Great interview.

I'm friends with Jo Brand's god-daughter.

JesusTapdancingChrist · 04/02/2018 14:03

The origin of eatshitderek is the Will Ferrell film Stepbrothers. .

Also adore Jo Brand

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 04/02/2018 14:03

That Have I Got News for you moment was a high spot in an otherwise very bleak time for women.

I absolutely agree about the no-platforming. It gives me the absolute rage. When Cardiff University no- platformed Germaine Greer - Germaine Greer - for not having what they deemed to be the correct views...

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 04/02/2018 14:04

Grin Hi Jo Cake

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 04/02/2018 14:04

Oh, and “ladies”. I loathe that word.

Thischatnameisalreadyinuse · 04/02/2018 14:06

*“One thing that does drive me mad is when women are called ‘ladies’. It implies a feminine subservience, an obsession with appearance, a waiting to be manoeuvred, a weakness, a quietness. I’ve had to stop myself from shouting, ‘It’s WOMEN!’ many times."

Me too! I love Jo Brand.

I still think of menstrual pads as fairy hammocks.

Tell me I’m not the only one who remembers the thing about fairy hammocks...

TheQueenOfWands · 04/02/2018 14:08

I remember fairy hammocks.

I wonder what Jo calls mooncups? Pixie Goblets?

ColinsVeryJolly · 04/02/2018 14:09

Yep total fan girl here, I adore Jo Brand, I wish I was as witty and brilliant as her.

Fliggt · 04/02/2018 14:11

Hi Jo! I think you're fab & what you said on HIGNFY was just amazing!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 04/02/2018 14:12

So who are you on here?? You can't not tell us now Grin I remember HIGNFY very well. It was disorientating and upsetting to see Ian Hislop (normally so keen to attack politicians) attacking victims of sexual assault/harrassment instead. I want to believe him that it was down to editing, but idk. I noticed that they edited it again on the highlights show, to make him look more reasonable (and coincidentally make Jo look like she was overreacting Hmm)

StoatofDisarray · 04/02/2018 14:14

Jo Brand is on Mumsnet? waves excitedly hi Jo, big fan here!

hackmum · 04/02/2018 14:14

Another fan here. Loved Getting On.

RogueAnnJosh · 04/02/2018 14:15

Loved that article. Love Jo Brand!
If she’s been on mumsnet for years, I wonder what she made of penis beaker?

Atalune · 04/02/2018 14:15

I really miss eatshitderek. She was fucking epic.

Jo! I think you’re magnificent.

Atalune · 04/02/2018 14:21

I think penis beaker was a dreadful abomination and not what MN does best. At. All.

I miss people like-
Realityismyonlydelusions
Chaostrulyreigns
Zombie
Marmaladetwatkins. But was that reality too?!
Pinot
BupcakesandCunting. But was that reality too???

I’ve been on here for 10 years and there has been some brilliant, clever, articulate and bloody funny women on here.

Sigh......I’m getting on!

derxa · 04/02/2018 14:24

Hi Jo I love you though I'm not a Labour supporter. Does that matter?

Frouby · 04/02/2018 14:24

Ooooh hi Jo. Luffs you a lot. I want to be you when I grow up.

c75kp0r · 04/02/2018 14:27

Thanks OP, reading this has give me a real boost. Hey, Jo.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 04/02/2018 14:27

Well said Jo, about both the no platforming and your response on HIGNFY.

RogueAnnJosh · 04/02/2018 14:27

@derxa - depends, who do you support?

Green/libdem/women’s equality?

Or shuddders

UKIP/Tory/satanhimself?

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 04/02/2018 14:29

Hey Jo!!!!

Love you too !

Cocolepew · 04/02/2018 14:42

Oh I was totally wrong BlushGrin

derxa · 04/02/2018 14:47

I'm a bit of a NoParty supporter. I can't stand most of the buggers. Grin

BeyondWitchbitchterf · 04/02/2018 14:52

Hiya Jo!! I had a sneaking suspicion you might be on mn.
