AntonioGramsci · 23/11/2009 13:20

Oh!, my god, you are cute, Charlie! And please, ladies, enough about David Cameron being a premature ejaculator, I am feeding the baby!!!!!!

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/11/2009 13:20

DH has a Q!!! - on Screenwipe is that your real house? please answer!

BecauseImWorthIt · 23/11/2009 13:20

... although I think that's more of a Jammy Dodger than a Bourbon

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 13:20

CatisSleepy, I'm watching LOADS of shit at the moment for the Screenwipe Review of the Year. It's actually quite good fun. I've watched The Execution of Gary Glitter 3 times now.

But the biscuit means "I have nothing to say on the matter", and Charlie normally does.

ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave · 23/11/2009 13:21

And do you ever think "sod it, this week I'm just going to order preview discs of stuff I think I'll enjoy"?

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 23/11/2009 13:21

I thought I would have to miss this but hoorah didn't.

You have been wonderful but please answer at least one of my questions.

What's for dinner?

JackBauer · 23/11/2009 13:21

But that emoticon is surely you

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 13:22

On Screenwipe -- yes it is my real flat. I don't know why people think it's a set. If it was a set we'd make it look glamorous.

The bits in my flat are shot by me, on my own, with a camera and a remote, at about 4am. I often feel like I'm having a breakdown and talking to no-one.

MissGreatBritain · 23/11/2009 13:23

Watching the execution of Gary Glitter just the once would be entertaining.

BitOfFun · 23/11/2009 13:23

Charlie, I have usually found that men who are witty and urbane and have lots to say tend to be putty in the hands of their even more formidable wives...does your partner have a Death Stare that can silence you in an instant?

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 13:23

TheDevilWearsPrimark, Green Thai curry. Film 2010... nope, though I'd like to do a 'Big Screen Wipe' about movies one day maybe.

Hassled · 23/11/2009 13:23

Another Magus fan here - have just forced the oldest son to read it.

Have really enjoyed reading this - many thanks Charlie and MNHQ.

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 13:24

BitofFun, she tends to just talk over me

MissWooWoo · 23/11/2009 13:25

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 13:25

Righto shitbags, that's about it. NOW BUY MY NEW BOOK OFF AMAZON OR THE GUARDIAN OR IN A SHOP OR SOMETHING. GO ON, BUY IT.
