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

[nigglewiggle]

The cheek!!

Also who said "that's the cringiest thing I've ever heard." You've been mentioned on HIGNFY .

I want to post but am laughing too much at some of the responses here... especially hobgoblins "i would virtual shag Ian Hislop if he were ever here. you'd have to lock my username for the day" LOLOL

Shame on you hobgoblin - have you NO taste woman?

...

And I posted this on the other thread:

Actually Hislop was a patronising twat but I didn't think - apart from the Gordon bashing - it reflected particularly badly on MN. The 'cringe' comment at least showed we're not all complete fuckwits.

I'm not sure I'd expect much else.

But Hislop should be dragged by the balls. is his missus a MNer?

Wilf - you may wish to review your apostrophe usage there ...

How about we give Dick Griffin the platform with which he can hang himself which was so sadly absent last night on QT?

Come on MNHQ. Can we have DG?

His missus? Someone is actually willing to fuck that?

When he laughs his eyes disappera which is very creepy.

Oh JB...you cant say something like that AND get all bothered about a bit of face wrinkling

heh heh heh MNHQ Tweeting (somewhat sinisterly, I feel) 'if you know IH, we want to talk to him...

Can you imagine Hislop's face when he...

No. NO. The thought is too gruesome.

He has 2 children

Lets hope he doesn't read this thread if he does come on for a chat... I dont think we'd be raising his opinion.

Oh no!@ JV

An I so wanted to impress him!

JV - are you really Ian Hislop???

Yes. Yes I am.

(I was talking about Griffin BTW)

I think I'm on teh wrong thread, reading one, posting on another.

This wine is ver, ver good.

It all makes sense now.

Cause someone will f--k him, he's wealthy. .

Hope he does accept the invite to come on here but lets hope we know exactly how the 'live chat' is being conducted. So who is going to ask him about biscuits if he does. Thinking about it what would we want to know from this smug, over-rehearsed comedian?

He's not a comedian.

He's not a smug over-rehearsed comedian. He is the editor of the radical and satirical publication that has consistently pierced the pompous nonsense of politicians, corporations, local authoriries and celebrity wankers for decades. Give the guy a break. Stupid moment. But let's not lose our own satirical tone with the bathwater, hey?
