Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 01, 2011

Hmm – I wonder where she learned THAT from!

Yeah riiiiight, and what happened to your pool cue again, last time you got beat at Snooker?

Andy, good to see your missus has your same regard of good sportsmanship as you. We all remember the placement of that pool cue SIMON refers to.

Maybe this will remind the Andy hating commenters that Flo gives as good as she gets.

ROFLMAO!! Good one!

They were playing for real money… Andy plays with IOU’s (smart man) ANDY always wins.

Hahahahahaha, LOL!

Times really have changed.. In the ones that Reg Smythe wrote, Andy used to beat Flo up for beating him at Pool.. Hope that is a lesson to you Andy Capp!

Good of you Flo teach Andy a lesson.

Monopoly tokens are made from pewter, not silver. In the UK editions of Monoply, the tokens were:

1935 (Original) Edition: dog, top hat, wheel barrow, race car, boot, iron, battleship, thimble

1995 (60th Anniversary) Edition: Elephant, Bathtub, Trophy, Candlestick, Tram, Rich Uncle Pennybags, Boot and Car

1999 (Millenium) Edition: Elephant, Bathtub, Trophy, Candlestick, Tram, Rich Uncle Pennybags, Boot and Car

2007 (Here & Now) Edition: Mobile phone, Roller blade, Hamburger, Jumbo Jet, Racing Car, Skateboard and London Bus

They must have been playing with an original edition of the game.

I’ve heard of talking through your hat, but this is a new twist.

I think he meant silver COLORED.

Hasbro also sells a Deluxe Edition, which is mostly identical to the classic edition but has wooden houses and hotels and gold-toned tokens, including one token in addition to the standard eleven, a railroad locomotive. Other additions to the Deluxe Edition include a card carousel, which holds the title deed cards, and money printed with two colors of ink.

In 1978, retailer Neiman Marcus manufactured and sold an all-chocolate edition of Monopoly through its “Christmas Wish Book” for that year. The entire set was edible, including the money, dice, hotels, properties, tokens and playing board. The set retailed for $600.

In 2000, the FAO Schwarz store in New York City sold a custom version called One-Of-A-Kind Monopoly for $100,000.[20] This special edition comes in a locking attaché case made with Napolino leather and lined in suede, and features include:

18-carat (75%) gold tokens, houses, and hotels Rosewood board Street names written in gold leaf Emeralds around the Chance icon Sapphires around the Community Chest Rubies in the brake lights of the car on the Free Parking Space The money is real, negotiable United States currency

The Guinness Book of World Records states that a set worth $2,000,000 and made of 23-carat gold, with rubies and sapphires atop the chimneys of the houses and hotels, is the most expensive Monopoly set ever produced. This set was designed by artist Sidney Mobell to honor the game’s 50th anniversary in 1985.

Kind o’ funny!

Excellent! ROFL
