Evicted and Homeless
could be a story I write in the next 24hours
Like a thief in the night, your best buddie condemns you
Without a pillow to lie on, as nobody sells them
I could go on but you can write it for yourself
Arrogance and Boasting just racks everybody else off
The world over, not just the French
So I'll leave it there for now
p.s. I tried out Ck Shock for Him today, my girls insist I don't stink
and it's nice, still fresh 8 hours later, i wish I was.
Hold your Breath
not just because my feet stink
we used to wash in the kitchen sink
when I was a child, a Belfast sink they are called
Then a bath once a week upstairs
we could not afford baths for all every day
8 in the family after all
anyway hold your breath that the Donald
doesn't have any last minute explosive plan
I can think of several, let's hope
he just goes into oblivion
I hope you liked yesterday's story in the Oklahoma diner
a stray email gave me the 1st line, and the rest just tumbled out

Cup of
tea Diner ©
By Michael
Casey
Now as you
may remember Grannie Smith saved a Seal,
no she wasn’t a conservationist like Sir David Attenborough, the military kind of
seal. So when she announced she was taking a trip to see Oklahoma in Oklahoma, Howard
Keel was such a great singer in the film, a couple of real Seals said they’d tag along to make sure
she’d be safe. She was very old by now. Grannie Smith was proud so they went
along with her, but not by her side, just a knife throw away, she was still an independent
lady.
Grannie
Smith still enjoyed English tea, so she was pleased when she saw it advertised
as a novelty in the Diner. So she climbed the steps gingerly and sat ready for
her tea. Now obviously MayLi in the dinner got a kick out of serving English
tea to an English lady, and yes as Grannie Smith grew even older she looked
more and more like the Queen of England. MayLi looked on as Grannie Smith
tasted her brew, but it wasn’t quiet right. Don’t worry we can fix it said
Grannie Smith, so she went behind the counter and warmed the pot, and do what
she did herself instinctively.
MayLi
recorded everything on her iPhone, she didn’t want to miss a trick. And then
the two of them sat down and had tea. Two Seal shadows stepped forward and shared
the pot, pot of tea that is, nothing naughty. And it was perfect. Now MayLi put
this on her social media, TicToc, Weibo and even Facebook. The next day there
was a crowd 100 strong. You see in Oklahoma, it always is a beautiful morning,
and to have the Queen of England too, it really was their cup of tea.
Grannie
Smith went to the theatre to see Oklahoma in Oklahoma, and when she arrived the
crowd hushed, the Queen of England was there to see the show. Afterwards she
went to the diner, MayLi was speaking excitedly, one of the Seals had so
much sex appeal, and she was still
single and so was he. She had read it all in the tea leaves, something big was
gonna happen. And the Seal was big, very big. Only she had read the leaves
wrong. A developer had sent her a notice, he was going to build a sky scraper and the diner was in the way,
that was the big thing, not the Seal.
So MayLi
cried into her leaves, Grannie Smith said don’t worry, it’s an ill wind that
blows no good, and then one of the Seals farted. So they all laughed. They
opened the door to let the breeze in, and who show breeze in through the door.
Only 2 Englishmen not in New York, but in Oklahoma, they had seen the sign and
wanted a cuppa. They sat and had tea,
why the glum faces. MayLi showed the notice,
it had a picture on it of the new building planned. The two Englishmen laughed
and threw back their heads, at this point the Seals moved forward fast, they
knew who they were. Were they English assassins after Grannie Smith. No they
knew them, you see the Englishmen were Bona Architects from Pinner, Julian and
Sandy. And in fact they had saved those two Seal’s lives.
They
hadn’t recognised them for a moment but blow me timbers, Julian and Sandy were
also mountain climbers, they had met up
the Eiger, they had all saved each other as they were climbing up the mountain.
Anything Clint Eastwood can do, we can do better. So in a moment old friends were so happy,
only MayLi was not. Grannie Smith looked on, Julian and Sandy looked at the
picture. You know we could knock up a building quick, and it would look so much
better, and you know Jules, if we did it our way the diner could stay.
So
borrowing MayLi’s lipstick, Julian and Sandy drew a picture of what they could
build and better, and the diner would stay.
Again MayLi filmed it, Grannie Smith spoke directly to the iPhone, it was like
the real Queen’s Christmas broadcast. And here is Julian and Sandy’s counter proposal,
literally drawn in lipstick, in war paint on the counter. And when Julian and
Sandy spoke in such posh posh English how could the developer refuse. And yes
it was a question not of Three coins in a Fountain, but Three Queens in a diner, with Seals applauding.
Bona Architects from Pinner were Gay, and they could climb any mountain, you go
ask the Seals if you don’t believe.
This
design was again put online, it was a hit, a very big hit, Julian said to Sandy,
it’s huge, very huge, you just look at the ratings. And what exactly was the design.
It was a feather, like a Red Indian’s feather, with the diner at the base, in
fact there would be 4 diners, so MayLi would have to expand, but she had her
eyes on a Seal, so expand away she would. As for the construction workers, well they are Red Indians anyway, so they’d all flock, flock a lot, to come and
build a feather.
Now it takes
a while for drafts, ask any soldier, to be ready so Julian and Sandy drafted
away. And protective glass was placed around the diner, as for Jules and Sandy they had new jumpers
knitted. The jumpers they wore when they went
climbing, but also the
design of the building was woven on the
front, on the back 1 for Julian and 2 for Sandy. This is my building, was on display,
and 1 and 2 because it takes two to tango.
Once the
steelwork was to begin, Julian and Sandy joined the Indians, they were mountain
climbers after all, the Red Indians had misgivings. But when Julian and Sandy
were way up high they danced and pranced like ballet dancers, with1 and 2 on
their backs. The Red Indians were impressed, they may be English but the way
they worked the iron, was so impressive. They did iron all their own clothes
too, but that’s another matter. All this Joy, all this Sorrow, John Denver sung
at 300 feet, the Red Indians did like a bit of music while they worked. But as the
words All this Sorrow rung out, a Red Indian fell, and he would not have seen
tomorrow. But Julian dived and grabbed him by the ankle, and Sandy dived too
getting the other ankle. Their reactions
were like lightning, just as they were on the Eiger, nobody dies, nobody dies.
Besides as Julian said to Sandy afterwards when the excitement was over. I have
special surprize for our Red Indians. You see he had Indian curry from a curry
house owned by a stray Birmingham England man bused in from 40 miles away. Vindaloo
will do, and pork scratchings, and a barrel of Banks bitter.
The Red
Indians loved the Vindaloo, and MayLi gave them tea too. As for the curry house
40 miles away, he was swamped with Red Indians, Red Indians eating Indian too.
When the building was finished Granny Smith opened it, along with the 3 new
replica diners, all the way from China. Julia
looked at Sandy and Sandy looked at Julian, they were wearing matching
jumpers with the design on. Let’s lose our virginity, the Oklahoma crowd was confused.
Then the pair of Bona Architects from Pinner sprinted towards the building,
they were going to free climb it, why because it was there as any mountain climber
will tell you.
Normally
when they get to the top, well they, well they, but this was Oklahoma not
Pinner, so waiting Seals strapped parachutes to them. Then they jumped and Julian and Sandy landed
on the diner, they needed a cuppa after all their efforts, they are English
after all.
morning all of you wherever you are
Not so bad a Tinnitus night
I had a junk email from a baseball fan
So I emailed his teacher telling them to send him to the dugout
That was yesterday
That led to a stream of connections in my head
So in the middle of the night during Tinnitus time
I emailed somebody over there in buildings
I'm not going to give the story away
Anyway my mind is like a pinball wizard
I'm a ball being knocked and bounced through the machine
Which finally led to the next story I'll write
Remember I have influences dating back to the Marx bros and Max Miller
and Round the Horne and BBC Radio comedies as well as Kenny Everette
and Ronnie Barker monologues, as well as thinking as if I'm on acid
JUST SAY NO, I don't need any of that stuff because I have an IMAGINATION
so come back later and see which way the wind blows

My favourite sweets(c)
by Michael Casey
Friday, June 18, 2010, 06:20 PM GMT
My favourite sweets are, now let me stop before I continue. What are your favourite sweets, as you sit in front on the PC, a cup of coffee perched by your screen as you read this instead of doing those oh so interesting Excel reports for the boss. Can you remember back to when you were a child? Or have you never given up on sweets, or are you a parent?
Well for me it was always a Cadbury's Crunch. My brother would sell his very soul for a Rolo, my youngest daughter loves them too, her delight is squashing them until these stick to our glass coffee table, which is also our Chinese eating table. If you look though the living room window you'll think you're looking at a restaurant or looking at China. Well you are, Shanghai to be exact, rice with everything.
With a diet like that my girls are tall and thin. Thats why they enjoy sweets so much. My big daughter likes Caylie now, if I've spelt it right. We all adore a nice bag of crisps, so an Aldi 26 pack does down well. I'm old enough to remember the salt being in a blue bag inside the crisps, and not when they reinvented it 20 years ago, I mean 45 years ago. Pop came in heavy glass bottles which had a penny refund on the bottle, and you could get some chews with the refund.
I always used to drink the dregs from the pop bottles before taking the bottles back. My brother who I'd put a red hot poker on his leg, just for fun as kids do. Well my brother peed in a few bottles, to simulate dregs, and yes you've guess it, I drank those dregs. Which reminded me of the salt in crisps packets.
We had an old fashioned sweet shop just a few yards
away from the family house, two ancient sisters with a small husband between
them lived there and made bread but in the front room was a sweet shop with all
those jars of sweets. They used to say to us children as we left "off ye
go, home to your parents. So we called the shop "off ye goes".
As you grow up your tastes change, and its a nice novelty to rediscover an old fashioned sweet shop. Then the memories come flooding back. I'm lucky in a way because I drunk so much milk it protected my teeth from all the sugar. However I did give up sugar in my coffee when I was 19, just to see if I could.
Blokes discover beer and stop having sweets, well until they are
parents. As for women its said that a woman would prefer a bar of Cadburys or
Galaxy instead of a man. Give her a Jackie Collins and chocolate and maybe some
Baileys and the whole human race could die. Sobering thought that. But it does
give a whole new meaning to "I'm Sweet on You."
Cheerio from a wet Birmingham, and don't forget
wine/chocolate/beer/Dr Pepper are all best served cold just like revenge, as
any Mafia friend may tell you,
Corpse Celebration v Inauguration 20th Jan 2020
just a few thoughts
Today in the DM online I was deeply touched by the Mantra
Nobody Dies Alone, what Covid 19 doctors/nurses do in UK
In USA 400,000 DEAD
What does Trump want, a Stars and Stripes send off
a military parade and 21 gun salute
Before snubbing Democracy itself
No doubt complaining that the sound of graves being dug
Detracts from his self requested 21 gun salute
My father remembered the doctor say wheel him down to the end
of the ward, he'll be dead soon, this was in July 1996
Then my dad awoke after his near fatal heart attack
We had 5.5 years of extra time
and my dad got to see me married and hold a grand daughter in his arms
These 400,000 lost Souls in the USA, have no extra time
Just fake news, and maskless idiots
LIES, for the are LIES
Which have led to more deaths
Then we had a pitch invasion of DC seat of government
And why?
Because the Leader lies and lie and lies again
People have been brainwashed
A lie no matter how often repeated in still a lie
Yet "media" repeat the lie, until it becomes a cancer
The only way to remove cancer is to cut it out
And remove licences of "media" who pedal lies
You cannot be a gentleman while the enemy is down in the dirt
After the war in Germany
The GIs herded the population into the cinema
Not for Charlie Chaplin, but to see the Death Camps
But our leader was such a nice guy
No he was not
And today we have men of faith
compare those who stood up to Trump
as TEN Judases
This is simply wrong, and will always be wrong
Faith has allowed itself to be Bastardised on the altar of Trump
And not for a second do I believe Trump has any Faith
Except in himself and his own lies
It will take ten years for Trumps lies to disappear
Trump must be banned forever
Trump was a useful idiot to get the "right" agenda on the books
But the fox outwitted the hunters
and where did it lead, to DC being overrun
Ignorant people will always be misled
But society must prevent this
We must live in Hope not Fear
Fear what the leader will do or bully is into
This is no way to live
It corrupts and destroys societies
Buy a hat, by a Tshirt, money for nothing
No roads paved, no clean water
Just ignorant people lead to the slaughter
Look back at History, it all started with Parades
And ended with millions dead
So don't self destruct a society by having a clown lead you
When all this clown is doing is filling his own pockets
p.s. All Political Lives end in Failure, but 400,000 Covid 19 deaths in USA
were a direct result of Politic Failure in USA, and that's nothing to celebrate.
Run on Kdrama
is interesting, on episode 5 now
Its nice spotting actors I've seen in other shows
one young athlete is the "devil" in The Uncanny Counter
And the strict dad is the shoemaker in an old Shoe Kdrama
As for me TINNITUS is the worst of my diseases
Not just the noise in my ears
But the lack of sleep and pushing to the edge of darkness
almost every night, which is the title of a star trek film
So try walking in my shoes as Depeche Mode sing as I talk to you
In Run On the actress film translator is so pretty
No wonder I love Kdramas
The little old ladies in noddle bars remind me of the Chinese
folks I've met in Shanghai
So they make me smile
Stay Healthy Korea and maybe one day I'll meet you all
In a chip shop in Birmingham
oh I forgot I had a txt at 5am saying my hair was Great
it was sent from a battered old phone I used to play music on in the night
to my mobile, which is turned off mostly.
So It was 3pm before I spotted your hair is. Great
So who sent it, a Ghost?
Or did I send it to myself while I was zonked out
BUT there is no credit on my music phone
and I do not know the number on my day to day phone.
Histories Extraordinaire which was a French radio show
I listed to 45 years ago
There's a plot for a story there, so go write it...
as a punishment for Korea and I really do love my Kdramas
here are 5 books, the Omnibus, ALL, one, has 10 books inside, I think
just click as read, I'm not a Linguist, computer translations.
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...
