It is with deep sadness that we must inform you that Morningpaper has, after four glorious years, decided to retire her mouse and cease to produce the Talk round up. Apparently she has a "proper job with benefits". This Friday's round-up will be her last (so do make sure you're preferences are set to receive it.)
Thankfully we have been rescued from the slough of despond into which we at MN Towers had tumbled by the news that none other than Aitch, who currently scribbles the TV round up for our parenting newsletter, has agreed to step into the breach. We're delighted that's she's cheap available and ready to pick up where MP will very soon be leaving off. So more bumsex then.

will miss morningpaper, but Aitch is good too!
Do hope MP will stick around, that SWMNBN thing was so good - especially as I had read the initial comment that kicked the whole thing off, and remember thinking "very funny wish I could think of things like that to say"
Oh no. Yay!
Just about sums it up.

Congratulations on the new job MP! I always looked forward to your round-up - it will be much missed 
(though Aitch will probably be pretty good too
)
Did a quick rub down with Big Tech not count as a job "with benefits" at MN then? 
Good luck MP - and I look forward to reading Aitch's acerbic take on events.

Oh good on you both.
You've done a grand job MP
<shoves MP off into wings stage left>
<Aitch enters stage right>
Ah, Aitchy my dear.
Have I told you lately how I love you?
A rub down with Big Tech? Oooooh the static ...
All the best in your new pastures, MP. And hooray for Aitch, who I am sure will do the round-up justice

Oh no. What a shame.
I remember how excited I was (sad) when was first mentioned in the round up. Nearly as pleased as when I had my first post deleted (oh innocent times).
Good luck MP, and good luck Aitch.
Is it really four years?
I remember when MP was about to do her first round-up, and asked people to point out interesting threads. I suggested the FLY stuff, and it went in.
I was ridiculously proud.
I've really enjoyed your round-ups MP. Is your new job writing-related? <nosey>

Not a day too soon. At last we'll have some decent commentary.
Will never ever be replacable, sorely missed. Hold on, did I get those the wrong way around?

So what you are really saying is that Aitch and MP had a fight, and Aitch was the hardest?

Could we have a thread with all the quotes of the week for the last four years in honour of her leaving?
