Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 23, 2024

Hey, Cappers!

I want to apologise yet again for hardly commenting now. I promise I haven’t forgotten about you. However I did want to come on here to tell you all that I’m now a qualified drone pilot.

Yes, you read that right. I passed the theory test yesterday. I scored 39/40 and was issued my own Flyer ID from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority)

I don’t have my own drone but a close friend who comes to see me every couple of months has been teaching me how to fly his. I had no idea you even needed to pass a test to fly a drone. That shows how uneducated I really am. I passed the test on my second try.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to show you my Flyer ID as it looks like GoComics are not even allowing links on profiles now. However feel free to search for ‘Annelise Hamilton’ and my Flickr page should come up. I have uploaded it there. I really don’t want to put a link here in case this comment is removed.

One more thing, I’d like to say Congratulations to Egrayjames for giving blood again recently. Please let me know which hospital it ends up at!

Goodnight, Cappers. I love you and I hope you’re all doing great.

Landlord? Shouldn’t Jack’s professional title be “Publican”??

well Jack … you could’ve mentioned the quiz night to spare yourself the embarrassment !

“I too am an Influencer. My name is Roger the Influencer.”

Andy back drinking Jacks’ watered down beer. Another bad IOU. Entertainment starts at closing time young feller.

I thought that the Pickled Sausages were punishment , Guitar Bob is penance !

the entertainment is the punishment. ;)

For privacy reasons, NO ONE knows where blood donations go to. Once the blood is tested, classified, and cleared for use in transfusions, it goes in the blood bank.

Guitar Bob may/may not be OK. But he’ll never get any respect from Andy.

The looks on their faces says it all……

I think Jack uses Guitar Bob as his “secret weapon” to drive Andy out of his pub when he’s had enough.

When this “Influencer” asks for free drinks in return for “exposure” Andy is going to get an education!

Actually, Andy’s the nightly entertainment in the Rose.

That’s all he can afford considering the lack of paying customers.

And I thought Andy was the nightly entertainment.

“Guitar Bob” and "entertainment really don’t belong in the same sentence.

Andy, you’re the entertainment!

The only “Influencers” I ever knew were tough, scary guys with names like Big Louie, Knuckles McGurk, or Sid the Slasher!

Shouldn’t it be “Guitar George?”
