End of an era - MP hanging up her... erm... keyboard

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.

I only clicked on this as I was mildly curious as to which MP had resigned - imagine my surprise and distress!
Erm so long and thanks for all the fish - can't wait for the delights of Aitches' RU.

Awww bye bye MP, good luck with the job. Your round ups always brighten my Fridays ( I get quite narky when you DARE to go on holiday!)

I was thrilled beyond measure when I got mentioned one Christmas....new computer now and all my saved emails disappeared but I did feature once I DID!!

iwasyoungonce · 22/04/2010 08:59

Good luck MP - I have really enjoyed your round-ups! You are hilarious, and really talented x

Bucharest · 22/04/2010 08:56

You can have mine, absolutely no problem, I'll have him DHL'd over tout-de-suite

morningpaper · 22/04/2010 08:54

Anyone's husband is welcome to contact me for private roundups

QuintessentialShadow · 22/04/2010 08:46

Yay! To Aitch!

I look forward to seeing your roundups!

Good Look in your new role, MP!

Bucharest · 22/04/2010 08:06

Mine haven't been arriving either for about a year, but I cannot go to work on a Friday (I work in the afternoon) if I haven't found Roundup in the little box!)

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou MP for brightening my Fridays! (and for mentioning me twice! )

Hurrah for Aitch!

JJ · 22/04/2010 07:26

You are leaving! I will miss your roundups and my husband will especially.

Aitch, am looking forward to yours. Might take a bit longer for my husband to come around, he's fiercely loyal, but I'm sure you'll win him over.

Furball · 22/04/2010 07:04

I stopped getting them too! it was a while back - I assumed they had stopped being sent.

I've also checked my settings and it says I should received them?

solo · 22/04/2010 02:00

I used to get them tortoise, but they don't go into my junk mail, so I don't know why I don't get them...never mind.
Shame! I used to really belly laugh...will miss your musings MP.

Heathcliffscathy · 22/04/2010 01:31

sayonara woman. i hope this means MORE not less mn-ing!!!

good luck aitch!

ooo two of my fave mners!

tortoiseonthehalfshell · 22/04/2010 01:29

Maybe check your spam filters, those of you with difficulty - those sorts of mass emails tend to get caught quite often.

MP, it's been wonderful, I think we've made quite a team; you, diligently recording my words of wisdom, I, casting pearls before swine ...erm, I haven't really thought this through, have I?

solo · 22/04/2010 01:21

My preferencesare set, but I haven't receive the MorningPaper into my box for about a year

LadyBiscuit · 21/04/2010 23:07

I can't imagine the pressure aitch - you've got to be witty and urbane on a consistent basis

Rather you than me

AitchTwoZone · 21/04/2010 22:45

no, hang on, that's star trek, innit?

theyoungvisiter · 21/04/2010 22:40

oh you two, get a room. Ew.

[embalms both and locks in tardis]

AitchTwoZone · 21/04/2010 22:39

c'mere, i've got orders to embalm you... the queen is dead, long live the queen.

(MP i'm shitting it, i genuinely always read your round ups and think 'ho ho i'd be SHIT at that by comparison'. i didn't mention this to Justine though).

morningpaper · 21/04/2010 22:28

I haven't regenerated yet

I will miss you MP (especially as you quoted me once or twice) but if I'm honest Aitch has always been my favorite letter...
