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.

MP's round up made me laugh and made me come back to lurk'n'laugh if I hadn't been on for a few days, good luck with your new job MP.

Great idea about the "quote of the week" summary.

Sorry you're going MP - will you still hang around mumsnet doing normal chatting stuff?

Welcome to your new job Aitch.

YohoAhoy · 21/04/2010 16:56

This is a bit like Dr Who.

Sad to see one go, but keen to see how the new one measures up

cor - tis the end of an era

but yay for Aitch - I think she will do a grand job

Slubberdegullion · 21/04/2010 16:30

aw I love MP's roundup. Even when on my mn breaks I still liked to read it to get the funnies low down. Well done and thank you MP for all your hard work.

Good Show Aitch for taking over the show. Will look forward to seeing it a week friday.

MadameOvary · 21/04/2010 16:29

Congrats on your new job MP
Welcome aitch!

LadyBlaBlah · 21/04/2010 16:24

Despite preferences being set, I never did get a round up in all the 4 years.

Now I will never know the wonder that was the MPRU.

Good luck Aitch. Not too much of a pressure to be hilarious and witty eh?

Smarmies up to Aitch and surreptitiously hands over wadge of cash for honorable mention in round up

dizzydixies · 21/04/2010 16:22

great idea DecorHate - she's been FAB and I'm sure Aitch will do just as fine a job

Poledra · 21/04/2010 16:21

Oooh, does this mean that we set our scores for 'Number of Times I have Been in the Round-Up' back to 0? Not that I think MamaG needs taking down a peg or two from her 13 hits...

Sorry to lose you, MP, hope the new job goes well.

Welcome, Aitch (who is, according to littlelapin, a Big Trollop, so should be some fun on the Round-up then).

DecorHate · 21/04/2010 16:20

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

TheProvincialLady · 21/04/2010 16:16

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

BitOfFun · 21/04/2010 16:16

Who is the best? There's only one way to find out...

FIIIIIIGHT

Sorry you're going, MP- you have a genius for comedy, and I'll miss your round-ups

Fimbo · 21/04/2010 16:16

Well done MP hope new job goes well and Aitch good on you for filling MP's shoes.

I would like to nominate Aitch for mumsnetter of the week (SC thread).

Flamesparrow · 21/04/2010 16:15

VinegarTits · 21/04/2010 16:15
