education' equation. I'm crap at maths, but that doesn't work for me.

CreepyJess · 10/10/2006 13:29

Do you suppose we ARE really talking to the real Piers Morgan?? Do you think that is remotely possible..

If he hasn't fecked orf we could ask him to prove it..

Perhaps Justine has fired him off on a rocket.

Sigh.

Next?

Greensleeves · 10/10/2006 13:29

Can I have a copy of your new paper? We've just run out of toilet paper

PiersMorgan · 10/10/2006 13:29

Dear CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou

Fn is not a partisan political paper, we will give equal space to all parties and not take sides. We want kids to work it out for themselves.

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:30

Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?

What's your favourite cheese?

Do you intend to answer any of my questions today, or has mention of The Hoff scuppered it for me?

bundle · 10/10/2006 13:30

Piers, did you enjoy the 6th form (my husband was at the same school)?

JessaJackOLantern · 10/10/2006 13:30

overrun - don't burst my bubble!

shimmy21 · 10/10/2006 13:30

oh perlease Piers. Enough of the first news.

hunkermunster · 10/10/2006 13:31

This has made me laugh "Dear CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou"

nailpolish · 10/10/2006 13:31

i dont think its really piers morgan

its a computer programme that randomly throws in a few pre-written posts on his new paper

Greensleeves · 10/10/2006 13:31

Oh come on, man, you can't be that useless at typing! My two-year-old can field questions better than this, and he knows when he's in trouble
