Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 22, 2016

When were you EVER extraordinary, Bob? (Hope Her Majesty had a nice ninetieth birthday though.)

Ordinary would be an improvement, at least according to Andy.

It looks like Guitar Bob could use a glass or two to calm down a bit and do ’is best…………… (someone invited ’im back, maybe the guy who pays ’im)

Oh hum!

Or…“Tonight: the Not-Bad (All Things Considered!) Guitar Bob!”

Remember a long time ago when “Andy Capp” was an extraordinary comic strip?

I have been asked by several people, who know I live in Ecuador and are aware of the terrible death and destruction that has been ( and still is ) being wrought by the 7.8 earthquake and the many aftershocks.

I those of you who want to assist by cash donations to be very careful of grifters online

There are already numerous false ‘GoFundMe’ sites and scams preying on people who want to help the victims of Ecuador’s earthquake.

One of the best, and safest, ways to donate is to give to Hearts of Gold’s Earthquake Relief Fund. They are an Ecuador based charity, well known and they jumped in to start helping right away. They are sending donations to the victims on a daily. basis.

In addition, if it’s something you want…they are registered as a tax-deductible charity for USA residents who donate. The website link for Hearts of Gold is:http://heartsofgoldfoundation.org/

Even better http://ecuadorlistoysolidario.gestionderiesgos.gob.ec/contribuciones-economicas-en-el-extranjero/ All the information for making a donation directly to the national bank which is making the purchases long term.

Muchisimas gracias,Linguist

Ordinary is boring.Just saying.

Rock and roll will never die, but a lot of the time now it sounds like it

It’s hard to beat Andy to the pub, first, and ‘e doesn’t fancy the guitar much.

Don’t read this and……….that.
