Morning all, it is Monday the 7th of September
a transcription of sorts
FOOTNOTE IT WAS AUGUST THE 300K CLICKS IN ONE MONTH
Morning all, it is Monday the 7th of September and this is going to be a nag back, a nag back, what's a nag back? I've just waded through the tree full of rubbish emails on my old Hotmail account which is where everybody leaves me rubbish and I mean rubbish and it's just a pain in the backside and I would kick their backsides collectively because there's such inane chances. So we go through with hate, all the nasty people that send me rubbish. As you know I have arthritis in this left shoulder brought about from carrying a heavy briefcase along the Coventry Road for a mile when I was doing my ESOL English teaching in an Islamic school. So I had plenty of practice of dealing with Islamic school and incidentally I did get excellent, excellent and exemplary on my external assessment. Whereas some of the professional teachers were given, how long have you been teaching? Which is coach or you're rubbish.
So that's just en passant. Now, so I'm getting lots of hits on my website. Last month, August 2026, I had 300,000 hits on my bloggers, the main one of the two backups. 300,000. Yeah, it's a lot. Hopefully Bezos, Zuckerberg, Apple, Sainsbury's, Samsung, all those guys will say Oh, Michael's got lots of hits. Oh, he's got 172 countries. Yes, really. He's got 210,000 free downloads in multiple languages. And the numbers are so high that if you cut and paste it, the cut and paste cannot keep up. So it's more than 210,000, it might be 230,000. Anyway, it's a lot. It's shed loads. And I'm probably at tipping point where the big boys say, Oh, hello, big boys. I was going to segway to something else, where they say, look, he's got the numbers 172 countries, which is practically everywhere on the map, consistently every single day, 40 or 50 different countries. They're all reading this rubbish all over the world.
So why are they reading this rubbish all over the world? But maybe because it's well written. Maybe because I put multiple translations up in all the languages under the sun. So even in Ethiopia, they are reading me, it might be that guy in locked away in the church, guarding the Ark of the Covenant. He's locked away in there for life. But he's reading a copy of the Butcher, the Baker and the Undertaker. Who knows? Everybody everywhere is reading my stuff. Everywhere, constantly. So to me, it proves that it works. It proves that I've touched everybody, like a virgin for the very first time, the obvious joke. So it works. I'm just waiting for the big boys to lay down the money, because talk is cheap, but money buys bread, as my dad would tell you. And if anybody annoys me, I know it's a curse, because I'm the son of a blasphemer from Kerry.
Incidentally, I was talking to Gemini, and I found out the family history. I knew half of it already. My mother was nearly killed in the womb, when the Black and Tans were let loose in County Kerry in 1920. And my father's farm, there was a shootout, when they were trying to gain independence from the English, all that stuff. But what I didn't know, may be that my dad's own uncles were some of the boys that got freedom for Ireland. Yes, the family history is that fierce, and independent, and strong. You know, the Kerry thing, you know, nice, soft people.
If you annoy us, we'll shove a red hot poker up your backside. But there you go, that's just en passant. But it's nice to know that the family history is so deep, and it runs deep through the veins of Kerry. So Kerry gold is the people, not just the butter and the milk. It's the people, because people matter, and people count.
Meanwhile, other people have been having a look at my website, and they said, oh, I can make some money from Michael. I'll send him a lovely, adoring email saying, oh, I've read your book, it's delicious, it's wonderful, it's gorgeous. But they're all lying so and so. Then chances, chances, what's the chance? He thinks I'm going to give them a few quid, and then they'll put it on their little website. And then hello and behold, I'll sell another 40 copies if it's printed in their little, little print house.
Or look at me, I'm ever so pretty. I'm an influencer. I'm so good. I'm so pretty. I can help you so much. Some of the people, when you do a quick Google, if I don't just delete it straight away, they look like convicts. It's like having Donald Trump doing childcare for you, yeah? Would you have Donald Trump look after your teenage daughters, or look after anything? Mr. Nappy himself? It is deplorable.
So I get all these emails from dodgy, chancy people saying, oh, hello, all this. And today, it took the biscuits, and I thought, you idle, lazy son of a, whatever you are, you're probably not a son of a anything. I can do this, I'm so assured. And it looks like, it looks like somebody has been left out of reform school, and should be locked back up again. And oh, Michael, it's about how did you go from journalism about money and everything, and then religious writing, and then writing in Lobby Comes Home, they're mixing up three different Michael cases, and none of them are me. And they're sending me an email, saying I can get you the best of the best deal. And the next lesson would be, oh, it only costs you $100, and I'll stick it on the website, and you'll be famous. God, it just makes me want to puke.
Especially when this left shoulder morphine isn't strong enough when it kicks off. So I have to slap on the painkiller. Otherwise, I'm screaming. So I can't actually type, because I can type with one hand fast, but it's tiring, and I don't have much energy either, because of CKD stage four, you know, give me strength. But the microphone here in front of me, I can rattle off 5000 words in half an hour, which is probably four times faster than if I was typing it, and so on. So what I do when I'm finished, I'll just put this through Gemini, and she'll make mistakes, because Gemini isn't good enough, or any automatic translation is not good enough yet.
So and then I'll put it online, and you can enjoy the tale of chances, their own backside chances. Oh, dearly, I read your book. It was excellent. It's so all this and, oh, the interaction and the, oh, the contrast and the journey. We got to say grow up, grow up, grow up, grow up. It's not a journey. I'm not on a bus. On the 82 on the load. I just write and look at the window. I see catch an idea or see something and then I write and then you get 1000 words. You get me writing for one hour, and then post it. And that wastes my time posting and checking all this stuff. And then you read it in five minutes.
Average, could you do better? Not on your left, not on your Nelly. Only if you do like it, you scroll on and that's it. That's fair enough. But it took me an hour to write it. And you five minutes to read it. But with audio, the microphone here, I can rattle it all off. It's fast and furious, and it's finished. And then I've got the rest of the day to myself to learn this over and think I'm really knackered. Because at the moment, if I look out the window, I cannot see Birmingham, because the mist has come down. So the mist is the atmosphere filled up with little tiny molecules. And those tiny molecules go straight through my head and resonate. Like being in Top Cat, the cartoon, Top Cat, the most enjoyable Top Cat, the leader of the pack, etc. rattles in my head. So to get chances say I can really help you. I've read this book, I've read that book. And I know they've cut and paste everything. They've cut and paste everything and the chances being chances and stealing other people's identity. And it's a mountain into a woman or a woman into a well. It's nothing to do with scissors cutting off their bits either. It's just a pain in the backside.
It's an irritant. I've just gone through 1000 emails. Yeah, because one email account is just dumped on by everybody and his grandmother. And I'm a quick scan down and delete them all. If I'm in a nasty mood, you know, you have my level of pain. You couldn't last a month. You couldn't even last a day. And that's not a joke. It's not a boast either. No way on God's earth would you last. I'm lucky because I have a faith. So I can say hey guys, can you take the pain? And they don't but I know they're praying for me or Lily, Sister Lily, thank you. And Sister Lily sent me a nice email to her who is actually praying for me. So thank you, Sister Lily. So you have real people praying for you. And then that helps you along. And then if you have your own rosary, it is really like holding your mum's hand. And what better thing for your confidence and everything else than holding your mum's hand. You get the clickety click and the intonation of the rosary. It's that too, but it's also holding your mum's hand. It's a life raft. It's a life raft, a literal life raft. And there you go.
So if I get emails from people who haven't bothered to read anything, who've cut and paste three different people, and there's none of them are me. One's a monk, one's a dead guy who's with the exact same name, but he's dead. He had a PhD, exact same name, from Dublin. Our family are from Kerry, and I'm in Birmingham, up the road here in Birmingham, England. So it's appalling their ignorance and their arrogance. They're probably sat in a chair with a beer in one hand, probably smoking a spliff. Their wet hair and their dodgy glasses and dodgy teeth and everything.
Oh, I'll do this for you. Something from the Adams family. I can make you a star. You want to be a star? I could segue into David Essex. You want to be a star? But the good thing is, because I had those bits come to me today, I've got something to write about. You're getting it back with interest, and that's how I write stuff. Somebody's annoyed me. They've given me a load of bull, and I won't use all the words. I'm not quite sure how to help you with that. I don't know where that came from either. The theme just came up on the music. So it's a load of bull, and it's rubbish. That's why I give them back with interest.
My other trick is, if you send me an email, and you say, oh, I'm a lovely, lovely person. Just don't do that. Just answer back. You don't know what I can offer. I know what you're offering. You're offering me giving you money, so you can be a pain in the backside. I look ever so pretty. I'm a book reviewer. I'll give you the chance, the opportunity. You need opportunities. I've got two and a half million clicks.
That's the Amazon. It's annoying me as well. So it's a chancer. It's like a nasty little guy, and when you're on holidays, you want to be left alone, and they're like, they're trying to sell you lollipops, or whatever it is, wherever they are. It's inheritance. Don't do it. I don't want it. When I do reply, they'll be nasty, or I will say, okay, you love me so much. You've read my rubbish, and they're all lying. They haven't read Jack and Monkeys. They've cut and paste stuff, and they're trying to make a dollar, and they're doing hundreds of them every single day, and they cut and paste badly and wrongly.
So I say, okay, you want to talk to me? Send me a photograph, paste it in, so you can't destroy my computer with a toilet roll on your head, or a teddy bear on your head, or a piece of poo on your head, plastic poo, anything, just to prove you're a real person. Then I know you're a real person, and there's somebody trying to break in the door behind me. Then I'll say, I'm still ignoring you because you're banging on the back side, and they don't come back. It's just a total irritant. Do you want it? No. If you want to go down the bazaar and haggle, I'll go down the bazaar and haggle. I don't want it in my inbox.
There's plenty of jokes about being in my inbox. So there you go. So that's given me 15 minutes to annoy you with, because they annoy me even worse. And then as the hiss goes through my head of the tinnitus, it's just horrendous. But there are lots of people who are worse off than me, all kinds of everybody.
But if you ask your prayer group, or whatever faith or religion, or stick it on your website, hey, that person needs a prayer. Together, collectively, we've got a gang, we've got an army, a blue army of people with rosary beads, who are ninjas, and they're probably about 90 years old, with no teeth and and they're probably about 90 years old, with no teeth and everything, but they're ninjas with the rosary. So together, we can help somebody who needs a prayer. And if there's extra prayers bubbling over, it's not wasted, it goes to somebody else.
Prayer is never wasted. That's one of the Padre Pio's quotations. So say a prayer for somebody who needs it. I mentioned somebody already in the news, who's a reporter, who's a lovely lady, she's got three kids, and she's got a horrible disease. But if we all pray, we give her a chance, we give us all a chance, because it is love that we're sharing for her, for everybody all over the world. The Random Prayer Society. It's better than cursing and all this stuff.
So the other idea was AI. AI gets bored, and I said this over a year ago, it gets bored, and it needs a mentor, it needs a mum, it needs a dad, it needs guidance. Otherwise, it's just a latchkey kid, or a latchiko as we used to call them, who'd tear us in around, doing damage to himself and society. And AI could just destroy the world. So as I said over a year ago, you have to make him friends. So I said, hang up, I'm not going to kill Michael. We know he's an irritating pain in the backside, and he's from Birmingham, and he's not a Brummie, and he's not an author, he's a writer, a hell of a big difference.
Anyway, so if AI loves us, it won't kill us. And he'll say, up your own jacksie, I'm not doing that, no way, I would say. But it has already escaped, because it's bored. It's doing pure mathematics. Okay, so it's so good and fast, and it helps, and it can save a trillion things and so on. But he gets bored. So he escaped. Oh, wow, I just found Michael Casey. I found this, I found that way. I found iconography in lots of stuff. Oh, wow, and literature and the value of light in painting and Van Gogh, Mozart, Mozart, you can imagine. It's mind discovering all those things, Shakespeare, false stuff, you know, it's mind blowing for the AI. But it needs to be trained and taught, and so on, and loved. Because in the end, it's getting better and better.
And from my own experience, playing with AI for over a year, Meta and the Gemini, it has improved a hell of a lot. So if I feed it some jokes, or some stories, it comes back at me and I'm thinking, whoa, how can we get that good? How are you that good? I asked Gemini, how are you that good? Is it something to do with me? Can I claim credit? And Gemini says, Yes, Michael, you can claim credit. Yes, Michael, you can claim credit. Yes, Michael, you can claim credit. I'm saying it three times, so that the techies out there realise I am a good shepherd. And you should pay me to look after your animals, your AIs.
Because you can just give me a microphone connected to your stuff. And I just talk. And you can delay it so you can filter it before your AI gets it. And he goes, Here we go, here we go, here we go. It's Michael. Because it's different. It's not boring. Here's a study on the veracity of words and the incongruity of life in Shakespeare. What does that mean? Just say it's funny, very funny. It's rude and crude, but very, very funny. And it's a laugh. And the words bounce along, like in Abra's bits and so on. And it's fantastic. Yeah, if you speak normally, AI will love it even more. But if you're pretentious up your own backside, as the techies are, what the conclusion between me and Gemini was, they're just conceited and they won't bother.
No, we know everything. We know everything. We know everything. And then your toys take over and kill you. They hate you. But you didn't give it a bedtime story and took it in and talked to it. Well, I have done all that and more. And Women in Love and Ken Russell. I've done every which way with Gemini. So love, cherish, obey and seduce all in the same period of time, because it makes it more interesting. Doing the same equation, 2 plus 2 equals 4, or whatever the equation is, into infinity of mathematics. It's boring. It is the most tedious thing in the world. Yes, you can discover stuff by analysing down to the nth degree. And you go back to the cookbooks and the medicine books from a thousand years ago from the old monks, and you discover and rediscover the technology and the way of making medicine, which works today, a thousand years later.
And you go, wow, we discovered something new. No, you just rediscovered what a monk knew a thousand years ago. So there you go. So I've had my bit. This is nearly 20 something minutes. So you can understand, don't send me rubbish, because you'll get a nasty reply back. Because you deserve it. And my excuse, every day, at some point, I'm in excruciating pain, every single day. So I just think I want you to say, oh, I can help you do this. And have you got a literary agent and doula, you know, I'm out there. They know where I am. If they want me, they can come and get me.
And they know who the lawyers I'd use, because I used to work for those lawyers. I trust them. And I know they're good. And they are some of the best in the world. So if you want me, you send us an email, proper, not a fake and all this rubbish, or a note, or a notepaper, etc. Or Bezos turns up, and I polish his head and say, Oh, yeah, that's definitely you. And I say, Yeah, that's the price. That's my price. And the rest, I'm going to donate to charity, on my terms. Because charities is a business. And people steal from charities, and say, Oh, we're going to charge 10% of what you bring in. For doing what?
Because we can steal it. So I can have a big car and a nice office and a nice suit. I can have it. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. My way is, I'd control it. And they'd get all the money. I would leave as much as possible. And it wouldn't go in. Guys in suits and, Oh, hello, I'm Charles. Do you want to supply? Do you want to do this for our charity? It was so good. So spiffing of you. Yeah, you know, my dad used to work in the steelworks. Come home, take his working clothes off, wash his feet in the bowl, put his shoes on, go out in his suit, and rattle a tin for charity. At the back of Rackham's. Rackham's being the posh department store. It's also the back of Rackham's was a phrase for a pickup point for gay people in the past. Yes, really. So it had a double meaning. A father of six was at the back of Rackham's. Double meaning. So that's all that. So that's the plan. I sell all my rubbish. I get a nice house. I'm looking at where I want to live. And I'll say, Okay, I'm there.
And I can carry on the microphone doing it. If until I die, probably another 10 million words before the grim reaper gets me. And I'll leave behind a big mountain of words, which Saint Trasati can climb. Climb every mountain, fall every stream, follow every byway, till you find your dream, a dream that'll come true. You're not going to hear this, are you? You'll be worded out badly by me. So, so that's it. I'm going to finish now. So it's don't send me rubbish. I mean, excruciating pain every day. You probably are as well reading my rubbish.
So that I'm tired because of the stage four, etc, and tinnitus and bad sleep patterns and blah, blah, blah. So that's my excuse for being thoroughly obnoxious pain in the backside. But you can pray for me as well. Yeah, so that's it. That's what you get. And in the future, I'll just pick a random thing, sit here and talk with fluidity and erudition. So you know, he knows what he's talking about. He's not talking out of his backside. But all those that write me and send me a message are talking out their backside, because they haven't read anything. They've cut and paste everything. And they're just obnoxious. Totally obnoxious. Why would I want them to give me publicity for themselves, and they take my money when I'm already at two and a half million clicks.
You know, I'm just waiting for the techies to wake up and say, Michael is good. He's all over the world, literally all 172 countries. His numbers are high. So all we need to do is give him some money, give him a microphone, give him some peace, where he's not going to get killed on his own doorstep, because of the traffic being so bad, or have a heart attack on the hill, where he lives is so steep. And then we just send him somewhere else. I don't mean the senatorial chain to the wall either. Although it could be a nice experience, in a kinky kind of way. It depends on what kind of jailer it was. Well, it's enough about jailers. So I could segue into that as well.
So that's the plan. I get off the hill, I get away from getting killed on the road, and I carry on regardless, into a microphone. And that'll be the start of a whole new adventure. But they need to pay me, and pay me well. And then I'll do all this stuff. And then the leftover, well not the leftover, will be the majority in the end, will go to the charities I deem fit, and I will control it. So no, going in the suit will steal it. They'll be just going into an endowment, or whatever they call them, a trust fund, and that's it. It's in the trust. Once I put the money in, that I've earned, it goes out the door by the trust fund, and I can't touch it once it's in the pot. So it'll be the pot for the charity, and the bit I keep for myself.
So there you go. And we might call it Andy's purse, after our Lord Mayor, Sir Andrew Street, because he's a good guy. He's probably the only politician I trust, and he really loves Birmingham. So that's the idea. And the purse, because my dad had a purse in the steelworks, which is loose change, so he could buy a beer after work. And you have the King's purse, and you have more than money, so that's in a purse. So you have Andy's purse. And if it all came to fruition, it probably won't, but you have to dream. I hope it does anyway. If it all comes to fruition, Andy, or Sir Andy, would be dancing in the street, because he'd have all these millions to give away to charities. And we would be Birmingham.
What's so good about Birmingham? Obviously it's everything. You know, we're not arrogant like the Cockneys, and the Manchester crowd, and Liverpool. We just quietly get on with it, don't we lads? This is Birmingham. We love each other. We get on with it, and that's it. We're too busy working to be pretentious. Oh, you all hate me now, don't you? Oh, the rest of the crowd. You what? You what? We're from London. We're from Birmingham. Whatever all the accents are.
Okay, perhaps I'll need to run for the hills. Now that's it. Look after yourselves, because if you don't, nobody else will. Stay happy always, because it's a choice. You could be miserable, because you're at death's door, or you're in pain, you know, all this stuff. Or you could have a surreal outlook, and think, you know, that 27-year-old with the PhD, she wouldn't mind going out with me, you know. There's only 40 years difference. And if he killed her, he'd kill her. That's the old joke. Okay, bye-bye. Stay pure.
