So Ian Hislop thinks Gordon Brown came on Mumsnet because it "wasn't too tough." Can we have Ian Hislop on a webchat please...

but would anyone want to talk to him?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 23/10/2009 21:26

he does do nice programmes on the first world war.

LilyBolero · 23/10/2009 21:27

I'd talk to him, he is phenomenally intelligent!

CarGirl · 23/10/2009 21:27

he's an editor not a comedian

morningpaper · 23/10/2009 21:28

I'm sure he has four children or something

I saw him on Charing Cross station once and nearly put him in a my pocket as a souvenir

CherylVole · 23/10/2009 21:28

so he can breed.
then what

CherylVole · 23/10/2009 21:28

Ivykaty44 · 23/10/2009 21:29

You think he wants to be the biscuit

SorciereAnna · 23/10/2009 21:29

He commutes from Staplehurst station to Charing Cross - he lives in Sissinghurst in Kent and can often be seen in Cranbrook on Saturdays and playing tennis at Sissinghurst Tennis Club

Yes please - Ian Ian Hislop on a web chat. We'll try not to be too hard on him.

CarGirl · 23/10/2009 21:30

Let's get him on and broaden his mind! He could even do a Friday night as HIGNFY is recorded and then we could really show him what we're made of .

I think he's fantastic

blisteringly intelligent and funny

Deadworm · 23/10/2009 21:31

The contempt with which he spat out the word 'Mumsnet' was amazing. So much prejudice inb so few syllables. Little toad.

morningpaper · 23/10/2009 21:33

oh gosh yes of course his wife writes those diabolical novels

Doodleydoo · 23/10/2009 21:34

If we are crucifying Hislop - what do you reckon to having Nick Griffin on? Can you imagine how we could make him cry?

He obviously is not a mn as those who don't moan about it and those who do are addicted

CherylVole · 23/10/2009 21:34

cargirl

SorciereAnna · 23/10/2009 21:34

I skimmed read The Island on holiday in Greece two years ago - total dross...

CherylVole · 23/10/2009 21:35

CherylVole · 23/10/2009 21:35
