Having read earlier about the Prime Minister’s speech on immigration, it got me thinking as to what Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats stand for? I’m not political (really!) and by this I mean ‘out on the streets’ campaigning for a particular party, but I do take an interest in politics and the destination of…

… you forget things! In the early hours of today, I was tidying up the flat (I don’t know why at such a time) when I glanced at my birthday cards which are still up and noticed that I hadn’t received one from the mother-in-law. I thought to myself, ‘it’s not like her to forget…
This coming weekend 9th & 10th April, The London Comedy Writers’ Festival 2011 is in town at the London School of Film, Media & Performance, Regent’s College in Regent’s Park.

Well, now that my ‘birth’ day has come to an end, I plan to do the following 3 things today: 1. get up 2. survive 3. go back to bed A sincere ‘thank you‘ to all my friends and family, who wished me well. Looking to the year ahead, I will strive to continue being…
… Well, that’s what Facebook tells me anyway – so it must be true! Happy Birthday to me then. I’m another year older, and ‘maybe’ wiser! All offers of birthday cake(s), kindly accepted and appreciated, thanks. Right, I’m off to the pub then! Ciao, Max x My ‘View from the Bottom’ Live Healthy, Laugh Often,…
Tomorrow, I turn another year older – although, I’m not sure another year wiser! Having just found a ‘further’ grey hair on my head (as opposed to anywhere else on my body), I soon may end up needing more of the ‘precious’ stuff, than I like to think! Enjoy the photo, Max. ‘View from the…
Friday gone, I had the opportunity to attend the world premiere of Unhappy Birthday at the British Film Institute’s London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (LLGFF). Prior to the screening, I took part in an open conversation with the co-directors, on how they got their debut feature film from A to B. What’s all the…
I noticed today, that yesterday marked the beginning of the last week of the Greenland at the National Theatre, London. I went to see it last month with friends, and afterwards not one of them had a good thing to say about it! What’s all the fuss NOT about? Greenland is billed as a new…
The news over the past few days about the East End Gay Pride (EEGP) which was scheduled to take place in London on 2 April has caused me some unease. There had been calls for it to be cancelled by LGBT organisations, support for it by other LGBT organisations and individuals, support then being withdrawn,…
Friday night, Alex and I went to see ‘Confessions’, a Japanese drama at the cinema. Although there was a lot of death, it was actually a pretty good film. Anyway, after our wild night out, when we got home I went straight to bed as I was tired. I woke yesterday morning my eyes bleary,…
Last weekend Alex and I went to see Black Swan at the cinema. Initially, I wasn’t too keen on wanting to see a film about ballet on the big screen. However, what a fool I would have been if I hadn’t gone! What’s all the fuss about? Black Swan is a psychological drama starring Natalie…
It wouldn’t be right if my first blog of the year wasn’t about Uncle Billy, who amazingly turns 98 this year! A lot has happened with Uncle B since my last post about him, but it’s all been good. I suppose I should start with the most recent events in his life and work backwards,…

Despite the wet weather in London, UK Black Pride held its fifth annual event in Regent’s Park last Saturday. The day after, I was lying in bed catching up on the news online when I saw a PinkNews.co.uk article on the festival. The comments from some readers towards the black and Asian community caught my…
Today, marks the 30th anniversary of the death of John Lennon, a fellow Scouser. It was thirty-nine years ago in 1971, that John said the following… “Imagine all the people – Living life in PEACE – You may say I’m a dreamer – But I’m not the only one – I hope someday you’ll join…
