Live webchat with Sandi Toksvig - Friday 2 Nov 1-2pm

You are going up and up in my estimation GNHQ! James Martin and now Sandi Toksvig! Can you give her a username and get her to join? I would love to chat with her on a few of our threads

Is it true you live on a houseboat? And (completely unrelated - sorry) what gave you the idea for this book?

I would love to know how much of the banter on my favourite radio programme (The News Quiz) is rehearsed.

I'd love to know more about your views on history and male bias. The book sounds very interesting

Oh good! I'll look forward to this. Will try to think of a question too. But hello Sandi in the meantime.

You have such a successful career - I wondered if you had ever experienced discrimination for your age (or indeed sex/sexuality)

Hello Sandy - I know you are a mum. Do you hope to be a gran one day and if so will you join us on Gransnet?

You always seem so buoyant. Do you ever loose it and have a good rant or do you always see the funny side?

No questions but just want to say I LOVE your column in Good Housekeeping. It is so wise and always always makes me smile. Thank you

Sandi was at boarding school with me (in the same dorm) and was exactly the same then - always had us in hysterics with her stories just want to say hello and congratulations on everything and look forward to reading her latest book.

Saw you in Chester Town Hall this week. Can you please remind me of the title and author of your of favourite book.

Hej, Sandi.
I know you can give as good as you get (or better!) but I sometimes wonder if you get fed-up with the condescending attitude of many English people towards other nations, and towards Denmark in particular?

PS Sounds as if I'm going to have to read Good Housekeeping!

Hej, Sandi

What ambitions do you have and what (if any) regrets?

Thanks for keeping me entertained!

Hej Sandi,

You are a real polymath with success in writing books & plays, broadcasting, performing live shows and acting etc etc. You are an ace communicator!

You feature on my list of '6 people you have never met but would like to invite to a dinner party'! Who would feature on your list?

I have enjoyed so many of your writings and broadcasts so thank you, tak!

Sandi. I have always enjoyed your shows (except for the one about a certain rock in the Atlantic with 14000 alcoholics clinging to it)
Is your book out yet as I am looking forward to reading it!

Did you hope to be as successful as you are or do you think you have struck lucky and taken the chances when they have come along? And following on from minette's question do you find people are more relaxed about a person's sexuality now than in the past?

Welcome Sandi!

Your books are so entertaining – I actually went out to buy a replacement copy of Flying Under Bridges when I realized I’d mistakenly put it in the Oxfam box. And that’s after having read it twice. This new one sounds very interesting indeed. You must have a favourite heroine/harridan? Care to share?

You were at Cambridge with a lot of very funny people. Are you all still friends? And did that play a part in your success?

Just to let you know that Sandi Toksvig's new book of Fabulous Females, Heroines & Harridans, has its own Facebook Page! https://www.facebook.com/HeroinesandHarridans

Hi Sandi, You are such a busy lady, do you think you will ever retire, and if so, how will you fill your days?

It's not at all uncommon for female comedians to be lesbians. Are lesbians just funnier?

Sandi, do you think any men will read your book?

<thinks it would be good for them>

Just clicked on the facebook page link and saw that there was a (brilliant) illustration of someone called Titana the Fat Girl.

Who on earth was Titana the Fat Girl and why would anyone give their child a name like that?
