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.

[Winehouse]

Dear Charlie Brooker

The question most likely to test you so far is Nancy 66's about inciting moral outrage. Do you agree?

[Hassled]

I want to be part of a monstrous regiment of peri-menopausal women more than anything else in the world. That would be a fine weekend outing.

[edam]

Hurrah, Charlie's coming! I like this new policy of MN obeying my commands, I must say.

Charlie, are you accustomed to people running across the street when they spot you these days? (Heading in your direction, not running away.) Only my dh did just that some years ago in Clapham Junction and apparently you looked as if you thought you were about to be mugged. He only wanted to tell you he loved your stuff... (Think you were writing for The Truth at the time - this was so long ago no-one had heard of global warming. In fact man probably hadn't landed on the moon. Or if he had, Clapham was yet to hear of it.)

Oh Lord I have turned into an embarrassing fan who rambles...

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

[Hassled]

Do you think you really will lose out at the British Comedy Awards to the kids from Outnumbered? The Guardian today seem to think so. If you lost, would that make you like children more or less?

[Eve4Walle]

Ah nuts, I will be at work. Boo!

[Eve4Walle]

Must think of a v.good question to ask. Off now to do that.

[WilfSell]

Who IS Charlie Brooker, anyway?

[Snorbs]

Charlie,

You've done quite a lot of fairly different stuff - comics, writing, presenting, quiz-show host etc etc.

Is this all part of a planned career with some clear end-goal in sight (the next Tarantino/Gervais/Mao, perhaps) or just a random mix of doing whatever seems like fun at the time?

[julesrose]

Dear Charlie
I think you're great, really do. But - I worry about your insomnia. I know it's odd but on Monday if you mention it it's on my mind...Are you going to do anything about it? Therapy / doctor, I don't know? Or do you think if you became relaxed and well balanced and happy (with many good nights sleep) your column would start to suck...?

[PfftTheMagicDragon]

Maybe Charlie has read all about how horrid and snippish we are and is coming on in order to be the one who tames us....

rar...

[bouffin]

Dear Mr Brooker
Sorry you always seem so miserable. From coin shitter to leswossible you have made me very happy. Can't think of a question.

[Slambang]

Hi Charlie

Will the outpouring of pre, peri and post menopausal/natal/menstrual etc lust directed towards you on this site make you insufferably big-headed or sweetly bashful?

We clearly fancy you for your large and throbbing brain. Whose brain would you like to have a dirty weekend with?

[squeaver]

What would your Desert Island box set(s) be?

NB: no fawning in this question, so answer it ffs

[PhoebeLaura]

Dear Mr Brooker,

I read your Guardian article some time back describing your hatred of spiders, those "godless eight-legged b*stards" and I agreed whole-heartedly with every word. I would like to know if you have come up with any new and ingenious ways of killing them which I can practise between now and next September.

Ta very much.

[squeaver]

Aside from The Wire, need I add?

[JaceyBee]

Hi Charlie, I was so stuck for a question that would make me sound clever, witty and fantastic that I asked AQA what I should ask you and they said 'you should ask if Nathan Barley is coming back for a 2nd series. Also ask him if if ever gets the impulse to be really cheery sometimes'. So that's what I'm going with, even though it's proper lame and I could have done better if I had longer to think about it! It seems we find you way more intimidating than the PM or that twat Cameron, perhaps because we're in love with you and stuff. Seriously though, you are one of the good guys Charlie, thank you for making me laugh.xxx

[TanteRose]

this morning's Brooker

Mumsnet HQ - Do NOT, repeat, NOT give in to any of Charlie's crazy demands when he visits you today...he will turn into Mariah Carey right in front of your eyes....

[posieparker]

Is it okay for a parent to stay at home and take care of children or does that make them excellent fodder for dinner party piss taking?

And (yes I know it's two)

Are you so acerbic with friends and do you have many?

Oh and you make me smile, nice to have someone on the television that says what most of us are thinking, only with more wit!

[FrannyandZooey]

oh lumme, one question each and no fawning allowed
that's me scuppered, I only come on webchats if it's someone I want to fawn over and after reading this morning's Charlie I was ready to ask him to marry me

ok
Charlie
how would you describe your expression in the photo which accompanies your guardian column?
it always perplexes me
I can't decide whether you are feeling barely controlled contemptuous rage, or have indigestion
or maybe it's a foxy kind of bedroom look but your bunions are playing up a bit?
please enlighten us

[WouldYouCouldYouWithaGoat]

is jonathan meades your less cheerful elder brother?

[policywonk]

[Skegness]

Do you think 10 year olds should be allowed to watch Screenwipe or You Have Been Watching? Or South Park? Or Armstrong and Miller? Or anything which makes their patents kill themselves laughing? I tend to feel that the latter is a sure sign that the viewing material is unsuitable for children but they and my partner think I'm a killjoy censor...
