As I flagged yesterday I’ll write something about Pop Stars today, I’ve even changed my usual Font. I did think of one thing and then another, then I had a splat idea. Its the Jackson Pollock school of writing after all, as we lie in our beds the Angel of Death approaches, and the Dove of Peace is just a tiny tiny mustard seed in comparison. I am talking of the looming nuclear war in North Korea.

Read these two links before I resume, with a fresh coffee in my hand.

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/north-korea-threatens-to-sink-japan-reduce-us-to-ashes-and-darkness/ar-AArUtCD?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=mailsignout

The 1st is a worrying news item,  the 2nd is K Pop.

I’m listening to REM as they sing “Everybody Hurts” I’ve chosen their Automatic for the People album as the backdrop while I talk to you all. Sorry Justin and your Beavers I’m not going to mock you, you do a good enough job on your own. And Snoop you walk your own dog, Eminem go back to school, but Justin dear Justin, I taught you everything you know, now its time to use your 20/20 Vision.

Instead I want to talk about Music, if it be the food of love play on. I wish I could lip sinc the entire film Moulin Rouge as I love it so much. My favorite scene is where the black guy punches the count and save Nicole Kidman. But I digress as ever, but I have such great legs so I should be in a dress. So today’s idea is K Pop for Peace.

23 million people in North Korea are being led by somebody who could be a fat rapper, who has spent everybody’s 50cents on Nuclear Bling, who could poison his own country’s water supply when the mountain where the testing is done collapses around him. In the South everybody has everything, they even have FOOD. So what are we to do to avoid the 1st Strike from USA, or a very close 2nd strike if the Panzi, which is a Chinese word for Fat or Pig, tries to get in first. The Logic Of Madness, this is actually a simple concept if you put yourself in the shoes of the madman. This is where the madman kills everything he loves, such as his own family, and then everybody just cannot understand why. Sadly we see such cases in the newspaper from time to time.

The Dear Leader loves nobody, he is corrupt and just loves his own position. So why will he listen to say a fat guy with silver hair in shades from Birmingham? He has not looked in the mirror and changed, he has not had a road to Damascus experience, he has no Soul. He hacked our NHS, it was only saved by a young guy who is now in Jail in USA for something, its due in court soon. A comedy about North Korea, not very funny in the artistic sense resulted in Sony being hacked. People forget Koreans are very clever, even if just in the Military sense in the North.

So what are we to do?

Pack up all your troubles in your all kit bag and sing, yes sing. All you Rappers and hard men out there, why not sing for Peace. I dare you to have a Dream, like King and yes like Abba. Pop stars always say in answer to what is their one dream, world peace, that was until one DJ punched the pop star, be realistic the interviewer shouted.

So Snoop follow your dog’s lead, 50 Cents lend us a penny, no not for a pee, just show us your sparkle, and all the rest of you out there in Hard Man Wrapper Land. Your time has come. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And the answer is sing Take me Home Country Roads and all the John Denver hits. Yes, all you hard rappers out there, Sing Country. And may Buddy Rich rock and roll in his grave. As for all you gyrating girl singers there is room for you too, as I sit here talking to you Love Hurts plays again, so you Ladies can sing that and shake as only you can shake, while I finish my Lemonade.

Then here’s the clever bit track back from Sony to North Korea and let them hear the music. Let them have a Soul, let them dance. All of North Korea’s public address system is taken over by music. First the rappers singing country, they will be the storm troopers of love. Then Let the music sing let the music take over. Surround North Korea with K POP the only language they understand. From South Korea, from Japan and from China too, not forgetting a few Russians.

Constant K pop, the music of fun and laughter and very pretty girls, not forgetting Gangham Style. Broadcast at them on every radio frequency, on every IP address, take over the North Korean nuclear program with K Pop Music, and not forgetting Abba. The Dear Leader presses a button and all he gets is every tv and computer coming to life with K Pop, and then the population have something to really cry about.

Cry with happiness because K-Pop has saved them from the starvation of the spirit. This should be a cue for a Rapper to sing something good, but are any of you good enough? I’ll have a sip of lemonade while you reach for your dictionary. But I’m sure King would know what to say. Or do we just ask the King, Elvis to say a word now. Yes maybe Mr Gangham Style himself should start singing in the Ghetto. North Korea needs to leave  the Ghetto and enter the sunshine. Sing Rappers sing, Take me Home Country Roads, in Korean.

Posturing and Posing and Fiddling Their Expenses ©

By Michael Casey

I was just watching the Press Preview on Sky, Maguire and Pierce always make me laugh, the Punch and Judy of press reviewers. I thought because of today’s events I just had to give my two penny worth. I was amazed that people thought that Sturgeon was given praise for her Political ambush, I thought it was an obvious thing to happen.

I have been a serious news junkie for 50 years now, since I was a child watching Sir Robin Day on tv. As I thought about what to call today’s piece I said to myself they always posture and pose and then fiddle their expenses, so that’s where tonight’s title came from.

I can remember Chas Baird say “Devolution or Revolution” in a Folk club 40 years ago. I can also remember him switching off the PA when a Piper came to play, it certainly cleared the wax from my ears, and yes it was Great too. We were watching Andrew Rieux on tv  tonight as well, then there was a girl in an evening dress play the pipes. It was not Nicola Sturgeon, but the effect was the same, loud and dramatic and just as strong willed.

I admire her strong willed people, but reality has to click in too. If the oil price has been cut in half, where is the money going to come from if the milk cow, England and the rest of the UK no longer pays the piper, Nicola or whoever it is.

No doubt many Scots will hate me, just as Trump would if I ask him to prove who let the dog out, or who’s been tapping him, he’d no doubt swing at me, but not with a golf club. Though he is ½ Scots himself, and it is WRONG to destroy his golf courses by carving them up as a protest.

One figure which really saddened me there was a recent Election I think in California and guess what only 11% bothered to vote, yes only 11%. So if you cannot be bothered to go out and vote then you really do get the Government you Deserve.  So Go Out and Vote.

Polling Stations should be readily accessible, not like an Easter Egg hunt, follow the path till it ends then spin around till when you get dizzy and it’s to the left of the pool of sick where other voters pukes due to all the dizziness. Messing with boundaries and making it hard for people to get to vote because polling places close for 3 hours for a siesta, and then finish early so that the cleaners can clean ready for nude aerobics in the morning is no excuse. Democracy should be seen to be done and not hide the opposite party’s faults, otherwise the public, The we the people are being mooned at by the Establishment.

Yes Politics is very entertaining and unbelievable, especially USA politics if you watch it on Sky, Fox, CNN or BBC. Though as an impartial observer I think it’s sad that Albanian politicians have been barred from Electioneering across the EU, as it might incite trouble amongst the street cleaning workforce EU wide. Or maybe my mixed metaphors are too mixed up for comprehension. Then me and Sturgeon will have confused all the Press tonight.

In the end we need Honesty in Politics, you do things to Help people, and you should be honest enough to say I got it wrong, and can we start all over instead of clinging to the deck of the Titanic. Yes very naïve, but perhaps we should remember what Christ said “Render what is Caesar’s to Caesar, and what is God’s to God.” But then we should also remember what happened to Caesar on the Ides of March, which is tomorrow.

latest photo of your writer  17th June 2020

my small daughter said in passing "she knew herself" which got me thinking
so that'l be what I wrote about next. Knowing Yourself, I used to do lots of shifts with downtime in midweek, so no place to go, just into my own mind etc
so that's what you'll be getting. Or do you want Chips with Everything, or an Albatross with Wafers ?   Any clever people get the 2 references?

Dear Donald

Posted bymichaelgcasey18/06/2020Posted inUncategorizedEditDear Donald

Dear Donald,

Finland is a separate country, it is not part of Russia

We know you failed Geography, I have your school reports

Thanks to your niece who provided them

If you were employing a gardener you would check him out

If he had a series of Non Disclosure Agreements

Say with 17 women

If he lost $3,000,000,000 and was NOT personally liable

If he hid his taxes, or lack of them

If he asked could we nuke a hurricane

If he changed his political affiliations

If he changed his wife, twice

If he refused to show his medical records,

gardening is so physical after all

If he abused everybody he did not agree with

Good men becoming, sad losers

If he tried to block news or even books about him

If he had stand up shouting matches with everybody

If he had to embrace his own body to hold in his temper

If he even used a Sharpie to deface official weather forecasts

and weather is so important to a gardener

If he claimed he had a Bible, but never actually read it

If he just liked photo opportunities

But did no actual work

If this, if that, and a lot of the other

What would the picture in the selfie be

And would you give the gardener a job

A gardener is in your home, the heart of your family

So would you like a person like this around

Or would you say, no way

Look in the Mirror and Change says the song

But you never have Donald

Chance the gardener in Being There the film

would make a better President

As for you, resign now, and take Barron golfing

maybe even go to Bible school

For you are schooled in nothing

Except, spite and might

So at least add one good footnote to History

Trump resigned and let a few good men take over

Then in November, Better Men can be voted in

By the People for the People

Learn Humility today, before you end

AS A LOSER

p.s. in the Bible there is a passage about Love, for if you don't have Love, you will have achieved absolutely NOTHING, I can remember Hart our head boy reading it in the assembly

over 45 years ago

A hunting I will go + update

A hunting I will go


Well I got up and then suddenly from out of nowhere it appeared, which actually is the start to a story from over 50 years ago. It might even be the Brook Bond Junior Free Handwriting 1969 story, where I got my first certificate.

See I knew you'd be impressed

Now the pain monster has returned today, it's like an unwanted bastard that leeches off you, like in the Originals if you've seen the vampire show

I have to restart my computer for Windows 10  2004 update now

so I shall  return

the other thing is I cannot find my Paris story, so you have been spared

so see you in 2004 so to speak

Totoro our cat has just sneaked in so I need to feed her

A pet is like a child, it need love and attention

don't have either if you could not be bothered

update

well windows 10 2004 is no on my computer

am tidying up as we speak

the pain monster has gone with the wind, or is it thunder

have put flower pots from the girls dead plant at front of house

they forget plants need water

so the pots will be filled and loved by me

then we shall have a splash of colour in pots

as well as my man tended flower beds

my mother did have green fingers up to her elbows

I just have earthy nails

so I'll finish for today

Star Trek Discover season 3 is in the works

so watch that, and see if you agree Captain Pike looks like Mitt Romney

and remember to watch out for Clingons on the starboard bow

On the Phone to Happy Memories

On the Phone to Happy Memories ©

By

Michael Casey

When you are on the phone you are in another world, it’s fun and you are connected, with your mum watching the second hand of the clock, because she cannot afford the phone bill. This was years ago, before mobile phones and plans and data. Or when I first visited Shanghai maybe 20 years ago ago and I rung my sister in England to wish her Happy Birthday and she was still in bed, the time difference is 7 or 8 hours depending on Season, so the cost was massive. Now phone calls are cheaper and the world is united via the phone, you can even transfer money via your phone.

So that’s one phone call and I can remember being told I could have an extra 60 seconds on the phone to Birmingham from Shanghai, now of course everybody has Apps. You have to run when the phone rings, you must answer it, nobody had answer machines. Always answer the phone, though I can remember my boss Mike Whale saying don’t answer the phone, it was for dial in on the computer, was that 40 years ago? Then at home you get an answer machine, but you can’t get it to work. So, people say I rung and left a message, they should have tied a note to a bar of chocolate and pushed it through the letter box, now chocolate does get my attention, especially Crunchie bars. Why can’t we have a 3D printer that is attached to the phone and makes chocolate bars, instead of leaving messages that can’t hear, because you have failed to master the answer machine.

You can elaborate on that thought for yourselves, all manner of stuff on your 3D answering machine. A bar of chocolate comes from the boss when he wants you to work the extra shift, a rose from your mum, and tiny wearable plastic bags come from our Lover. Avez vous des plastiques? Is actually French slang, should you ever need it whilst on holiday in la gai Paris. Though I seem to remember when I was in Paris on Valentines Day 1998, machines pour les plastic ete attache a la mur dans la rue. If I can find my Paris story I’ll post it, it’s about Food Poisoning, yes such happy memories.

We used to play games on the internal phones at work, making heavy breathing phone calls to the girls at the other end of the building. Our building was 200 metres long, on 3^rd floor in 3 buildings in fact. Then one fine day we moved to having all of us in one building, up and down like regular people. Though the company was remarkable, a true Company of Friends. We had a proper phone system installed too, remember 42 years ago, the phone systems were not all Huawei then, at the time all grey dial phones.

What about nowadays? You all have fancy phones in your pockets. Or in my case you inherit your daughters’  old phones. You may have started on  a basis  phone then the brick Nokia style, then you end up iphones. Not me though. Another thing is that the phone starts as a phone and Gee Wiz it has a FM radio on, then a basic camera is added. Finally, the phone is really a camera, a very fancy camera and video recorder, and radio too. Then as internet has arrived it became a computer which fits in the palm of your hand.

Why people spend more than 100 quid on a phone I’ll never know, the spec is getting better and better. Sound and picture quality as well as internet access. Though for me it’s the sound quality that matters most, so I can hear my music. You can have a chip inside that’ll have your entire music collection on it, and there are music streaming services too. Or get a cheap and very high quality Bluetooth speaker, what more do you need? Then you can ring your mate and sound like the Vultures in the Jungle Book, what are you gonna do? I don’t know what are we gonna do. This goes around in circles of your free WhatsApp, before you decide to meet at the off licence, where you buy a few cans of Stella, before heading for the swings in the park. Then with your music playing from your phone you are a couple of swingers getting drunk on Stella.

This is the extent of technology, if you watch 1950s black and white films, people used to come in the back way steal a slice of toast before their mate would follow him out the door, after borrowing 10 shillings from his mom. I can actually  remember a 10 shillings note, it was brown, I got one from Fr. Gallcius in the 1960s after having served a Wedding Mass as an altar boy, he was teasing me in the Middle room of our house, I think he’d given us all a lift home. I bought a compendium of games with the money, from Radfords on the Dudley Rd, where Lidl now sits. Sadly, he died of Leukaemia, I can remember his funeral and how his coffin was raised high in the church.

All these memories arrive when one link leads to another, and no doubt Fr. Gallcius would smile because I remember him. He used to have plastic rats in his pocket and frighten the mothers in the school yard behind the church. This was 1960s before, reality bit in all our lives. Fr Gallcius would also no doubt tell us to remember the Rosary, put away our phones and say the Rosary.
