Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 01, 2013

The Paperback reprints i’m scanning feature beaucoup Mum so stay-tuned. Like later Todai soon.

My MIL is ok. Andy’s, not so much. But I would really like to hear a few good zingers from “Mum”.

I’m guessing Andy’s mum found him in the garden under an empty beer bottle.

We hear of Mum often, see Her never, but is the question does She have actual dialogue in the Strip? Yes; more-than several times. Florrie’s Mum even directs some ripsotes towards Andy.

“He did. and stop calling mi Shirley”

Do we ever hear of Andy’s mum?^^Not that I can recall… anyone else?

Spoiler alert: Andy’s not seriously leaving Florrie:If He’s not packing the Pigeons, it’s a bluff.

Non-sequitur?Andy Capp’s a Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man

I have a feeling that Chalkie might be SLIGHTLY kinder to his mother-in-law.Unlike, Mr. Andrew Capp!LOL xxx

Some commercials are a hoot and fun, even if they are selling something I wouldn’t buy in a million years.-Sometimes they eventually release stuff where they put back the missing bits. My “Good Life” DVD set had the Christmas one and a show where they gave tribute to the actors, with the Queen in attendance..I love the smell of buttered popcorn but never did like eating it, even when I had teeth to bite it with. When the hull bits jam between teeth and it feels like they are being pushed apart…….. aaand……. YOU CAN’T GET THE BLOODY THINGS OUT !! Going back to meek mild mannerness now..-Joe is starting the trim in the second bedroom. The kitchen windows should be here in a day or two. The house next door that Heather had been staying in with the old woman has a roll-away dumpster in the rear drive-away. They will be auctioning off a couple of tractors and other stuff before selling the property. -Warm and sunny here today.Happy Monday ! _____________________________________________

You know what else I don’t like? Toffees. The main reason is because they start to get sickly after a while and gets stuck to your teeth quite badly so the toothbrush has to work overtime.-I have never saw “The Good Life” before but you have mentioned it to me quite a few times. It sounds great though. I’m determined to keep my DVD of all the Blackadders.-Stephen Fry was excellent as General Melchett.-I hope the auctioning goes well and everything else too!-Oh and thank you for the ‘Congrats’ on my 6th blood donation. It went very well. I was able to watch my blood bag filling up this time because they had new beds so the bag was much easier to see and I was just watching it fill up for most of the donation. It looked cool.-I hope you are doing well and Happy Tuesday to you!

Summat got lit-up

C’est vous, non??

I remember one strip in the pub when Andy is calling for a beer, and somebody else off-panel calls for one at the same time. Jackie rushes to the unknown customer, commenting “The only one who can get served faster than Capp is another Capp, right, Andy?” The off-panel voice says, “Want to make something of it?” Andy replies, “No, Mum.”

@ Number SixTake yer time i need the Six who can give AND take a Joke. Baby steps are fine; not everyone is John Coltrane. ;)

San Antonio, really! Try the comforting and loving ministrations by the gentlemen in Smoky Bear Hats at Parris Island, South Carolina. Wonderful place. Oh and don’t forget your visit to the Sand Flea exhibit.
