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

what about SN?

and then we can start a mass parp-off, i'm sure you'd enjoy that.

"Ian Hislop is an irritating, hypocritical, moon-faced midget with the weakest handshake in Britain." allegedly

ScareyCaligulaCorday · 10/10/2006 14:01

Piers, will you be using Mumsnet for parenting advice in the future?

MellowMonsta · 10/10/2006 14:01

huw edwards (the real one) or darren jordan?

Ilovemyspacehopper · 10/10/2006 14:02

This is like listening to 10 year old girls all bullying the one boy they all have a crush on.

Piers, what do you think about the balance of the news aimed toward children. Are their ever positive news articles anymore.

Overrun · 10/10/2006 14:03

Fair enough JessaJackOLantern, I understand that, and believe me I am in your corner. However,he can't win can he, every one assumes he means hair clips and first kisses when he said "girl related issues" then when he gives a valid of example of anorexia, people jump in saying its not just a girl thing. Well it is mainly, lets face it.

TwigTwoolett · 10/10/2006 14:04

OMG you put an apostrophe in yours .. how crap do you feel?

fairyfly · 10/10/2006 14:04

Dear Piers, please may i have permission to lie and say the reason you are on mn was to head hunt me, i think it would make more more attractive to the opposite sex and it has been quite a while since i have recieved any flowers. Thankyou.

Gobbledispook · 10/10/2006 14:05

OMG, what a horrible man

Please answer Redbull'S question properly and thoughtfully before you disappear into the ether

Greensleeves · 10/10/2006 14:05

Why is it that men assume that women who are blunt about their dislike of them must be secretly gagging for it? I have expressed my distaste for Piers Morgan because I find him and his "work" distasteful. I wouldn't touch him with someone else's bargepole.

Just to be clear

TwigTwoolett · 10/10/2006 14:06

I like Piers Morgan .. but I also like Ian Hislop

I can see a split personality forming

anorak · 10/10/2006 14:06

Piers I didn't have much of an opinion about you before reading this thread. Boy has that changed! How on earth have you got anywhere in life with your belittling sneering attitude? The mothers on this site aren't your enemies even, all we are are prospective customers.

You're the only businessman I've ever come across who tries to drum up business with lewd drivel and uninformed insults. Why would I want to spend money to buy a product promising to inflict more of the same, since you're controlling its content?

Stargazer · 10/10/2006 14:06

Well this has been most entertaining. I'd like to think that Piers will read this thread later and give careful consideration to some of the questions posted - Slug's, and the one on special needs. It would be nice if he could later on post his responses so that we can see what he thinks.

Perhaps, next time (do come back) you'll get someone who can type faster .

I know that you're here mainly to promote your newspaper (it's good) - but it would be good to have some real answers.

Greensleeves · 10/10/2006 14:07

disappear into the ethanol, more like

UlySCREAMS · 10/10/2006 14:07

I'd love to go to the pub with Hislop. Oh but my dream would be a night with Hislop, Fry and Merton.....ahhhhhhhh

JessaJackOLantern · 10/10/2006 14:07

I just don't like the concept of segregating current affairs along gender lines.

WideWebWitch · 10/10/2006 14:08

Oooh I liked him, some funny answers.

willow2 · 10/10/2006 14:08

Piers - are you still there?? Insiders say you are too left wing to edit the Daily Mail. Are they right... and would you even want to?

Kelsbells · 10/10/2006 14:09

I don't think we can criticise Piers for "lewd comments" when we set the tone by discussing his shaggability and asking him what underwear he wears...

CheesyFeetcomingtoGETyou · 10/10/2006 14:09

Has he gone

I love a good bunfight
