Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 26, 2013

In the nicaragüense episode of “Bizarre Foods” on Travel Channel, they slurped spoons of coffee for taste testing followed by spitting it out.

Somebody’s a whiner, not a Beerer.

I worked in a winery for awhile, sometimes we had to dump bad bottles for various reasons, into a big plastic barrel; we’d all get a bit buzzed, just from the fumes!

I think Andy aids the economy from the other side

That’s our Andy. :)

by sticking your face right in the barrel ?^^No, just standing over it…. stick your face in and sniff and it made you extremely dizzy

Wine tasters spit, beer tasters drink, part of the flavour profile is in the swallowing. In the great tradition of the Goodies, “GET IT RIGHT”

ALCOHOL ABUSE!!!!

BLASPHEMER!!

Panel 4 of today’s strip…

After a long days labour, all Andy could say was honorificabilitudinitatibus…..

What a waste of good beer!

I know a lot of you don’t like the current artists doing AC, but you have got to admit, this one is good.It got more than a chuckle out of me. : D

Sad, isn’t it?

I’ve been having fun surfing through older posts and I ran across this one from exactly one year ago:-———————————-Prof danglais said, about 1 year ago@beviekThe only job Andy ever applied for was as quality taster at the local brewery.

I’ve been looking for an Andy Capp strip which is funny enough to add to my Favourites and I’ve finally found it.Yes, Andy… Spit it out. You applied for a job as a Beer TASTER not a Beer SWALLOWER.LOL xxx

In surfing back a year or more I notice that MG&Gs offerings seemed to be consistently better then than they are now. This is one example. From July 9, 2012

Tell it to STAY AWAY !   Being sick is to be saved for when you are at school, even though I missed very little school in all the years I was there. -Spent the day shopping and looking at curtain-blind schemes for the bathroom. Got my truck emission tested for registration. Passed handily. It is the drive on dynamometer that simulates an actual driving condition which includes running the vehicle up to 60 MPH. This testing is done in a nine county front range region. They no longer do the stupid sticker-in-the-lower left-corner of the windscreen jive. You take the lower portion of the page as proof of passing, to Motor Vehicles upon reregistering the car. -I bought the oversize shower curtain. May be going for the 2 inch slats blinds for the window as our seamstress, Joe’s wife, has passed and we’re helpless to get a long drape that we wont be hemming up. -There was a spell of hard rain, with big boomy noises and wind. I picked a cucumber today.With Thursday slipping away….. happy, happy, Friday !

I am glad your truck passed it’s test. Did they used to be those type stickers where you had to scrape it off the windscreen because of the glue? That’s really annoying and takes up too much time. -I’m sure the shower curtain will look good when it’s up. Is it plain, patterned…etc?-I am so sorry to hear about Joe’s wife. Joe is now another person who is in my thoughts right now. I hope he is doing OK despite everything.

A very Happy Friday to you too!

@Gweedo Murray:

You little home decorator, you.

The number of times I’ve improved my landlords / ladies’ properties, never have I received a word of thanks. I gave up on my last rented house, just decorating the living room as it really was disgusting. I left it with all rooms wired for TV, networking and telephone. Wish I’d ripped it all out.

I really must agree with Andy. You just don’t waste beer.

Has all of Shakespeare been exported to the rest of the world?

FANOLIO I don’t see any Dos Equis Amber in that photo! :-(

Number Six judging by your one post (where the photo disappeared), it looks to me like they were pretty “skimpy” on the snacks! :-D

See you in a few days, Beviek. Don’t do anything you can’t do riding backwards on your bicycle.

I wonder if anyone else is thinking ‘Doc’ from Cannery Row? No? Well, waste never basically.

HAVE FUN YOU TWO!

Actually beer tasters do not spit it out because part of what they have to taste, unlike coffee tasters, is the aftertaste as you swallow. I used to work at the St Louis Anheuser Busch brewery. Their beer tasters have to take a breathalyzer test before driving home for that reason.

Sacrilege!
