Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 28, 2023

Good news: It doesn’t need learning. That was from the past.

Great purple jacket too! Maybe be a drummer Andy, you you like to beat on things and people…

I may have made more money playing bass last year than I did at my day job.

And you get to wear ratty purple coats, too!!

Shabbat shalom, rjm and Eldo (wherever you are).

Yeah? What about the endless hours of practice?

Oh, BASS guitar. Right, nevermind then.

Andy and Guitar Bob, starring nightly

If you’d just told Andy about the free beer first, you could have saved yourself the trouble of telling him the rest.

Andy probably won’t reach first bass.

Money for nothing and your chicks for free.

Oi! Andy meets Bill Wyman! Dilly! Dilly!

And you can wear a purple ‘fur’ coat? Free Eldo!

I used to play bass in a country band. Easiest gig ever.

The classics feature Ruby today.

Thank you Eldo for today’s classics. Sure would be nice to hear from Affie at some point…it’s been a long time since he told us he’d be having his favorite nosh for dinner tonight.

Andy’s gonna need all the pluck he can get.

I’m surprised, after all, he did mention having to work

I’ll give you three guesses, Flo.

Andy has ambition…..

Andy will need to get a Purple Blazer!!!

Seems like Andy will even do honest work for free pint. Who knew?

As far as I can remember, this is the first time Andy has shown any kind of enthusiasm about any kind of job.

I had a buddy who claimed that he became a drummer so that he could hang out with real musicians!

Release the Humor!

Bring back Our Man in Exile!!!

¡FREE ƹʅɗʘ! ༼ (ಠ益ಠ) ༽

Just strum the strings and turn up the amps.

Well it worked for Mick Jagger, and we know he’s not exactly on Adonis

Ring-a-ding-ding, The Achieve King strikes again!

Free Eldo!

I once knew an electric bass player who had the personality of a rattlesnake with a hernia. The only reason he lasted as long as he did with a particularly famous rock band was that he was the only member of the group who could read music, write compositions, and transpose music.

I hope somebody from next door who can’t play the guitar steals Andy’s guitar so he can’t play it either.

I’m sure our Eldo will know which Smythe strip I’m referencing!

@Everyone

£18.65 went into my PayPal today from the surveys and I’m expecting a pound or two from a cashback purchase as well.

I am £7 away from reaching my £400 target for this year and it’s nearly May. Whoop!

I hope our Affie has enjoyed his favourite nosh today. I know I’m going to enjoy mine!

See you all after the weekend!

Oh, Andy

Just what Andy’s been striving for all his life. (Well, except maybe the ‘work’ part)

That might be something he can do. . . maybe.

Mr. Purple Coat obviously doesn’t work with Guitar Bob, since he enjoys his job.

“Get given?”
