If you haven’t had enough already of my voice this year (4thought.tv), you may remember(?) a few weeks ago that I wrote about those nice people at Gaydio Radio wanting me to go on their ‘Desert Island Discs’ (Radio 4) type show… ‘The Mix Tape’. Well, I did and with one thing and another (I…
I’ve wanted to write this blog for a couple of days, and had resisted until it got the better of me. I’ve been really disgusted by the ‘many’ comments on the web, and in particular on social network sites like Facebook with regards to the death of the singer Whitney Houston. More so because, the…
Today, many people around the world will be celebrating Saint Valentine’s Day – however, many people won’t be too! With the existence of social media now, unlike when I was ‘younger’ and in love (well, I thought I was) I’ve not read so many anti-Valentine’s Day messages. I mean, lots of people just aren’t bothered.…
One of the greatest
Tonight, BBC’s Question Time comes live (well, pre-recorded) from Regent’s College, London. Regent’s College has a special place in my heart because, it’s the place I’m studying for a Master of (f)Arts Writing for Screen & Stage at it’s London School of Film, Media & Performance. LSFMP is just one of the seven schools at…
Kevin doesn’t realise that Homosexuality is an “ABOMINATION” to God..it is a Perversion….there can be no marriage except that between a man and a woman…sexual immorality means that he’s NOT a Christian…then again Romanist Popery is not Christian anyway its a False religion and NOT biblical Christianity. Kevin needs to REPENT then submit to God…he…
With Her Majesty the Queen celebrating 60-years on the throne today, The Guardian newspaper asks… What does being British mean to you? This question gave me ‘food for thought’. Personally, even though I was born in England (sunny Liverpool to be exact) I see myself as British and not English because it encompasses most of…
On Tuesday 7 February at 6.55pm on Channel 4, 4thought.tv asks me ‘Should gay couples be allowed to marry in places of worship?’ As a Catholic, I believe that marriage should be open to everybody and that religious discrimination towards gay couples is unjustifiable. The UK Coalition Government says same-sex civil partnerships can now take…
They say things happen in three’s? I wrote recently that I’ve been invited by The Lesbian & Gay Foundation in Manchester to speak about my experiences of being mixed-race and gay at its Being Me Event in February, and that I’ve also been asked to go on Gaydio radio’s Mix Tape (similar to Radio 4′s Desert…
I was minding my business earlier (as I do), when I had cause to walk past a Central London tube station. As I did, an old lady sat in a wheelchair just outside was asking people for money as they trotted on by. I said ‘sorry’ (meaning, I don’t carry cash anymore – who does?),…
I read this morning that, nearly half of all the UK’s ethnic minorities live in London and their vote in deciding the capital’s next Mayor will be crucial. This got me thinking… As a young (debatable) British Northerner whose mixed-race, gay and living in London, I started to think who am I going to vote…
This morning over breakfast, Alex commented that it doesn’t matter where you are, who you’re with and whatever you’re doing in the world (something like that)… everybody loves a Scouser! How true I thought, and what an observant husband. Even though I left Merseyside when I was 20-years old, Liverpool has not left me (cheesy,…
The lovely people at Gaydio radio, have only gone and invited me on to one of their programmes as a guest – ‘Mix Tape‘, similar to Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs! I’ve been asked to select 4 music tracks, with the presenter asking me the reason for my choices on air. I’ve picked my songs,…
Australia, Barbados, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, United Kingdom (naturally), United States and Vietnam. This has been a… there’s a big world out there, ‘View from the Bottom’. Bon Voyage, Max x. Live Healthy, Laugh Often & Love Yourself! Published…
It’s my aim from today to get fit in 90-days (12 weeks) by going to the gym no less than 5 times per week (which means about 60 visits), or an equivalent 1 hour of exercise… running, swimming etc! It means a lot of pain and will power from me over the next 3 months, with…
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poke me in the ribs and cackle, telling me… “You’re next”. They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals! 😮 This has been a… I do know how to laugh, ‘View from the Bottom’. Take care, Max x. Live Healthy, Laugh…
