Hello everyone. So. Bad news. After a long period of uncharacteristic soul-searching, I’ve reached the painful decision to stand down as hecklerspray editor as of Friday.
It hasn’t been an easy choice to make – I’ve been here for five years, and this has been my entire life for most of that time – but the sad truth is that other my commitments have left me no time to give the site the attention that it deserves. So, for the sake of hecklerspray and its readers, I’ve decided to step aside and let someone else take the reigns instead. It’s bittersweet, but it’s probably for the best.
But, hey, Monday mornings are no time to be this maudlin. Come Friday afternoon, I’ll inevitably be crying and drunk and full of regret somewhere. But in the meantime, it’s business as usual. I only hope that someone famous does something really stupid between now and then to give me the send-off I deserve.

Aww. We’ll miss you.
Please don’t go. You’re at least the third funniest writer on here, and it won’t be the same without you…
Very sorry to see you go, I like all the regulars round here but you were the only one I had a big man-crush on. Looks like I’m heading towards a long period of sorrowful reflection, so thanks for that.
Best of luck in your future endeavours, keep us posted about any upcoming projects.
It’s a shame you are leaving Stu, you will be very missed. I’m sure the mighty Hecklerspray will somehow soldier on and continue to grow and flourish gaining strength and power so vast that it almost certainly won’t send you into a deep depression that has you moving back in with your parents where you spend under your bed writing threats to it’s new editor on bits of old KFC napkins or anything.
No you’ll be just fine. Really….ummm…yeah…..
Does this have anything to do with the fact you’ve turned 30? Mid-life crisis perhaps?
is it really because you’re so busy? it isn’t because axl rose came over to england recently and decided to take over your blog and continue to call it hecklerspray but with just him and the bucket headed chap doing all the writing? well that’s something at least.
the only question now is ,”will hecklerspray continue to be the uniquely hilarious website it has been for the last five years?” and the answer is, we just don’t know….. really sad to see you go heritage, you’re bloody brilliant.
Boo! You b@stard!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1I can,t not even begin to belief WFT is going on here today?How can Stuart Heritage who in the case you didn,t know it is the best man in the world,s internet pages is how can he be leaving??????????/
If a Jedward left the band it would be ricidulos and it is the same if Stuart Heritage became a Jedward?
Stuart Heritage don,t go and if you do (go) we will follow you to the back of the earth and father if you go therebut we want you to stay in here and make us laugh with your words and your pictures and your celbrities and your haircuts so pzl do not never take those things a way from us ever (your words and your pictures and your celbrities and your haircuts)
Oh StuFan#1, it’s you I’ll miss most of all.
Thanks everyone. It was you lot who made this such a tough choice in the first place. But I shan’t go into that yet because it’ll tread on the toes of the epic, weepy 5,000 send-off post I’ve got planned for Friday night.
@arjedgerton – you are alarmingly astute.
Where is the love
You said was ours all ours
Till come home the cows
Was it just cigar’s (smoke)
Where is the love
Oh, how we wish we never met you
I guess it must have been our fate
To fall in love with someone as unreliable as the Hoff
All we can do is love Mof
That’s all we can do, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
I FORBID IT.
As do I, Robyn.
On another note – how the heck did I miss this post on Monday?? Man, I’m so bummed out right now.
Sad face. Since your posts drew me to Hecklerspray in the first place, you will be very sorely missed. Good luck and all that.
