BANGLADESH and10 other Countries

are my readers today here on my 3 bloggers and my Wordpress

so hello to you, let's pray for Russia too, Putin's adventure into Ukraine

could end with a big flash

So let's pray common sense prevails

I spotted the stories some of you were reading so I read them too

It's like reading a diary of sorts, though I never kept a diary

You're getting 50 plus years of memories  plus stories

I hope you all continue to read them, or BOTHER to read them

So thank you if you do

It's good for my ego to see the readership spread

Nobody pays me, the theory is that eventually before I'm dead I get a Media deal

Because of the 7 degrees of separation or whatever it is

somebody who bothered to read me knows somebody who knows somebody

Or is the cleaner to somebody who is somebody

Australia is reading me again today, but I doubt it is a  Murdoch

More like a Vietnamese refugee from years ago, who enjoys my stories

Hello to her, if it is her today

If it is a Murdoch, hurry up and let me Shine

I've had 6 years post quadruple heart bypass now,  I won't live forever

Though I'll try, just to spite my Pension company

They always assume 20 years, so to pay you less

On that happy note I'm going to potter to the Post Office

I've had an itchy hand so maybe I'll win some money on the Lottery

Two student daughters, I'd like to leave them some money

As I look like Howard Hughes, the dishevelled look

By the way Tinnitus is kind of tamed these past few nights

God keeps me awake. till 4am, so I pray the Rosary

and annoy people with emails during my Tinnitus time on the phone

Then get  up for a hot drink, then finally I go back to bed

And pure exhaustion makes me sleep

But only in 2 hour chunks, which is my norm, but it is an improvement

I wont bore you about the pain attacks, but sometimes my tone of voice changes

and my hernia hurts

And yes that's why I write comedy or my version of it

To make you all laugh, so take that into account as you read

That's all for now, let's see if my itchy hand turns into a prize

At least here in UK, a lot of Lottery money goes to Good Causes

So if I lose, at least a Good Cause has got some of my 2 quid

 

Art and Design

I was having a snack and I hadn’t though of what to talk about today, the usual state of affairs, when I caught my own reflection, as I was reflecting on what to write about. Obviously I though who is that tasty looking man in the window, as tasty as my snack, then I realised it was me, such over arching modest. You’ve all just choked and spat your sandwich out all over your screen, or Big Brenda from accounts has just done a maneuver to save you from choking, so tonight she is doing more maneuvers under the duvet. So thank me for choking you, now you have found your future wife.

So what was I going to write about, you don’t care Brenda will always be there for you, so much for appreciating the Writer. Yes, I was going to talk about Art and Design, it says so at the top of the screen, while you and Brenda and being obscene, but in the best possible way. Now, where was I, I sound more and more like Frankie Howerd, yes, Art and Design. There is a way of making things nice, it’s called curves, or Women, as God designed them. So if you look around you what looks best. Yes curves. Curves in Design, look at your keyboard, not keys if you are bored, but keyboard, it’s curvy at the edges, even the keys are curved and smooth with a bit scooped out so your finger tips can slide in. All very simple, but the feel is so important. Nobody wants angular and rough, smooth and curvy is the way. Look at all the objects in your home, curves everywhere. If you have straight lines it is not Nature, man made objects were originally straight and boring mass produced, until Art and Design crept in.

 

Look at the old monitors in computer rooms, they were chunky and heavy, I can remember back to 1978 when I first started in a computer room, we had a rust coloured lump of cheddar with green writing, this was the super dupper fancy one. I can remember when I bought my own first flat panel monitor back in 2002 maybe, the staff taxi was a Jaguar so he could fit an old one I sold to him in his boot. Meanwhile I had a flat screen monitor which cost 4 times then what they do now. Writing being my vice, so I had a nice colour monitor. Meanwhile the jag driver had a lump of cheese monitor for his video game playing son.

And on it goes Art and Design. If you look back at those old photos what will you see? Badly shaped items, with extra large shoulders, both the people and the Fashionable clothes they wore. Then as time progressed  the lapels got thinner and thinner till they disappeared. Go look at your Google photos is you don’t believe me, see you all looked so horrible, apart from your Gay cousin, and his friend Linda from the chip shop, who when she wasn’t battering fish dress to kill and thrill. Your cousin, was her pretend boyfriend to keep the sharks at bay, though once there was a fight and it wasn’t nice. Linda battered three boys, for saying Gays were, I won’t say, and neither did those three ever again.Linda was also martial arts trained. Her skills did impress this man with the child in his eyes, he was a roofer, he led her to the stairway to heaven, but it was alright he was martial arts trained too, and they were only going up to admire the view.

 

Anyway, looks sell, whether it is fish and chips, or dinner plates.We got some new plates today, fancy curvy white ones, so my frozen fish fingers will look even better on my plate. As a child growing up, ok I’m still a child, just inside a man’s body, a fat man’s body, well when we had new stuff the lodgers had the old stuff. And if it was furniture the lodgers had our old stuff, and the stuff from the lodgers rooms went on the bonfire. All of which would now be called Antiques, and Arthus Negus would be spinning in his grave if he knew what gems we burnt at the bottom of the garden.

 

If you compare what you have now to what you had as a child, the look and style is so much better now, though some will say the build quality is not as good, mdf instead of wood. Things are lighter and technology is smaller, what appeared on Star Trek 50 years ago, is now a reality. Then Retro appears, I had a real BUSH radio the new Retro look one is far far smaller and lighter, the old one had a battery  almost the size of a tin of beans inside. The one I inherited from Frank Brown our lodger changed my life because I started listening to The World Tonight and Douglas Steward reporting followed  by the book at bedtime, me my brother had  the radio in our double bed in the middle so we could hear it without waking up dad in the room  next door.

 

So some designs stay in your memory and the thought of their shape brings back memories and smiles. You can buy curvy plastic corners to prevent your kids from poking their eyes out on sharp corners, and yes I did kid proof my house when our kids came along. I’m teased for being like Mr Brown in Paddington,but just you wait and you’ll be the same. You can go through your photos and share memories, nowadays we’d refuse to buy anything that wasn’t a decent design, we don’t live behind the Berlin Wall after all. So now I have designs on my telly, I need to watch more Kdramas. Though I will say the Art and Designs in them will turn your head as well as all the Product Placements. I just wonder am I fashionable enough to be a Kdrama star, email your opinions...

Explaining Politics To Children ©
By Michael Casey

Imagine you have to explain Politics to kids, what would you say and how would you do it? All Politicians are Liars and Bastards could be a good opening to begin with and grab their attention. Politics is all about Public Service, could be another line, just make sure you don’t say pubic service by mistake or you’ve lost your audience forever.
So what exactly is Politics, “the art of the possible” is one famous quote, you get a stale 2 week old Easter egg if you know who said that, no cheating on Google. Will kids in today’s world believe you if you said the Liberals were once a major force in politics and Labour is a new party, relatively speaking. Would kids have heard of the Whigs, and where exactly did the Tories come from as a name for the Conservatives, “nobody knows  Sir, they are just bastards” may be one interjection from Clegg at the back.
So you start by explaining what Democracy is, the kids say that this lesson is so boring and vote that they go and play football outside instead. So then you have to explain that teachers are dictators, so can they all sit down again and put the ball down. Such is modern day teaching, having taught myself this writer can vouch that it is even worse than that.
So you start the simple way, you’ll explain each party in turn. So you start with the Labour Party, so some wag at the back says it’s a party for pregnant women. So you reply that it’s an ever growing party as their numbers grow every 9 months. Then you talk about unions etc, the kids think this is so boring, until another wag says the students union is the best one, as the beer is so cheap, and he cannot wait to be a student. Was Tony Blair’s policy all about getting millions to drink cheap beer? I suppose in the end you do get a degree as well, I’m told 41% gets you an engineering degree, but the maths is so hard, could Prince Harry have passed engineering maths?
You try explaining Liberals next. The class is ahead of you and say they are all wear anoraks and smoke skunk, that’s why they wear sandals as laces would just be too much on shoes, besides laces become snakes if you take too many legal highs. As for yellow being their colour, it’s because they eat too many curries, but Birmingham is the best place in the world for curries, did Sir know that? Liberals like jointing things, such as Cameron’s government,  in fact they’ll join anything,  it’s the only way they can make friends.
Moving on to the Conservative, the clue is in the name, conserve, keep steady and not change too much. Aren’t they just rich bastards Sir? So you have to explain they have their own businesses and work hard, that’s why they move to nice areas. So they don’t have to mix with the likes of Smith and Jones, Sir, comes from the back. So you ask a rhetorical question, imagine you win the lottery, where would you go and live? I’d live in a nice house with those rich bastards the Conservatives, Sir.
UKIP, is next on your list, does anybody know what UKIP stands for? They don’t even know themselves , Sir, comes from the back. So you explain, United Kingdom Independence Party. And no they are not a Real Ale appreciation party. They are more than that, though judging by the leader, there is a large element of truth in that statement.
Scottish Nationalists, what exactly are they? Well they are Scottish and they are in fact a Separatist Party. They hate the English or so it feels, they are very clever because the educational standards are higher in Scotland. If only I could teach in Scotland bemoans the teacher as he kicks the football and it hits Clegg on the back of his head, but at least it makes Clegg pay attention.
All of the parties do have one thing in common, they love the sound of their own voice, they love being interviewed and getting a few quid every time they are on telly. The food and drink in the Houses of Parliament are great and cheap, that’s why a lot of M.P.s become alcoholics or just fat, that’s why they lean back and sleep in the chamber. The story of microphones imbedded in the furniture is just a myth they are just a bunch of old sots.
Now students I do hope I’ve explained the political system to you, we do have such a bunch of wonderful people ruling us. You can watch The Ruling Class the 1972 film with Peter O’Toole as homework. Don’t forget as you can now vote at 16, thanks to Prime Minister Miliband, don’t forget to go out and vote on Thursday. Now let’s go outside and play football.  Sir’s been smoking skunk again laugh the kids, Sir must be a Liberal.

9th April 2021

Posted bymichaelgcasey09/04/2021Posted inUncategorizedEdit 9th April 2021

Today would have been my mother’s Birthday, 101.

We also hear that Philip is gone, the Queen’s husband

so spare a thought for them. All sorrow is personal

We are but outsiders to others family, and pain

There will be a new tomorrow

You can find my poem, The Dead and The Living online

I did post it at the start of the year

I happened today to find a comic piece that made me cry with laughter

in part thinking of my own parents, I’ll save that for another day

It will form a part of a chapter of my sequel, if ever write it

So for now, remembering is best done with laughter

Thursday already

Thursday already

it's 3, I just looked at the clock

So Tinnitus is still a pain

but this old new keyboard feels so great

simple pleasures

when I was at Pinsent Masons I asked for some old battered keyboards

if you look at some of the old photos attached to these pieces

you'll see them

So blame them for giving me the tools of the trade

they really were/are a nice company to work for

anyway keyboards are great

and no nobody will donate a fancy one to me

this one is an old Lenovo one from years ago

Now where was I

in the bath and I shaved too, so I'm sweet smelling

I even washed my hair, that's why I'm deaf in one ear

I was checking my readers and an old story popped up

I read it and it made me cry behind my shades

Though all of my stuff make all of you cry

when will The fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England

WRITE SOMETHING DECENT

you are all so cruel, I'll get another junk email from.edu

in Brazil or any other place,  like Australia again

Just leave me alone please

And don't send rubbish

Not unless you are one of the Murdochs offering a Media deal

I'll reply to that

Though anybody who writes has to complete a security  check

I will tell you  to pose with one finger in each ear

or up you nose, or with trouser leg rolled up

Like a freemason, pasted in not attached

Thats if you actually write a decent email

CLUE Dear sir/madame (insert name) is obviously off a blackboard

and gets deleted and everybody can check IP

and  view message source, in nano seconds

so don't waste my life

I have more than enough pain already

and you are just adding to it

I'm more cranky the older and closer to death I get

And some days it feels very close

You have my pain levels and you wouldn't be such a pain

Enough of the crankiness

I'm going back to an old word processor too

A new wind of change

Although the wind is of the smelly kind

I've been helping my younger daughter choose her University

More like a sounding board, though never bored

They have to pick now, and then summer 2022 you get results

and away you go off on another adventure

So I hope I win the lottery so the bank of dad has some money in

apart from my pension, yes I've finished early, then I can help my daughter

both of them in fact

In my current Kdrama, a girl from the Future gives a boy the Lottery numbers

So he buys a house and a car, 

Sisyphus: The Myth episode 4 recap - [spoiler] created the ...https://readysteadycut.com › 2021/02/25 › recap-sisyph...

take a peek for yourself

so If a girl like that appeared in my life I'd be happy, especially if she could type

Then I could dictate Tears for a Butcher to her, while I sit on the sofa

Yes I know it will never happen

But in between bouts of pain, it's nice to dream, Tinnitus permitting

I have to watch Sisyphus soon, it's from Greek mythology, go Google, I did

So as Sky play ride of the Valkyries I'll leave you with my very latest photo

this file ALL is a book with 9 or more books inside, so thank you Korea

ALL for KoreaDownload

wed 7th April 2021 In bed with Lenny Bruce and Obama too

 Morning all

Well Tinnitus was pain yesterday

I'm in the land of the living now

I dug out an old keyboard but it feels right

smooth island keys

ask any writer or data inputter

a keyboard makes a big difference

its a bit like stroking the legs of a lover

I'll leave that thought with you

NOW

I did think of Lenny Bruce while I was in bed too

Strange bedfellows

I even had an idea that  made me smile

I could write the most graphic and profane piece ever

Though I leave blanks for you all

you have to crayon in the words for yourselves

I could also record or auto record the piece

But it would get banned without even being read/heard

The BBC actually banned a piece of mine from a website

Yes Really

Why

Because the tag line said"and send me 10 dollars"

So I was accused of Soliciting Money

MORONS

Read Internet story, I think that was the title

it's somewhere on my 4 sites

This is the Main one, and Wordpress has the most Translations on

The other 2 are backups

I'm enjoying this keyboard, the feel is so smooth

Not as much fun as stroking a lover

But I'll leave that to your imagination again, and again and again

I'm glad I switched keyboards this is so good

I'm having a When Harry met Sally moment

Pink is singing behind me too on the smart speaker

She is such a great singer For Now  is the song

SO Lenny Bruce was inked with me, him and his spiders

I thought of an entire riff, so go BLANK BLANK yourself

I laughed aloud in my Tinnitus bed

And Tinnitus hissed back like Muttley

So I may write that up, or maybe not

That' the strange thing with Writers' Minds, or maybe it's just me

Pete But whatever his name is got in on a story yesterday

I was just saying but, when But whatever his name is sprung to mind

Him and his bicycle, so I just followed the chain of thought

That's why he ended up in drag at a Cabinet meeting

Blame Dr Jill climbing the Hill with a pail of water

I'm like the Donald, but without the drugs, he should be taking

I could go off on another riff, but why give him any more publicity

Which brings me to OBAMA, in Chicago

Now it's Easter, time of forgiveness and loving thy neighbour

No, I don't mean stroking legs and pretending it's a keyboard either

What I'm on,  on about, is what is the Easter message

It's Hope and Love and should be bigger than Christmas

though folks think Christianity is Christmas

The theologians amongst you can discuss that

If you are not playing with your keyboards

So what does Pierre mean

Pierre means Rock in French

So Saint Peter was the Rock the church was founded on

Simple

Now is a church, a faith a collection of beautiful buildings

and Art and Priests and Buildings going back 2000 years?

Or is it a collection of rocks?

Yes its a collection of Pierres, people

A church is a people

Not a mega church where the "priest" is a millionaire

and flaunts it, but slams the door shut when a natural disaster happens

The church, any church is a collection of Pierres

So OBAMA, I'm talking to you, there is money in the kitty

Private  money for your library

So here's an idea

Rather than put rocks on rocks for a Library

Have a collection of Pierres instead

Have the Rhodes scholars for 2021 onwards

Don't waste time defining Rhodes etc

Let there be the Obama Scholarships

Post Covid the world needs Pierres not rocks

So, I'll give tell you what Lenny Bruce would say

BLANK BLANK BLANK BLANK

Help kids get an education, start a business

Use the money  in the kitty for that

Is it $400,000,000 dollars?

Build Minds not Buildings

You are Obama and on this rock, build minds and businesses first

Because of You  is playing is playing on the smart speaker

So Smart Speaker, that's you Obama, let people say, Because of YOU

They got some education, they started a business

This is a mustard seed I'm sending you

We had the "Trump University"

Now you can do something for real, that will really make a difference

Build Minds, leave rocks for later, if at all

A building may last 100 years, but an idea?

You are Pierre

Now do something, or will Lenny Bruce have to reveal

that you  BLANK BLANK BLANK

is that physically possible

I am impressed

Now impress Chicago for real

Michael Casey

the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England

p.s. if you bump  into Pete But whatever his name is, tell him Birmingham  is

       NOT in Alabama, he's such a card, now play with the deck I've giving you.
