Today marks another milestone in my life, and I was thinking what I have done over the last couple of years or so – I know, ‘not a lot’? I read my ‘Forced Out’ article which was published by Outnorthwest Magazine towards the end of last year, and it made me realise (again) just how…
There is talk especially in London with regards to Stop & Search by the Police being overhauled, one aspect being to improve relations between the Metropolitan Police – Britain’s biggest police force, and black people. Anything which improves the relationship between the police, and all the communities it serves is a good thing. However, this is not…
Last night when I got into bed, my wedding ring finger was swelling and this had never happened to this extent before. It was so uncomfortable that I took it off, and put it next to me whilst I slept. A first. Probably related, my dream that night was about the marriage of Alex and…
My friends at The Lesbian & Gay Foundation (LGF) in Manchester, are running this excellent event in February which I fully support and will be speaking at. If it interests you, please contact Darren whose details are below to reserve your place or for more information. Although Manchester based, The LGF provides more direct services and…
Last night, I was on my way to a meeting (not an important one mind you) when I had cause to enter a coffee shop and order a tall latte. This was after securely parking my ‘Barclays’ Cycle Hire bike, in the nearby bay. I queued behind a young white female, with blonde hair (very…
Oh the irony. I was going about my business today, when I saw a London Bus advertisement for Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5. I don’t watch television, just films really – so, won’t be tuning-in. I prefer ‘I’m NOT A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ Anyway, whilst socially-networking earlier (I used to have…
This morning, I had the pleasure (insert sarcasm here) of making Alex breakfast before work and I didn’t do a bad job of it actually – poached eggs on toast with ‘two’ cups of tea, we’d run-out of coffee fortunately! Anyway, after he got to work he sent me a text and some flowers to…
It may have come 18-years too late, but I for one am happy today that justice has been served for Stephen Lawrence and his family. Regardless of colour, we all should be proud that some of those responsible for the murder of Stephen have finally been held accountable for their horrid actions. However, we should not forget…
Well, the London 2012 Summer Olympics countdown has officially begun this ‘new year’. So, let the XXX Games commence and the medals come rolling home! This has been a… London 2012 Olympiad, ‘View from the Bottom’. Keep Calm and Run, Max x. Live Healthy, Laugh Often & Love Yourself! Published by My Mum. Copyright © Kevin Maxwell…
I’m not one for making a New Year’s resolution, as 12-months is a long time to wait to make your life better – if indeed it needs to be! However, with today the start of a new cycle of 365-days I thought I’d share with you how I strive to now live My Life by…
Well, as another year here in the UK draws to a close – I’d like to wish you a VERY Happy New Year, wherever you are, whatever you are doing and whoever you are with. In 2012, Live Healthy, Laugh Often & Love Yourself! This has been a… New Year, New Start, ‘View from the…
I’m wondering is it just me, or is Cycling in the Dark… with NO lights madness (as in extremely foolish behaviour)? It’s been playing on my mind for a while, especially when I was nearly run-over a-week-or-so-ago in London Town by a cyclist with no bike lights. And yes you guessed it… because, I couldn’t…
I knew I had friends in high places! I was minding my own business this morning, when I received an email from a Nigerian King. Apparently, I have some money to collect. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, but hopefully I’ll receive this cash in time for the New Year as…
On this the 25th December 2011, I’m wishing you a ‘Merry Christmas‘ wherever you are, whatever you are doing and whoever you are with. This has been a… festive ‘View from the Bottom’, Max x.

Christmas is in 7-days!
As I go about my private business in London Town which isn’t much these days, I can’t help but note how many office Christmas parties are taking place. I mean, I’ve just walked past Santa Claus holding hands with a Smurf and earlier saw an elf with a bear on a scooter – very 2011!…
