Happy Birthday, Sis! Forty fucking years old! Can’t believe we’re celebrating this milestone without you still knocking around, but celebrate it we will. Pretty sure it’ll be a tad different than if you’d have been here. It’ll be Mum, Dad, Leanne and I, joined by your old bezzy mate, Corey, and also the would be bezzy mate you so tragically never got to meet, Lyla. Nice meal, few sherbets, maybe

Forgive The Beatles Sgt. Pepper reference, it came out of nowhere but just felt appropriate, so given the “occasion”, I’m sticking with it as this blogs title. To be honest, I can’t really believe it’s been 5 years to the day since we all lost this amazing person I am so proud to be able to call my Sister. I guess it’s been pretty much a whirlwind since that snowy London day back in 2013. My

So here we are then. It’s been a while, I know. There are reasons for that I guess, and maybe we’ll come on to them at some point in this post, but the time just feels right to be honest. I’m wrestling with thoughts on whether or not I should apologise for such a delay in posting something on here for such a long time. I guess (this is probably the first reason for the delay coming up here)

It’s a big day today for me today. After four and a bit years, and to my own disbelief, my lad, Harrison, started school this morning. Yeah that’s right, despite my previous inability to keep one of those supermarket basil plants alive for more than three days, my son stepped out of the house this morning suited and booted and ready to begin his journey through the world of assemblies, wedgies

It's been a while since we've posted on here, and with a lot of Lisa/The C Word related milestones recently, the time seems right, so here we go. Can you really believe that a year has passed since the nation got a full dosage of Lisa's bloody brilliance in BBC1s The C Word? Thought not. We'd all hoped for a good response to the Drama, but never knew it would be so well received. The blog

You know those Timehop things you get on your Facebook feed? Well, today of all days, I really hope I don’t get one. Today, as you all know, is March 11. Or to put it another way, today is three years since we said goodbye to our favourite top bird, the one and only O.G. AlrightTitter herself. We miss you Lisa. Anyway, I’m sure I’ve narrated the story of how Lisa asked me personally to take on

You may be wondering why i'm maybe about to talk about a classic 80's Eddie Murphy movie. But, as brilliant as that movie is, and as much as Lisa and I used to love watching it in our youth, I'm onto something much, much bigger and better than that. Recently, Lisa has made it known that she's still looking down and spreading her awesomeness. Those of us closest to her already knew that of course,

From Lisa's friend Antonia.--- I recently started working my way through every episode of The Sopranos ever made. Having never watched it before, I couldn’t believe how fast the character of Tony Soprano took up residence in my head. Even my thoughts started talking in a New Jersey accent as the voice of Tony narrated everything. It said “fancul” a lot. And my favorite: “I wipe my ass with your

Wow. I mean, seriously, wow. The last couple of weeks have been, well let's say emotional. Reaction to "The C-Word" has been bigger and better than any of us could have imagined. I won't spoil the stats just yet, but I can tell you that the traffic here on the 'tit has been massive, and there's no way to thank you lot for the wonderful comments you've left about our girl. As for the critical

With just six hours to go before “The C-Word” finally hits our screens and our favourite lady becomes an international superstar, it’s manic here. I’ve been feebly trying to keep up with the firestorm of tweets and newspaper articles that have been shouting about Lisa’s (and of course Sheridan’s) awesomeness, “The C-Word” is in the top 100 on Amazon.co.uk (I [ahem] assume you lot have already

I seem to start every post on this blog these days with a mumbling apology about how it’s been quiet but there’s a load of stuff coming. Thing is, as I’m sure you beautiful Alright Titters have noticed, loads of stuff is coming. On March 30, me and the effervescent @wardotron travelled down to London to watch a first screening of “The C-Word”, hanging with all Lisa’s friends and family, the

Alright Mac? Well you’ll notice that things have been quiet here in blogville of late, but hey today’s your birthday and I wasn’t going to let the day sneak by without giving you a shout and saying that, once again, you’re still right here in our thoughts and, in fact, it’s all about to kick off. First off, I ought to give your lovely chum Sarah Chong a shout – today she’s shaving off her locks

Well it's been reasonably quiet here on the Alright Tit homestead after all the "ooh eck” excitement of the big BBC news, as you may know, I've been on the hunt for guest blogs from El Mac's homies, and now there's not just one but two popped up. I’ll publish the next one in a couple of days, but for now, here’s some fine bloggery from Lisa’s kid bro. Enjoy… — A view from the inside Right then.

Ey up Mac. Well of course today is March 11, and that means it's been a year today since you left us, so I thought that, seeing has how you've lumbered me here with all this blog malarkey, I'd say hello and keep you posted on what's been going on. Before you ask, I've no idea how Derby County did last season, but for all of your homies back here, it's been quite a year. Life goes on, some of us

Well things have been quiet here at AT Towers, I admit. It’s coming up on a year since the old bird stepped out and left me, Tim Cook style, in charge, and it’s admittedly been a quiet six months since the last birthday posts. For me and for everyone who’s been part of the Alright Tit story, it’s been a time to reflect.And yet this wouldn’t be Lisa’s blog without her still managing to surprise us

And here we are Mac. This will be the last bit for today, but I’m sure that your homies aren’t done with you yet and there’ll be a few people who miss the boat. I’ve got a few bits and bobs to say myself, but first, over to this lovely lot… --- Happy birthday Lisa Long Straw. I remember the chat when we decided that despite the fact we had pulled the Short Straws health-wise, we were, indeed,

Well Mac, true to form you’re amazing us all again today. Here’s another load of big-ass love for you (not to be confused with big ass-love, but then hey, you’re the syntax savant here). On what would have been our wonderful friend Lisa's 34th birthday we are sad that she is not here to celebrate with us; but we are also so incredibly grateful for the birthdays that she had with us, for the

Happy birthday Mac. You’ll love what we’ve got for you today. You see, the other day I asked around all your chums, who all had something to say, all had a few words for you this morning. I have a few myself, but I’ll save them for later, because to be honest we’re going to have to break it down into a few posts today (show-off), and I shall save mine for the last bit. You see, unlike you, I

OK, so I've been slow on here. Even after the wonderful reaction to Antonia's magnificent post, even with guest blogs piling up, the hard-act-to-follow blogstipation still gets me. Not any more though... not with ace guest blogs like this from Lisa's former colleague Jim Clarkson.

First things first – it was my birthday yesterday. And I mention this not for attention or gifts (cheques can be addressed to 'CASH', P.O. Box....) but as a blatant excuse to post a pic of the ace card I got from Lisa last year. I missed her card this year. Just as Lisa's brother posted on Facebook last night, "Purchasing the new Jay-Z album without having my Sis to get excited

I got an email from Pete the other day. “Just wondered if you’d had any thoughts on a blog post. Thought it might be time to post one. What d’ya reckon?” And yes, yes it is. There’s just one tiny hitch, and it’s dripping with irony. I’ve told this story before, I know, but the last time I saw Lisa (the very last time in fact), we talked Alright Tit and how it she’d built herself up to

As you might have guessed, it's been a rough few weeks here. For me, it's been a bewildering and exhausting time of grief, joy, meeting new people and, above all, learning more and more about who my incredible friend was. Was? Excuse me, IS. Because I can't help but think I fibbed in my last post when I said Lisa is still here with us. The truth is, that's a massive understatement. The last few

Lisa's family and I have received so many messages, cards, letters, notes and tweets of condolence during the past two weeks. They have induced many tears, much laughter and sustained us in such a way that we can't adequately convey our gratitude and thanks. You are all wonderful, wonderful people. You'll all be pleased to hear the 'festivities' lived up to Lisa's request for an 'inappropriately

I've been batting some words around in my head for the last two days searching for poetic prose to do justice to my world, my rock, my best friend, my lover and my wife. Alas, there will never be an easy way in which to tell you all that Lisa passed away very peacefully on Monday, March 11th, 2013. In a way that only Lisa could pull off, she left us in exactly the way she had planned (a year

Well, as you may have gathered, it's been a crappy few weeks for Lisa, and while she recovers from the latest The Bullshit™ has to offer, she's asked me, Jonze, to fill you all in on what's been happening. And so, while stepping into her shoes is a bit scary (I look silly in Louboutins for a start), I'm not missing an opportunity to sneakily take over (well, borrow) the reins. Before I do that
