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

[JustineMumsnet]

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.

RIp morningpaper, enjoy your benefits in kind {grin}

the king is dead, long live the king

or summat

thanks MP,for 4 years of hilarity and madness.. and woooo for aitch!

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

Will there be a leaving party? With alcohol?

She is going to claim benefits????

This will kick orf

oooh i forsee a harry hill moment coming up...

for mp (am always ridonkulously proud when i make the round up)

but for aitch, im sure you will be fab!!!

Cornsilk - FIIIIIIIIGHT!

Good luck to you both for the future, really enjoy reading the round-up even though never been on a thread mentioned on it, never mind name checked!

for MP

for Aitch

FOUR YEARS?!?! Has the roundup seriously been going that long???

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).

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

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?

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).
