Heads up A Korean Kdrama in Birmingham

 Heads up A Korean Kdrama in Birmingham

I was just about to write this but I need to rest

so come back in 5 hours it may be done then

Otherwise it'll have to wait till Sunday

I'll throw salt at it as my mum would say

that's all stay healthy










Repare Mi Casa was what Saint Francis was told

 Repare Mi Casa was what Saint Francis was told

To build you have to tear down and flatten the land

Only then can you start afresh

And yes you all know who I'm talking about

In these circumstances it is better to start again

a Marshall plan for the Homeland

I have actually been to Assisi it you could feel something in the air

A friend was recently there, saw a Korean choir was singing

100,000 Korean martyrs, hence very catholic in Korea

I could write a piece on it, let's see what I turn up with later

Over on my Wordpress Korean translations continue to do well

I had a message from somebody liking Soul, a new piece

I don't know if they are Korean, but I suspect it was a fake new account

But the best way to a man's heart is his belly

Or if his bad, with a carving knife etc, which is an old joke

so hello to them if they stumble here

though, I meant what I told them



my mother's birthplace, the "pigsty" as somebody  called it, home for first 12 years of her life. 1920s Ireland Cromane Lower Kerry Eire

the building is no more, but Google Earth till you see the strand view

yes this is me on  14th Oct 2019, I think

Published by michaelgcasey

I've updated this today 28th Oct 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 1,640,000 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 have a picture in the attic, just like Dorian Gray 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 yes, 30 years plus ago, the play was written in 1988. So since then I'm more than good enough, as a writer. Anything else..... 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. 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 have written over 2000 short pieces of writing, yes 2000 If you include "chats" 2800 samples, the chats do NOT go into my books when I compile them. 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 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 all by word of mouth. If you add up all the downloads from my Wordpress + 13,000 when somebody stole the file. I have had more copies than Boris Johnson's Churchill book distributed. Though Boris earns more than any of us. I also had a low budget film producer take a look at it back in 2013 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 HELP ME REACH FOR THE SKY from my position in the gutter looking at the stars As for my life, I was a computer operator for a market research company into alcohol sales 21 years altogether I also was a concierge and 10 other roles at Crowne Plaza NEC Birmingham for 3 years. 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. I got Excellent, Excellent and Exemplary on the external assessment beside which I've had a Shanghai connection for 20 years now, including 2 bilingual daughters and being a hausfrau a long time too, I'm a great dad, as I've had lots of time with my daughters 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. Now with an add on Hernia pushing through my bypass scar, it hurts when I laugh, so don't make me laugh 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 2 years+, so I have music on all night long to drown it out. I sleep with Miley, Taylor, Eric Clapton and Will Young, maybe I should buy a bigger bed, or just get a better mattress. 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. To finish here's the list of my 19 books, so far:- 1.The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker 2.Shoplife 3.Essays and Plays 4.Blogs 2011 5.300 and Not OUT 6.Shorts 2013 7.More Shorts 2014 8.Quick Stories 9.Still Alive 2015 10.Undiscovered Words 2016 11.Still Smiling 2017 12.Altogether Now 13.New Horizons 14.14 Up 15.15 Down 16.Sweet Sixteen 17. 17 Again 18. 18 New Views 19. The Final Cut of the 19th Hole https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Casey/e/B00571G0YC to buy ebooks I'm working on 2020 Words right now, which may have the banana head on its cover when I'm ready to launch it at the end of 2020 Tears for a Butcher will be the sequel to BBU, and it too will be 600pages, however I really need a speed typist to put it down, while I sit and dictate like Barbara Cartland, and hopefully my speed typist would be impressed. ok, that's your lot, p.s. Don't forget I have readers all over the world in over 80 Countries now and on some days up to TEN different translations of The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker are being read, on the same day, so Media groups do get in touch email michaelgcasey@hotmail.com or send a message via Wordpress Michael Casey aka the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England

 well the pain monster descended a couple of hours ago

But I'm happy because Trump the cuckoo has been thrown from the Nest

So Donald why not read all my stories

12 years of Christmas instead of 12 days

12 years I've spoken here

If you ever read The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

what is it all about, It's about a family, about Love and Caring

Simple really with lots of laughs and a dramatic ending

The Last word in the Book has more depth than you can imagine

But my mother would love and understand it

I did not want to put my dad in the book but when I finished it 

I realised thee he was before me

Mrs Murphy is my mum and her 3 sisters

I wanted Dame Julie Walters to play her if ever it got to film

Big Sid the butcher is my dad, his Love, his Caring

I only realised after I had written it

I am his 4th son, but he had to appear, because he is in me

So Big Sid is him

Should I ever live long enough to write the sequel 

Tears for a Butcher

then Big Sid will return along with the rest of the cast

as well as a Chinese Billionaire who has to help

the street of shops in Old Forge and Singing Anvil

Because of the bookie giving all his winnings away

to save the Chinese takeaway/ restaurant

So now the steaks are upped

so an English aristocrat and the Chinese Billionaire unite

in Tears for a Butcher

ok Donald you can read all 20 of my books

in your retirement

I've just started book 21

as for Tears for a Butcher, who knows their Future and mine?

77x7 we are supposed to forgive, but Trump?

 77x7 we are supposed to forgive, but Trump?

Impeach again

Cos it'll ruin my chances if the 25th is used

So 25th won't happen

RESIGN

no because that's being HONEST

LIES AGAIN as soon as he was back on Twitter again

he DID NOT ORDER REINFORCEMENTS

Pence did

Sadly after 20,000 plus lies

everybody believes him

Or has finally the mirror cracked

Has this cracked Emperor finally got no clothes

140 GOP against the already Certified results

And after the Pitch Invasion, still they voted against DEMOCRACY

Too many words have been spoken about Trump

He was a tool, for a right wing agenda, but in the end he fooled everybody

Just as other European dictators did

Now a raft of laws being invoked to cause trouble for the new guy

And why won't Trump speak the new guy's name

He always was unfit to be President, but Showbiz rules USA

Elections should allow everybody to vote, the more the merrier

Election Day should be a Public Holiday

States rule, but National ease of Access standards

No roadblocks to the voting places

It will take 10 years at least to fix it

Tyrants must be  exposed and deposed

And stronger safety nets put in place

Facebook and Others must have a proper news service

They must pay for it too

So people can see all points of view

And not be sheep led to slaughter

Trump years should be a warning from History to the Future

A fake tan person who, who lies and refuses scrutiny should

NEVER be Trusted

Facts, Detail and Proof only that before Trust

Otherwise it's like entered a  dark room naked 

and expecting not to be taken advantage of

Or some prank in a high school gym

Naked Ambition, and Lie Lie Lie and Lie again

Make strange bedfellows

And then you end up with an unwanted bastard

and no childcare, nor health care

Soul

 

Soul

Soul 2021 ©

By Michael Casey

Well it’s 17.31 on 6th January, feast of the Epiphany, or when the Kings turned up late with nappy rash soother for baby Jesus. You can Google for yourselves the meanings of the Three gifts. I’ll see if I can put some ideas down in an hour, that’s how long it normally takes to write a new piece from a standing start, with just a blank space in my head. Though I hope all this reads like me sat on the sofa besides you just talking to you, that is my intention after all, talking to you. No Letter from America, more like a Postcard from Birmingham, the one in England. Harry and Megs, I’ve available to be the Roland Rat on your podcast, I am very cheap too, just ask Duncan and Sandy, or ask your dad Harry if you’re never heard of them, but I digress.

Now today is a great day, the Feast of the Epiphany, especially in Georgia, named after a mad king I believe. It made me so happy once I finally got out of bed. My church bells ring tone awoke me, and then the Tinnitus got me, some Belarusian competition, The Golden Phone, had woken me up to say I’d won 20,000 Euros. Obvious, a hoax and a scam, so I forwarded the call to Trump. Anyway Soul or Seoul if you are Korean, is the name of a fantastic Pixar film, 10/10 and I will watch it again. And Soul is the thing inside us, our heart, our love, our mind our ego, or our Id, though not ID. All you clever people can work it all out. And Biden did say he was fighting for the Soul of USA.

So a Soul is a big big thing, as big as Seoul, but within our head, or wherever it might be. Somebody once weighed a body to try and work out how many grams a Soul weighed. In The Good Detective the lead proves he has a soul, just watch it for yourselves. I’ve just stopped in mid-stream for to talk to my big daughter, so take 30 mins plus away, from my boast of writing a piece in a hour. We were talking about courses and the value v effort, and is it worth stressing for 95% + when you were getting 85% +. I said just do what makes you happy and quoted my own dad in his deep deep voice, “Michael, I have no Education, do what you like but do your best” and that’s all the advice I can give to anybody, not just my daughter. Do your best, and let the grades take care of themselves. My brothers went to Queens Oxford, and Downing Cambridge by the way. As you all know I’m just the dunce with 20 books to my name, which I share via my websites, so everybody can suffer everywhere.

As I got distracted by my big daughter the flow of the piece will change, but I will say this, it’s good for your Soul to talk to your kids, and good for theirs too. Giving them things is not as important as giving Time and Talking, love is a hug, not a Play Station. Perhaps Love is being sung as I talk to you, and that reminds all of us, that Love is the best thing for a soul. A smile can save a life, just as a hug, when hugs are allowed again, post Covid, makes all the difference. A shared joke, no matter how obscene does make all the difference, how do you think Security people and shift workers survive. It’s the humour or the brotherhood or sisterhood that keeps people going in the dark of the  night, I did do 14 years of nights after all. I did loads of Noon till 8pm shifts too, it made me more employable. Perhaps it’s my sense of humour that keeps me going now that a gang of conditions have hobbled my body, my sense of the ridiculous that keeps me smiling. Though pain attacks can be really really bad, and it would be very very easy to give, but no, I just bore you all about them instead. Make you all suffer, Ha.

Our soul is shaped by our Prayer, whatever Faith or none you may have. It is a great safety net when things are bad we remember what our mothers taught us, and we do learn our faith on our mothers’ lap. Some say God is Abba, not the band, but Daddy, so we have a childlike connection to our God. This means it is very close, for as we grow older we are more self-important, and forget daddy carrying us on his shoulders or in his arms. We should try and stay childlike in our closeness to our God.

Triple or Quadruple?

Triple or Quadruple? Well my 10 year anniversary is coming up I was told prior to my op it would be a triple BUT when I had a 6 month review...
