Live webchat with Charlie Brooker on Monday 23rd November at 12pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Guardian columnist and broadcaster Charlie Brooker will be joining us at Mumsnet for a live webchat next Monday (23rd November) between 12 and 1pm. If you can't join us, post your advance questions to Charlie here.

[Boco]

It's not FAIR I missed it. Have been looking forward to this all weekend.

I think that MPs and future PMs need to read and model themselves on Charlie for how to do good web chat. Basically you have open by calling us all disgusting sycophants, be a violently disappointed goon in the middle, punch yourself in the kidneys and then call us shitbags.

[JackBauer]

Boco, when you put it like that, it's odd that I feel very satisfied

[CatIsSleepy]

will admit I did swoon slightly at being called a shitbag by charlie

actually, no idea why noel fielding would want to come on here either but it would be lovely if he did

[Boco]

You really need to be able to see Noel Fielding's hair to appreciate him fully, so not sure if a webchat would work. Unless mn could get various pictures of him scrolling across the top.

[onebatmother]

Came in late - the atmosphere in here is positively post-coital. Someone open a window, will you?

[cyteen]

Fucksticks, why was I rewriting fucking case studies when it's not even a work day when I could have been discussing David's Cameron's spunking habits with CHARLIE FUCKING BROOKER? Great steaming epic mugs of fail.

I only wanted to ask him if he knew about the Wanky Shit Demon.

[onebatmother]

Second Boco on Noel's hair being essential element of any encounter with him - also his freaky but lilting and lovely delivery.

Although I could just lean my lifesize cut-out of him against the kitchen worktop, and imaginate.

It could work, you know.

[cyteen]

I'm more of a Julian Barratt girl, myself. Noel looks like a big puppy.

[Boco]

God yes his lovely soft, cheeky delivery, and his funny arm movements and claw hands. Not claw like all the time, just do illustrate certain points. We'd need scrolling FOOTAGE. And sound bites. No, we need to meet him. I bet he smells nice. That's what you're missing with your lifesize cut out OB. Unless you regularly spray it.

[onebatmother]

Oh I do.

[DanDruff]

has he gone yet?

[cyteen]

OBM, you need a [scentmark] emoticon

[CatIsSleepy]

lol@ 'No, we need to meet him.'
asking rather a lot of MN I think...

[ILikeToMoveItMoveIt]

Noel would also have to wear his gold platform boots and poncho.

Maybe he could also bring Bollo along ....

[Boco]

Maybe you're right catissleepy, it is a lot to ask. Maybe it's best if just I go to meet him. I will draw a nice picture of his hair for the homepage.

I wonder if this'll get in the papers, though. If so, journos take note of what Mn really likes.

[FrannyandZooey]

how did it come to this, that we are left a bit breathless by a man who has made a living out of being contemptuously disappointed, and calls us all shitbags?

i am outraged at us

[Boco]

Franny I've missed you!

Stay a while and be contemptuously disappointed - you know how much fun it was when we used to do that! It will probably be disappointing. But then we can be contemptuous about it!

[cocolepew]

Thanks MNHQ and CB

Good luck preggersplayspop!

[Initio]

That was absolutely brilliant! Thanks CB (and Mumsnet)

[theyoungvisiter]

I missed the live thing but thanks for answering my question Charlie - more than Gordon or David did so based on that I'll be voting Brooker at the next election, should you care to stand.

I read this chat while making Nigella Lawson's Beef Casserole with Anchovies and Thyme and giggling profusely at the ejaculation gags. TBH I think that pretty much sums up mumsnet.

Middleclass filth and top quality puerile banter, combined with food snobbery.

[policywonk]

Now THAT was a webchat. Thanks for answering Zepherine's my question. Let us know if you want to take us up on the monstrous regiment thing.

[PopsyWind]

Thanks MNHQ, and Charlie for answering my question!!
