[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.

and of course, vice versa

[CatIsSleepy]

oooooh charlie brooker!!!!

[DorotheaPlenticlew]

Have faith, Cap'n. I'm sure he would only be scathing and/or rude if someone deserved it, in which case fair enough. MN can take it.

[midnightexpress]

That's right hassled. Thanks. Ignore all my remarks re marriage Mr Brooker, but you can answer my question if you like.

Why is Jim Shelley a wanker, Hassled (don't read the Mirror)?

[Hassled]

• I'm sure Mr Shelley is a lovely, lovely man. He was only a wanker because he abandoned the Guardian for the Mirror. But then if he hadn't, Charlie wouldn't have got the Screen Burn gig and the world would be a much poorer place.

So in fact I should be thanking him, rather than randomly abusing him on the internet.

[ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave]

Charlie, given that you have written that you hate kids "without exception", hate parents and genuinely believe that children should be seen and not heard "and preferably neither", is doing a Mumsnet webchat a sign that you (a) have lost all your marbles (b) are rather missing all the hate mail you got over that George Bush thing, or (c) just want to tell us about your favourite biscuit?

[midnightexpress]

or (d) have something to plug?

[ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave]

I was rather taking (d) as a given.

[midnightexpress]

Maybe he's going to stand as an MP?

[arolf]

My DP wants to ask Mr Brooker 'Why do women love you so much, given that your whole schtick is whining about the crapness of the world?'

(i think he's just jealous)

Oh, and not a question - but when I was living in america, your columns were the highlight of my week - thank you for keeping me in touch with the scathing british humour I missed so much

[dizietsma]

[swoons]

When's the next series of Newswipe Charlie?

Also, WTF are you thinking? Mumsnet webchat? Talk about out of you element!

[brings popcorn]

[MissWooWoo]

About fucking time we had a real man on here ... you can keep your Gordon's and your David's

BRING ON THE CHARLIE !!!

[PfftTheMagicDragon]

I bet Mr Brooker can answer more than 1 question every 13.5 minutes. Well, lets hope....

[JackBauer]

Thank you MN! Awesome!

Hmmm, questions...so many

[Tidey]

Oh..My...God



I can't possibly think of a question good enough.

[defineme]

Was Dappy from Ndubz really that stupid?

[choosyfloosy]

This feels extremely incongruous.

Just wanted to say thanks very much for your piece(s?) on the death of Oliver Postgate.

[stays gingerly balanced above the sea of overheated lust boiling below]

[JackBauer]

Oh I know.

It has been discussed here many times how a lot of households have a Zombie Plan. As our house is not easy to secure from Zombies our plan is to all get on the motorbike with the kids in carriers, speed through Zombies down to the marina. Get onto boat and stay out at sea until it is clear or we find a safe haven. (It includes little variants obviously)

Do you have a Zombie plan and what is it?

[Sparkletastic]

Firstly I'd like to briefly fawn over you and casually mention that I am currently reading 'Dawn of the Dumb'.

I should ask you something desperately insightful and intelligent but what I really want to know is are you still friends with Aisleyne and would you ever go to Glastonbury again (with or without Aisleyne)?

[claraquack]

What does Mr Brooker actually do? I have heard of him but not sure why. Is he on the telly? (Sorry I am a bit out of it as I don't live in the UK at the moment).

[ohmeohmy]

If the leader of the world (Murdoch??) forced you to go on a reality programme (on threat of death of many many puppies if you didn't) which would you grace with your presence?

[southeastastra]

oh fab i love him! he twitters alot. can't think of anything to ask him

second the aisleyne question (lame)

are you going to make any more tv shows?

[MissAnthrope]

Lenin - the Moir tightrope line was a RT was it not?
