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.

She is going to claim benefits????

This will kick orf

Will there be a leaving party? With alcohol?

YesYouMust · 21/04/2010 16:12

Well i've never been in one by MP so hopefully Aitches era is the one for me!

Booboobedoo · 21/04/2010 16:11

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?

GetOrfMoiLand · 21/04/2010 16:09

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.

Well I like Morning paper and I like Aitch. But who is the best?

MmeLindt · 21/04/2010 16:09

I was all set to dig out my store of then read that I also will need some too.

Congratulations on the new job, MP. Make sure you have enough time for MNetting.

Looking forward to the first Aitch Round-up.

OhFuck · 21/04/2010 16:08

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

bibbitybobbityhat · 21/04/2010 16:08

Oh good on you both.

You've done a grand job MP

Ah, Aitchy my dear.
Have I told you lately how I love you?

notwavingjustironing · 21/04/2010 16:07

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.

SethStarkaddersMum · 21/04/2010 16:06

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 )

BecauseImWorthIt · 21/04/2010 16:06

Oh no. Yay!

Just about sums it up.

DownyEmerald · 21/04/2010 16:06

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"

Lulumaam · 21/04/2010 16:05

the king is dead, long live the king

or summat
