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.

Dear Tony

Hi I just wanted to know what music you like these days, and how many children you have?

ps just wanted to say that I was going to ask a bolshy question but you are coming across a lot nicer than you have done in the media...

does it mean kiss kiss kiss hug hug hug, minky?

Yes answer Scummymummy.

I have my recommendations so can happily rejoin the skeptic front of mumsnet

DEAR Morning paper - I am sort of sports casual tonight - old jeans and old T-shirt and old red jumper for a gnarled and scarred old man. THnaks for asking Tony xx

tony i think it was mark lawson. a man with a nasty cough anyway.

they had big piles of your wife book in charing cross library and now they are all gone, are you heavily borrowed nationally?

Oh yuk, tonguey. Behave.

yuck and yuck

oh were they HUGS, I thought they were naked breasts or something

FFS while reading this thread I've eaten the chocolate coins that were meant to go into tomorrow's Pass the Parcel

tony what do you think about cardboard furnitiure ...a stool, xmas tree or bedside bookshelf ?

Welcome Slur

MP give them 'sports candy' instead - strawberries would squash in especially well

TP said 'sports casual'

I have a Stephanie outfit

I'm not sure if that is a Terrible Idea for a 10 stone short arsed middle aged woman

What you think, Tony? (n.b tits too small to sag)

where has he gone?

where has he gone?

Well its gone a bit quiet... and there's still half an hour to go.

I cant think of anything to ask...

Tony how do you take your tea?

Dear Noon ki - i have two kids - although one is not a kid. I have a boy from my first marriage to Julie - his name is Bob and he is - God - 28. And i have a little girl called Jasmine - who turned six this summer. And the first time I became a dad i was young and poor and stupid . And the second time i became a dad i was old and doing okay and not quite as stupid. But the BIG difference is betwene being a father to a boy and a father to a girl. I could read my son - I always knew what he was thinking - but my daughter is a bottomless mystery and completely unpredicable. But they are completely different - he is , and always has been, quiet, thoughtful, the strong silent type. And she is a little hurricane. And just the funniest human being I ever encountered. Some grown-ups were talking about fitness yesterday and she said, "I don't do Pilates - i do violin." And I don't even know why i found that so funny. But i know that i will be able to think about it and smile on my dying day. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. Tony xxoooo

DoubleBluff - if you have the kettle on, then I like it strong and sweet - like my women. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION TONY XXOO

(I have thought about Sports Candy in party bags, a carrot maybe? But if the parents don't watch Lazytown then that is going to look really INEXPLICABLE, isn't it? Especially if I open the door looking like a pink Jimmy Krankie)

MP, as long as you will be sporting the pink wig and bouncing enthusiastically then it will be perfect

Tony, did you have to rush off just now and have a loo break? All that Red Bull must just go straight through you.

I thought Man and boy was written by Nick hornby
