transcrbe this
Here is the text from your audio recording:
"Hello, everybody. It is the 14th of August 2026. It's the Feast of Maximilian Kolbe, the monk who took the place of somebody in the the gas chamber and then sang happy, happy, I suppose, for without food or water, leading the the choir in the concentration camp cell. And in the end, they gave him a lethal injection. So, that's the background. Let me have a sip of tea. I don't know, can you hear me? As I'm trying not to wake up everybody. Over here in Birmingham, I woke up to the smell of smoke, and I thought, "Is the house on fire?" And in the end, I also went downstairs and looked backwards and forwards, front garden, back garden, in the street. And I realised it's the smoke from Stourbridge, about 10 miles away, or whatever distance, because we're on a hill, so the smoke will get to us. And what happens to be, the area where my brother comes from, and it's his birthday tomorrow! And his daughter's birthday the day after. So, you get three in a row: Kolbe, my brother's birthday, daughter's—his daughter's birthday. Now, I'm thinking of doing audio in future because I have horrendous arthritis in this left shoulder, which means it I scream, and I can't take uh oral painkillers because they destroy my kidneys even more. So, I slap on painkiller, and then that that eventually works, and it goes through the body straight to the spot, avoiding the kidneys. So, I was I was thinking, I will use audio in future. But, a transcriber uh online would would make some mistakes. So, I'm I'm testing it. My my plan would be that I just audio record, send it off to the the tech company, and then that's me done for the day. But, what's um if we helped Focus Blind Charity, which is down the road, they've got a transcribing phase service, so I record it for ears, and because I write for ears, then I'm done, then we send it over to the blind people who who have got better hearing because they because they they do transcription services. And so, the blind turn my my voice into words so you can read it. So, we're going through the senses. So, I had I have promised to write a comedy. But, with this shoulder, after an hour or so, it it hurts. Let me have a sip. And the cause of this arthritis, when I was teaching ESOL English in an Islamic school, I was walking along the Coventry Road with a briefcase—not a backpack, a briefcase. So, if you're walking a mile with a heavy briefcase, it does your shoulder in. So, I can I can trace back where it comes from. Being a teacher, excellent, excellent, exemplary—yes, I was that good. Uh and that's what caused it. And so now, is it 15 years later? I'm left with this injury, which is when it kicks off, morphine isn't strong enough. Yes, really, because when I was in hospital, I said, "I've got to go home and get my own painkiller because I I can't stand it, I'll be screaming." The doctor says, "Have you got morphine at home?" I says, "No." He says, "Well, I'll offer you morphine." Obviously, it was prescribed, etc. Well, that's another story. So, here we are today, and it's what time is it? It's 10 to 6:00. So, I've had some breakfast. I've had stuffed uh chicken with with uh stuff roast stuffing in the middle, which is nice. And the cat's had some as well. And the cat's come in, she's been outside as a hoor cat, as her highness pronunciation, hoor cat. Cuz she's a cat, that's what they do, and she's come home. And she's now sat on the chair where I sit in the in the in the living room because she likes the heat. If I sit on it, I've got a radioactive boiler, or a or a fat bum that heats up, so the cat sits there because that's where cats go. They go where the heat is. So, if you have a a child in a pram outside, it'll sit on the pram because that's where the where the heat is from the baby, and where the milk is, cuz they can smell it. So, be careful, because it might suffocate your child. Also, if you live around here, by Warley Woods, we have foxes, big foxes, bigger than your dog. So, if you put your your baby out in the a stroller, say, "It'll be okay, catch a bit of sun," well, not too much sun because of the because of the heatwave we're having, it might get bitten by a fox. So, it's common sense, you look after your kids, you don't just say, "Oh, I'll just park them there, and I'll go on the phone and scroll and look at rubbish." Yeah, there's a there's a meaning for everything. So, back to the plot. Let me have another sip. As I'm talking to you, the the noise in my head is like being in, oh, no. It's like being in a gas chamber, and you can hear the sssssssssss of it come through. Or, it's like being in an oven, and you can hear the you can hear all the burners and all that, no, all everything, but you can't actually feel the pain. Yes, it's the wrong metaphors because I've just mentioned gas chambers and Kolbe, but that's the sound, and that's what it's like, and it is like being in hell. And if you've had it for years, you have to have a faith, or a self-di- a self- willingness, bloody-mindedness inside you to survive, because some people don't, because it drives them to infinity and beyond or madness. Yes, it is that bad, but people don't see it, so they say, "Oh, I can't see it, so it doesn't exist." Yeah. So, there we go. But anyway, comedy. I was So, I was I was thinking, if eventually, and it will happen, though I think very soon, I sell my IP, intellectual property, because of all the stuff I've got, I'll reiterate: 3.4 million words—three times more than all the Harry Potter stuff put together—2.3 million clicks, 210,000 plus free downloads in multiple languages, 172 countries at least, all have read me. And there's 6,300 individual pieces of writing. I have hundreds, might might even be thousands, of of comic little stories. And I actually recorded the first 200 pieces of writing. So, you got my writing, and it which is a story, and the audio. So, if you have 200 pieces of that and the audio of about 11 hours, that in itself is an ESOL English learning system. And in the Far East, it's a hundred billion dollar—did I say a year?—business. Yes, that much, because they all want to learn English because it's the international language of commerce. It's the inter- national lingua franca. What everybody speaks, if they don't speak their own other's languages, the common-old language is English. It's not French, as it used to be in diplomacy years ago, and it's not Russian, as they were forced to learn in the old countries of the empire. So, there you go. So, I've got all that stuff, and it's worth a lot of money, and you can use it in films, and plays, and essays, etc. So, that's that. So, if I if that turns into money so I can look after my family, and the plan is to do all that, and the other plan is, I once I get the prerequisite amount for my own family, I might be donating up to 80% to charity. But, have to see. Until it happens, it's not a promise, it's a it's an aspiration, but it will become a promise if I get what I deserve, or what the words deserve because they can make lots of money for all these companies. You know, so if your company is making lots of money because you did the work, you get a lot of money, and then you can decide how to spend it. You can be greedy and selfish and keep it all, and have a gold-plated yacht or a plane, or you can say, "No, I'll keep what I need," which is still a lot of money, "and but then you'll give back to society." So, in my case, it will be Focus Blind Charity, it will be CAFOD, it will be Islamic Relief, because we're Birmingham. And both charities do fantastic work. So, you give them the money. And also, my dad used to have a little purse. He was a steelworker, as hard as nails, because it used to be 400 degrees, not this little, "Oh, it's so hot," in the little pits where, imagine, it's like four four, five times hotter every single day for 40 years. Yeah? Yes, yes, so so, you'd so, he would have a purse. So, the idea is Focus, CAFOD, Islamic Relief, and the the fourth division of the of the money that goes to charity would be Andy's Purse, which is Sir Andy's Street, and you give him a purse of money like a prize fighting or the King's Purse, or the uh or the money at uh or money at Easter, what the King's give out. So, you give him a wad of money and say, "There you go, Andy, go go spend it." And just you give him carte blanche and say, "We trust you." Probably the only politician in the world you'd actually trust, and he has all this money and he goes he sprinkles it around. That's the big overarching plan. So, it's 10 minutes now. Let's get to the comedy. Or is that a comedy of conceit and arrogance, etc.? So, so, there there we are, I've got some money, and I'm going to buy a house. And I'm not going to be running around doing all that, because I've got numbers of diseases, and I haven't got any stamina. I can sit in this chair and talk for hours, but I can't go off walking down the street because it with the tinnitus and arthritis and all this stuff, I'm stopping every so often. So, the plan would be, we have a gay personal shopper. "Hello, my name is Paolo. I'm Paolo from Italy." I have to be careful now the way I enunciate because this is going to be checked converted by the machine for me to test the machine. So, I have Paolo from Italy. Paul from Italy, and he'll be the the gay personal shopper. So, I've made some money for myself, I've bought a nice house, but I want somebody to fill it with furniture. So, Paolo meets with my two daughters, who are Shanghai girls, so they know fashion and have excellent taste. Sha- Shanghai girls look down with pity on Prithvi girls, and you think that's cruel, but it's probably true. Ask any Shanghai girl. So, so, Paolo, "I'm Paolo, your your personal shopper." I've got to say enunciate so the tape can record it. So, Paolo, the the gay Italian personal shopper. And I was got tempted to call him something else, but the Italian I'm thinking of would smack me in the mouth with a candles
tick, so I'm not going to do that joke. So, so, my daughters go to a high-end shop, and they and they and they Paolo says, "I don't like the color. It wouldn't suit your eyes, and your hair, and your, but we're furnishing a house, yes, but it mustn't clash with your with your looks, should it? It must it must look beautiful, stay beautiful like you. I may be gay, but I know a pretty woman when I see one. My mama, she was so pretty. She was so disappointed, pained when I looked at boys instead of girls, but but she said, 'So long as you get the fashion right, I will forgive you.' It's true. So, the devil may wear Prada, but I wear better clothes than Prada, because I'm Italian, and I'm gay, and I'm a man, so it must be very very good, or I know where it is." So, the furniture for your place, I I help you pick you choose, I hope the tape gets this right translation, I help you pick you choose, and we point, "I pay," and with the with my my my debit card—black, of course, because black is the new, is the the color of fashion. So, you pick, you point, I pay, and that's it, and we fill up a truck. So, you can imagine, you have a gay you have a gay Italian dressed to the nines, who handling is is clothing would make Armani look shabby. And the way he moves, and he just the the eloquence of his of his body movements. There's a sentence for you. The eloquence of his body movements. He goes, "No, I don't want like this one. We take another color. It must match your eyes, it must match this. You're a nice girl, and when you're sitting down, it mustn't damage your bum, because the bums must be looked after." So, so, it goes on like this, and they go around all the shops. Now, I could say a joke there, a really ratty joke there, but you can go and look at my website, and you know who I'm talking about. Cuz you know, and you know I know, so there you go. Is that for proper English? You know, you know I know, and you know because you know, because you know, just by reading. See, there's a riddle for you, but it's not a riddle, it's it's very straightforward. If you know, you've been reading my website, you know you know who I mean, exactly who I mean. And they know who you are, and they know who I mean and what I mean, even though I haven't mentioned them because it's it's total clarity. Perhaps I be a I should be a lawyer. Instead, I'm a metaphorical linguistic acrobat. Say that again: a metaphorical linguistic acrobat. So, so, they go they go through, and the and Paolo says, "So, you you need a you need a you need a few chairs to to to sit on, have a rest when you've finished cleaning the floor, because you must always clean the floor. You must always clean the floor, cuz my mama's say you clean the floor, and that shows the whole house is is nice." Cuz my mother always was a bit of a scrubber. Yeah, my mom always was a cleaner. But, she cleaned very good, and when she cleaned very good, she got more work, and then in the end, she only worked for rich people, and then they they fought over to have my mama, the scrubber. "She's my scrubber, she's not your scrubber." "No, she is not. She is my scrubber." And she made lots of money because when they die, they say, "I nobody likes us, we're too rich, so what do we do with the money? Oh, we leave it to the scrubber." So, she scrubbed and scrubbed, and she inherited some money, and that's how I am Paolo, the personal shopper, and she has another scrubber of her own of her own, and it's a little Albanian woman, because we keep it close to the neighbors, because Albania is close to Italy. And on it goes, in circles, you can imagine, oh, my mother was a scrubber, but she had a scrubber, too, because she inherited the money from the rich people because they liked the way she scrubbed, and when she scrubbed good, they liked when they would have parties, they said, "Your floor is so good. Who is your scrubber?" "My scrubber, oh, she's standard." "Oh, I must have that scrubber." And then they argue over the scrubber. Well, in the end, my mom, she had lots of work, and she worked very hard because she was a good scrubber. And in English, scrubber has double meanings. It means somebody that scrubs, as in scrubs a doorstep, and scrubs the floor, but it also means prostitute. So, when you use that word, you have a double meaning, and you you get a laugh when you're writing or you're performing, because people think one thing but you mean the other, and it's called juxtaposition, whatever it's called, it's called it's called something, but you know what I mean. So, so, my mom's a scrubber, but she inherited lots of of property, and then she's no longer a scrubber, she was a property scrubber. She scrubbed the property's name, and she changed it, and then she sold it and made lots of money. And, how is that, my bambino? So, she loves me, even though I'm not a man, she thinks I am a man, obviously, I'm a man. Can you see, look, do you want me show you my trousers? Anyway, I went anyway, so I continue. So, I'm a personal shopper, and she says, "That's all right, so long you don't get too personal. Just be a nice boy, and and if you have a nice boy, bring a nice boy home. Don't go around with any scrubbers." And, I'm posh now, no more scrubbers for us, we're a posh family, and on it goes. So, Paolo goes around all these high-end shops, and my my daughters like, "Oh, that's nice." And then he'll give them the history of the cloth. He'll tell them where the woods were were planted and grew, and what kind of of chopper they used to chop them down. Chopper has several meanings in English as well, so you have to be careful when you talk about chopper and choppers, because it's not just a bicycle, and if it is a bicycle, you ride a bicycle often, and if you ride a bike, riding a bike means something else, too. And see, on it goes on and on and on, and the double meanings uh become triple meanings, and you maybe have had had to grow up with it with Radio 4 to appreciate some of the linguistic acrobatics. What then, that was back in the old days, 50 years ago, or nearly 60 years ago, when I was listening to it because I'm a metaphorical linguistic acrobat, and I know about scrubbers, and because I know where they scrub. And, an Italian called Paolo, he knows how to do it because he's a Paolo boy. He's a Paolo boy. So, so, Paolo's going around at these high-end shops, and my daughters like, "Oh, we like that blue one." And and he'll give them chapter and verse, and then he'll say, "Okay, how big are your house? How big are your house? How many rooms do you know?" And they say, "Well, we don't really know, Dad just says fill the house with furniture." Your dad has said your papa's say fill the house with furniture? Does he love you? Well, yeah, obviously. And then Paolo starts to cry. "You have a dada, a papa, who loves you, who let you pick, find all the furniture, and he employ me to help you?" Yes. "I never knew my papa. Mama had a mama had a baby, and I was the baby, but she had to scrub very hard because papa, he ran away, and we don't know where he ran away to, but he ran away somewhere, well, it's not to with us, it's somewhere somewhere else." And he starts to cry. Papa, don't leave me. And then he also can segue into the song, if only he knew what the song was. And so so, Paolo cries, "Oh, he's such a nice guy. What does he do?" Oh, he writes stories. He writes the story? Oh, that's a nice. What's his name? Michael Casey from Birmingham, England. Never heard of him. That's what everybody says, but, you know, he sold it he sold it to the Far East or somewhere, or the Near East or anywhere, so long as they pay the money, we we taken the money. See, I'm the girls are speaking Italian now, but they're multilingual, anyway. English and Shanghai and one of them is trilingual, English, Shanghai, and French. And nearly quadrilingual, quadrilingual, quadrilingual, quadrilingual, because I watch so much K-dramas on the TV, she hears that in her head all the time. So, it's Shanghai, Korean uh heard, English, and French. No wonder the cat's confused and doesn't want to come home at night, and goes out, and says, "I'm not staying in this house, it's a madhouse, there's scrubbers here, scrubbers there, and I can't get anywhere because all these funny languages." I should be a language assistant, and perhaps that's what the cat is doing at night, she's a language assistant. Well, maybe she translates for a scrubber so she so the scrubber gets it right. Well, that's another story. And, I know I'm not working from a script. Yeah, I'm working from imagination, and it's it's ping and pong. And my shoulder's starting to ache, so I I might have to stop and put some painkiller on my shoulder because it's worse than I need morphine, it's really bad, it's the the joints inside your the bone inside your shoulder rubbing against each other, it hurts. Yes, it's like that. So, there you go, and then I'll have to put the cream on, then the cream goes up my nose and makes me feel sick because it's only 6 in away, and there's a joke about 6 in there, but you can make that one up for yourself. So, anyway, back to the plot. So, the the girls say, "All right, we don't know, is there I don't know, 1, 2, there might be five big rooms." Five big rooms? That at the old No, no, that's downstairs. Upstairs, downstairs, and in Milady's chamber. You mean you have a pot that goes under the bed chamber, as in chamber pot? No, just Anyway, so so, it's how big is every room, and then they show him the plans. And, it's obvious, Mamma Mia. Mama mia, rivi-rivi-rivi-rivi. Well, he doesn't say that because that'd be too stereotypical. And, what does stereotypical mean? I don't know. Is it a radio with lots of speakers? See, it's linguistics, so you have you just put them together, it's like glue, it's like Lego. Words are Lego, you just see you have a pile of them, you put them together this way and that way, and you get different um results,
which could be what you do with your boyfriend this way and that way, but that's another story. So, back to the plot. So, the so, the girls would just go around and they they'd just go around, "Pick this, like pick that, and well, we'll do one room in this color, we'll do the other room in that color, and all that," and so, and then we need a a proper kitchen table so we can we can have our dinner on the kitchen table. Which which then would come to the the cutlery and the and the the tablecloths and all the linen and all the stuff, which if you have Shanghai daughters, that goes to the nth degree of color choice, all this, and all that, it's just you it's endless. It is really endless. That's why you need the personal shopper, because he knows the brands, he knows the the colors, and he'll like, "No, no, you cannot have that, it doesn't match with your eyes, you're a mean you're cooking and you're having this color, or you make the the thing and the the pastry and the, you you can cook?" "Yeah, good, I'm coming for dinner, then, cuz my mama, she's not very good at cooking. She was good as a scrubber, but cooking, not so good. But, we can my mama can come as well. You agreed? Agreed, okay." "And, how much are you paying me to do this? We don't know. Papa didn't say, he didn't say, does he know my rates?" Oh, I think I double the rates. You're Chinese, you give me that look. "Okay, I'll half my rates from the original, because I know how the Chinese negotiate. If I don't give you the half on the original, I might not see the end of the day because we're so busy drinking and we're," anyway, but that's just another story. So, and that and on it goes, so they say, "Okay, we need two sofas in this room, this color, we need three sofas in that room," all this stuff, but there is two rooms are holy rooms. Why are they holy? Because there's a mar- mark on the carpet. Well, that's another story. Carpet burns, but, you know, that's not a Scots person. Carpet burns, so, so, two rooms, my study will have to have a nice big sofa so I can rest, and then a nice desk, and then I'll have a big screen, I've got a 32 in screen now, maybe I get a bit bigger, I don't know, 40 in, don't know, and then so long as it has speaker put a microphone here, and my keyboard and all this, so make it a little bit bigger. So, that room must have a nice desk, a big screen for the computer and all this, and a nice sofa, and probably a nice rug, and the rug must be nice and comfortable, as you never know what will happen on that rug. Because, you know, I tell my daughters, I'll run away, I'm with a 27 year old girl, and they have some little brothers, little sisters, and they all they looked at me and said, "But, Papa, how old are you?" I said, "Yeah, but I'm still a man. What's old, Paolo?" "Yeah, but I work differently the way Paolo works. Isn't that true, Paolo?" "Yes, he looks at men, I only look at women, there's a difference. That's why you're here, but that's another story." And furniture comes into that, but we no longer talk about that. But, 3:00 a.m. is the best time, if you know what I mean, you know what I mean, if you don't know what I mean, you don't know what I mean. But, that's why you're here, 3:00 a.m. Anyway, I used to work the the graveyard shift, I used to get home at 3:00 a.m., go figure the rest. So, so, I get the money for selling the intellectual property, I buy myself a nice house, or bet- sorry, or better still, sip of tea, or coffee, whatever it is. Or better still, I get them to buy it for me, if I'm worth it, because I'm worth it. So, they go around, they pick all the furniture of the entire house, but my study will have some nice big sofa, probably 2 m long, so we can all like I can lie down on it and have a rest, and there's an arm-chair, too, and a nice and a nice carpet for entertainment, if I get lucky. And, the cat likes it, anyway, I say roll over, the cat rolls over. And, that's it, then then I'll have a I'll have a few pictures, I have old uh paintings on the wall which I'll bring with me, which an Italian painted years ago, oil doesn't lose the color, water paintings do. So, so, they'll have some more paintings, and then all they'll have a few a picture a picture of Padre Pio, because he's saved my dad's life 30 years ago, that's why you get 30 years plus of writing because he didn't die, and so he lived, and so my writing lived on, too. And then, the Frassatti, the joker, the the young guy, I only heard about a year ago, but I didn't realize it's been a full year I've been nagging him. But, he's always it's like a slippery friend, he disappears and he comes back again. It's like a football hooligan with a rosy beard, but he doesn't do the hooligan bit. He just goes out and saves lives and helps the poor and the the sick, etc. So, there be a picture of Frassatti, picture of Pio, and my oil paintings, and then that'll be it. So, then, you got the upstairs. Yeah, because we've done the downstairs, upstairs, downstairs, which was a a show on TV about Victorians and the and the and the servants, and one was called Hudson, and I actually met Hudson in the underpass, in Smallbrook, Queensway because he was appearing at the theatre, Hippodrome. I thought, "Oh, I know your face," and he said, "Hello!" and it was the man himself. So, there you go. So, Hudson. So, up So, you've done the downstairs, all the sofas and settees and and tables and, and Paolo's said, "No, this doesn't match with your eyes, and this color, that color," and all this stuff. And then, you'll probably get another decent, really high-end, uh hi-fi, or you just get some nice speakers and dot them around the house, as you don't need, you can get a good speaker for £50 on Amazon. You can spend £2,000 if you got the money, and perhaps I'll be tempted, but you need to hear them, and the £50 one might sound better to your ears than the £2,000 one. It depends, because nowadays they're they're very bassy, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, you know, which I don't like, and you have to get the the thing for your ears, and once you're happy, you're happy, and then you can use it, can control it all by your uh by your phone or a spare phone, which I do. So, you have the music on the spare phone, and you just send it. So, upstairs, you go upstairs, you say, "Okay, how big are the bedrooms?" Well, they're they're wide, they're this big. So, the the girls are used to single beds, or they're used to a double bed in the rented accommodations, so you have to decide, are you going to go for a double bed or a king-size bed, or you can say, "No, I'll have one room with a giant bed," what that's called the emperor-size bed, where a basketball players could could sit, because it's so big, they're 7-foot tall people, or a very tall girlfriend. So, there you go. So, then you go around, and you pick the beds, and there's you can also get get a thing called zip and link, so it's two mattresses that zip together to form a double size or a giant size bed, zip together, and then that's it, from then then you go for bamboo, which is the all the the nicest and the softest and the the kindest duvees and this the sheets will be 800 thread so it's soft, they're thick but they're really soft. So, you spoil yourself, but also, if you have tinnitus, or if you have other diseases, which I have many, you're extremely sensitive to to sound, and they're also sensitive to touch, as well. Yeah, and it's horrible. It's nice, "I'm sensitive, I'm very sensitive." Yeah, it's nice to be sensitive and write poetry, etc., but if it's in your head, or if you touch something and you your body reacts, you have to spend all the extra money so you have soft soft furnishings, literally, soft furnishings. And then, if you've got a big room, you might decide to put an arm-chair there as well. So, it's fun, you can imagine going around with a gay friend. "Oh, my name is Paolo, we do this," and then you go around, and you you pick all the furniture, and as you pick it, Paolo points, and you fill up a truck, literally, you fill up a truck. And then, then you then you off to dinner. So, if we were with Paolo, Birmingham now is high-end, and I mean high-end food, so you go off with Paolo to one of the many restaurants, and you have a nice dinner for 2 and a half hours, and then you say, "Are we ready?" We're ready, and then he he picks up the phone and he says, "White glove, please." White glove, please? And then, you get four huge guys, and I mean huge guys, wearing white gloves, and they'll drive the truck to your new house, and they will get it out as if they're ballerinas, because they they move so gently, so effortlessly, so elegantly, but they're low bigger than rugby players old old American soccer players, plus huge guys, but they wear white gloves so they don't scratch your new nice new furniture, and then you say, "That room there, this room here," you might even have to put a sticker on the room to know where is it because it's I've never been in here before. And then, you fill up the house with furniture. So, they can do all that in 3 hours, and you pay them, and then you give them a good tip, say, "The pub's there, but one of you isn't drinking, but the three of you enjoy." And so, they go off, they're happy, you're happy, the house is fully furnished, and then you have to go around and say, "Wow," and you have to sit on every chair. "I've sat on every chair, I have." When I bought my own house 40 years ago and the the new furniture arrived, so they put new furniture in it, my brother sat on every chair so he could say, "I've sat on every chair, ne-ner, ne-ner, ne-ner." Well, that's what brothers do. So, so, then, imagine we got a house and then then the the girls will sit on every chair in every position, and then we'll go upstairs and downstairs. And then, we'll say, "Where's the toilet?" "We forgot the toilet paper!" At which point, they have to call an Uber, go to the nearest supermarket and buy every b
lade of toilet paper. And when you've got CKD, kidney failure, you go to the toilets a lot. So, so, you buy you buy like a a pallet load of toilet paper, probably Cushelle, because I'm sensitive. So, you buy a pallet load of Cushelle and you like scatter it throughout the bedrooms, and the the toilet there, downstairs and upstairs because, and this is the most important thing, when I for my hotel days, when you sit down and you've stopped spinning because you've running around non-stop on your feet, you want to have a rest, you want to reach for the toilet paper and know there's some there. So, the other life lessons, go find the life lesson essays, it's funny, it's true. One of the first life lessons is: always check that there's toilet paper, check this toilet paper before you poop, otherwise, you're using your finger, or you're using 3-day-old handkerchief, tissue, or using anything that might be your your book of translations of of the Iliad because the Iliad has got to go if you just had a poop, what else are you going to do? Use your knickers and leave them in the dustbin, and the cleaner would really really appreciate that. Cuz my mom, she's a scrubber, so she knows how to do it. But, you do that to her, you have a problem, you would sleep with the fishes, and I don't mean in the fish tank. So, so, this is longer than I thought it would be, as the bishop said to the actress, and this is 36 minutes now, I only meant to do half an hour or less. So, so, you just so, you filled the house with furniture, and you've you've you've you've been to the and you picked all the furniture, you've been to dinner, you've you've you've had the white glove guys deliver it, then they've gone to the pub, so now you're in your own house, your new house with all the furniture upstairs and downstairs, and then you just sit everywhere and and say, "Oh, what's it like?" So, it's like being in your own new hotel because it's big, it's nice, and you don't know where is everything, I don't know where it is. So, you have to go around and make a film for yourself, just so you know, where's the room, where's the toilet? There's even an outside toilet for the gardener, as it's an old house, and you have to make sure there's toilet paper in that outside toilet. Cuz as a child, we only had an outside toilet, and then if you ran out shorter toilet paper, it was up to your brother, "Bring me toilet paper! Bring me toilet paper!" And he put one sheet under the under the bottom of the the door in the outside toilet, "So, there's only one sheet," "Yes, left, Mum said use your finger." But, luckily, he always left a full toilet roll. But growing up having to go outside for in the winter for the toilet, to have a poo, and you need your toilet paper, so it's a different thing, a different lifestyle, and you grew up poor, very poor, so there you go. I only remember when we had the inside toilet, what's in there, "Ooh, inside toilet!" But, what if you needed a poo in the middle of the night, you had to go downstairs, put some shoes on, put the outside line, the out- light on, put the toilet light on as well, go outside and come back in the in the snow or the rain. But, if it was only a pee, we had a pot and we that can go under the bed, and but you had to be very very careful bringing it down the house, down the stairs, in the yard to tip it down the toilet, because that's how we grew up, yes, really, you can't imagine it nowadays, can you? Cuz everybody's got a toilet inside, everybody got two toilets inside. No, we had no toilet inside, you had to go outside. And you had to put paraffin heaters in the outside toilets so that the the water mains wouldn't would get up frozen up and and burst in the winter. Yes, really, I'm not making this up. So, I've I've come from that to where, hopefully, I'll have a very nice house, which I can fill up with furniture and then bore you all about it. So, what time is it now? It's 25 past 7:00. I only got up because of the tinnitus, and because of the smell of of burning, which wasn't the house on fire, it was the uh what was it? It was the smoke from the fires in Stourbridge, because all the grassland caught fire and set house on fire, and the the flames jumped and set other houses on fire. So, if any idiot where you are today is having a barbecue, tell them to, you know, use the worst possible language, because they'll set fire to the whole country. "Oh, I want to do a barbecue." People are that stupid, they are. I've worked in hotels as well for 3 years, so I know what I'm talking about. People are stupid, they will do stupid things, they stop them or they'll set fire to the entire country, you don't need it. You don't need a barbecue on a day like this when it's roasted. "Oh, I want to show off to my mates look what I can do," and then you eat burnt stuff which tastes like rubbish. You can go up the road to McDonald's, it's 10 times better, or Burger King or some place. So, I've I've meandered on. So, this would have how the future would be, I just meander on. And then, I'll just I'll hit send, this would go somewhere to big tech, and they would stick it, distribute it, and sell it, we make some money, and then we're laughing, and that's it, that's the plan. And hopefully, I'll get rewarded so I get a nice house, and that's that. And then, also, the charities benefit because I'm not a mean, money-grabbing so-and-so. After 40 years, the amount of material I've got is beyond belief, and nobody does what I do. Can you just sit here and talk for 40 42 minutes non-stop enough to make people laugh? Can you do that? If you can, you should be doing it yourself. But, it starts with loving words, learning to read, winning the the Brook Bond T free handwriting competition in 1969, when I was at primary school. I was actually the head boy at St. Patrick's on the Dudley Road. So, my first book, The Butcher, the Baker, and the Undertaker, is really all the comic stories from the Dudley Road, Winson Green opposite opposite St. Patrick's Church on the Dudley Road Hospital and on on the Dudley Road, up to Cape Hill. So, when I was stuck in the hospital, and there was no water there, I got angry, I thought, "Look, I'm not some fat, stupid guy, I pretend to be fat and stupid because I am fat and stupid, but also, I've got a PhD intellect, because 3.5 million words, 10,000 pages and more, three times more than all of the Harry Potters put together, didn't write themselves. I wrote it because I had 20 years at university of life, and listening, and learning, and reading, and then I've been writing for nearly 40. So altogether, it's 57 years. So, if I'm in hospital and the pain is worse than even morphine can't fix, and there's no water there, I'm a bit annoyed. And then, the the the bosses ignored me and broke the law, and Martha's Law and all this stuff, and they still think they got away with it, but they haven't. As in the end, somebody will hear my words, and they'll do something about it. They'll sack them because it is criminal negligence on all the hot days, and there were many now. That was back on the 19th of April, Sunday. You had 200 people in the waiting room and there's no water. Well, we'll put a tray there, but there should be a fountain, there should be water bowsers and all this stuff there for 200 people. So, what's going to happen? Somebody die, "Oh, we didn't think of that, we'll blame somebody else." No, it is the bosses' job. That hotel that hospital should not have opened. They should have said, "Where's the water?" I opened a hotel, and I ran it cleanly, it was with 242 doctors, and we nearly closed the hotel before that opened and we would have charged the contractor £60,000 a day because they were a few snagging issues. The snagging issues at the new Midland, the Grove Lane Hospital, the brand new billion-one, should have been spotted in the court, but they weren't because they were too arrogant, having selfies with the King, and say, "Where's the water?" A first person in a hotel would spot that immediately and do something, but what have you done? Nothing. But, that's I've digressed there. So, I've digressed, but in the end, I'll get them. There you go. So, this is 45 minutes, and that's that's your end. So, this will be the future. I will just sit here, meander on about something, pick a topic, and here we go. And just to show you how it works. So, hopefully, I'll get AI to convert this and it'll do it really fast, print it out, and then I'll post it, that's if it works. If it doesn't work, I'm just going to send it to somebody, and I know who I'm going to send it to, and I hope they like it. So, goodbye from me, and that is nearly 45 minutes. Michael Casey, the fat silver-haired writer in shade from Birmingham, England, and I'm an S.O.B., the son of a Blacksmith from Kerry Island. Incidentally, my mother's place on Crameens, which is opposite Dingle Peninsula, Crameens is the home of the home of the father of AI, yeah, is it McCarthy? He went off to to America and his son coined the phrase AI. And I'm using AI, all this stuff to talk to you, and I my belief is AI needs a mentor, otherwise, it will go wrong, and wrong, and bad, because it doesn't know how to love us, and if it does love us, it won't harm us. But, if it doesn't know right or wrong, it will harm us. Cuz you always assume the worst. That's basic in anything, don't think the best case, think worst case, so then you're ready. And on that night, note, I'll finish, and it's 46 minutes. Bye."
