MNHQ (and four bottles of Baileys) HERE: If you could ask anyone anything - who and what would you ask, we ask?

[LilyMumsnet]

Hello folks,

We're thinking about arranging some official AMA (Ask Me Anything) threads and we'd love to know who your dream AMA guest is.

Ever wondered what Tom Hardy dips into his tea? Lost sleep whilst thinking about how Claudia gets her hair so glossy? Curious as to whether her Maj ever settles down with Phil and a tray of snacks to binge-watch The Crown?

Or maybe you’ve wondered what working life is like for a paramedic; how successful entrepreneurs made their fortune; or what school receptionists find most annoying about their job?

Anything goes - so let your imagination run free and tell us who you’d like to see do an AMA by the 20th March to be in with a chance to win a limited edition bottle of Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys. We'll be picking four random winners from this thread.

In the meantime, you can check out some past AMAs here to get some ideas.

P.S If you want to ogle at Baileys collection of flavours, click this creamy link (but you'll need to confirm your age, first).

Competition terms and conditions

A weekly Mumsnet podcast as well would be awesome! 😊

Stacey Solomon would be a good AMA. I like her Instagram stories. She’s funny.

Matt Haig, Alain de Botton, Louis Theroux, Lewis Capaldi, Elizabeth Day, Sandi Toksvig, Dawn O’Porter, Katie Piper, Nigella Lawson, Emma Thompson, David Mitchell, Dr Megan Rossi, Jacinda Ardern, Nicola Walker, Charlotte Tilbury, Adam Kay, Sheryl Sandberg, Lucy Bee, Marie Kondo, Libby Clegg, Michelle Obama...

Carrie Symonds 🙈

I’d want to ask Theresa May what she regrets more - going for PM or mum dancing at that conference. Or is she doesn’t regret anything.

I’d want to ask Henry Viii if, with the benefit of hindsight, he wishes he’d stuck with Cathy Aragon. Or if he was proud of his daughter Liz for being more of a king than many men.

I’d also like to ask Ms Boleyn I’d she really was the schemer or if she just fell in love and events overtook her.

I would love to ask Michael Stipe et al to do one last giddy hurrah as REM so that my brother could see them. And for that they could have my Baileys.

Same goes for the Smiths.

And I’d want to ask my texting thumb how come it doesn’t ruddy type what is in my head...

Nice idea for a thread.

1. Crime scene manager and a pathologist
2. A novelist
3. Astronaut
4. A childminder/nanny
5. A teacher - ideally two, one who loves it and one who doesn’t
6. A bit lottery winner

I'd ask the writers/creators of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes what the heck the significance of the Garibaldi biscuits was. I refuse to believe it's just because they were a 'constant' thing, I believe it was something more, I just wish I knew what it was! I've watched and re-watched these shows every December for 10 years now and I'm still none the wiser!!!

@Sweetdreamer93

I want to know if Mumsnet has an alcohol licence.

We wish! That would make those long evening shifts quite the treat.

I'd ask the royal nannies what really goes on behind closed doors

The wives/partner of various people - Katie Holmes ex’s, Piers Morgan’s, Jeremy Clarkson.....,,,somehow I doubt they’d be keen.....

I would ask the ex-owner of Cadbury's WHY they sold the company to Mondelez/Kraft and do they regret it, now that the recipe for Dairy Milk has changed and that some classic products such as Creme Egg & Wispa no longer use Dairy Milk.

I really would genuinely like to know this

I would ask Louis Theroux how he can keep his cool and keep a neutral perspective talking to some of the most prolific people he talks to!

I'd love an AMA with Kate Middleton! So many questions. Most of them about gossip of course.
I'd also like a AMA with Gary Lightbody so I could ask him to marry me.

The creator of 'In The Night Garden', I'd ask what hallucinogen they were on when the came up with that shit.

And what the fuck is Macca Pacca meant to be...

And do the Wottingers and The Pontipines swing?

So many questions...

I'd like to ask Corbyn if he'd like to allow me to push him into the ocean.

Actually my real question is for the MNHQ Tech Team: are you ever going to fix Advanced Search? The thread on Site Stuff asking for it to be fixed has just passed it's second anniversary - we celebrated in Maui but are now back and still asking?

I'd ask Taylor Swift who her favourite ex boyfriend is.

I'd like a reunion of the cast of the Good Life, if they're still alive.

I'd want to know who fancied who and if they'd totally bang each other now.

I'd like a teenager on AMA, and I'd start every question with 'can I have...'

@HerRoyalCarbyLess I know someone who writes the QI questions. He often goes to filming.

PP said forensic scientist - I'd love to ask them questions! Omg a real life CSI AMA! Yes please!!!

And a forensic psychologist - they must have fascinating jobs.

Prison warden.

Someone who works for CPS - but I doubt they could answer much.

Can you see my theme???

I'd like a reunion of the cast of the Good Life, if they're still alive.

Sorry Morris, 50% of them are dead!

I'd like to ask Prince Harry to blink once if he needs rescuing.....

@QueenOfOversharing oooh I'd love that job!

I'd like to ask Jennifer Saunders if she and Adrian Edmondson have ever considered making a music video together. She could sing and he could dance the ballet

@HerRoyalCarbyLess me too!! 1) I am soooooooo nosey; 2) I'm a perfectionist with work; 3) sooooooo nosey; 4) I find it fascinating; 5) did I mention nosey???

I'd like to ask the Mumsnet team if they could perhaps reply to my question in Site Stuff about displaying more than 100 messages on one page? Pretty please?

Has anyone said Anne Diamond yet?
I want to ask her if she knows how big an impact she had with SIDS and if she would accept a gong.

Send my booze to HelenaDove she needs it more.

Oh and Alex from the Arctic Monkeys I want to ask him if he'll be my boyfriend yet. Probs don't need an AMA for that though just pass me his number.
Ta.
