Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 04, 2013

They all look the same when you’ve had a few too many. (Or so they tell me.) :-)

Very good strip today, Smythe would have been pleased :)

Then there was the guy who came in late, just as the clock struck one. His wife asks, “What time is it?” He responds “Ten o’clock, dear”. The wife asks “Then why did the clock just strike one?” “Um… that clock doesn’t strike 0”.

Some one asked about the animal park where you drive through slowly. probably African Lion Safari near Hamilton^^From Wiki:African Lion Safari is a family-owned safari park situated in Flamborough, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Toronto. The mailing address is in Cambridge, Ontario. It includes more than 1,000 animals, representing over 100 species of mammals and birds from across the globe. Guests may tour seven game reserves (with a total area of about 300 hectares) traversed via tour buses or the visitors’ own vehicles where animals roam freely in large contained areas. Accompanying the game reserves is a large walking section where hundreds of exotic birds

This Ford Escort wagon is identical to my car!(Which I bought in Hamilton…. hmmm)

Stupid Idiot! This one is funny… But not as funny as the classics.

LOL xxx

I don’t even know where “Irvine Meadows” is, never mind the lion.

I believe the boy Porky, called the dog lying down “Pokey”. The dog does look very slack. The boy with the straight hair, above the other boy early in the clip, is Timmy. .Bad guys and girls abound as foes that the Dr. has to deal with. The Cybermen are essentially robots with implanted people brains or some such. The Daleks were created as machine creatures with a live protoplasmic type living blob of a creature inside the hard shell. Davros, the mad scientist, created the Daleks as his instrument for conquering the universe, one planet, one galaxy at a time. Reminds me of Hitler; once you’ve achieved your objective, then what ? I am glad you feel better. And a busy Capp page is a good page !The sun was good.

Ohhhh I see… Thank you for the explanation. It was a lovely clip.

The Daleks look awesome… I kept thinking they were from Star Wars/Star Trek because it looked like the sort of machines used in ANY Sci Fi programme.

I’ve been getting a really sore throat since yesterday and everytime I swallow it feels ‘heavy’ like I’m swallowing pebbles or something.

I think it might be my tonsils… They were swollen today.

I just hope I won’t have to have them removed since I’ve done really well in keeping my tonsils for 18 years.

I’ve took medicine and lozengers and everything is OK so far…

Anyway, Sorry for boring you… LOL.

I hope YOU’RE doing well at least.

poor Andy, all keyed up.

Hah! “The pint of no return”…funny!

This is what happens when you come home to the right door.

How to know that you are a drunkard.

1. You wake up in the bedroom, your underwear is in the bathroom, you fell asleep clothed.

2. The whole bar says ‘Hi’ when you come in..

3. You think the Four Basic Food Groups are Caffeine, Nicotine, Alcohol, and [Women or Men].

4. Every night you’re beginning to find your roommate’s cat more and more attractive.

5 Whoopi Goldberg looks good.

6. Don’t recognize wife unless seen through bottom of glass.

7. That damned pink elephant followed me home again.

8. I’m as sober as a judge.

9. The shrubbery’s drunk from too frequent watering.

10. You wake up screaming ‘Beer Beer Beer!’ in the middle of the night.

11. You lose arguments with inanimate objects.

12. You have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the earth.

13. Your job is interfering with your drinking.

14. Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.

15. Where are we?

16. The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.

17. You sincerely believe alcohol is the elusive 5th food group.

18. 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case – coincidence? I think not!

19. Two hands and just one mouth.. – now THAT’S a drinking problem!

20. You can focus better with one eye closed.

21. The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.

22. You fall off the floor..

23. Hey, 5 beers has just as many calories as a burger, screw dinner!

24. What do I write here? Hic

25. Mosquitoes catch a buzz after attacking you.

26. At AA meetings you begin: ‘Hi my name is.. uh..’

27. Your idea of cutting back is less salt.

Either way Andy, you’re gonna get it!

Trying this one again since my first try didn’t seem to “take” : It’s a poor workman who blames his tools. (You wouldn’t see a burglar blame his lockpicks!) Oh, well, at least Andy was in the right block……he could’ve ended up on the other side of town. (He probably has!)

Thank you for that… I think it’s gone now. But if it hurts again in a few days time or whenever…I’ll take your advice and start fasting and keep warm.

I’m really glad you didn’t need the operation after all. I hope your Mum, Dad and Ron took it easy after their operations.

I hope you enjoy your fitness and thank you again for the advice.

I’m feeling a lot better now.

This is just wrong.

Hi Gang. Long tome no see. I have been staying at a friend’s place while lending my place out to some people. I’m totally out of routine, but I hope to return soon.

Hi six, beviek, eldo and other Cap fans.

Oh Gweedo, you’re so baaaaaaaaad.

You’re replying to Gweedo Murray’s comment:

Thanks for the reserve shot. We were there in the early 1970s, so I guess a lot of upgrade has gone on since then. How’s your Escort been treating you ? A friend of mine has a 2000 Focus four door sedan.^^Escorts are like the early Beetles, you can abuse the crap out of them, and they just keep on going
