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.

Im still all set up to receive these but they stopped coming about a year ago. Would be really good if it could be sorted since a few of us seem to be having this problem.

Good Look to both of you hope you both do well in your new jobs!

theyoungvisiter · 21/04/2010 21:28

cross posted with your last - you are spookily ahead of me! Though I still want the airbrushed botox-Aitch.

theyoungvisiter · 21/04/2010 21:27

Aitch, I'm already larfing at your fishalike lard-hate commentary

Will you have a madly airbrushed pic of yourself on the new roundup? Preferably alongside a bunch of platitudes about Fairness for Change.

it will be change that works for you, Habs, building a fairer round-up, indeed a future fair for all and a year for change (to boring-er). we can't go on like this.

And what about 'efficiency savings' as part of the changeover?

MamaG · 21/04/2010 21:19

Poledra

MamaG · 21/04/2010 21:18

PLEASE no bumsex

Habbibu · 21/04/2010 21:15

Are you going to fix Broken MN (or perhaps Mangled MN) for Hard Working Families, Aitch?

AitchTwoZone · 21/04/2010 21:13

hahahaha 'we'll always have lebanon'. DO IT.

tish and pish on the comparison front, my candidacy for prime minister of the mn round up is based on a fresh approach, a new broom if you like, sweeping out the stale biscuit crumbs of MP's depraved tenure and filling in the expenses-built duck moats of roundups past...

which is my way of saying that i suspect mine will be boring-er but i'll do my best. and christ knows CAT me if you see something funny or i'll just be reporting live from the fish's diet thread. ('day 23 on the anorexic-titled thread - susylvester shouted 'OYU FAT BIFFA, PUT ODWN HTOSE PIRNGLES!' at MamaG for the third time.') so CAT me, loves. but no bumsex.

norksinmywaistband · 21/04/2010 21:07

I think we should have one last round up before the baton is handed over - A summary of the last 4 years... would be interesting to see what makes it in
