To MNHQ - what was the GB webchat actually like behind the scenes?

cleanandclothed · 16/10/2009 15:29

Put this in site stuff so MNHQ can see it. I would really like to know:

Who was with him?
Who typed?
Did he read the questions or did someone (who?) read out ones he might like to answer?
Did anyone 'double check' = spin the answers before he sent them?
Was there any cut and paste or were they truly typed/dictated in real time?

Thanks in advance!

knock yourselves out

(And I purposely didn't wear Boden cos I knew you'd all mock me, so there!)

JustineMumsnet · 16/10/2009 18:09

pofacedandproud I thought he did do the environment didn't he? We've sent off some follow up questions which he didn't get to, including Home Ed one, so hopefully he'll get back on that.

Excellent picture Justine.

Tell me, when he came to my place of work and did a speech, we had to have a podium an exact height so he wouldn't have to wear his glasses. Were there any weird requests like that today?

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 16/10/2009 18:28

and DID he smell of vanilla and single malt?

pofacedandproud · 16/10/2009 19:54

He talked about 'us all doing our bit' Justine re the environment, but nothing but industry and new coal fired powered stations, which was asked.

If he comes back that would be great.

( rofl at sensual massagers)

pofacedandproud · 16/10/2009 19:58

Wilf I read that question as 'did he smell of vagina and single malt?'

I do apologise.

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 16/10/2009 20:21

har har. You'll have aitch coming over all faint.

Ew. Am reminded now of Downie Jr on the jonathan Ross show. While out of face. Talking of what he smelt/smelled of.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 16/10/2009 20:39

I notice there's been no comment on the massagers... am I to assume Justine has been storing them at home?

WriggleJiggle · 16/10/2009 21:01

Iamsoupdragon - Fantastic comment!

onebatmother · 16/10/2009 22:25

Gosh he really does look as though he's just said 'hello you little pink thing, you! Nice breasts!' to Carrie.

And Justine's doing a tinkling laugh to try and drown out his faux pas. And covering her own.

I am jealous of bare brick walls at MNHQ. I loooonnnnggg for bare brick walls....

CristinaTheAstonishing · 16/10/2009 23:59

MadameDefarge · 21/10/2009 21:06

I just want to say I want to shower MNHQ with flowers for having shared the biscuits with me...if they had any doubts at the moment the the postie wrestled the package off them to go out, then my ds' thrilled face when told of having biccies from the prime minister should recompense..a very happy 9 year old (not to mention the very happy 45 year old)

VulpusinaWilfsuit · 21/10/2009 21:14

I have just noticed the photo on the MN homepage. The one with all the laptops.

Please. I need to know: was it one of you MNHQ, doing his typing for him? Or is that under Chatham House rules?

JustineMumsnet · 21/10/2009 21:21

No one of his advisers typed for him and you're very welcome Madame D .

AitchTwoToTangOh · 21/10/2009 23:36

did dave camo do his own typing? i can't imagine how a wonk can put across GB's voice, unless they're very skilled.
