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.

aw and yay
congrats on new job mp

morningpaper, I have really enjoyed reading your roundups to the point where I start snotty threads in chat if it hasn't reached my inbox by mid afternoon - they make my Fridays (yes I need a hobby)

They also allow me to read a bit of MN at work where the site is blocked

So you will be missed - lots.

However, I am looking forward to reading Aitch's roundups, I can't think of a better person to take over

and I thought this was about a member of parliament - and only clicked on to see whether I cared

aw that's sad

I always secretly thought that Aitch and MP were one and the same anyway

{pssst MP. Can I have all some of the fivers back which I kept sending you in the hope you might finally mention me in your round-up?)

Pah! 4 years of sucking up to MP in order to get mentioned in the roundup wasted!

I wonder if I have ever mentioned how intelligent, insightful and downright funny I have always found your TV thingumys to be Aitch. [arse kiss emoticon]

I'm sorry but you cannot convince me that she has done the round-up for 4 years?????? I don't believe it.

OH NO! Morningpaper bowing out? This is bad news indeed - she and gin have made Fridays worth getting up for.

My grande tristesse could only be leavened by someone of similar calibre stepping into her warm stilettos. Now where could we possibly find such a person? I know.. Aitch is very goo -

Oh. I see you've beaten me to it.

aw mp this is sad news indeed
(partly because you were always willing to believe i was funnier than i actually was )

happy to hear a worthy replacement is lined up well done MNHQ

Its not 4 yrs... I think I can remember her starting it

SOOO glad I got a mensh in her penultimate round-up (preens)

Thank goodness i made it just in time last week by finally getting a mention in the round up

aw - farewell.

Fare the well MP.

Can we assume the new round-up wont be sponsored by Annabel Karmel?

Oh phew! I thought MP as leaving mumsnet then.

Glad it's Aitch taking over shooting the rockets

For some reason I never ever get these - got my settings all set up for it and everything.

I've missed 4 years of MP glory.

MN Towers - can you solve this for me as we enter a new era?

Is it really 4 years since SYMNBN

well done, mp, for doing it for so long. And good luck with proper job.

well done to aitch, too, for taking over

well I've had it set to send me for the lat donkeys years and yet it never comes
I do read it occasionally

perhaps aitches will get through

Hurrah I can look forward to never being in talk roundups then

Well done Aitch, writing about crudity is a promotion from writing about crudites for BLWers IMHO

Thanks, mp, and good luck with earning an honest crust.

Well done, Aitch. Big shoes to step into. I do hope she cleans them first. Possibly with onebat's flicky tongue.
