Anything but that

two shepherd’s pies is worse, Chalkie? how so?

Like you were going to stay home anyway Andy? Use the "famous pot’ and cook some ramen Mr Capp…

@Number Three today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp can look at the bright side of life :o) my avatar again is aa picture of my birth sign Leo roaring because he’s in a good mood like I am , how was your day? our day should be a little busy , but we should cope I hope , we both are in a good mood , no shopping or errands to run just stay inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s windy outside keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

P’S I am not taking the anti covid jab ,it has been rumoured that it could actually kill you

I wonder if the Capp stove actually has temperature controls.

The main ingredient is German Shepherd or Belgian?

good point Chaklie. Now, what someone tells her what you’ve just said hmmmm ….

I love shepherd’s pie! Although… maybe not Flo’s…

Shepherd’s Pie is good. Healthy too.

Andy complains and complains about Flo but she is his meal money in more than one way. More than one way. The little tiny ungrateful beggar sot …

I hadn’t thought about it before but I guess Jack doesn’t have a kitchen the way many pubs do. Maybe there’s a Chippy around the corner where Chalkie can buy Andy something to eat.

Yes, I have followed this recipe. I also subbed beef for the lamb. If you don’t have HP sauce use A1. Background: it is what he eats on the road with the band before concerts. It is his grandfather’s recipe.

Break out the HP sauce.

The second one she took with her to her sister’s.

All the better to wash it down with ale.

Chalkie the Optimist.

I’m not a pie person myself. I prefer sausage rolls.

Hey, Affie.

I met up with my friend today and we had a great time. However he never stops talking and when people talk for a long time, I struggle to take everything in and I end up switching off. It was still nice to see him though and to meet in a different town.

I thought you already had your COVID shots? Or jabs as we say here. Anyway it’s entirely up to you whether you have them or not. I had 2 Pfizer and the Moderna booster. To tell you the truth, I only got them because I was desperate for things to go back to normal and also because my Dad is in the vulnerable category for health. I got the jabs to protect him. He had COVID a few months ago but he didn’t end up being hospitalized for it. He was in hospital for kidney stones and he found out he had COVID there. His symptoms were that of a head cold.

Don’t let anybody pressure you. The vaccine is currently being trialled anyway. Some people would rather wait until the trials are over and that’s fine. I’m very much a “Live and Let Live” person and never say to people “You shouldn’t be doing that” or “That’s a bad idea” etc.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

Could be worse. It could a cow pie instead of a shepherd’s pie. (Sorry if I have offended anyone.) Shepherd’s pie is good, but it’s not something I’d want to have all the time.
