I know what you were doing last night HONG KONG, I'll tell your mother

you were reading The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

AND you overtook Korea on my readers list on this site

go wash your hands, or have a fag, or a cup of tea

whatever

still need to read 10 times more to beat Singapore

below is what will become the climax of the sequel

Tears for a Butcher

but sadly I'll probably never write it

as a book is a year of your life, without Tinnitus

Not unless a poor misguided millionairess comes to type for me

and I have empty hands, just like in Little Women

would she say, now they are full to me?

and take the risk of Mathew Mark Luke and John

arriving

now read on

Chapter Ten Tears for Butcher

Chapter Ten Tears for a Butcher ©

By

Michael Casey

Big Sid had ambled into the Post Office he wanted to change for his till, so naturally he had stopped to talk to Mrs Murphy who was telling the world that June beside her was expecting a 2nd child. Sid held baby Sheila in his arms like a Saint Christopher and told her she’d soon have a playmate. It was while he was holding the infant that 3 armed men in motorbike helmets broke into the Post Office. But for that he would have immediately charged them like a raging bull, but he was holding the infant so he had to control himself.

The alarm rang, and Sgt Mulholland had coincidentally pulled up outside, so a siege ensued. Now I won’t give you all the details of the siege here, but Big Sid immediately made sure that his bulk was in between the 2 Mrs Murphys and the infant. Over his dead body would any harm come to them. And on the siege endured. It turned out the robbers were at the wrong Post Office. They should have been at the Hope Avenue Post Office, the very big one the other side of town. That’s what happens when you don’t know how to use a Sat Nav.

Big Sid’s friend the Professor from Birmingham Medical school had been leading a conference of surgeons, and Jake Powers an American surgeon had wanted to say Hi. He’d heard how the Professor had used Big Sid in a lecture and BQ and wanted to meet Big Sid in person. He was going to emulate the idea back home in Dallas, imitation is the sincerest form of flatter. Jake Powers was tall and lean and proudly wore his cowboy boots and hat, he was the son of a rancher after all.

So the Professor and the American happened to be at Big Sid’s butcher’s before Jake Powers would take old Michael’s taxi to the airport. There is no such thing as coincidence only the Will of God, and maybe Big Sid had friends in the Highest of places. The Professor waited and was told that Big Sid had gone to to the Post Office. Then the siege began. The Professor looked at his good friend, you don’t want to miss your flight do you? Jake Powers looked him in the eye, just in case, just in case I think I’ll stay. Besides I did not have time for a drink in the Trader. Jake Powers had never had alcohol in his life, so the Professor smiled.

The Professor whispered into his phone, the nearest hospital is Dudley Rd hospital, the one opposite Saint Patrick’s church. Can Blue team assemble this is not a drill, he looked up at Jake Powers, just in case. Just in case repeated Jake Powers. I better let my friends know I’ll not be on the plane home. So Jake Powers phoned his friends who had by now gathered around a tv at the Birmingham airport. Collectively they were Dallas’s best trauma and gunshot team. We understand they said, and where is the standby hospital? Dudley Rd, opposite Saint Patrick’s church.

In a nanosecond the team decided to heck with the flight we might be needed. However they were a full hour away from the hospital. So Dean Marvin a surgeon from Dallas stepped outside and whispered into the ear of a bored Policeman. And with that they boarded their coach and the coach driver was told by PC Jones to stay right up his arse. So with a Police escort a coach full of the world’s greatest surgeons were on their way to join Blue team. It was the first week on the job for Ken the coach driver, with a new coach firm who were desperate for work if only they could get some publicity.

Well God works in mysterious ways, Sky was covering the seige now, and their helicopter saw the coach right up PC Jones’ arse as instructed. The A team was on it’s was, let’s pray they are not needed.

Singing Anvil Coaches were all over Sky news, a free advert as Ken  drove like a bat out of hell on his way to the hospital.

Everybody was calm at the siege. The robbers expected millions of pounds, but would get next to nothing at this Hope Post Office. Big Sid stayed positioned with his bulk protecting the women as the 3 bandits argued over whose fault it was. Then Fate or Ill Luck beckoned, Mrs Murphy was dying for the toilet, so she demanded they let them all out and then surrender to the Police and 10 years in jail. Shut Up you old bitch was their reply. Big Sid said they should not speak like that. Mrs Murphy fired back what are going to do, shoot the baby?

Yes, we’ll shoot the baby the trio of bandits replied. That was a red flag to Big Sid, nothing would ever ever ever hurt a child. So the raging bull was released. He was shot once but threw one straight out the Post Office window, then he charged the second and was shot a second time as he threw the 2nd bandit out the shop window. Big Sid looked back at the women. Are you all safe, YES they screamed in fear. Then Big Sid though by now bleeding heavily charged a 3rd time and got shot a 3rd time, but still managed to throw the 3rd bandit out. But that was not enough for Big Sid he staggered out the shattered front window and Body Slammed the pile of bandits. Is everybody safe he asked?

Jake Powers knew he had to save Big Sid’s life, he was the bravest man in the world, he had seen it with his own eyes. The Professor and Jake leapt into action, Big Sid was hauled into a waiting ambulance. Sgt Mullholland took the wheel, both ambulance men were needed to help the Professor and Jake Powers. Sgt Mullholland floored it, the junctions had already been blocked off as a precaution. Sgt Mulholland flew and I mean flew through Old Forge and Singing Anvil, down the Bearwood Rd, down Cape Hill and down the Dudley Road to the hospital.

And what of the three bandits, they were being savaged by hairy Amjit, the long haired alsatian. Nobody in the Police bothered to stop the dog, that’s if they dared. Finally hairy Amjit pissed on each one in turn. Then he picked up their guns one by one and left them at the feet of Roger the Traffic Warden who shook hairy Amjit’s extended paw.

Mrs Muphy knew what she had to do now, it was all her fault anyway, she should not have been so cheeky. But now her Rosary Beads were out in plain view. Michael get me to Saint Pats quick. With that old Michael the taxi driver floored it, he drove even faster that the Police, he had Saint Michael the Arch Angel behind him. At Saint Patricks  Mrs Murphy walked to the very front of the church and kneeing against the altar rail she began another Rosary.

Mrs Murphy’s heart was breaking, Big Sid could die and it was all her fault. But she had her Rosary and Big Sid had the world’s greatest gun shot team there all tending to his wounds. So she started in 5th gear, no time to waste, she rattled through the Rosary. Outside a media scrum had begun. A slow news day had now become a very big news day. And on she prayed. Her prayers were not enough, she needed more Rosaries, then in her pain she had an idea.

She went outside the church next to the cross and asked Sky news could she say something. Sky news put her on live, this was by now a big big story. Can I ask for prayers for Big Sid? YES. Screamed the Sky reporter, and echoed the BBC reporters and ITN and more. So switching to French she asked for Rosaries, then in Spanish and in Italian. In 10 Languages she asked for Rosaries and said the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be in each of those languages. Whenever she was on Pilgrimage she learnt the Rosary in a new language. The reporters were amazed, a little of lady from Old Forge and Singing Anvil could speak all those languages. All she could say was the Rosary, but that was enough. It was the Virgin Mary’s Nuclear Weapon after all.

Now the shooting of a butcher by 3 armed men, who were disarmed by him became a big big story. Hairy Amjit savaging them and collecting the guns and leaving them at the foot of the traffic warden was shown worldwide. Now Mrs Murphy beseeching for players also went worldwide. The daughters of the rosary leapt into action worldwide. A cry from the womb could never be ignored. 24hour prayers were soon in action, thanks to time zones and Mrs Murphy’s language skills. She even knew Hindi.

Now while all this was unfolding a British Aristocrat and a Shanghai Billionaire were gambling, and who else but Smiling Paul was  leading the entertainment. When Big Sid broke all over the news Smiling Paul screamed as if stabbed. The Aristocrat was livid too, his ancestors had provided the beef for King Henry’s Sirloin. As for the Shanghai Billionaire, when he heard Mrs Murphy beg for prayers not only in Mandarin but in Shanghai dialect he could not be moved. He was also a secret catholic.

Then as Smiling Paul howled like a wounded dog his wife comforted him. And then, and then the Shanghai Billionaire realised, Smiling Paul was The Lucky One, the man who was prepared to give everything to save the restaurant business of his Chinese friends. The silly looking one with the most beautiful of Chinese wives. Now at that moment the Shanghai billionaire swore Big Sid would be avenged, as did the English aristocrat. To upset one billionaire is a bad idea, but to upset two. And how could he help? Father Dan was  in deepest China and Mrs Murphy’s broken heart asked for his return. So the Shanghai billionaire returned her priest, and asked his playboy son with his penthouse at the top of Pearl Tower to come to Old Forge and Singing Anvil too. And because of this coincidence his son would return to his father too. As I’ve said before there is no such thing as coincidences only the work of God. And that work would begin with Fr.Dan  hearing the confession of the 3 bandits inside Winson Green Jail, I forgot to say Fr.Dan is Old School, but I won’t talk of bruises in a prison cell, he is a martial arts expert too, but what else do you expect of a Jesuit….

Masking Your Feelings

Masking Your Feelings

Masking Your Feelings ©
By
Michael Casey

I was wondering what to talk about tonight, and I put some Music on to mask the noise of my Tinnitus, and I had been checking somebody out by doing a few Googles when I thought that’s it Masking Feelings. People hide or mask things, directly or indirectly, sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for bad. Tinnitus is the latest thing that has arrived to annoy me, 9 months ago or so. In the quiet of the night it can really annoy, so I have music to drown it as I try and get to sleep.
In the day ambient noise drowns it, so hiss hiss hooray.

What else do we hide? We hide the fact we have the hots for Helen, we don’t want her to know, or rather her big hulking brother who knock us into the middle of next week if ever he found out. This goes on for months, until one day the brother breaks a leg so he is off for 3 months and this is your chance. You leap for joy when you hear he’s broken his leg, then have to pretend sympathy when Helen tells you the news.

But it does give a chance for a tender romance to start, 12 weeks of bliss, where each bit of news about his improvement is bad news as far as you are concerned.But you have to feign happiness when inside you just wish he’d break his leg again. Which reminds me of John Gordon, one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, though HE did break his leg twice, almost habit forming. He actually saved our company but did it all very modestly, if my memory serves. He hid his light under a bushel while he worked under the cover of kindness.

Michael, just go to the bar and get the drinks in, HE would no doubt say right now, with Barry and Steve seconding the motion. So what else do we mask? Some people buy more beers than others, because it lubricates friendship, but they pretend it does not matter. Or do they have no friends so they “buy” friends with beer. Or do they just have more cash because they don’t drink, just buy beers, sounds all very Irish I suppose.
I’ve seen many an alcoholic, decades of them, so I know drink can hide pain, the loss of a marriage, or the loss of a job, and even losing both because of the drink. It is a circle after all. I was the sandy drinker, the light drinker, but most of our lodgers were alcoholics, and I was born in the shadow of a brewery, then I worked for a market research company into alcohol sales for 21 years. Yes Really, I’m not making it up.

Rivalries at work can be terrible, we may have to hide the fact we hate this person or that person. But that’s not as bad as being overlooked for promotion and the dullard gets the job, and then they are your boss. You would leave but you have nowhere to go, so you hide your feelings and get on with the job. Does that sound familiar, have you been there? So you go home and kick a punchbag instead. One Lady I know, and she is a Lady became a Brown Belt, I don’t know was it because she thought of the company hate figure as she practiced or not, she really was a remarkable Lady. If she is reading this I hope she is not climbing the stairs still. Maybe she opened her own Martial Arts school instead.

Working through pain is the hardest thing of all, and I don’t mean physical pain. Imagine your child is sick but you still have to go to work, you still have to carry on while your child is at death’s door. You have to have a mask or you’d go mad with pain and tears. Your fellow workers don’t know what to say.

Then the cleaner who everybody despises, it’s her who comes and gives you a big hug, and then the tears fall, the much needed tears fall. Your colleagues are about to scold the cleaner, for making you cry, but you hold Jane closer to you. She is better than any pills, any counselling, better than your friends. Because she jumped the barrier of reserve, she knew only a hug would do, so she gave you one.

Now the barriers fall, Jane the cleaner is recognised for what she is, the cog, the oil that lubricates the office. She gets Christmas presents in the future, she is more the confessional for the office, she’s is Nan, for real she is Nan. I might add my life has been spent talking to cleaners, so I know their real value.

To finish I’d say let those feelings out, tell somebody you love them, say you need a hug, ask and you will receive, knock that door if you need help. Don’t bottle things up, you can do lots of things with a bottle after all. I know what you are all thinking, Michael Casey’s brother used to leave pee in bottles knowing I’d drink it. So on that note I’ll drink to your health, and mine.
