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.

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

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

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?

Congrats on your new job MP
Welcome aitch!

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.

cor - tis the end of an era

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

This is a bit like Dr Who.

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

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.

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.

Morningpaper - The very best of luck with your new job.

disloyal bitch

god bless er and all wh0 sail in her.

Congratulations MP! You made me larf.

Well done Aitch. Look forward to reading it.

Thanks for the laughs MP, and thanks for my mentions too

Thanks for the hoots MP, and good luck with the new job.

And here's to many more hoots (mon) from Aitch.

tsk. a real job? in this economic climate? she'll be taking that job away from a MAN who needs it, you know.

women should stay at home and look after the feral monsters children.

And that Aitch is no better than she should be.

tsk.

( really )

Aw thank you Justine and all

And thanks to Aitch for being the new Doctor Roundupper

My job is charity sector blah blah blah with pay that would make Xena suck her teeth in horror BUT STILL the smallest is starting school this autumn so I need ot get my teeth into something rather than procrastinating at home all day

I've had a great four years rounding up and you have all been lovely

Congrats MP, and thanks for all the smiles. I look forward to the roundup....

Oh God, does that mean I should get a job too?

Looking forward to Aitch's tenure...

Farewell then, Morning Paper
You made us sound much funnier
Than we really are.
And your pink basement will be
Forever in my mind.

Well done MorningPaper, I have enjoyed your updates and will no doubt enjoy Aitch's also.
