Live web-chat with Tony Parsons, 9pm-10pm, 6 October

[rachel(mumsnet)]

Columnist and author Tony Parsons will be joining us here on Monday 6th October from 9-10pm for a live chat. Tony's sixth novel, 'My Favourite Wife' has just been published and is described by The Independent as 'a much bigger, more ambitious book' than million-selling 'Man and Boy'. If you can't make the chat you can post your questions in advance here.
Hope to see you here on Monday.

Hi Tony. Frank Skinner was on Front Row this evening - apparently he never reads his own reviews & sounds delighted to do without them. Had you ever thought of living without them?

lol Bigwads!

"You get your money's worth with Tony" That is DEFINITELY the nicest thing that anyone EVER said about me. GOD these RED BULLS seem to be WORKING!!! Tony xxxooo

Welcome to the Mumsnet Lodge

tony, when is julia roberts doing the movie?

mehgalegs, I'm lurking grumpily and uncharmed, but must say respect to Mr P for the wpm.

oi MP - hands off my xxxOOO!

My partner warned me you would wrongfoot us all by being charming and nice. Well done. [grudging]

Answer my other questions!

mp that sounds really pervvy!

Oi! My DH is Bill Holden! Am I Your Favourite Wife?

Oh I didn't know that you had a Japanese wife (am guessing from the name). I worked in (rural) Japan for a while- loved it. Do you speak good Japanese?

Whooohoo Mehgalegs! One skeptic (read: not cynic) still here!

Bill Holden was a naughty naughty boy!

Look, I can't be sure but I don't think you've addressed ScummyMummy's post, where she asks (very eloquently):
Hello, Tony.

Do you still prefer "exotic" women as opposed to "big brood mares with saggy tits"?

Will you be proud when your daughter grows up to read your views on her gender as evidenced by the following delightful snippet:

"Why should a woman never get drunk? Because being drunk makes you loud, obnoxious, sentimental and stupid. And ... women are like that when they are completely sober."

Do you regret talking like that?

"mp that sounds really pervvy!"

well that's hardly a first for mp. I'd reckon she's just getting started

I do think you should answer that q from Scummy, come on

I'm not fucking charmed scummymummy, come back, don't fall for it!!

Dear Wendy Weber - well, if that works for Frank skinner then good lucky to him - I think personally that there's something about pretending you don't care about reviews - WE ALL CARE!! but you have to find a way to not let them paralyse you - you can let them hurt you, but you can't let them break your heart - because you have to go on . THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. WHO WAS PRESENTING FRONT ROW TONIGHT? WERE THEY ANY GOOD?? OH FUCK THIS IS NOT MEANT TO ALL BE IN CAPITALS...TONY XXXOOO

I'm drinking wine. Should I be drinking red bull?

I now know it is true what they say about bored housewives. I am ashamed of you all!

what doe XXXOOO mean?

It was Mark Lawson. He was Mark Lawson

I think OOO are hugs.......

TP said 'fuck'
