Morning all 220220 Saturday wordpress
Morning all 220220 Saturday
this is one of my chats, you only get stories in the books
so you don’t feel short changed
stories in books, chats stay here
ok.
Now me an my Tinnitus my Roman slave that sleeps with me have stumbled
over Twitter so I’ve sent a bit of advice to our dear leader, Kim, sorry I mean Trump
If you stumble over michaelgcasey2 on twitter then that’s me
I haven’t mastered Twitter on the phone, nor have I mastered Tinnitus my Roman slave
So forgive mistakes on Twitter if you bother to stumble over there
I may just delete the Twitter, if I can work out how to do it on the phone
I would ask Tinnitus but he/she/it just hisses at me, maybe a Payrise needed?
Or just a good flogging, either way HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Tinnitus HiSSSSSSSS
I’m pleased I hit 11 Translations being read in a day yesterday, so you
all are suckers for The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker
10 languages groups reading that and 300 and Not Out in Arabic also being read
making 10 languages plus Arabic again for 300 and Not OUT
My daughter’s boyfriend has Arabic as his mother tongue by the way.
So we are a very international Family.
I spotted UAE and Saudi reading recently, as well as other Arab nations, not forgetting
Persian downloads too.
So I hope I don’t “corrupt” you too much.
My story is about a family, the street of shops. And at the end I reveal the Name
of the Steet. That’s why I know it’ll work worldwide, as it is already doing.
I just need the Tsunami to arrive and then The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker
will reach the Mass audience levels, to match the already world wide coverage
And I repeat 50% of any profits will go to pain relief, rising to 90% of any profits
that I the Writer get. Once somebody opens that door, or Window as Ang from
Pinsent Masons Print room fame once said to me.
So that’s my dream. And why Pain relief? Well If you’ve followed my writing for a
while you’ll have noticed me boring you about chronic pain.
So obviously I have more experience than James Bond, about pain
So I’ll give back.
At the moment all I can do is carry on writing
But with your help, we can reach for the sky, which was the title of a book
about Douglas Badder, the fighter pilot and amputee in WWII.
Look what he did in his life, so very brave.
Obviously all I do is sit and talk to you all, from the comfort of my chair
But my words do reach out everywhere, to 80 Countries and many many languages
So whomever you are, or hey you over there standing somewhere hot, or cold
Just tell 10 friends, or just your mum if you have no friends
And together we can do something about PAIN
Ok, enough of the High Horse stuff, get off your horse and drink your milk,
as the Joke about John Wayne used to be.
That’s it you may get a story later. The wife will reappear after 6 weeks away
tomorrow, so we have to tidy up, ready for a visitation, as the McNally family
used to say
I've updated this today 21 Feb 2020
I'm Michael Casey from Birmingham England, the fat silver haired writer
in shades.
Beware of Others with the EXACT SAME NAME, they are not me, and would
not want to be me ...
I've done loads of writing, about 1,570,000 Words worth over 33 years
now
But before I started I LISTENED to BBC Radio 4 for 20 years, from the
age of 10 or younger
Frank Brown our lodger, went back to County Tyrone and he gifted us his
Bush Radio
He'd be nearly 100 now if he is still alive, so say a prayer for him
50 years in love with words, and I still look so dashing.
I've also had an interest in Politics for 50 years
with my dad heckling the tv and Politicians
I almost immediately had a hit, a play called Shoplife was accepted but
not finally
produced by a Theatre
The Kenneth More Theatre, so thank them for sparing you all. This was
back in 1989
I also had other high praise, so I ignore all the nasty negative people
who use too much alliteration
I also ignore those who just cannot write, making money does not mean
you can tell a story
Pick your own famous writer, who you avoid
Today's world has much print, but a page will not refuse ink, as my dad
used to say
I tend to write Comedy as I'd rather make you laugh than cry
I must have written over 2000 short pieces of writing, yes 2000
If you include "chats" 2600 samples, no not smelling like urine, writing
samples
My first book ,a full length comedy/drama is The Butcher The Baker and
The Undertaker
You can read translations of it here on this site
Up to 10 different languages/translations have been read on the same
day
via this site, here on Wordpress
so you have no excuse, find your own language
and read
The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker
This proves to me that the humour does travel
I have readers in over 80 countries now
From Nepal to American Samoa and all places North South East and West
Or its just a hit man on the run, or bored Navy Seals
or whatever Unknown Region Means
It may also mean that only non English Speakers like my stuff
I did get 21,000 readers in 3 weeks for the Polish version of In Search
of an Indian Princess
which is basically the final 3 chapters of The Butcher The Baker and The
Undertaker
I also had a low budget film producer take a look at it
Book Publishers have said I've made the commissioning editor laugh
Radio People say they like my style
So close but no cigar is the story of my life, so all you power people,
do something useful
As for my life, I was a computer operator for a market research company
into alcohol sales
I also was a concierge and 10 other roles at Crowne Plaza NEC Birmingham
I even hid a copy of my comic novel "BBU" in the Law Library at Pinsent
Masons, well just for a day
and I was an Esol English teacher in an Islamic school, I knew I could
teach
beside I've had a Shanghai connection for 20 years now, including 2
bilingual daughters
and being a haus frau a long time too, I'm a great dad as I've had more
hands on practice.
I can always make somebody talk or laugh, I am an 18 stone George
Clooney look alike
Laugh or Die so to speak
I believe my short stories could be used to teach English, just package
them up correctly or App them
What else, I was brawn and brains, I used to be as strong as an Ox, now I
just smell like one
We have a cat called Totoro, my daughters wanted a pet I said they could
have a dog if I died , or a cat if I had a heart attack. A few weeks
after that in Jan 2015 I had an Unplanned Quadruple Heart Bypass , it
was supposed to be a triple but it ended up a Quadruple, 33% extra free
so to speak.
I also have arthritis and other hindrances that hobble my body and give
me pain galore.
But my mind is free, though having read my stories you may wish I didn't
bother
But I'll ignore you, and carry on regardless. I do get heckled by my own
Tinnitus these past
18 months, so I have music on all night long to drown it out
That's the end of the tidy version of my life, if you want more come and
buy me a Stella Artois and all will be revealed. Though 12 pints a year
is my ration.

ok, that's your lot, this reads serious, but generally I refuse to be
serious,
though I do heckle the news for 50 years now
TTFN
